    Of course it is, but you need to put some work into it, sadly most sites take a few months to really start generating any income.

    It is Achievable but it require some hard works and rather than makine 40 niche sites each making $10 you can create one niches site that will make $800-$1000/day!

      Stick with first getting a $10 a day site.

      Evaluate what got you to that level. Then do two things:

      - Look to expand your original site beyond $10 per day, and

      - Duplicate across other sites to create additional $10 per day sites.

      .

        Achievable but not recommendable! Why would you do that? That is just plain handwork which takes a year or so. A well done and decent traffic site takes month or more to create taking in account the time to think, eat, sleep, work, face problems, seo and etc. That is like taking three years or more to do even if you do full time. You are going to have to fork out forty different niches that you have experience or no experience in and do research on it. That's a lot of headache and hard work. I said in my previous post that you should just go on autopilot instead of setting up so many thing like this. Just get a site, auto responder and create a quality product with a great sales page and keep introducing new products as you have ideas for new ones. Introducing one product can generate tremendous amount of cash while autopilot depending on how good and how great the offer of your product is! Think about it, making forty niche sites is not better than working offline.

          it won't take a year...and auto-content or auto-blogs are NOT recommended...way to get on the bad side of Google right away! Create quality sites with quality content.

          I recommend starting with smaller goals...

          Create one site, get it earning, then on to the next...start with 10 sites each making $300 per month (very very doable) and build from there.

          if you have 10 sites each averaging $300 a month, that's a decent income...enough for most people to quit their jobs.

          diversify, have multiple streams of income and you will succeed!

          good luck!

          PS: real entrepreneurs never use the phrase "I can't"

          real entrepreneurs say "How can I do...?"

      I agree the work involved to rank and create 4-5 sites that make higher dollars is easier then creating 40 sites that earn less.

      This is because even if they make less money you still need to go to the effort of creating keywords, domains, content, site design, monitising methods, SEO, and general upkeep.

    Yeah, it's possible if you have your systems in place. But I think it's a lot easier to hit your income goals if you have some more authoritative sites in there.

    • Profile picture of the author FredJones
      I normally go for larger authority sites but yes this is possible, lots of people take similar strategies. Don't expect success overnight and do keep alternative money making channels in mind rather than relying solely on one kind of income stream (for example, don't rely only on Adsense, choose niches that you can also sell on Amazon or earn CPA income or something). Diversifying your eggs rather than putting them all in the same basket may be important for you.

    Yes, of course it is possible. However it takes time and effort. Do some research, build a plan, and work on that. I would recommend you to use multiple income streams - don't put all eggs in one basket.

    Wish you the best of luck with your goal.

    Whether anyone else has done it before has no bearing on whether you can do it.

    If you can build one niche site that makes your $10/day goal, you can build 40. You'll probably have a few duds along the way, but keep plugging away and you can get there.

      Two completely different business models - and one isn't any better than the other, IMHO. If you're the kind of person that doesn't get bored with a long-term project then authority sites may be your answer as they take consistent updating, developing new content.

      Thin 'sniper sites' can be put up quickly with relatively little work, and could be the way to go if you like to get on something, get it done, and move on to the next project.

      Why don't you try the link in your sig? That may work too

      No. I don't believe there's any evidence that one way is better than the other.

      There are pros and cons for both and I think a mixture is probably a good long term goal.

      Why not build a few of your 'niche' sites so that they have the potential to become authority sites if they're doing well.

    It is very possible. And once achieved will bring you in a steady long term passive income. However it will take you a long time to complete if you are planning to do all the work yourself. If you are planning to outsource then it will be faster.

      Pffft.

      What's to maintain on a niche site? A post a week - maybe?

      Once they're up and running it's more like having 40 adult children. Some you can let run on their own, some require a little TLC, and one or two are high-maintenance and you would like to sell them if only you could. But they're your children, so you can't.

