I love this item! you're right, there is definitely no such thing as an over saturated market. People, telling you that don't have their own stuff in order and are afraid of losing position, revenue and profits. Entering a saturated market is hard, because of the competition - but keep one thing in mind.. if other people can make money in it; SO CAN YOU !
I used to think the same way also, but the shotgun approach is not easy at all and it is extremely hard. I tried it. There's a reason why you haven't heard anyone actually accomplish this. Theoretically, yes it can be done. If you create one site that makes 1 dollar a day, you follow that blue print and duplicate that method 100 times. But the catch here is each niche and keyword is different along with having to deal with other competing sites and Google's moody algorithm. So it comes down to this: If you don't put enough time into each site, then nothing much will come out of it, not even a dollar...and it won't matter how much you outsource the work. Yes it's possible to do this, but it will require years and years of work and patience and unwavering determination. And even then, there's no guarantee you will have 100 sites making 100 dollars. With so much effort and sacrifice, you'll be better off just getting a regular job or a second job than using this method.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Doing some replies below: Right, of course. That's what I mean. You have to find your own niche within the market or dominate the new ones as they arise. "Ringtones" is a market that can still be tapped into, despite what 99% of people will tell you. That doesn't mean every newbie should jump into adwords and try to bank off them (because chances are they won't). Just an example. 1. The shortcomings are that it's hard and most people aren't willing to invest the time, money, or extreme effort. Regarding adsense publishers getting banned, that could have to do with any number of reasons - MFA, fraud, etc. Adsense certainly does *not* limit the number of sites you can put ads on (it would be stupid if they did, right?). 2. I make enough to where I don't talk about it. My approach is a little of everything. It's possible I'd do better if I focused on one idea/project/strategy, but I believe diversification is important and it keeps things interesting. But what if you could direct targeted traffic to one in a way that nobody else has? It happens all the time. Who said anything about blogger or free sites? Who said anything about buying a ton of .info's? Nobody would be so brainless as to go out and buy all the domains in one sitting. This is a project that develops over time. Hosting costs - a lot of accounts? Are you serious? Constant (updating) content isn't always necessary when one is aiming at the lower end of the profit spectrum. I have sites with static content that I haven't touched in months that receive traffic/generate revenue (albeit low). 1 site / week = 52 sites (52 weeks in a year). Wow, looks like slightly less than two years later one could have 100. Look, like I said, the whole 100 sites at $1 day is a concept that has been around for a long time. I didn't just come up with it. Chances are that anyone who attempts a project like that will find something better along the way. Meaning that over the course of time in which one attempts to create many sites they will learn quite a bit *and* be making money in the process. No, it's not as easy as some would say, you're right. People need to stop looking for "easy" and get realistic. NOTHING worthwhile in business will EVER be easy. There is no get rich quick, there is nobody that's going to hold your hand. Seriously? Ok guys, how about I email you all my campaign details, tell you my business secrets, wire you all my money, and hold your hand while I teach you exactly what I do. Here's a little secret: the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" doesn't exist. Anyone trying to sell you something to get you there is ripping you off. QED. My aim wasn't to write a detailed guide, I thought that was pretty obvious. I would, however, love to have a discussion about the ideas I posted and any other ideas people would like to bring to the table. For me, there's actually nothing harder than having a job. I simply cannot work for other people. I understand that it's works out for most people, which is fine. However I also think that there are a lot of people out there like me who still have jobs and hate every second of it. My advice to those people: keep working towards getting yourself free and independent. You'll get there.
I agree with you. That's why this is just a proof-of-concept. It's a good way to get the creative juices flowing. Do I have 100 sites each making $1/day? No, I don't. I do, however, have a handful of sites that I literally don't touch that get traffic and revenue. Just got me thinking lately about this concept and that it's quite possible to have a large number of relatively "autopilot" sites. I appreciate all the feedback on this concept, but it's getting a little hashed out. If anyone has anything new to present, I'd love to hear it. Hmmm. Wow, tough question. I can't really say that I even have a favorite. As for success levels: 1. Freelancing: Yes, I enjoy this kind of work and it's great for some extra cash. 2. PPC: I'm not as good as I'd like to be, but I'm above a novice level and "getting there." Doing good. 3. Shotgun Approach: Getting sick of discussing this. Read above. 4. Classifieds: Yup, I do pretty well with these when I feel like it. 5. Super Aff: I have a couple of earners below me, which is nice. Doesn't really do anything crazy significant though.
