How come you can outsource someone to make you a adsense website that generates $50-$100 a day and only charge $300 to do it?

I'm really confused and wanted to make sure it wasn't a scam. Please inform me on why people might do this?

    You are referring to the person building the site for $300 right?

    Well first off to get an Adsense page up to $50 to $100 per day can take a long time to do, if at all. Then you are at the mercy of Google to keep it there. You get paid net 30 after you make $100 in any given month.

    If you can build quality websites and market yourself to the point of getting just 2 clients per week at $300 per, you are way ahead. You get paid immediately.

    Not a scam, (although just like anything else there may be some bad apples), just a solid business model for a good website designer.

      What do you mean by "You get paid net 30 after you make $100 in any given month." ?

        Say you get a site up with Adsense on it today, and at the end of this month it generated $20 in earnings from the clicks to the ads on your site. You will not get paid yet. So then lets say by next month the site generates $90 in earnings from the clicks it received for September. You then have crossed the $100 theshold to get paid. You would get paid $110 at around Oct 30th hence Net 30, (30 days from when you are eligible for a payment). If in October you go over $100 you will get paid at the end of November, if you don't go over it just keeps adding up until it does in a given month.

        Hope this clarifies it for you.

        Regards
        Scott

      That's absolutely right, for adsense you ahve to wait for long time and in outsourcing you will earn when your job is came to end.

    If you wanna get in, i would recomend to setup 1-2-3 blogs, prefered in Blogger, Do a keyword research, find what you like and think that will be easy for you, ad a few posts to each blog, wait at least 1-2 wekks, then try to get Adsense Account if u dont have one. Dont buy ready sites if u dont know nothing about SEO, u gonna loose your money only.
    $50-$100 IS NOT EASY TO EARN, he are a lot of factors. I can give u some keywords, 2-3 clicks and you'll have your $100 a day, But to get traffic for those keywords its a Big Question Adwords for 1 click charge more than $100, So PPC is not for you

    Thx

      Thanks for all the help!

      So what if the terms are set up like so:

      Requirements
      • $20-$25 a day
      • Web designer does not get paid for 30 days after the site has generated $20-$25
      • Must use only organic traffic


      Lets say the cost is $350 to have it done. Why would the designer do this?

        Ok, so, what if the designer, is gonna help you for 30-60 days to get about 20-30 a day ? And after he gets paid your traffic will be 0 and Adsense is gonna Ban you ?

        Here are a lot of tricks to do this, but Adsense is Smarter.
        If you wanna try something like "Easy Money" and dont want to get in with your own work, then try to find WSO here, they charge from $20 to $100 per Niche, This will be Better for you.

        Thx

          I'm not sure what everyone else is talking about. The simple answer to your question is yes, more than likely it is a scam. I am sure they are not guaranteeing the amount of money you will make - it's just a guide or a figure probably based on one site they did for themselves and worked on for ages.

          The only reason someone is going to do this is to make money. You have to wonder why they would not build the sites and keep them for themselves if they were indeed earning so much. The simple reason is because they are not earning that much. You can't guarantee how much a site is going to earn from Adsense. It is dependent on a whole range of things.

          In fact there was a WSO I remember not too long ago that offered a service like this. They guaranteed your site would earn a certain amount of money or they would give you the money back. Guess what. A number of people purchased and a week later the seller was nowhere to be seen.

          Remember what daddy taught you... if it sounds too good to be true...

        I highly doubt you will find a designer willing to go with those terms, matter of fact I would say it's a 99.999999% chance you won't. And the 1 guy in a million that would do it is doing it out of kindness, not for money because chances are he wouldn't make any.

        Why? No one knows and I mean no one knows how long it will take for a site to get $20-$25 per day from Adsense alone, heck it could take over a year easily to get there. Any web designer that is worth paying would know this as well and would not wait for an undetermined amount of time to get paid.

    That type of deal sounds possible. It just the timing that's all wrong.

    sure you can get a website for $300. easy done.

    Then you need to spend the rest of your life writing content for it to bring in the traffic. Now thats the hard bit!

    Because it's easier to make $100 a day designing websites than it is to make $100 a day from Google. No-one will be able to make you a website that you can just put up and forget about and it'll get you $100 from Adsense. To earn that money you'll have to work hard every day.

    The designers know this and prefer to work on designing sites not managing sites that have already been designed.

    It's not a scam but a choice of what work you want to be doing for the money.

    (if you think it may be a scam because you think that you can buy a site for $300 and then earn $50+ while you sit back doing nothing then you really are confused)

    with outsourcing you have to look at currency exchange rates as well and come to terms with the fact that what may seem like a huge rip off to us is still good money for workers in other countries which they would happily do since its still more money than they would be making from a normal job there. That's just one of the factors behind the price differences in outsourcing fees and the high return.

      I agree with you. For instance, $300 is almost Rs.15000 in India, and if a programmer gets only 4 clients per month, he'll make more than most of our software engineers. So, I guess it might not be a scam after all.

        Yeah good advice. Build a whole network of blogs on the free Blogger platform in order to make income based on Adsense. That sounds terrific :rolleyes:

        Dude, seriously. You really think thats gonna happen?

        The bottom line is this.

        They push these packages at $300 per site and make a whole bunch of promises about adsense earnings, but the reality is, once you've paid them their $300, theyre long gone, and youre stuck with a site thats earning $2 a month.

          I've always assumed that I just really suck at building AdSense sites, and people who know what they're doing can build better ones. Is that really what MOST of them are earning?

    Think of it like this.

    Building a brand new thing is fun.

    Doing the work to keep that thing running smoothly is not.

    So basically, you're paying someone to do the fun part, and then you're going to do the not-fun part.

    Which you do because you're going to make a lot more than $300 from it in the long run. Even if it just makes $5-$10 a day, you'll have your money back in two months. One dollar a day will make back your money in less than a year.

    And even if you don't do the not-fun part at all, you'll still likely make back your money plus a substantial profit.

    I think there's quite a lot of information missing here.

    Did the offer ACTUALLY say that you would get a website CAPABLE of making that kind of money. That's VERY different from saying that a website WILL make that money.

    You need to know about keyword research, seo to get your site to no1 in Google for your keywords, etc.


    I'd happily design you a site that COULD make that kind of money if you give me the keywords you want to use. Whether it does or not is up to you and your skills in getting the site ranked in Google for as many high paying keywords as it takes to get enough visitors to click the ads.

    If you are considering buying an Adsense site with claims of making $300 per day ... that is, unfounded claims, I suggest you think twice. They are selling a startup Adsense site. Maybe it will make money, maybe it won't, but it's highly unlikely to reach $300 per day on Adsense anytime soon and without a whole bunch more work done.

      The claims are not a scam per se, and the service provider may even provide proof of earnings, traffic stats, etc. So, in their mind they have provided enough "proof" of their claims.

      However, what has potentially "been left out" of their copy is the amount of time, effort and hard work that was required to take a brand spanking new site from $0 - $50/$100 per day.

      No-one can (or perhaps "should" is a better word) make claims of guaranteed earnings, as the earning potential of a website is completely down to you and the work you're willing to put into it.

      You can, of course, purchase a website that is already making a daily income of $50+, however, this is likely to cost tens of thousand dollars, as opposed to a measly $300.