        I think it's still crazy to go solo on this because you are paying four hundred bucks a year, considering all the sites cost ten dollars per month which I think it's a waste and you can make much more money with less work on one site if you promote it properly and have dominated the rankings on your keyword. Though if this plan works, I think it will be three years or more before you get that kind of earning of four hundred dollars a day from 40 different sites. By the way, considering a post a week, it could take you at minimum 30 minutes I would say taking account of the thinking, brain storming, logging in and posting. If your sites are full of same thing every time that will be kinda plain boring to your audience and sometimes your earnings are not consistent that you have to update to bet more traffics. Really it's too much of focusing, one day your competitors might beat one of your sites of the ranking, the next he beats another site and on and on. So I think just focus on one site or maybe three at most.

    Hey guys, he didn’t say 40 different niches. He said run 40 niche sites. You can easily have 5-10 sites in a given niche with each one focusing on 3-5 keywords each. It goes from having to understand 40 niches down to 4-8 niches total, which is definitely doable. Also, if you are creating static sites it doesn’t take much to maintain them.

      I agree, but if someone wants "passive income" then the 40 sites plan is not a bad way to achieve that.

        40 sites to me sounds like a number plucked out of thin air.

        If you know what you are doing, you can acheive $400 a day with just a few sites.

        And yes, Im talking passive.

    That is a lot of sites to maintain by yourself. I personally wouldn't want to deal with 40 sites at $10. I'd rather have 10 sites at $40 each and accomplish the same monthly goals with less sites.

      My minimum goal for any site is $10 a day (or rather $300 a month because the products I promote normally pay out $50+).

      Rather than building more sites though I build up the ones with the most potential to $1000+ per month, and usually sell the poorer earners.

      It would be hard work looking after 40 sites, or even keeping track of employees looking after all those sites. I'd much prefer to keep 10 sites making $1000+ per month than 40 making just $300 per month.

    Well, I am running 21 blogs all about the same niche. I have 600 blogs posts spread out on those 21 blogs and wrote every one of them myself. Of course, I wrote a wagon load of content for backlinks between actual blog posts.

    I started writing with an intense focus in January of 2010.

    I didn't look or to the side. I would not have cared if an atom bomb was on the way.

    It took me six months and four days in 2011 to earn every penny it took me all 12 months of 2010 to earn.

    It can be done. I did it. You can do it by yourself if you do not do anything else.

      How much do you intend to spend and are you going to do this all alone?

      If you want to create quality content on each of these sites, then you'll definitely need to spend more time.

      If you are new to this I'd suggest you create one first to pick up the skills and knowledge, and once things have taken off, you can work on creating the rest!

    Yes you can do this - however you will normally find that as you go through creating your sites a few of them take off and then you should work on expanding THOSE sites for quicker results.

    I agree that it important to keep a close eye on the sites that earn the most. I recently took a sounding on my best earner out of the 21 and discovered that over an 81 day period I earned $13.69 each day from that one blog.

    During that 81 days I had not posted even one new blog post to that particular blog.

    Since my fixed cost for that one blog is 6.5 cents per day, I decided to take some of the profit and plow it into backlinking content.

      It can be achieved but you will be needed to put lots of effort. It would be better if you use multiple earning methods rather than Adsense only. For example, link sale, Paid post or affiliate links etc can help you to achieve you goal. You can earn $10 daily If you are getting 20-50K monthly traffic and your blogs are based on finance, real estate or these kinds of paying niche.

        Yup, it is definitely possible.

        Just work on the couple site you have now and get them to your $10 goal before adding more. This way you'll have a plan of action for any additional sites you add. Trying to do too many sites at once will spread you too thin and burn you out. Been there, done that.

        Good luck.

        Ummm.... If you're getting 20-50K unique visitors a month in finance you're probably earning over $400 - $2,000 a day no matter how you choose to monetize if, but there are MUCH easier niches to make money in.

        OP. I know a guy with over 1,800 websites all in the same niche spread out over hundreds of IP ranges. I think he has five or six guys who work for him building everything out, but it is a viable business model.

    Thanks for all the feedbacks. I already have 2 sites making $10 this month. Will work on them and move them to the $10 a day category.

    Just to clear things up, I won't be the one managing all 40 sites alone. Over time, I probably will have a VA or two to oversee the sites.

