    lorenzmac, congrats!
    Now is to drive more traffic to it and wait for it to hit $100 before you get your first cheque.

    I am thinking about making another niche website around an affiliate product.

    Thing is i wouldn't know what product to promote. Is Comission junction good for affiliate marketing?

    Congratulations! Now scale this up and start building more of these adsense sites so that you can multiply your income. Start thinking in terms of multiple streams of income, and don't forget to diversify beyond just monetizing your sites with Adsense!

    Do you guys have any good ways to analyze competition before i make my next website so i won't have to worry about competition as much on my next website?

    I'm proud of you, Lorenz. I expect to be able to post that a former "student" of mine is now kicking my ass and making a lot more money than me in a year or so. Don't let me down! LOL

    Seriously, congrats man. You worked hard for it. There's more out there... go grab ya some.

    Hey lorenzmac,

    That's terrific! I made my first dollar about a year ago and I'm closing in on $100.00 w/ad sense.Can't wait to get that first check. Actually I don't focus on ad sense, but on the Clickbank products I'm promoting, so I'm actually doing about $1.50 a day. I do it all with a free blogspot blog and concentrate on publishing on EZA. The neat thing is I haven't done anything to this blog since May.

    Life has thrown me some curves and I've haven't had time to devote to IM. But getting back in the swing of things. I do believe you can generate income using frre blogs. The important thing is of course having the right keywords. I rank first using "aching back blues". I also try to design my blog as professionally as possible using good graphics, pictures and of course videos.

    Haven't spent much time backlinking, so all in all not bad for a free blog. By the way I'm 64 so if I can do it anybody can. Next year I hope to have at least 50 blogs. I might even spend some of my ad sense money and build some mini sites. Who needs Social Security!

    Congrats! Doesn't it feel good to finally start seeing some $$$ from your work? Rinse and repeat, add to it, and grow.

    I remember when I finally got my first check that was over $4,000 from working online ... I copied and framed that baby! It took a while to get there, but I did it, and you can too! These days, I don't copy and frame the checks lol... my walls would be full! But I still remember the ahhhhh feeling of finally starting to make those $$$.

    Just keep going and keep on climbing!

    as they say the first dollar is always the hardest. SO Its onwards and upwards from here.

    Once you have something that works you need to test, tweak, test and then tweak again and then upscale to the max. Then say BYE BYE to that idiot boss.

    Here's cheers to your continued success. keep up the good work!!

      Someone may have stumbled upon it and linked to it. That happens all the time when you put up good content.

      Ramp up your promotions with it and keep adding more good content and you will see it happen more often.

    That's great. Every dollar you earn, counts. That would be the start and with strong determination, that 1.49 would be then 149 and double and triple. It is better to see your income in an upturn growth rather than from up to down...

    keep it up!

    @bitriot and dawnbreaker

    Keep promoting your sites. Write articles, get backlinks, etc...and if your sites are in a niche where people are hungry for information/services/goods/whatever, you will see those numbers jump and hopefully snowball.

    Just a little obvious advice. LOL!

    Good luck.

    To answer your question on researching the competition, Traffic Travis has both a free tool and a paid tool. The free one is great, and you can get a lot of information on your competition. I use it regularly.

    AllyW,
    I actually use Traffic Travis to analyze my competition. But, lately it hasn't been working. I would look up a keyword on TT and nothing shows up.

    Is this only happening to me? Or has this happened to other people also.

    Hey lorenz, are you tracking your stats? Find out where these people come from, and how they found your sites. Which keywords did they use?

    Then go and add more content based on those keywords, and write articles on those and submit to article directories.

    Congrats! That is so awesome! I got inspired the other day because I got a $59 clickbank check for an account that I never do anything with. It's just one ad on a site. I just haven't had the time to do anything. It motivates me though becuase now I realize that I really need to get in gear and do more. The potential is there.
