    Sounds like a kind of robotic, plastic, unoriginal, and soulless way to make money. But hey, if it does make money, more power to you.

    He he... sometimes having a soul and earning money can't be together :D

    I remember several years ago I saw someone at Ebay selling some kind of program or script that was like a bot that signed up to porn sites for a trial test. They pay good comissions for that and he was earning something like $50,000 a month. He sold the program for some crazy amount of money because he wanted to "retire" and travel around the world.

    One of the main reasons for the Bourbon update from Google ans the top reason a lot of folks say they lost their PR was do to:
    3. Use page-generation software

    Id be careful creating any sites with that copy (steal) and generate crap

    There's page generation software and then there's page generation software.
    At the end of the day, what I think is being talked about here is automating template generation.
    You don't need the (horrible) page generation stuff that's out there because you're using a blog backend. All you need is to be able to make changing the template as easy as possible.
    I use a bot to auto insert relevant content into the forums on some of my sites - see my cricket site for an example. Doing the same with articles wouldn't be difficult.
    Ideally, what you're looking for is half a dozen sources of content per site - rss feeds, articles, whatever. Then you script these sources to be placed on the site at irregular intervals and hey presto you've got a fully automated site.
    In the main, you're not looking to build sites that are going to bring in lots of revenue on their own. The idea is to build lots of sites which bring in smaller amounts. 100 sites bringing in $5 per day is obviously a very decent income. If it costs you $100 per month (on the high side) per site to buy the content and pay for hosting etc, then you're making a clear profit of $50 per month per site, multiply that by 100 and that's 5K per month.
    The primary aim is to make the entire thing as automated as possible. Try to manually look after 100+ sites, and you'll soon wish you'd chosen another field to work in. The time consuming part is marketting all the sites, you need to be able to quickly and easily create IBL's.

    toocool: doing things manually can be done with one site, perhaps even 10, but try doing it manually with 100+.
    As you've said, $5 per day can be achieved quite quickly. Do it with enough sites and you've got a decent business.

    I always think about trying to make new websites to cash in some more revenue, but I don't even know where to start. My weblog earns me about 10 bucks a day, and it took me nearly four years of writing and networking with visitors to build me decent (and FREE) traffic.

    Evidently, it took me that long because I wasn't trying to get traffic. I was just writing for myself, and word of mouth started.

    Yeah I agree... This approach is fairly pricey, and would use up more than $5 a day you generated for the next 6 months. Doesn't seem like a terribly profitable strategy for quite some time. How many articles are you putting on this site for 6 weeks? How much are you paying per article? How much are you paying for submission services etc?

    And I am a bit concerned about some aspects of this... Seems a little sterile to me, but as long as you are paying for legitimate content, I don't see a problem.

    It's called a splog. Spam blog. When all you guys using RSS feeds on your site for unique content start to see "content" which is nothing but affiliate links, this is all not going to seem so clever.

    Get in on the trend now and take the cash, before the ping services and blog directories get wise and crack down.

    Wow - a lot of responses. Some of you get it, some of you don't. Some of you read my post carefully, some of you skimmed through then posted a critique.

    But let me ask you this - of those that left negative, how many of you actually TOOK ACTION? NOT ONE! It's been about 12 hours since I started this thread. It'll take about 6 weeks to implement.

    How about this for a novel concept - TAKE ACTION! TRY what I''ve posted.

    As for costs - $7 max for a domain name, hosting is negligible for an individual domain on a reseller account, and inbound PR8 links have been bought on ebay for $50 per month (and you can change the links to point to other sites - you're only using these to get indexed, not for permanent PR, so you'll only ever pay for a couple per month.)

    I'll admint there's some upfront investment for tools such as RSS2Blog and a few others, but you're looking at only a few hundred bucks. If you cannot invest that much in your own business, then why the hell are you starting a business in the first place?

    To all those this helps, you're welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me...

    Ok here is the math $5/ day * 180 (6 months) = $900

    Costs:
    $7 domain
    hosting $30 ( 5 month cheapo hosting plan, unique ip)
    rsstoblog $247
    5 articles $35
    links : $50* 6 = $300
    total of that: $619 + time and other software you dont mention by name

    seeing you post " OMFG google banned all my "quality"* sites!!!!!!! "
    Prizeless.

    * quality from your point of view.

    really you probably are either the creator of some of this software looking to sell it or just so people pm you for the software link and you give them your affiliate link.

    Um, well, you're perfectly entitled to your opinions, of course.

    But you pay for domains once per year.
    You pay for software one time only (typically speaking).
    You only need to pay for two articles, and the cost is $5 per article.
    And you can host several sites on a cpanel account - meaning the cost per domain is far less.

    No, I've never had a site banned, but I'll sure as hell post here fast as I can if any of them ever are!

    And, no, I'm not selling any software. If someone wants to be a student, it's 25% of your earnings, up to a lifetime cap of $100k. You don't earn, I don't earn. So you'd BETTER earn, as I don't teach you all this just for fun! I have better things to do, like drive my car, going flying, or travelling.

    OK, enough for today - need to build more sites!!! ;)

    Creativ, this site is killer! Was this a script???? If so, what are you using to snag data? Lastly, you should visit http://syndk8.net/forum/index.php we discuss all sorts of content generator, blog and ping, etc.

    I wonder if this technique could work if you just built multiple subdomains on the same host?

    It should, although unique domains are a 'recommended best-bet' - but feel free to try! ;)

    For everyone's info, the link in Henny's post referred to a Cognigen (www.cognigen.com / www.ld.net) affiliate site of mine. You pay a fee, they automate the site, you drive traffic, and earn commissions - basic stuff. But a nice little side-earner...! ;)

    I admit that I didn't jump into action on your plan. As an analytical thinker and someone with a bit of business experience, your plan was chocked full of holes. So jumping into action would have been at the worst foolish.

    I imagine I could devise a plan where if I spent a million dollars I could get well beyond $5 a day in 6 weeks. But how useful would that be? Thus the follow-up questions, at least on my part.


    I agree, those costs are all fairly negligible.

    So for 6 weeks you are spending $75 for that site. So your first 15 days of $5 a day revenue is gone for that.

    You completely left out content. To me original content is fairly important. You mentioned paying people to write articles, so I assume you meant unique content. You certainly don't want to trash up the internet with more duplicate content? So where is the cost there? That has got to be by far the most significant cost of this project, and you will have to keep spending money on it.

    So within 6 weeks how many unique articles did you buy? How many will you have to buy a week after that? What is the average cost?

    All I see is $5 a day getting ground down to pennies a day.

    There are easier ways to make pennies a day. Don't be insulted. I appreciate your initiative and suggestions, I just want to know what the real costs are for what you are doing.

    Revenue means nothing if you don't know what the costs are. Where is the link where the guy is making $2000 a day on adsense, yet it is only a pittance in his overall expenses, so the fact that he makes $2000 on adsense doesn't mean the same thing as if he had $10 a day expenses.

    Just fill in the whole picture.


    Why would you start a thread on a message forum and then ask people with questions to PM you? I have some questions for you, and I would love to know the answers. I am not discounting your plan, I just don't have all the relevant information.

    This is an open forum for discussion, taking questions to PM makes no sense.


    Edit: By the way I noticed where you said you pay $5x2 articles and that is all you need for your site ot make $5 a day for ever.

    Beautiful. That is quite some content you have there.