    At the moment, I get article writers to write my articles (about 1 article a fortnight per blog). I also use BMR to generate my backlinks

    I do have a plan in place, but I realize I lack a good coach who can really help me cut the learning curve short. There are still a couple of things I need to iron out, especially the keyword research area. I know it's exceptionally important.

    Of course you can. Most of the ones you build won't get there quickly, just sell them to fund the creation of more. Just go one site at a time, figure out what works an what doesn't, then create and outline a system for yourself that goes step by step. For each step, create a video of how you did it. now hire someone to do it for you, spending no more than 50% of income.

      Not necessarily. And then there's the diversification factor. Lose one site out of 40, and you still make $390 a day; lose one site out of one, and you're down to zero a day.

        What you suggest is totally doable and maintainable. I have nearly 100 site, I ahve no VA or assistants, I also create products, run a helpdesk etc etc.

Though if this plan works, I think it will be three years or more before you get that kind of earning of four hundred dollars a day from 40 different sites. By the way, considering a post a week, it could take you at minimum 30 minutes I would say taking account of the thinking, brain storming, logging in and posting. If your sites are full of same thing every time that will be kinda plain boring to your audience and sometimes your earnings are not consistent that you have to update to bet more traffics. Really it's too much of focusing, one day your competitors might beat one of your sites of the ranking, the next he beats another site and on and on. So I think just focus on one site or maybe three at most.
        I have no idear you get the $10 a month from. Domain $$8 a year. Reseller hosting about $0.50 a blog.

        .....promotion 1 or two websites to $400 a day take just as much work as promoting $40 to get $10 a day. Actually if you manage to pick duff subjects/keywords and aren't that good at backkinking it could actually be an impossible task to make one site Earn $400 a day.
        Although it may be abetter plan to build say 5 sites first and make sure you can start to drive them towards the $10 a day before you dive in and create 40 sites. Make sure yo have mastered the skills needed.

        40 duff sites will also be a waste of time.

        But it is an easy business model that requires little outlay and a only a reasonable amount of skill. In practice if you achieve even half that you will already be looking at more exiting/risky/potentially profitable alternatives.

        Since my fixed cost for that one blog is 6.5 cents per day, I decided to take some of the profit and plow it into backlinking content.
        Absolutly right.. 80/20 rule probably applies here. But focus and expand you performing site, sell of you non performers and buy some new domains.

        Correct again, At some point you need to move from doing it yourself to outsourcing. Outsourcing is something I really need to do now to start to reduce the time I spend working

      That would be better, in fact why not 1000$ a day or more, if it is that great. Include a forum in your niche and get membership for your site with great offers. I dont want to be zigzagging around from site to site doing work, I think quality of work will decrease by doing so and sure eats time trying to dominate every single one of them. I am not being pessimistic but I am just trying to find a better yet faster method. It's like laboring yourself to many task when you can just do it with less labour and more focus on one task to be more dominant on your niche in search engine while maintaining good, original and high quality.

    Totally doable. It's a decent business model. I don't do it, but I see no reason it can't be done. I would, however, build them in batches ... say 5 at a time and once all 5 are earning $10/day, move on to the next batch. You'll probably learn a few things with each successive batch.

    If you have a site that takes off, maybe throw some more at it for higher earnings.

    Once all 40 are built, treat it like a file system - each day work on 2 sites. In a month you'll work on some twice and all at least once for maintenance.

    Once you get anywhere near $400/day, you can easily hire people to manage them so you can build up a winner into a bigger earner.

    It will be a boatload of work at first, some will be duds, but it's doable. Monitor results and do what works.

    Diversify for sure - CPA, affiliate links, build a list on each site with pre-loaded email messages, and some Adsense for good measure.

    Your biggest amount of work will be content and backlinks so work on an efficient system for generating content and backlinks. I narrowed 90% of my backlinking to 2 methods which results in decent diversity and it's fast.

    Good luck!

      40 sites at 10.00 per day. I say that your sight is not big enough.

      When I first started achieving success, it was with micro sites. I would average around 1-2 new ones per week. The best thing I ever did though, was to reinvest some of the profits. 1 site making 10.00 per day will give you 300.00 a month. This amount is enough to hire someone to work for you 40 hours a week.

