How to achieve $3000 a moth?

Ok here is the deal
I have been dabbling in IM for just short of two years. The first year nothing, this year about $3500 profit.


My key skills seem to be SEO as all of my 4 sites got to google position 01 after a while.


Problems- focus and time. Suffer from the usual jumping from one thing to another syndrome, also got an extremely busy full time job, to the point I have just had my first holiday this year, 4 short days with the family..


Next year is going to have to be make or break, as for family reasons I need to make a great deal more than this year.


Focus I can fix, but am more interested in what everyone is doing that actually works.


Question is if you had max around, two hours a day to give to IM, had pretty good technical skills and a good knowledge of SEO, where would you concentrate your time, what is really working now.


1- Niche marketing with clickbank etc
2- CPA
3- Facebook
4- Launch Jacking
5- Mobile marketing
6- Adsense networks


Etc, etc


For various reason offline and local marketing are not suitable for me (mostly time and location)


Where does everyone suggest I should focus my time?


Also if anyone is serious about mentoring I would be willing to split the profits?

    My advice to you is, don't spend your money, save it for future investment. With $3500 you can start a real online business.

    You mentioned that you don't have too much time for internet marketing. For this reason, I would recommend you outsource more and spend your time only on the important things, like putting the sites together, keyword research, setting the sales funnels, etc.

    SEO seems to be working pretty well for you, so stick with it. I believe finding anything profitable is the hardest part, once something is working, you should stick to it and get the most out of it possible, then move to something else.

    You also mentioned a lack of focus - I used to suffer from the "jump-from-one-thing-to-another" syndrome, I now schedule everything in advance. I have a to-do list saved as a PDF, I write everyday the tasks I need to do the following day and then save the file as MM-DD-YY.pdf. The next day I just open the file and follow my schedule I set out the previous day.

    This has helped me a lot to stay focused and really do things in a more organised way.

    As for what is working right now - I presume everyone will give a different answer according to what they are doing at the moment and what is working for them. The fact is, almost every traffic generation method and way of monetization works if you are willing to put in the work and stick with it for at least a few months.

    So let me give you my biased view of "what is working at the moment" - I'm having quite some success with rebill CPA offers, I get SEO traffic and make it convert right on the sites, plus I also try to get them on my list.

    Hope this helps a tad

    You're already doing niche blogging, which has been working for you. In my experience, it's all about pushing out more content so that you can get more traffic. You already have the other components in place. You're actually pretty lucky. Instead of focusing on 4 sites, you might just want to focus on the two that are making you the most money. It actually might be a good idea to just start out with the main one first.

    You mentioned launch jacking. That is a form of niche blogging -- just with product launches. When I think of a niche blog, that's automatically where my mind goes. That'd work since the new year is coming up. Just make sure you go into a really profitable niche so you can milk it for all it's worth. I'm personally not all that into Facebook or CPA, and adsense pays too cheaply.

    Good luck,
    Joey

    Choosing one area and sticking with it would definitely help. If you are great at making sites that reach #1 on google for keywords, how about site flipping? Make great sites, get them to #1 and then sell them. That way you are constantly doing something new and you won't get bored.

      I'm finding that I am much more productive when I focus on niche marketing websites. Specifically niches that I am passionate about. Gives me the motivation I guess.

    Given your time constraints and your goals, I might recommend physical product (Amazon) affiliate sites for you.

    It's relatively step-by-step from niche selection to site development to marketing/ranking the site, but you can do those on your own timeframe and once you're making income from the sites they don't take a ton of time to maintain.

      I second that! I think Trevor's answer is really good, and really helpful: I'd be pretty pleased with that one, if I'd started the thread ...

            The moth.

            There are some rare butterflies that may be worth $3000 though.

    Maybe try website flipping. You can earn lots

    trevors to do list and website flipping are good. What is the reason you cannot do services and outsource them on fiverr. There's a lot of money to be made that way, does it have to do with not being able to get a paypal account? If thats the case I imagine you cannot do flips either. Just continue on and FOCUS. We all have this problem. Have you tried ranking video's? Its much easier to rank a video right now i would get me a good course about that if I were you.
