    Out of interest, where is this country where you pay 0% tax on adsense earnings?

    KingofKings;

    I advise you should invest that money in your plan, because PEOPLE LEARN FROM FAILURES and Failure is the tuition you pay for success. :)

    Firstly, Good luck..

    Each to his own but if I had 15K to spend on adsense sites, I'd make 3-4 good sites that I am interested in.

    The obvious flaw in your plan as people have said is that its reliant on adsense but that can be easily overcome using other PPCs or affliate stuff as long as you get the traffic.

    The second concern is getting the Google penalty but if you stay away from Duplicate content too much and keep most of your sites from being on a small number of servers .. the damage should be controllable.

    So this leaves the overheads/profits.


    For this I suggest that you get your staff to do some Data Entry, link building, SEO odd jobs that you can get on this forum or other means. I mean 160 for full time workers ... you can build a business on that...

    But anyways.... get them to spend a bit of their time to do these jobs to cover some of their costs.... the remaining time develop your sites.

    Work out a forecast and see how it goes.

    What country are you living in? People in most countries in Africa live on less than $2 per day. I bet $300 a month is a lot to them.......by the way, I live in the U.S., and $300 per month pays my rent. I've looked at the numbers. You can hire people in the Phillipines and South America for $300 per month....depending on the work.

    My IP will say that i'm from Romania if you ask the moderators.
    But the reason for that because i'm using a satellite connection.

    My country is Lebanon! 0% Taxes! ;)

    Well, I do have roommates, but even if I got my own small studio apartment, I could find one in Texas or Arkansas that are $300 per month or less.........it is hard, don't get me wrong, but is is possible. It just depends on where you go, I mean you can forget about $300 per month rent in California or New York.

    I talked to a guy in India who told me his monthly mortgage was the equivalent of $250 bucks, so this means $300 per month pays his house payment and leaves $50 bucks in his pocket.

    I also know that the typical engineer in China can be hired for about $8,000 per year, and I don't even think China is classified as a third world country.........in any event $300 per month is a lot of money for a lot of people in different parts of the world, even the U.S.

    8,000 a year it is about $700 a month, which is not $300, here he also can be hired for $700, but this is for no more than 1 year experience, actually range is $700-$1500 and $2000+ for great team leaders.

    Also in India is it rent or mortgage ? I mean after full payment will he own his house (flat) ? And as far as I understand he gets $300 per month. So is it enough to buy food, clothes, some fun, etc. for the rest = $50 ? If not this is not living:)

    As for rent I thought it's no less than $600 in USA. With roommates you can find here for $80 a month also , but this is in bad part of town and bad 1 room flat.

    I thought Texas is not cheap part of USA. Can you please send me a pictures of $300 flat ?

    Well, to conclude if you want to find full-time job in developed countries there are lot of companies who will pay above standarts in that countries. Cause that way they will attract all that people from DP, rentacoder, scriptlance , etc. and also you will gain medical insurance, paid mobile, gym and other bonuses like trips, etc.

    The truth, that $500 in 3rd world 2 years ago and now can buy far less today. It's like $1000 today there. I can also make a living with $200-$250 a month here, no questions. It's all depends what we call living:)

    hehe I think were getting a bit off topic here. But no problem.

    About Renting, Here in lebanon it's more expensive then India.
    But you can find some cheap good deals.

    You can get a decent place in the U.S. for less than $600 per month, but you are talking about a studio apartment. In states such as New York and California, you will not be able to find hardly anything under $600. States such as Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, Kansas, and Florida you can find for about $600 or less per month. You may also be able to find cheap places in North Dakota, Montana, Iowa, or Wyoming.

    I'm single without a wife or kids, so all I need is a studio or even a room. For that, you can get for $300, but you have to do your research.

    To look for apartment prices around the U.S., you can go to www.rent.com. The guy I talked to in India was paying $250 a month for his mortgage, which I think he is paying off. $80 a month is very hard to get in the U.S., even with roommates. The cheapest I ever had with roommates was $120 per month, and we now pay $168 per month each, not including power, which is about $40 bucks.

    Interesting I thought that you can't get rent in usa under 1000 dollars.

    Looks like USA has the same idea of lebanon, It depends on the place you are renting, and the area.

    Not only USA but every country in the world has that idea !

    Downtown in my city the price for 1 meter square (first floor) is 6k or 7k
    If you move 1 km or less from the center of Tirana the prices drop to 1k or 800$ per meter square

    Not that you will probably listen, but those $.99 .info domains will have to be renewed in a year @ $6.95 or more... So you better work in that cost to renew them all at the end of the year or lost all of your investment.

    That's why they are on special... Because you have to renew them!
