Just a suggestion. But the sites need some refinement. They're too plain jane. Also you might consider adding a video to the index page that engages the visitor. Just my opinion. Interesting niches though. Good luck!

Thanks

Hey dude,

I really like the design of these two pages. The grey fonts are a bit hard two read obviously, that could piss of a few visitors.

Best regards

Building too many sites are not a good idea. It is a good idea to just concentrate on one niche and explore it deeply, you will certainly find many opportunities in your one niche.

Adsense can only give you money if you have at least 1000 or more daily visitors. Its also not advisable to put ads for new domains with few articles. If you wait at least 6 months and try to fill up your blog with nice article, then adsense can give you few dollars a month but not much.

If you will focus on one niche at a time and become expert you can earn money as a consultant or providing your services with some fee OR you can write ebook to sale at discount price.

Regarding website: try to make some different backgrounds for different areas to easy recognition like header, footer, sidebar etc....Better to try wordpress and with some nice theme. You can find hundreds of free wordpress themes.

Please feel free to contact if you need any further assistance for wordpress or finding any theme.

Thanks

Thanks so much - great advice. I recently read an ebook 'How to build a niche site empire' and they seem to have done very well by building lots of average websites, whereas others make their fortune specialising in one niche. I think I'll have to give both a go and see what works best for me

Thanks again!

I'll have to disagree with this comment. I have a blog in the auto insurance niche that gets just between 100-200 visitors a day. Since the CPC values are higher in this niche, I am earning anywhere between $0.50 and $1.50 a click, with the average being just over $1.

My click thru rate is around 4%, meaning that I am getting between 4-8 clicks per day, and $4.00 to $8.00 a day in income.

That equates to $120 to $240 a month, just from this one blog. I have 5 other auto insurance blogs, and about 30 blogs in other niches in total.

So you don't need to generate 1000+ daily traffic to be successful with Adsense. You just have to focus on niches with higher CPC values so that your earning nice income per click, and also develop a portfolio of blogs in several different niches to spread your risk.

Hope this helps.

Much success,

JoeMack

Hi Wordpro, good luck with the sites, looking good. Adverts can be intergrated into Wordpress without issues and there are even some plugins that can help make the process quite painless, especially with adwords.

Being honest (sorry) those extracts on the surrogacy website are childish and poorly written.

You say you are a copy writer. Write your own content. Real content that readers actually want to read. Informative, engaging - not **** filler text.

Hi Carol,

I appreciate your comments! I agree - the content is not nearly as good as I would like it. I plan to go through it and essentially rewrite it. Just tried out iWriter as a test to see if it was possible to get decent content for a very low price (clearly I can't

). I wish I had the time to write the content myself - however I work full-time... but you're right, I really should find the time.

Thanks again

Thanks

Instead of focusing on the looks of the website, make sure that you pick the right profitable niche. There many ways to monetize your niche sites, not just adsense. Why not try to promote related products from Clickbank or Amazon?

After lots of reading I've decided the method of creating lots of niche websites is the way I'm going to try and make money online.

I've outsourced the articles on iWriter and am building on Weebly, hosting on HostGator. I've signed up for Google AdSense but waiting to be accepted.

I would love to get your thoughts on my first niche websites so far: www.surrogacynews.com and www.businessonlinedegrees.org

They are obviously not complete, but would be great to know if I'm heading in the right direction or not

Any tips are much appreciated! (I can handle bad comments

)

Thanks!!

Hi Wordpro,

I believe you have made a great and good start.

But you would need to have a strategy/plan if you would want your sites to be making money.

I would suggest to focus on one site and have more content for each month and get social media traffic if you are good at it.

Afterwhich, continue to have more content in month 2 and so forth. Oncce you have a decent traffic coming to your site, you will be able to monetise by promoting offers to your list and also placing ads on your site for another source of income.

I would advise you not to rush things here and take a step at a time so that you can test it and tweak it where necessary.

Hope it helps...

Talk soon,
Ray

Thanks

Thanks! It seems like there are a billion opportunities out there... so many different methods and ways to do things - it's quite overwhelming! I'm hoping I just fall into the right one for me

When you say product creation, do you mean things such as e-books?

Thanks! I was hoping to fill those gaps with Google Adsense... but from what I can gather I'm a long way off getting those ads

So you're right, I should put something in there for now.

How long ago did you create these sites? I noticed one of them already has a page rank. That's a start.

I agree that adsense might make enough money to eat in a nice restaurant once or twice a week, but unless you have A LOT of sites, you can't make a living at it.

HOWEVER (and this is a BIG however, because I haven't checked in a while), Adsense sites are great for site flipping. Create a few sites, get them ranked and earning a few dollars a month and flip them on Flippa.

Adsense sites seem to be especially valuable on Flippa. I think people just buy up dozens if not hundreds of these sites, then just sit back and collect the paychecks. Good plan if you have the money to invest upfront.

Just a thought. I tried it once and did fairly well, but I didn't have the patience.

I just want to point out, since no one else has, that you cannot use adsense on wordpress.com. You have to go with wordpress.org to use adsense.

This must be why you were confused at the beginning.

Thanks, that's good to know! Some people claim to make a fortune with AdSense and it's good to know the reality. I certainly might give Flippa a go though.

When I bought the domain it already had a Page Rank (I found it on expireddomains.net), so that's a good start

Let's clarify copywriting and article writing... Copywriting is sales in print, such as the sales letters you see in the IM world that make you bust out the credit card and "buy stuff now".

Writing articles is in NO way related. If you're a copywriter you can make an easy six figures writing sales copy, that's how I got my start.

You can charge a premium to write for other people (I'm talking thousands per letter) or even better create your own product and write a kick butt sales letter for yourself.

Check out the copywriting section of the forum, lots of good folks there.

Hi Don,

I do a bit of both - article writing and copywriting. My copywriting is more website copy, print brochures etc though, not so much of the heavy sales stuff.
