    hi guys.. i am about to start a project right now and i just wanna know your thoughts about it..

    here is my plan:

    • first of all, via keyword sniffing, i am planning to find a niche which is giving around 0.10 - 0.15 $ per click (i mean for adsense) and with a low competition on google.. (this will take my 1 day)
    • after that, i will open a blog on blogger (or with a .info domain) using my keyword.. (this will take an hour)
    • then i ll start to write at least 10-15 articles as a beginning (this will take about 5-10 days) and add these posts to the blog day by day.. but i am NOT sure if i will be able to add more posts except these.. maybe 5 more posts for the following days..
    • and i have around 100 $ for promotion and link development.. i will try to get paid links from web sites with the same niche.. (this will take a month, maybe..)
    • and after all these, at the end of the second month, i am planning to get 3-5 $ per day from adsense..

    you think this idea will work? or this is just a dream?

    have you ever tried something like this?

    please share your negative and positive thougts..

    thanks..

    Well it wont be hard to find keywords that pay .10 - .15$ a click ;)
    Things like this take time, so just a warning of not to expect high earnings unless targeted traffic is quite large.

    No dream is to big. Stay focused, and continue to raise the bar once your initial goals are met.

    Its not impossible, but it will take some work.

    Just make sure you realize that if there is limited competition, there is also limited people searching it... which means a limited audience... unless it is something brand new.

    Maybe set up 3 blogger accounts with 5 articles each. Have each blog go for a separate main keyword that gets a decent amount of traffic on google every day. Then have the articles target other variations of that keyword.

    Then add each post to every social bookmarking site on socialmarker.com. Within a week you should be on the first page for the keyword that you decided to go after.

    The reason I say blogger instead of .info is that, from my experience, google will throw a blog on blogger on the front page 1000x faster than a domain name, especially for .info. Only get a domain name if you are planning on a long-term project that you are going to spend a lot of time on. For simple keyword targeting like that, blogger is cheaper and much more effective, at least for me.

    Even with doing that, you may pull 2-3$ a day, but that might be stretching it.

    thanks for all the answers..

    what about my budget for paid links? you think it is enough or don't i need any paid link? cos nobody mentioned about it.. by the way, i thought it is easier to find a niche.. i ve been searching using word tracker free edition and google keyword tool for about 2 hrs but still no result.. you recommend something else?

    i like http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/index.php

    also check out http://tdc.s3.amazonaws.com/NicheIdeas.pdf for places to get niche ideas.

    I always find amazon good, go to the magazine section and look at hobbies, there's a lot there.

    Also don't worry too much about it, there are many niches that will make you money. when I first started I picked 2 random niches and made blogs on them. Now that I know more about it, I realize one of them is a nice, targeted niche, while the other is highly competitive. I still made money from both, and learned a lot from doing both.

    As long as you start, you can then improve the process as you get going.

    The basic idea is ok, But I highly doubt about the second part (i.e, getting $2~$3 per day).

    Things usually start off quite slow. You make a site, you need to give it some good content and stuff, which takes time. Then it takes a while for google to index it, and to start thinking it's good enough to get a pagerank and start sending visitors. Also it takes a while to get links and stuff.

    Not to discourage you but 2 months is a bit of a short time period. It can be done, but I'd set your time frame a little higher. The start of a website is really slow. Like i found for the first 5 months it was really slow, then my website got "discovered". Google started sending traffic, some bloggers blogged about it, and my traffic and earnings went up lots.

    This is a bit of luck, for some people it can take only 1 month, for other unlucky people it can take about a year, it's just hard to predict.

    But if you keep at it, you will definitely get to your goal $3-5 a day, and more, it just takes time for your site to age.

    I doubt $2-$3 per day as well given only 2 months. And it might be obtainable but only if you spend hundreds first in adwords. As soon as you stop with adwords then you make nothing again.

    I think you are being too formulaic. That or your formula just doesn't sound so good.
