150 websites making $6-$100 per day. You Can Do This Too. My Online Business Strategy

I have been marketing online for over 3 years now quite successfully. I am also a much sought after IM consultant.

The #1 question I get from prospective clients is, "What methods would you teach me in order to make money online?", or something of that nature.

Although I teach several methods to generate different income streams, my favorite method involves simple website creation using WordPress in conjunction with affiliate marketing to monetize.

My methods aren't anything new per se, but over the last several years I have perfected it in such a way as to maximize the benefits regarding organic search engine traffic and high conversions.

It's not uncommon for my sites to get 5000+ hits per month! And it's all free traffic!

I currently have 150+ websites that are making anywhere from $6 to $100 per day, I have about 4 that do $100 a day, the rest are all over the board.

Anyway... I wanted to share my basic business model here...

First and most importantly, the general idea is to produce a mini-authority website of 20+ pages that is optimized for 20+ keywords (including your main page and domain name keyword.)

The websites will have the pages listed on the left hand side of the site and all will link to internal pages. Each of the pages are, in and of themselves, researched keywords that will rank on the first page of the search engines and each garnish it's own share of organic traffic.

First you find a niche.

Then you start doing the keyword research.

The main keyword (for the main page as well as your domain name) needs to be relatively general.

Example:

Niche - Tattoos

Main Page (and domain name) Keyword - Masculine Tattoos

Internal Pages "Alternate Keywords" (listed on the left hand side of the website) - Tribal Arm Tattoos, Back Tattoos, Rib Tattoos, etc.

Using your favorite keyword research tool, the keywords MUST have at least 800 searches per month (exact match) and have manageable competition within the search engines. Let's just say 30,000 results or less (in Google) when searched for in quotes.

I build websites using WordPress (Wordpress.org.) I do this because quite simply, it's easier than building a static web page and it's much simpler to teach as well as implement.

When I build a site, I use a theme that has a left column sidebar and set it up to look like a regular website as opposed to a blog. For example, I take out page tabs, any unnecessary widgets, etc.

I then create a page to use as my main page (utilizing an already researched keyword that I will also use as my domain name.)

I go into the dashboard of the blog and under "Settings", I choose "Reading." Then I pick the page I just created to be a "static page" and my front page.

This allows a single post or page to be displayed as opposed to many posts like a blog has.

As you find your keywords, you will then create pages that will be clickable links using anchor text HTML within text widgets to be placed in the left sidebar of the site.

Once you create your site, you should have a very clean and basic website that has 20+ pages of content, that is linked to with keyword links on the left hand side of the page that are visible to your visitor no matter what page they happen to be visiting on your site.

All my websites are ranked #1 through #5 for all their target keywords (pages included.) 85%+ of my traffic comes directly from Google. The rest comes from people and or online entities who have linked to my sites.

My Website Qualities:

* They all target 5-10 different products per site.

* I recommend both informational products (ex: ClickBank products), and physical products (ex: Amazon, E-bay.) There are pros and cons for each. Informational products require more of a pre-sell, so in order to be more persuasive, your content needs to be at least 500 to 750 words per page. Physical products (tangible items) are great because you don't have to say as much and the competition is usually more manageable.

In building these sites, my goal is to be #1 in Google. In fact the power of this system is that all of the pages within your site have the ability to be #1 in Google, so you can only imagine what type of traffic and conversions that brings with it.

*Note - When done properly, 10% or more of your pages will rank on the first page of Google without you doing anything extra at all. I have found however, to get to #1 for everything, backlinking is key.

In the beginning, I wrote all of the content for my sites, and my backlinking (if needed.) At this point, I outsource almost all of my work in order to spend more time driving my businesses forward.

My online business strategy is an awesome business model that really works (To the tune of six figures annually for me.)

One great thing about this model, is that for the cost of one domain name (usually about $10 per year), and the cost of hosting (roughly $14 per month), you can set this business up.

*Note - Get a hosting company that allows unlimited add-on domains so that you can build more sites by just buying more domain names only.

Unless you pay for outsourcing, those are your only costs besides your time investment.

The sky is the limit!

As time permits, I will respond to any questions you post to this thread.

 

Hi there, thanks for sharing your strategy, it sounds like a profitable one, but never the less very laborious and also a strategy that would take at least one year or more to replace a full time job, but I do appreciate you sharing this with us.

 

You are quite welcome. Yes, it is very profitable for me, I have been implementing this particular model now for a couple of years. Contrary to popular belief, it is not as labor intensive as it may seem. I have students who were able to replace a full time income with this exact system in about 6 months or so. It took me about a year to reach that level. I am slower than most.

 

In the end, it comes down to luring people into clicking your signature. Good job.

 

there is nothing wrong with the signature... you got one too... and I clicked on it

 

hey thank Gary for sharing... and YES you are right!

 

I didn't say anything wrong with having a signature, I'm saying the purpose of his HUGE post is to lead you to click on his sig which is about online business strategy.

Yet another thanks for sharing noob

 

Hey thanks for your time Gary in writing the original post.

Each site has 5-10 products each? So your sites are based on a vague umbrella, to which the products can fall?

I ask cause in the past I've had trouble nailing a niche that works on that level.

 

What sort of promotion are you doing for each of the sites? Are you automating any of the methods?

 

You just exposed his entire business model. Didn't even have to click on his site.

 

There are a few automated programs out there, that are doing what you are doing but in a fraction of the time.

 

can you name them, please?

 

I will try this.
Looks pretty good.
Going to start a new site soon.
Thanks!

 

You're welcome.

Yes, that is correct, the main page (domain name) keyword is typically rather general, kind of like a subtopic for your chosen niche, then there are your inner pages (which are also targeted keywords), that fall more specifically within your niche.

 

These sites are designed to take advantage of naturally occurring search engine traffic. I promote both physical and informational products within my site(s.) Once maximized, these sites get tons of organic traffic based on doing your keyword and search manageability properly. I don't really have to promote the sites otherwise.

No, I don't automate, other than outsource most of the work at this point.

 

Let's face it, we are all here for the same purpose to mostly make money online while making online friends and the useless chatter is cool. It is just fun (a hobby to me) but Project is right, signature line needs to be interesting but you also need to be promoting quality product also (because the last thing you want is someone to buy the product you are promoting- simply to request a refund :-( frowns. That is why I only promote quality products. What's the sense of promoting a crap product for someone just to return :-( You make no money and wasted your time
but honestly, we all post here for 3 reasons, Chat, Promote your Product and Make online friends (who you can learn alot from)

 

This is pretty good advice. Thanks.

 

Yes sure ... take a look here ... copy - paste http://www.warriorforum.com/main-in...u-can-do-too-my-online-business-strategy.html

 

So, you mean if same person is posting it then he should change everything ?

 

He should be posting this kind of dejections in the 1st place if he had any kind of respect for himself . IMHO his just another would-be-webmaster that doesn't even make 5$ per day .
