From 0 to $50 per day in 60 days!

If you have experience doing this already then it would be easier then for someone starting out fresh faced.
Good luck with the challenge, hope you make the $50 per day.
It'd be a really good way following on to promote a course of some kind, adding another income stream. People love to learn from people with the know how.

I would like to know what kind of software you use to design your minisites, if you use any at all? I just need a good template to use to incorporate with AdSense, got any ideas? Thanks.

So, no promotion other than the social bookmarking?

Will be interested to see the results! I love case studies like this!

Thank you for starting this thread. It will be interesting to follow and very beneficial for a lot of people.

Are you only looking for .com domains? I find great difficulty with finding exact-match domains (especially with regard to .com). Usually, I have to add something at the end (e.g. www*productnamereview*com or www*productnameusa*com etc.)

Another thing, 20 pages of content can be difficult for product sites unless you build sites that are built around broader keywords (e.g. www*digitalcameras*com). However, these sites are typically harder to compete with. The only way I can think of to get around this (and also be able to create larger sites/write more content etc.), is to build a site that is product specific (e.g. www*olympusstylus9000*com), then, to get another 15+ pages of content, use a keyword for each page that is also product-specific, but relative (e.g. olympus stylus tough 6000, olympus stylus tough, olympus stylus 550wp etc. etc.). In other words, just because your home page/domain is focused on a specific digital camera, doesn't mean that your remaining pages have to be built around that exact model - they can be different models that fall into the same category or series etc.

Anyway, is this your basic approach, or do you typically try to go for broader keywords and try to beat out the competition?

Thanks.

I wish you good luck with your project.

I can see that you are already making money, I wish I could boast with such earnings
(not that you are, but it surely higher than my zero earnings...).

Love to see stuff like this!

Could you share more about how you are creating the sites? Unique content? If so that's a lot of content for you to be creating. I hope that having this thread inspires you. Congrats on already making $1,500/month. This looks like a great way to expand!

Matt

good luck, i wanna see you succeed and hopefully we can follow after

I am doing something similar I have 24 new keyword domains. Now it time to build the sites. The hard part is designing them and figuring out to make them with amazon products or free tips with adsense or both. Most of them will have adsense. I am hoping to make $50 or more per day as well and be done building them by the end of the month. I really hope all of this hard work so far pays off. Just getting the keywords and doing the templates for 24 domains was hard enough. lol

Nice ...

Can U Share Some Tips ..

How To Drive Traffic & Content & Design & Ctr & Etc ...

So you are not planning to do some backlinks?

Interesting.

I wonder how you'll find the time to write unique articles for all your product sites. Are you considering outsourcing content writing?

It's relatively easy writing content for products. Simply write up a product description/specifications/manufacturer info. etc. by getting information from retailers such as Amazon and Wal-Mart etc. Also, look for reviews and rewrite them in your own words. Give your readers a story if you have to (real or not) about how you or someone you know owns the product and was able to do this or that with it blah blah blah. Use filler words to give it more meat and inject facts regularly so that the information is useful to the reader:

Amazon product description/specifications:

• 12 mega pixel resolution
• Focal adjustment: manual, automatic
• Focal length: 18mm - 55mm
• Auto focus points: 7

Your description/specifications:

• This particular camera produces pictures at an amazing 12 mega pixels - which equates to 12 million pixels. What that means is, greater resolution and quality.
• With both, a manual and an automatic focal adjustment, you have more control and creative room to produce the pictures the way YOU want them to be.

Additional content and filler:
My friend, Steve, owns this particular model and swears by it. He is not a professional photographer by any means, but I have to say, some of the pictures that he produces with this camera look amazing! With a focal length of 18mm to 55mm and 7 auto focus points, it's relatively easy to see why. Blah blah blah. More filler and product pros/cons/facts etc. Blah blah.

21 words quickly turn in to 122 words. Easy.

By the way, guys, Amazon and Adsense are not the only options here. Aside from the obvious CPA/Clickbank solutions etc. you can also go directly through the merchant/website and sign up through their affiliate program for selling non-virtual products. You can either work with them directly, or, if that doesn't sit well with you, you can look for a merchant that works with a large affiliate network that tracks everything. Most product websites/merchants have an affiliate program. In fact, instead of dealing with Amazon's 1-day cookie and their ridiculously low commissions, you could, instead, go through a merchant website directly and see as much as 20% commissions on all sales- with a 45-day cookie (for example). There are LOTS of websites like this, people.