      So, start your site. Develop your process on how you are researching, building, and pushing your site to #1. I am assuming that you will be relying on google or other search engines for traffic. Figure that it will take you around 3 months of consistent hard effort before you start to make serious money from it. In three months, you can develop 6-20 sites. Once you start making money, start outsourcing. Outsource different steps to differnet people. Your goal is to develop a business that will continue to churn out these little sites with no effort on your part. Your outsourced workers will be following your exact blueprint, and all you have to do is sit back and monitor. Well I guess you have to count your money. And you will now have some free time to figure out ways to really make a killing in marketing. 10.00 a day websites are great, but they are only a beginning.

      This is actually a horrible idea. Focusing purely on one website is putting all your eggs in one basket. Just recently I focused on one website for 3 months very heavily (2 year old site). It was climbing rankings and started to make $1000+ per month then one day all rankings drop 2 to 4 pages and it's been one month now slowly recovering but pretty much making nothing now because it's lost it's high page 1 rankings for whatever reason.

      I have been focusing on many sites though that are also rising in rank now but if that was my only one I would be screwed even more. 40 sites may be too many but focusing on at least 3 to 5 main ones is would I would recommend to manage risk of potential ranking disasters that most webmasters face these days.

The problem with a lot of sites is that you have way too much to keep up with. I only hang onto mine as many are several years old and I have plans for each one that I don't want to stop now. In fact I had many more domains a few years ago and most of them made great money but slowly google had got smarter and now the sites need to be well thought out and a lot of work put in to make them profitable. Start with 2 or 3 sites, make them great and then move on and add another but don't jump in and try to do too much at once.

      I'm envious of all you guys who have dozens of sites in your arsenals. I have only 3 sites and they're making only a few pennies per day courtesy of Adsense. Every time I start working a new site, some distraction comes up and makes me stop working on it, especially that I have freelance web design and writing jobs. I really need to get rid of all these distractions and manage my time properly, as well as stop procrastinating.

      My goal is to have 50 sites and earn $100 per day. I don't have money for outsourcing so I have to work on them myself. I know how to set up WordPress sites and I can write content well. The only part where I have difficulty is backlinking and SEO. I don't have backlinking software such as SENuke or Scrapebox so I'll have to outsource this part.

      If anyone is interested in working with me, PM me and we can help each other achieve our goals.

    It is possible. In fact, you can even have a profit bigger than $10 per day for 40 niches. If you are planning to have an online business with the target of 40 niches or more. This is possible. As long as you have the line up of clients, and you have a trustworthy SEO Reseller Provider. These are all possible..

    As an internet marketer, I've learned a lot things on growing a business. "Let the money work for you" of course if you don't have enough funds to run a company, outsource it.

    That's totally possible and way more, especially with the holidays coming. There are tons of products to promote and plenty of opportunities for good money to be made.

    I know you can do it because I've done it. Here's the thing about the expectations game, though - you might end up averaging $10/site over 40 sites, but in reality you'll likely have 10 sites doing a lot more than that, 10 sites doing very little or nothing, and 20 sites doing the average or thereabouts.

    The smart play is to cut your losses on the duds, give the "OK" performers a bit of your time, and really focus hard on the top performers. The old 80/20 rule. One person can manage this... don't let anyone tell you it's not possible.

    But it'll be so much easier to reinvest some early profits into outsourcing at least some of the more time consuming work that you don't like doing yourself. The key is knowing you've developed a system that pays. Then you can actually crunch numbers and determine what you can afford to spend on outsourcing and still increase your profits overall.

    Treat this like a business, in other words, not a hobby. As with most things in IM, that's ultimately what separates the winners from the wannabes.

      Treat this like a business, in other words, not a hobby. As with most things in IM, that's ultimately what separates the winners from the wannabes.

      You hit the nail. No one knows what sites would work and what not, as no one can exactly predict how the competition would be. So start with a lot, and then pick best performing ones and make them big sites, seems a perfectly logical approach to me!

