Earn Money Online With Low Maintenance Sites
If you still need to hold down a full time job while at the same time trying to build up your online portfolio you should be looking to build income from projects that take little time and maintenance. It’s all very well for someone to write a book telling you to create a site then submit 5 articles a day for a month (This was really the recommendation in a report I read this week!) but it’s not realistic. Yes you could outsource the work but you’d soon have spent $750-$1000 before you’d made a cent. This is now money that you have to recuperate before you are in profit.
At the Income academy membership site we have had numerous people join who have spent a lot of money on e-books and programs but have no income to show for it. This is usually due to a number of things. either they haven’t had the time or the programs have been developed for users with more expertise.
I talked to several people who have already spent over $1500 and don’t know why they haven’t made any money. What they haven’t realized is that no matter what the program you are going to need to promote it.
I saw a thread in a forum this week where the guy was just starting out and had a plan to spend this week building 30 sites. I tried to explain to him that he would do much better by building 1 or 2 and concentrating on those but he was adamant that by building 30 he would find a few that would be successful. Unless he finds a magic bottle with a genie it’s not going to happen.
You need to look for something that’s quick to set up, requires very little maintenance and is easy to promote. Once these initial sites are making you money then you can re-invest some of the profit into outsourcing and take on much bigger projects. It’s also preferable to make mistakes on small projects.
Before I moved onto my current projects I chose to build a number of Adsense sites. These took up very little time once they were built and I was able to promote them and update them on a regular basis. As soon as I was getting a good Income from them I was able to move on to other projects. I knew that whatever happened I had the income from the Adsense sites to fall back on.
You should look to use as many of the free resources available to you as possible when you are starting out. Use tools like Wordpress to build your sites, you can then easily add Adsense or affiliate programs to earn money. Use google alerts to get topics you can write about on your Wordpress site. I created a site with Wordpress and a datafeed from Goldencan which has already made me over $300 this year. All for a cost of an $8 domain.
There are many free resources available. a quick search around the internet and a few forums will throw up a whole host of them.
