I'm trying to create a few sites that make just $1 per day. So five sites would be $5 per day. Does anyone have any tips specifically for running a few low maintenance small sites that make minimum amounts of money? How hard is it to get traffic to just a single static simple content site? Just looking for advice here. Thanks!
If you are really looking for low maintenance sites, proxy sites would probably be the way to go, even though all sites eventually need marketing and maintenance...
Proxy.org will quench your curiosity on Proxies. Static site and you expect ongoing traffic? Not impossible but surely difficult. I reached $1/day after lot of experimenting on a very dynamic site, homepage changes twice a day. Some of the pages I have on the site are quite interesting to thousands of visitors and draws heck of a traffic - which in turn leads to clicks and revenue. So if you have static site but some content that makes users come back and back and back - you have good chance of making $1/day.
I can't think of anything that's interesting that makes users come back and back and back apart from "sex" sites... hahaha. But we can't place adsese on adult related sites. So, I am running out of ideas here.
Do you have any hobbies? Put yourself as the web surfer. What would you want to see, or what would make you come back to a site?
Great advice, I do that every day on my websites, ask myself "Would I want to be on this website?" and if the answer is "no" I guess i'm in the wrong business
Why not create blogs? Use some type of aggregator or just post things your stumble on every few weeks. You'll get google hits, and possibly enough to make $1 per day.
$1 a day may not seem like a lot of money, but when you could be getting as little as 5c per click and a CTR of 1-2%, a lot of traffic is needed for a new site. There is no easy way - even if you create a static site, you're going to need to do some work promoting it first! Kumiko xo
Well making a site which have people interest and also a good design would be a site which would work and would make you a nice amount of money per day. But you have to look for it as i myslef am looking for this.
Start with a single website using your favourite hobby as the theme. Then at least you will have the motivation to update it. I tried to maintain a few websites which I am not interested in and they do badly in the long run.
Yes, considerable amount of effort is required even for $1/day. As I have mentioned in other threads, optimizing a page for search engine is very important for adsense performance.
Without effort it is not possible.. Else I would make 100 sites with no maintainance and still earn $100 a day!!.. lets say per click you get paid .05 you need 20 clicks per day to make $1.. not that easy i would say!! ..:: peace ::.. Jeba
How much are you willing to invest? Photoshop tutorial sites can easily make over $1 a day if accepted by many photoshop directories, but again. You will need to maintain it and add new ones from time to time. Adsense isn't an easy game
The original post was about a static site and most of the opinions/responses suggest dynamic - blog too is dynamic
