    hello, Im new here at DP :) and I come here asking for help, spent the last 6 hours reading nearly every article related to my issue here on DP!

    Least to say, ALOT of information :) anyways my problem is I recently my first payment of $108 from Google Adsense however this took me well over 8 months and 3 websites!! I know I'm doing something wrong, can someone help me here?
    My goal is to earn approximately $100 a day, my ULTIMATE goal that is :)

    I am not afraid to restart a new website and start from scratch, but I just don't know what to write about! I know people say "write about what you like" well I like alot of things and the things I've wrote about seem to generate very little to no-revenue! How can I improve this? and what do you think is the best type for Adsense - is it website? forums? blogs?

    Thanks alot for any help! :)
    I am determined to get this $100 a day even if it takes me several years!!

    I would suggest to buy some real domains and do a better work. From what you have, 100$ is ok. Don't expect a lot more.

    You must work on something for your nature of content and excessive amount of traffic!

    First thing be serious with online business :
    - Buy a domain name
    - Take a hosting ( a good one )
    - Find your niche
    - Learn about SEO and SEM
    - Bluid more sites
    - Spend some cash in ads and directories
    - Try to blend you ads and choose the perfect placement

    And you can read more about adsense tips here.

    I hope that may help :).

    traffic is the only way to success. i have read many books, used several softwares but everything that claims to make good money within days is a BS for sure. nothing in this world is like short success. if it is, it will surely be illegal or will be banning you/your account for sure. dont fall in these pits.
    grab some good paying keywords like payday loans, mortgage, loan financing, home loans, credit cards, make some good sites on them, write unique articles, submit them to various places, make backlinks for your sites, post on related forums , blogs to get some target visitors. once these start coming, update your site with as much unique content as you can. it is the only way to get good SE rankings besides SEO. try to retain your site visitors on your site for as much time as you can by providing them what they want.
    this is my thinking though i dont get much time implementing all these on my own sites but its all planned and i will be doing this on my own sites as well.
    some expert comments will further enhance my thinkings / opinion.

    Hey m3rc:

    Just know this. I set out with the same goal - $100 / day and I'm now making $105 per day and rising. Granted, I work for it online - it's not on autopilot but I'm not whining.

    I make decent money in my spare time and I can work when / wherever I want.

    Good luck getting to where you want to be!

    Congrats. for 100$ . You must take a real domain.

    Other suggestion. Per day write atleast one article. Submit it to 25+ bookmarking site through onlywire or manual.


    I too got 100$ in eight months. Just waiting for google to deliver that check at my home.

    I suggest the first thing to do, is that you buy your own domain. Start a content rich site, build backlinks, then you will see some good revenue.

    every subject is important.

    Actually people search how to earn money but there are allready lot of sites or blogs. so its hard to get success.

    Open the site which is good and have less competition.