I LOVE JOURNALS!

BTW, the title of this thread looks familiar but can't.. really.. point out.. where it's oh wait a minute! :p

Good thread, I'm just trying to get started and am using Wordpress with the Thesis theme. I'm getting stuck a little bit on design and how I would like the site to look like and actually figuring out how to make it look that way! Such a steep learning curve but I am trying!

^^ My sentiments exactly.

Believe it or not but even journalists, LIE.

Nobody has to lie, infact by telling it how it is and gathering information, good or bad about a product will actually give you credibility.

Theres no need to tell porkies.

I don't mean to take this off-topic, and I wish you luck in your current challenge. I couldn't help but recall that you made some posts last year in XFactors "6 month later" thread about some reasonable success you were having following his "blueprint". I just wondered what the situation was with these sites? Did you continue to follow this blueprint, did the sites get deindexed, did they dry up, do they still exist and earn to this day?

Was just curious to know :-)

bay37,

You have started a nice little frenzy on here! Nice work!

It seems like you have a good number of on-lookers. I am very interested to see how well you will succeed and whether you meet your goal or not.

You have high ambitions to create 30 sites with approx 20 pages of content for each on in under a month! You must be a content typing machine and a half!

All the best, I will be following this thread closely =)

please dont forget to keep us updated.

Good luck. Now I have just bulited a website for adsense, I believe i will do the best.

wow mate that is amazing. I hope i get approved in ad-sense soon.

by the way.. i got very good info here..

if you succed doing this.. Please let me know by PM

Good Luck. I believe you're well on your way. Your traffic keyword and exact domain requirement is on track.

Cheers!

Will check this thread from time to time. It made me motivated again.

I wonder what are the 100 social bookmarking sites that are dofollow do you use?

Nice journal Can we see what type of template you are using?

I had a friend run this exact type of plan and within about 3 months Google had dropped all of his 40 or so websites(wordpress). When I say dropped I mean removed from the index. The only way Google could have linked them all was via his adsense account, I think he moved to quickly and got hit with a low quality hammer. I also think it might have appeared automated and that wordpress is great but its a red flag from the get go for this sort of operation. He had lots of money invested, content writers, link monkeys and so on. I'm not saying this does not work but people should be aware of what can happen when the red flags go up.

do i understand you correctly,

each of your sites revolve in a specific product?

i.e.. site 1 focused on laptop bags then site 2 is all about game consoles and so on.

then you write articles for that product.

do you target keywords?

do you buy new domain for each of your sites or you have a generic domain and put all of these sites as subdomains?

@ bay37 - in theory your plan does sound brilliant, but you do need to realize and be cognizant of the big "IF"

It stands for Internet Footprints.

By launching that many sites, that fast - particularly with Adsense, you have in all probability already established at least one big IF! And that is with Google.

And believe this; the Big G is the LAST entity you want spotting "IF" Especially if your game plan is to make money with Adsense. By using your Adsense account, you made spotting your IF real easy.

Here are some other ways to leave IF that are easy to spot...

All of your sites are on the same host.
All of your sites have the same Class C IP address
All of your sites are registered at the same registrar
All of your sites have the same WHOIS data
All of your sites are inter-connected via links
All of your sites have the exact same links

It's great that you are an "AIM" an Aggressive Internet Marketer but you need to temper that aggressiveness with TIME.

TIME = Tactical Internet Marketing Experience

So what exactly counts as an Internet Footprint? 40+ sites? What if I run ten sites? Is that considered a footprint?

bay37-

Thanks for the response.

I have to agree with some of what is being said here. If you are doing adsense, and you are doing anything that may draw 'special' attention your way, you better make sure you are providing quality, content-rich sites (with more than 1 page of content etc.).

I can't believe that your sites would get de-indexed, but anything is possible, I suppose. A good thing, however, is that you are building your sites around products - so, in the terrible event that you do lose your adsense account, you can always find other ways to recoup your losses and continue profiting from those sites (which you are already doing by way of Amazon). And since you are already establishing a good foundation of websites, you could always make the transition to paid advertising - quickly and easily.

Obviously, as everyone already knows, it is always best to follow the T.O.S./policy/quality guidelines, and keep things looking 'natural'.

Best of luck to everyone.

That's one way to do it.

I enjoy building medium sized websites (big enough to not be called "thin affiliate sites", but not too big for me to lose interest in building them). Feels good to see traffic pouring in, people commenting on my articles, etc.