    Well if you can make one site that earns 10$/day then you probably won't have a problem making 39 more. Expect that it takes time.

    Dude forget that. You could as well just become an expert in 1 niche with hungry buyers, instead of researching 40 niches. Honestly, it's just a lot easier that way.
    Read some books, do some research, interview experts on ONE topic. Create a product out of all the info you've got. Put up a GREAT salespage, put it online, drive some traffic, and make money.

    That's a lot easier than making 40 sites. You'll pay 500-700 bucks just to register the domains (haha). Then you also have to do SEO and all that crap.

    So create your own products, put them online (clickbank etc..), get some affiliates (They will come by their own if you have a great product and sales page), and make money.

    That's it.
    Hope that helps

    This is completely achievable and pretty easy too - I am doing it now building 3 sites per week.

    Costs are $35-$50 per site.

    Something I really want you to take in and understand:

    You dont need to spend on tools/software EVER you just need to follow these steps - Seriously and you do need some cash to get this going.

    First things to do:

    Setup a Gmail account (unless you have one)

    I use Google DOCS to plan out my daily routine

    Open a Namecheap account (they are by far the BEST domain service out there) hands down beats GogDaddy for easy of use and interface not too mention not over selling CRAP to you. (and the frustration that goes with GoDaddy)

    Hostgator account or even Namecheaps Cpanel Hosting as it keeps things so simple for the Exit Plan. If you are not sure about Exit Plans I will probably talk about mine later in another post.

    Textbroker account for Articles

    Fiverr account for your backlinks

    1. go to ebay pulse or amazon pick any niche in top 10

    2. go to Google suggestion tool and put in your niche keyword

    3. choose any KEYWORD which shows LOW Competition dont worry or look at anything else
    (its just a numbers game)

    4. go to Namecheap and register an Exact Match Domain (again do not get hung up on .com any will do and I MEAN that!)

    5. set-up the add-on domain on Hostgator or if you have bought the Namecheap set your domain on that DNS etc.

    6. Time for Fantastico 5 min install of Wordpress

    7. Go and buy the CTR theme for Adsense sites

    8. Upload this theme to Wordpress and configure

    9. The only plugins you need now is / Aceti Dynamic SEO / Contact form Plugin / Google Privacy Policy / I also use ManageWP but you dont need right now.

    10. Make sue to set your permalinks

    11. Go to Textbroker and order 1 x 500 word Article on the keyword / domain you have chosen

    12. Upload your Article and also set your TAGS which are keywords related to your niche and set the SEO plugin which will be just below the Post area.

    13. NOw you have all the boring stuff done it time to buy some backlinks

    14. go to fiverr and order a link wheel any will do wait 3 days then order some Forum profiles and blog comments wait about 3-5 days and order any EDU links or another link wheel

    15. Move to doing the same over and over again

    16. Wait for Google to say I love your site and puts it on Page 1 - I usually hit around 7 or 8th spot

    17. Add your Adsense code and start earning $$$

    Thats My Adsense way / You don't need any course or WSO - follow what I have just laid out and stop buying products on here. It's the easiest way to have a Passive Income and a nice lifestyle.

      And may I add my 2 cents worth or should I say 2 dollars worth... that if your good with cPanel you can get cheap hosting @ Dollar2Host for 2 buck a month. I have my wife business on it and its a sweet deal.

        Does using this type of hosting affect Google rankings at all? I've read some report that says cheap dollar hosts and offshore hosts rank worse than HostGator. Any experts here that can confirm or deny this?

      I like your thinking. Instead of 1 site making $400 dollars, I'll break it down into 40 sites: $10 dollars per day is easy.

      I don't think it works like that.

      Personally, I'd go for 1 site.

      Who wants to worry about 40 sites, 40 lists, 40x the research, etc...

    hey fated82, 40 sites is a lot to manage. but if you have it on auto pilot with lots of the good wordpress plugins for content aggregation and seo/linkbuilding then i suppose it is. i'd rather work on 10/15 sites and get a good mix going and go for higher earnings, if you do go for it come back and let us know, even do a wso and give away the secrets :-)

    What is it with all these "is it possible" threads? The answer is always yes. You should question your strategy, not whether or not it is possible.