OK let me brief you on the topic of this thread : " Five REAL ways to make $100 or more per day." Well as the title states it's 100 sites at $1 per day will make $100 ? Right ? well how are you going to get all these free sites with free domains, as you didn't take any costs into the equation .... so it would mean all sites would need to be free and so would the URLs .... so that is where the "Free Sites or Blogger" comes into it .... And yes hosting costs, if you are in need of hosting the 100 plus sites, where exactly are you going to get a large host from to manage all these sites ? To make a dollar a day per site you will need a lot of visitors and this equals bandwidth and your daily run of the mill host doesn't come cheap and doesn't allow a lot of bandwidth ....
Yes 100 sites at $1 a piece is a bit of work but if you can make 100 sites you got some motivation. So why not increase it to $3-4 per site at 100 sites
I am building a lot of small sites within one site as subdomains which a lot of people do not like but for the marketing angle I am using and the types of sites I am building I think its fine for me.. Id like to build up some $10 a day sites.. Also I use yahoo hosting and I think I have either a lot of bandwith or maybe even unlimited.. I know its more than I have ever been able to use..
as the OP said, you build up gradually to 100+ sites. and of course we'd all rather have 10 sites doing $10 a day. also, to repeat the OP again, no one would go register 100 domains on day 1. you start off with a $5 or $10 monthly hosting plan with say hostgator, register 1 domain and you're off and running. design a site in any niche, add content and link trades and move on to the next site. as i currently have 2 dedicated servers running my sites, i can say you are VASTLY overstating the server cost and bandwidth requirements for almost all sites out there. i have over 100 sites running and 95%+ are completely hands free with zero maintenance. many make over $1 a day. one does $30+ a day. its taken a couple of years to get to this point with a combination of building the sites myself to buying established sites.
OK it seems that you guys are not getting my point, A) Shotgun 100 sites = to me doesn't mean gradual, other wise it would be called a air rifle approach. B) Well there goes the $100 - 100 x $1 sites, to cover server fees you need to earn $150 - $300 per month. C) To cover 100 URLs annually you need a further $1000 minimum. What my point is - is to earn $100 a day, you need to cover associated fees as well, hence a minimum of $300 a month, so $1 per site a day doesn't cover expenses and keep you above $100 a day .... it's just not as shotgun as some new guys would hope for - so the term is used loosely.
This is a strange phenomenon. I've bee reading a lot of forums and blogs about building 100 Bans sites. I've yet to meet anyone that's actually done it. I'm thinking about putting a couple of days aside to plough through and do it.
let's look at the math: 1 ded server to host 100 sites: you could easily do it at $75 a month (i'm assuming you are not hosting bandwidth-heavy sites...static html uses very little BW) but i'll go conservative at $100 a month = $1,200 per year 100 domains: $900 total cost: $2,100 a year/ 365 days = $5.75 per day so you only need to make $105.75 per day to net $100 per day. Crap, the OP's theory doesn't work at all as you need 106 sites making $1 a day to net $100. and to reiterate what i said before, you would start off on a virtual $5 or $10 monthly server plan and only scale up as needed. no one ever said this would be done in a week or even a month. and yes it works. i think you are misinterpreting the OP's use of shotgun as an adjective. its not meant to imply quick, its suggests a large number of sites.
Hi Karat. You bring up an interesting point here. You said that you cannot work for anyone, I know this feeling which is why I started my own web development company. However, there will be a lot of people here that also cannot cope with working for themselves. It takes a LOT of commitment, hard work, focus, working stupid hours at times, sacrifice ... the list goes on ... Is it worth it? You can only jugdge that if the sacrifice (mostly time), is worth the reward at the end.
These are not advices, nothing informative...thanks for sharing your definitions though. You can make around $100 per day net from these ways but that's it. I think $100 per day is nothing big, consider if you live in Europe and US. You need real website, real contents, sometimes 2-3 employees, to make 4 digits income per month
First of all you need a site with huge traffic...there's not much people with such luck, also trying to start one in today's crowded market is nearly impossible.
Good point, not trying to diss the original posters efforts but it's like those useles ebooks that tell you just enough to keep you guessing and chasing nothing. I will try almost anything that seems doable and put full effort into it, follow the so called instuctions to a tee and 95% of the advice is either completely whored out or was just theory. It's hard to find an honest mentor so for now trial an error is the best way to go and most expensive. No one in this world is really gonna try and help you unless they really care about you or there is something in it for them (venting a little lol). I mean isn't that how you get rich anyway, by knowing something everyone else doesn't? ___________________________________________ DiscoverMeLive.com "Where The World Is Watching".
