Looking to Expand My Network

    So far i've done petty well with a few proxies. As any true businessman, I'm looking to diversify my network so i'm not earning all my money from one method.

    Proxies aside, what types of websites create decent income and require little/no upkeep. It's not that i'm lazy (REALLY!), but more so the fact that it's going to be my senior year at university so I know school will be keeping me busy as well.

    I'm looking to potentially use YPN, as I'm using adsense right now. Basically i'm lookin to start potentially a few more sites other than proxies with monetization methods other than Adsense.

    What are my best bets? Thanks!:)

    Try with directories.

    All you need to do is to set it up, put adsense on it and submit link here. Webmasters will put you on lists of directories and you will get about 30 visits per day.

    I do blog a big but I'd like to try to start a few more sites that aren't quite as involved as a good blog would be.

    sales websites are pretty good, it is what I got started with and sales are fairly consistent, pretty easy to manage as far as just answering emails everyday, and if you use a dropshipper then it won't take a ton of time. You can buy an established ecommerce website at SP every now and then. :)

    That doesn't seem like a good idea if you will only get about 30 visits a day and like 200 submissions a day. lol.

    As long as you don't spend all day going through and approving submissions, then a directory can be alright. Making your directory free is the best bet until it gets some listings and then make it a paid directory just so that you don't get bombed by all the submissions.

    is the myspace resource niche still producing revenue? It seems that it is near saturated. Also how would you suggest starting in that niche?

    Maybe you should jump into a business that won't be killed by Google's latest algorithm change or some new adsense rules :)