    I'd rather have 4 sites making $100 per day, less hassle of handling loads of sites and it means you don't spread yourself thinly. Unless you spend a few weeks on each site, making sure it is properly set up etc.

    It's strange to see people advice to do only bigger site that would make loads of money a day instead of more small ones making average amounts...

    Managing big site is tough:

    Moderate comments
    Write articles often (while in niche sites you can get 3-5 articles and rank for a while...)
    If you add a forum... well good luck getting people to post there first and then when they are posting you will spend tons of time answering same questions over and over again, deleting spam etc.
    Also, your income depends on one site, not many. Bit riskier.
    Selling a bigger site might be not as profitable as selling average one. What I mean is that if you have a site that does 100 bucks a month you can sell it for 1500-2000 bucks. 20x ROI. Sell bigger one doing thousands and your ROI goes down to 3-10x monthly earnings. (This is a strange paradox.. that's why I'd say it's better to flip small sites once they are in top 3 and have achieved their full potential).
    Advertising.. you could be better off selling ads directly to some companies than with AdSense... that's another layer of management and contacts to get/maintain.

    Still, if you got a chance to build up one of small sites into big one, why not, do it. You can do interesting things when you have a brand. So far I'm building smaller sites but if chance comes up I would use it.

    P.S. Add in-text ads such as Infolinks to complement AdSense too, can be nice source of additional income!

    Obvious answer is yes.

    The key is time management, and with that, comes outsourcing. Your time is too valuable and there are so many others who can do the job 10X faster than yourself. Just project manage and you'll get there.

      I can only imagine it would be a logistical nightmare, just one algorithm change away from becoming a trainwreck.

      I cant understand why anyone would want 40 sites making $10 a day anyway.

      Wouldn't it make much more sense, as well as being much easier to manage, to simply have 1 site making $400 a day?

          You pick up a cook book. You read it. You apply the instructions.

              Jokes aside, this is unfortunately a question that isnt easy to answer. Im sure if you spend enough time here on the forum, and perform adequate research, you'll find what you're looking for.

        In an algo update you might lose 1 or 2 sites, even if you lost 10 that is still $300/day. But if you have ONLY one site making the $400/day and it gets hit, then you just lost your entire income.

        And you can't say that larger sites don't get hit, because they do. I would rather have a bunch of sites that require little to no work to maintain that make me about $10/day ea that ONE larger site that does the same thing.

        (What I mean by little to no work is by targeting low competition niches that are easy to rank that have enough buyers in them to make some decent money. The only thing you would need to maintain is by adding some content every once in awhile to keep it fresh, and pushing some backlinks to it every so often too.)

        You will of course have the duds like some people have mentioned, you just sell those off and let someone else build them up, while you sit and work on the performers to increase the income from them.

          You make a good point Jeff, but my point was to build sites that bring in decent income, ie $4/500+ a day.

          Not crappy websites stuffed full of ads that make $5 a day.

            hahahaha..no prob.

            There are many different website models that people can go with. Each makes different levels of income.

            I myself prefer the mini-niche sites. However, my sites are the furthest away from being considered spam. or mini for that matter. Once their income starts to level off I have them around the 40 - 50 post mark ea.

            And like you I don't believe in filling up a site with ads; and with the latest algo update it is just a stupid thing to do.

                  If it works for you, and you can manage it, then I guess thats a good thing. Myself personally, couldn't think of anything worse than having hundreds of sites scattered all over the place making a few dollars a day each.

                  Its just not something, I personally, would find a) appealing b) manageable.

                  My current goal at this point, is to have 10 sites selling high end info products at $500 each and work towards an average of 6 sales a day across the board.

                  Thats todays goal, tomorrow it might be ice cream and cake.

                  Which ever way it goes, Im learning something and staying out of trouble

                    I like ice cream and cake!!

                    If my sites don't give me $10/day after 90 days I sell them off. In the end though, $10/day/site is a bare MINIMUM for me. It is just a nice round number to shoot for.

