I think I'll make watching a few minutes of that video part of my "starting the day" routine for a while for motivation reasons....it truly is inspiring.
You get a free newsletter if you sign up to his email list. It looks pretty good. Even came with a video of a couple case studies sent in my some of the exclusive members.
...based on his "informercial" if you will...he says he has hundreds of info sites. From my understanding you can now buy pre-built info sites, adsense ready, however Google is making it a point to black list or not index duplicate material. Based on that, has anyone here started their own brand of content site?
Hi, I think this is just a another adverstising, I won't a dime on this kind of BS. You pretty much get everything here for free: http://www.spicyedition.com/archive/adsense/
This is so inspirational. I know that I will never get to the half a mil mark, but it does inspire me to get to $50k .... or at least $5k!
I see no reason why this would be faked. Of course it is a marketing tool. But I think that it could work. I mean look at it this way. I made a few sites in the past with only 2-3 pages each, all original content which I wrote myself. All it took was submitting a good article to a directory and I was making at least $1 a day. Now lets say I duplicated that process to 1000 sites. after only 2-3k articles I could make 1-2k a day. It would be ALOT of work to manage it. But look at the guys stats, .... you will NEVER make that much if you dont WORK. In fact that is probably why a great many people give up... they refuse to put in hard WORK
AF: That's true. It is a lot of hard work and you're right. The entire process is definitely scalable. If one site earns $1, there's no reason why 1,000 sites won't earn you $1k. But, can you manage 1,000 sites by yourself? I have a couple of content sites and a couple of directories. The 2 content sites use up around 40 hours a week of my time as I write original travel articles and publish photographs that I take during my travels on it. I don't think it is possible for one person to manage 1,000 sites that contain original content. That's why I am sticking to my 4 sites and will only build more once these ones are running like a "well-oiled machine"!
I agree that management of that many site's is beyond any 1 person's ability. My strategy is once you get a site to certain point then drop it an move on. It is not entirely hard for me to write 15 decent articles and post them on my site, then add some additional repost articles, and add some RSS Feeds to the pages. Add a forum. Submit your articles through your favorite tool to a bunch a sites, rinse and repeat. Now granted if I am making 1-2k a day I am not doing this alone. My strategy at that point is, hire additional help to grow and manage your empire. Now I have yet to implement any of this, but it is my goal to work out over the next 6 mos.
Well, I'm working on one right now...look at my sig And I'd be to first to admit that it's lots of hardwork. I custom made my content directory and run into all sorts of problems with a new hosting provider. Haha, nothing that can't be solved though. I checked google and found that it has been indexed recently. Hope it gets round to index all the 500+ pages soon
John Reese, the owner of the video, posts some great information and hard-to-hear facts for many in this thead - http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=77891 Straight from the horses mouth...as they say.
Most people who build 1000's of sites you gontent genertors since there simply not enough time to individually manage that many sites. However, a couple dozen high quality content sites can easily outperform 1000's of crappy sites though. But be aware though that making money with adsense can still take time as there are factors such as; 1. competitiveness of the keywords (money commerce keywords are VERY difficult to rank well even for the 5 or more word combinations) 2. age of the site (google sandbox affects newer sites) 3. ad placement (optimal placement equals more clicks and more money) 4. demographics (Who visits your site. Younger people are less likely to click ads for example) 5. content (More keyword rich content gives you greater presence in the search engines and more reasons for people to link to you.)
Hi, I started some sites back in 94, had an investment partnership with AOL from 1995 until their merger with TimeWarner, then watched it all unravel around 2001. Got involved in some other businesses but kept the domains alive. The damn things wouldn't die. Tried to sell them but no serious offers. So I'm stuck with a PR6 that's never been updated since 1999 and a PR7 (with 10,000 pages) that I've just started updating seriously this year. They bring in some Google bucks and some link income but I want to improve it. I tried ad networks for years but it was always a battle to get paid. I tried ecommerce but Linkshare and Performics are worse than ad networks. Instead of the challenges facing new sites, I have a different challenge. How do I make legacy sites into more successful (read $$$ producing) sites? TW
