Is it Possible To Make $500 In A Week Using Only 1 Site?

First things first. I hate people that come in here, promising the world. I was once a newbie and this is a fantastic forum...but you have to sit down and be true to yourself. If you want to fire you boss, you have to work hard at it, day in and day out.

Your plan is good. But where most people fail is sitting there, dreaming a big idea, holding their fake $100,000 check and dreaming money will come to them. Its the first step, but next take action. I mean any little things you can think of. Just take action, even if you fail you know that you screwed it up royally....but BINGO you now know what you should not focus on....

I have screwed up big time in the past, and i would say out of about 5 things I try, 2 screw up badly...1 is mediocre, and the other two really hit the ball out of the park. So I just go with the flow and concentrate on the two that bring me good money.

If you go back and read my statement about a list, you are wasting your time online if you dont buy aweber or getresponse (or any other) autoresponder. SIMPLE AS THAT! 65% - 70% of the sales i make are from sending emails to qualified lists. Articles marketing makes up the other 20% or so. Then direct seo traffic.

Sorry if I am repeating myself, but you cutting yourself short by not having list. Having a list of people waiting for your emails, is like a license to print money.

People do not come in here and post "I built a damn list, and I am making damn money!" for no reason. It works, so as my mentor once said, the best time to start building a list of qualified prospects is YESTERDAY! when you work this out.....you will never ever have to work for a smelly, fat arse, numb nuts boss ever again in our LIFE!

Come back and let us know how you go.

Hope this helps you make the green stuff!

Celente.

Not using an autoresponder will definitely handicap you, but there are other ways, more tedious ways, to build a list without one. The autoresponder, usually associated with "building" a list, does much more than this. It's "all that other manual stuff" that will make you work much harder than you have to. I guess that's why you are thinking Adsense.

I'm sure that others who know a lot more about marketing than I do could advise you better. I really agree that there are easier ways to get to your goal of $500 per week than with Adsense. You will normally need a bucket load of traffic on a consistent basis to make that happen.

Of course it can be done. It's called having a business

A different thing is if you want it to be on that mark after just one week life. That is much harder to achieve. But if what you want is to build it to the point in which it makes $500 a week as a result of growing of course it can be done.

Pick a niche you know about if you want a solid start. It can be done in a niche you know nothing about, itsimply requires doing research prior to getting knee deep into it.

Ideally you want to make it about something you are passionate about. It makes things a lot easier as you will thoroughly ENJOY wht you are doing, which will be helpful when the nearly inevitable trial and error frustration starts biting.

From that point on its a matter that has been discussed and explained to death on this forum:

- Quality Content
- Good Layout
- On page SEO
- Off page SEO
- Build quality traffic
- Monetizing options (Adsense or Adsense like advertising, affiliate marketing, creating your own product, building a list, Banner advertising, local marketing if its a local focused site, etc
- Automatisation of as many processes as possible to streamline
- Constant improvement which means going over everything above mentioned in an organised manner to improve it.

If you do all of this AND manage to develop a strong Brand that people get to know and trust you are guaranteed to go well beyond the $500 weekly mark. If you dont believe me you can ask thep eople at Google, Facebook, Amazon, Ebay (you know who Im talking about right?)

The point is, treat it the same way you would treat an offline business and the $500 mark will soon be a thing of the past.

Of course there is also the option of building a lot of smaller ones that add up ( there is currently a vey hot topic about VRE going here) but with a one site option theplan is basically to nurture it the tried and proven way.

Hope this helps.

PS: Re reading this post I realized once again how on paper an internet business doesnt sound that complicated. Makes you wonder why most people never make a dime with it.)
