Question about XFactor's Adsense Course

I love to read xfactor's thread. I think to successful in internet, we should working hard and never give up with any conditions.

As John points out being successful requires effort and persistance with some failure as a natural part of the process. That's exactly how business was for me also, it can be a bumpy road but very rewarding in the end.

Making internet $$$ is not that hard if your keen to learn, whether it's adsense, affiliate marketing or selling your own product. And it doesn't get much easier than John's approach. But you have to be a "doer" and "do it" ... as I said John method is quite easy but the work load required is the hard part and unfortunately this is not what most people want, 95% want easy money with little input and even if they start they soon give up.

Lets say you would like $1000.00 a week (very achievable) ... $4000.00 a month, and your adsense sites are averageing $30.00 a month (very achievable over time) ... you would need around 133 sites. Building and promoting 133 sites is probably as hard, maybe harder for some than most 9-5 jobs.

And this is exactly why 95% of those looking for the online $$$ will never find them because they believe the hype and think it's easy money. Internet money is viewed by most in the same light as Amway was, it's their new Amway, because they don't need much money to get started and they have heard all the stories, they think it's their path to a fortune (rarely true). Think about it, although there were vast numbers worldwide involved with Amway, most people have never met anyone that made any decent money from it.

The Internet does offer a real opportunity for the small percentage of "doers" that will put in a consistant work effort, but if your looking for easy money, IMO you will not find it on the internet, not in the first 12 months anyway. Once your sites are established and you are happy with your income level, then maintaining the traffic will require an ongoing effort. It requires the same effort as running any business, if you can't see yourself doing and enjoying that role on a daily basis then maybe the internet as an income is not for you.

For those that are not put of by some serious work, John's method is a good place to start and get the money flowing, it will also set you up for affiliate opportunities down the track if that part of the internet appeals to you.

10 years, probably i should show this thread to my gf.

she is kinda "complaining" the rate i am earning at adsense.

Just to clarify the word I used was "character" and I too was asking why it was said. "whatever"

And everyone wants me to start a forum.... :rolleyes:

Is that your actual site? The reason I ask is you say it's a real example and I tried typing it in and didn't see anything that looked like it would be your page on page 1 of Google.

Be sure to sign out of Google before you check to see what page your site is on. I didn't realize you had to do that for the longest time and wondered why my site was sitting on page 1, position 1 with no traffic. Turned out it was on page 4 or 5.

For these sites, I don't go after "reviews" keywords. I aim for actual product keywords as in your shaver example. I want people who are in the buying phase to find my site - not those who are trying to figure out which widget they need.

If someone is looking for reviews and comes to one of my sites, they will hit "back" since I'm not giving them a review. If they're looking for a specific product, the big ad block could be mistaken for a link for those products on my site.

At least that's how I suspect it works.
