$500/month website

Anyone tried this approach?

[tsinoy]

Hi guys,

I'm wanting to get a quick survey if anyone here have tried this approach?

Create a website, extensively tweak it for 2 months to have it grow to $500/month website of net profit.

And then in the second month start another site and tweak it for 2 months again, so on and so forth.

Of course you will need to come back to some of the older sites and then adjust them accordingly to keep it profitable. After a year, you can potentially have 12 websites with $500/month each... so that would translate to 12*$500 = $6000 per month. This is mostly adwords approach, because it would probably be slower if you go with SEO.

Did this approach work for anyone?

Good luck finding a ton of sites you can get up to $500/month before running out within a year. I got a few tat easily make that, but have only identified about 20 other niches where it won't be hard at all with this formula. Still it takes a lot of time t set up adwords campaigns, etc. I can't bank on free traffic at all anymore.

This coming from the same person who is questing for $3k/day?

I'm surprised you're industrious enough to take on that endeavour but can't find more than 20 niches that can pull $500/month with a plan similar to that described.

Like I said, "you will run out within a year." And this is coming from someone who has built 6 sites already that do that. It sn't just a throw up your site and it will make $500 type of thing. You need to research which niches have potential etc.

I have only identified 20 more because that is what I'm looking to launch within the upcoming months. I'm sure there are a lot more out there, but probably not in my "overall niche."

Of course if you know what you're doing there are a lot ofniches with $1,000+ per month with no problem. Now those are the ones you want to find.

I am also discounting free traffic, it isn't an option for my sandboxed sites.

Don't give up, if you work hard enough you can identify niches that can produce this sum of money per month.

It isn't just a throw up your site and it will make $500 type of thing.

The last two sites I just threw up are doing $1500/month profit...only took a few hours each to put together...and are both in the same niche. It's definately possible to make a $500 profit each month on a site. If you find something that's profitable, try a few different spins in the same niche. Don't let someone else's experience keep you from trying to find your own money makers. Also realize that with some niches it's going to take money to make money and it may take more money than you thought to begin with.

[hdpt00]

OK, I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong. You can just throw up a site and make $500 month. If you've never tried anything before, it mgiht not happen on the first try.

[nuevojefe]

I actually agree somewhat though, it's not very likely someone can come along and do this out of the blue. If you have existing resources however, like some PR to feed it, content and such you can make this happen.

Either way, it's worth doing so that eventually you are at the point when you have a well developed formula that makes this easily possible.

True

like some PR to feed it, content and such

Not if you do it like the sites I mentioned earlier. The are actually just landing pages that are good at giving the customer what they want. There are no links to them and almost the same content.

hi guys,

this is good information, I want to develop this formula and see how it goes. thank you for your comments.

I have a couple more questions, this 1 pagers, they are mostly one page site that sells 1 particular product only right?

And these sites are they low traffic or high traffic sites? I'm assuming you need to use ppc to drive traffic to these sites.

And how about the revenues per sale, is it more like $10/sale or $100/sale?

I just want to get a survey from people's experiences... I'm trying out a 1 page site that pays about $54/sale.

[AZEvil]

they are mostly one page site that sells 1 particular product only right?

One type of product, but not necessarily all of the same brand.

I'm assuming you need to use ppc to drive traffic to these sites.

All traffic is via PPC

how about the revenues per sale, is it more like $10/sale or $100/sale

Nothing more than $10...some as little as $1

I'm trying out a 1 page site that pays about $54/sale.

Be prepared to spend ALOT of money on PPC.

[incrediBILL]

Guess I'm too gun shy to try PPC based on the results of some of my highest paying affiliate programs.

I have a highly targetted web site in the industry, and out of the hundeds of thoudands of impression this one ad gets, only drives about 2,000 people to the affiliate site, and the conversion rate is less than 1% after they get there. Based on adwords rates, assuming the conversion rate didnt improve any, some quick math indicated it would cost about $600 to earn $300, which doesn't work. So at the moment I let the free SEO continue to drive those sales.

Something I'm missing?

[tsinoy]

ok, I've spent half a month parttime tweaking and setting up my new domain and also adwords for one of my sites... right now the net profit is around $115/15 days... or $230/month....

my site has over 250 products...

is there any suggestions on how I can beef this up? to push it to $500/month?

Do you recommend overture as the next expansion?

Do you recommend other ppc sites?

What other suggestions would you recommend that I try? other advertising approach? getting emails from visitors? other ideas?

by the way, I'm only on my 6th month in affiliate marketing.. so there are tons of things I haven't tried yet... will be happy to hear what ideas you have.