Also, one thing I found with my "smaller" sites - they need just as much maintenance as the big ones (in terms of holding/going up in rankings). Perhaps it's the keywords that I go for (not the lowest possible competition, I guess).

After this is all done, if I manage to get to $50/day with this batch of sites, I'll be sitting on a $60-$70k/year business working around 4-6 hours a day, which is pretty awesome for me. Most of that time is spent working on my other ecommerce site (just one), which is actually my own brand of a very popular product, so orders/shipping/support take up a few hours a day.

How far are you from 6 figures/month? That's some goal right there.

Its good advice not to be geared too heavily into adsense for sure. How about looking at your local market and pushing into the local organic results and then doing deals direct with local business?

An interesting journal! You have made a fair bit of progress since I first visited bay37! Well done!

It appears that you are putting your sites up very quickly, roughly how many hours a day are you spending on this project?

this is a great lecture, but for the sake of those that are starting out, you can share atleast how you get traffic to your site

Great journal my friend, this surely helps to keep you going isn't it ?

thanks for the layout - interesting approach. Only two outward links for monetization, the rest on-site navigation.

You have set up a nice objective. It seems you are very commited to achieving your goal. I find it interesting that you are taking on such a massive project when you are apparently already successful monetizing your other online activities. Why do you want to venture into this area that will obviously take up an enormous amount of time. Do you plan to outsource anything to help take the load off your shoulders? Good luck in your meeting and exceeding your goal.

Few questions, how are you getting indexed by google so quickly?
Are you hosting all these on a server of your own?
How many articles are on the sites before google has indexed them to do well in searches?
What are you doing to get links quickly?

Getting excited about this and best of luck to you bay37!

I have not yet experienced this kind of coding and tweaking that you're doing but it's good to learn few more concepts about starting with social bookmarking then with Wordpress plugins all set up in the process.

I bet you're going to hit your goal soon!

Hi bay37. Great job so far on your progress. I love following your progress. Would you mind letting us know how many sites you have up and running as well as how many you have monitized along with your earnings updates?

This thread has been the most motivation I have gotten in a while. Keep up the great work.

Only .com? or do you go for .net, .org or others? if i may ask

bay37 this is very insightful I appreciate the ongoing dates.. Best of luck in your reaching your goal..

Hi Bay37,

Just a question for you, just rereading your original post you say that you go for keyword phrases that have between 3000 and 9000 exact searches a month and that you don't really analyze your competition.

My question is: do you check the number of competition at all - allinurl, allintitle or even just the exact match competition numbers? Do you go for niches with little competition under a certain exact match number or do you not look at competition whatsoever for your keyword phrase?

I have enjoyed reading this thread and seeing your progress, keep up the good work you are doing well. That is very inspiring for others.

Thanks for sharing
Sheryl

Thanks bay37. Right now I would be extremely happy with $1.50/day on average for 10 sites. I guess I haven't gotten the formula right for keywords and/or domain names. Building sites is easy, choosing the right keywords, finding a good domain name, and getting traffic is where I am apparently lacking skills.

Great job - keep us posted.

Scott

Had followed you thread, but wished you could provide more details about your SB script. Or, is it something that you could share for a minimal fee?

Any reason why you are mainly monetizing with Adcents and Amazon? Those are... like... the worst ways to monetize an affiliate site. Why not put affiliate offers that are directly related to the demographic in there?

if you r realy in way earnig$50 a day then i wish u get succes in yr work,if any way i can help you then reply me

It looks like your movements towards the goal are progressing well.


I am also a developer and my website is written from scratch. I am really eager to know which automatable bookmark is giving you a good boost over the
SERPS. I tried few but I couldn't see them even in the Google index after I bookmarked.

Thank you

Anybody in this Forum was Deleted my "journal". beleave?

bay37 - thanks for this journal, nice work

I wanted to add to what Crew Chief mentioned about IF - Google Analytics would be one you'd want to add to that list - running Analytics on all your sites from one account is a quick & easy way to tell Google where you are & what you're doing.

Thanks for the updates. If all future updates are going to be on your blog it might help if you post a link to your blog here to redirect your readers.

Just a thought!

Good Luck with your challenge.

How much progress have you made with regards to your goal?

bay37. Just to let you know that your blog is not accepting comments at the moment. Says that the comment was already posted.

Wait a second, with links from social sites like stumble upon you dont get seo results, since all of the links there are nofollow, you can get referral traffic and get indexed but thats all.
