Is this the best way to turn 1,000 dollars into a steady income?

I have 1,000 dollars to invest into IM but i'm looking for a really quick return. I need to build a steady income stream within the next two months.

I was thinking i could start around 10 sites now. I post on several forums and have a lot of knowledge on a variety of subjects. Instead of posting on forums i'll spend all my free time writing quality articles for these different sites. I'll write + work on perfecting the site for about a month while trying to keep spending to a minimum.

Once i have the site ready to go i'll monetize it with CPA, amazon/ebay aff, and adsense. I'll put the 1,000 dollars into ppc ads. 100 dollars per site. I'll also promote on social media and go around to all the forums/question sites and post quality info while linking to my sites.

Do you think i will see a good return on my investment with relative speed? If i invest money into ppc instead of waiting for the site to rank will i see how profitable my site is right away?


And btw i don't really plan on building affiliate sites. I don't want to seem like i'm selling anything. The content on my sites will just be free quality information. I'll do reviews of good offers/link to good deals but its not gonna be all about pushing a product or making a sale. The free information on the site is what i really want people to come back for. Do you think that giving out free info like that will hurt my profits? Maybe i should try to build sites just around selling?

I would really appreciate any input/suggestions/criticism.

    If you have knowledge on certain subjects then I would create some cheap reports ($7) sell them, build a lust of buyers and sell them more stuff.

      I would say yes, do this. It is a nice little way to get some fast cash into your pocket and have people buying your stuff. You don't literally have to solely rely on Adsense and other forms of ad revenue. Make a consistent $100 everyday or every few weeks.

    you could also just do flat out CPA marketing. It's a fast return, and cheap to get into depending which traffic source you use.

    Join a traffic network like 50onred or Leadimpact, traffic vance etc so you can get some good quality.. But make sure you are well versed in your tracking techniques and be willing to section off some of that money to test your offers. Once you find the few offers that convert, you could bank a lot sooner than you might expect since leads pay well.

    I'm not sure how $100 per site will work for you, that might just be your testing number to see what ad copies are converting and sending you the right visitors. PPV is a quick way to get traffic and optimize at the same time.

    Just my $.02

    Or you could start one and put ten times the effort into it.

    Focus on one thing and hammer the hell out of it.

    Are you serious? Those are some of the worst quality "traffic."

    Driving PPC to CPA offers is not a game for beginners.

      Those aren't the only ones, but they are highly recommended PPV networks (not PPC)

      so yes I'm serious.

      I like peerfly, they respond to support fast, and they have some very good offers.

      You can also check out this blog here, it goes over even more traffic sources that work really well
      with their offers, along with case studies.

    Investing on paid traffic, knowing nothing about it can make you lose the entire sum. The initial deposits at 50onred is $500 and LI $1000

    I would do a research to find HIGH ticket items and then sell them with your $1000 for PPC.

    If you do things right, I would think you can make in return a few GRAND.

    You said:

    and then said
    steady income stream
    Really quick to me is a week. Which means you need instant traffic AKA pay for it.
    So your option would be the general create an offer and drive traffic via paid methods.

    Over 2 months is enough time to create a product and sell it, set up a landing page, collect opt ins, drive traffic to the opt in page. How you drive traffic? Facebook ads is a method I recommend but could also use forum marketing or a more relevant method to your niche.

    I heard that you want to create 10 sites. my advice start small begin with your hobby and create a website you know more about it and its content then do SEO and spend some money on it . when it is working then decide an other one.
    one by one . when you say i want to creat 10 sites, you will create nothing.

    Think about it this way.

    Product and Market.

    Your market determines your product and your product determines your business.

    Useful and Unique.

    1. Consumers should need it.

    2. Consumers should not get it elsewhere.

    I would start with the question - "What market I want to serve?"

    Then, "what bothers the market the MOST?" (Remember, your market goes for the product that provides highest utility.)

    Then, "how do I present something that increases the cost-benefit margin for the user?" (This relates to the uniqueness of your product.)

    So, think of the industry you want to be involved in, what the market needs, which needs you are going to solve and how you are solve those needs.

    This will help you create the business idea and thus, your first business model.

    Mastering CPA/CPL is definitely worth it. However I don't know what you consider to be a "really quick return". Realistically it will require some time before you start seeing profits, but if you are determined to make it you can convert your $1k into 5 numbers profits later.
