My Journey to a Full Time Online Income
This is going to outline my journey for making money online. Many people have done this in the past and are making a full time income by working when they want and where they want by using the internet and other tools that are available to them. This is my journey to $100 a day with adsense as my main method of monetization. And I have mostly followed the Xfactor method of building websites.
I have around 65 sites. Most of them have 5 pages or less and a handful of them I have had for several years and have many posts. March was my first month of earnings that exceeded $1,000 and April will be very close to the same. And while it is true, this is a numbers game, I am beginning to become overwhelmed by the number is sites that I have and I am ready to change my approach a little bit to try to increase my earnings and simplify my method.
My goal is to concentrate on 10-20 sites. I would like to have each of these sites making a minimum of $10 per day by the end of the 2010. I am looking to be making at least $100 per day by this time. Since, I really enjoy writing; I will be selecting the sites that I enjoy the most and are already performing well. I am hoping to get most of these sites built out to at least 50 pages. Since I work full time, I am going to set my goal at 150 pages per month. This is a very aggressive goal for me.
My main method of promotion will be article marketing and I will probably buy profile backlinks. I have found a service that provides 2,000 for $25. Most of my sites should be old enough to support this type of backlinking. I will also probably do some social bookmarking and some RSS feed submissions. I also use a service called Blog Blueprint. It is similar to Linkvana when it comes to building backlinks. And that is pretty much it. I will post regular updates on my progress as well as my earnings.
