I got asked just this morning to show a list of sites where I make money. Most of them are NOT big money makers, however, I prefer to have lots of little egg baskets hanging around instead of 1 or 2 BIG baskets where if one of them disappears, what do you have left?
Been there, done that, and, boy, did I learn!!!!!!
Folks, if I can get anything across to you that will stick, please understand that making money on the internet is not hard, however, it is not as stable as everyone would have you believe. Yes, there are some people who make an unbelievable amount of money on the internet, however, they are NOT the average Joe's saturating the internet. The regular Joe's need to have LOTS of little baskets that make them $20-$50/month (that's a great starting point and then you work your way up from there so they each make more than that, but plan on starting low!). Then you just rinse and repeat what you did for those sites and multiple your earnings.
Once you have something up and running, then you can take your time and tweak here and there, advertise more, write more articles, build more back links, and post in more forums to get more traffic. More traffic = more sales!
That's all there is to it, but go in with the expectation that you'll be happy to get one site making $20-$50 per month to start with and then work your way up. Too many people go into internet marketing with the expectation that they'll be making tons of money within weeks and when it doesn't happen, well, they feel like they got the raw end of a deal. Make your expectations realistic, know that it WILL take some work (not hard, though) and go forward with those thoughts in your brain.
Here are the main sites where I have made money each month:
Effects of Bulimia
As a recovered teen bulimic, I try to reach out to parents with information to help their kids recover from their eating disorders. This one is near and dear to my heart.
Fix Marriage
Don't know how or why, but people have been asking for my advice on their relationships for YEARS now, so I figured I'd put it to good use. If you know someone who is having marital or relationship problems and wants to stay together, send them this link.
Firm Butt
Yep, the title says it all, Firm The Butt~! Free videos and straight talk by Joey Atlas, who is known for being one of the premiere Women's Fitness Coaches provided. In case you wonder, yes, I bought the set of videos that Joey offers on this site myself and, yes, my butt is firming up!!! Just ask Santos! If you need to get a Firm Butt, you need to check out this site!
Acid Reflux Cure
Acid Reflux is one of the after effects of being bulimic over a long period of time, which I was as a teen. Acid Reflux is painful, unhealthy, and just plain NASTY! If you have acid reflux, check out this site for some natural acid reflux cures/remedies. Yes, I promote an ebook with a LOT more information, but I offer enough freebies on this site to help you control your acid reflux.
OK, those are the main Squidoo lenses that I work on each week, most of them also have blogs that complement them and help with page rank (we'll get into that later on).
I have a few blogs that also promote different items, however, they are not as specific as the above lenses. Here are a few of them:
Easy Quick Ways To Make Money For Beginners
I've tried to be as specific in this blog as I could about steps to take to get a money making blog started. I'll be updating this one on a weekly basis as just a few things have evolved, but all information here is still valid. I promote a very easy program to make money from (costs very little - one time fee) and use this blog to outline how to make money by using it. This one is a perfect beginner program.
208 PayPal Programs
This is another excellent program for an internet beginner. PayPal programs are wonderful to promote as you get paid immediately upon sale! You don't have to wait for a monthly check to come through the mail, you don't need a minimum to get paid, you don't have to wait at all, it comes through the same day you get paid through the program! If you apply for the PayPal Debit Card, you can use your earnings almost immediately, just as you would any debit card. Promoting a handful of PayPal programs is ALWAYS a good idea, especially when you are just getting started!
(All 3 of my boys are on this one! THAT should tell you something right there!)
Adsense Sites
This is an Adsense Site that I have that is strictly a hands off site. I write a few ads or articles every couple weeks to get traffic to it and that's all I do. People who are looking for information on Travel, Finance, Computers, Shopping, Car and Video Tips read the information provided (site is ready made for you), they tend to click on the Adsense Ads to the side of the information provided, and YOU get commission monthly from Google from the ads being clicked. EASY, EASY, EASY
And here are TWO lenses that I've created specifically to sell. I'll keep them only long enough to get a bit of traffic and revenue on them, then "flip" them and sell them to someone who doesn't want the hassle of creating their own site, finding out what the "right" keywords are, and starting the traffic flow. Once everything is all set up and traffic has already started, it's very easy to keep the traffic flowing and they are no-brainers. Many people are willing to pay good money so they don't have any of the "creation" hassles. Plus, it's just another way for me to create revenue on a monthly basis for myself, especially since I get a kick out of the "creation" process more than the actual running of the site.
Noise Reduction Headphone
I already have a link pointing to this site on the SECOND page of Google, should be on first page within the next week.
Pelican Paddleboat
I already have a link pointing to this site on the FIRST and SECOND page of Google.
Both of these sites have LOTS of searches for the specific keywords each month and very LITTLE competition.
OK, I think this post is long enough, I don't want to put anyone to sleep, but these are my MAIN sites for income right now. I have quite a few other sites that I'm working, although not all of them make money every month, so they are not consistent YET! But I'll be getting them there by using the same methods I'll be telling you about in future posts.
Check back in tomorrow, I'll have more here.
Have a great day,
Michelle