                    I would love to have EACH of my sites eventually making me $100/day. But ya gotta start some where right?

                    Wow!! That is some info product for $500. But that is a great goal to have. Set some goals; start at 1 sale a day, and then just rinse and repeat that method until you reach your goal. As long as you have a proper plan in place there is no way to fail to be honest.

                    That basically goes with any VIABLE business model. If you have a good plan and you stick with it and be consistent, you will see success.

        Probably the most sensible thing I've read in the thread.

    Yes, its a reasonable goal. Can be achieved if done right.

    It is workable provided you have a good system to keep track of it. It has no point of creating 40 websites and just let it be in the search engine like some of the gurus advised.
    You will earn nothing if you sit and wait. There are still works behind your website. How sure are you that your websites content surely work ? Do you have good keyword to help in the search ? Do you have quality backlink to your 40 sites ? I would suggest to do it one by one or to find a website that have multiple income streams.

    The 80/20 rule percolates through IM. If you have 40 sites, the chances are a few will make most of your money. At any one time, I have 500 to 1500 websites and I know this to be true. The idea is to concentrate on the few and leave the rest alone.

    Out of 10 websites I build only 2 are really worth keeping even if the numbers look good (dont know about other peoples results). It might take a while to build up that many websites and might cost a little money - but yes its doable.

    You can earn $10k-$15K/month from 1 website.
    The concept of throwing all your eggs into 1 basket does come to mind.

    The concept of a $10/day army of sites is that they don't need to be constantly attended day in and day out. They are created with easy keyword ranking in mind. And in this sense they will need very little attention. The only time you might want to attend to these types of sites is to make them grow beyond the $10/day range.

    Remember, there are plenty of website business models out there. And everyone is making money off of them. It all goes with your tastes.

    So saying that it is a foolish goal is kind of ignorant. Maybe his personality fits perfectly with this type of business model. There are TONS of people right on this forum that use that business model as their bread and butter.

    And then there are tons of people on this forum that build just 1 site and make a killing off of it too.

    I for one couldn't build just one ( remember those Lays commercials? "Bet you can't have just one." ). For starters I would be a bit paranoid that something might happen to it and I would lose my income. Maybe that is just me? Even though I am sure there are plenty of people who have that same mentality.

    Each business model has its ups and downs, even the one you mentioned.

    It is possible. I myself am doing it. I already owned the domains though. My Goal was 1000 mini sites x $10/month = $10,000/month. first tranche am developing 500 and see how it goes. will have 200 by the end of the month up and running. Will give an update in the thread i had started. I owned the domains, unlimited hosting account in place and budgeted $5k for development and had a prudent goal of $10 per domain per month to begin with. I owned the domain names and worked backwards.

    you can research get names which have atleast 1000 exact match on google/month which are high cpc and develop. Good Luck It is possible. (just do it

      Totally wrong... It's not easier... try both business models then judge.

      It's nothing hard to upload an article every month and buy a link package every 3-4 months. Maybe even less frequently... You can hire VA too for that..

      And btw, some small niche sites can earn 2k or more too so going after many small sites model doesn't mean you won't have big winners!

    This is certainly a valid method. But I'd work on 1 or 2 sites, then move onto the next ones. Don't try and start up 40 sites at the same time all on your own, because you'll end up having 40 rubbish websites.

    But if you give each site the attention and work it needs before moving onto the next, then you will have a lot of high quality sites.

    The problem with building lots of sites, is that people think you can just churn out rubbish sites and they'll make considerable amounts of money. You need to give each site care and attention.

    It's more easy to work on a big single business, than maintaining 40 niche sites, that are required a lot of content

    Right now i page has web hosting for unlimited domains at $3.50 per month, and each domain name is approx $10 per year. I know you can get cheap .info domain names. However, .info is seen by search engines as spam. I once got a .com domain name and for 99 cents extra I got the .info and it was a waste of time and money. Google never did rank the .info and it got very little traffic - near zero. OK as they say - your mileage may vary.

    That is definitely an achievable goal. Lot's of people have business models like that. You could even keep going after 40 and keep making more and more sites!
