It has been just over a month since I posted my grand plan to get 100 affiliate sites up and running by the end of the year to bring in some extra cash. - hopefully enough to pay my mortgage each month.
I have only created 4 more sites since then - so I am way off target for completing my goal.
I have started to realise that making 100 sites will bring me some money, but I will also have to do the following:
- Add unique content to each page on each site.
- Add links from other places to each site to build its profile in Google.
- Make sure each site is working all the time.
- Analyse each one regularly to monitor how people got to my site and what they came searching for and adjust it accordingly.
So, making a few sites selling high value items that are optimised is the way to go I think.
Quality not quantity
I have a total of 7 sites using the new software I bought to make them with and I am on target to earn back what I have spent already. Including the cost of the domains.
It does get addictive though.
Searching for a new niche market that has the right amount of searches in Google and the right amount of competing pages backed by a solid, regular selling high priced item that people NEED and WANT.
It's actually fun just doing that bit!
If anyone is interested in what I am doing, I might knock together an eBook describing the process and how to make money at the end of it.
