About adsense-totally agree, it's not easy but you do have to be patient, and i guess for ppl like us that's hard to do-hence the buying preowned domains and extra tools to speed up the process of everything we do. HEY, how bout just buying websites straight up that are already making $100 a month?---i'll take 50 of those and sit on my ass --wouldnt that be quicker? lol. yeah im in the same boat as you splork, i get bored with doing the same thing over and over which is maybe the reason I havent kept a job over a year…literally.

What;s the best way to get backlinks? Build your own sites just for backlinks, and if so how many sites to you need? or do you go looking for sites to post comments, Which works best?

I hate to quit and I hate quitters. I need to make a certain amount of money online and this is not a choice matter but a necessity. On to the free discussion, I do pay for somethings like the keyword academy but, there are things that can be found for free online so, do not get caught in the unnecessarily spending trap.

If I hammered 40 hours+ a week, I would expect, like I do now, to make $10/day+ per site. Your hypothetical scenario is really no different for me now. I would simply prefer to have fewer sites making, say $100/day. That is not working for me yet. If I had the time then maybe that could be more of a reality. As it is it's easier for me to scatter shot numerous websites full of mostly crap to reach my goal. Knowing that 50% will get de-indexed or not work is the price I pay for the remainder meeting my goal of play money. Depends on the motivation.

Say you, hypothetically, were in a position that starting today you could work on sites 40 hours a week for the next year. Say you start from scratch, and do not take advantage of any of your existing sites. Given you knowledge, and that you would start right off with aged domains and some paid software helpers, how much do you think you could be earning at the end of the year? Just a wild guesstimate?

You really have no choice unless you can be the genius behind Twitter or YouTube. You have to spend and invest and find some help. For example, I may not like NB2, and the guberu marketing, but that doesn't mean someone else can't use it for the service and support and make some cash. Going it alone without support or services is tough going IMO. You just have to find the right tool, whether that is software, services or memberships. The competition is too fierce not to. The thing is if you are going to create an authority site of any merit it will take investment. If you don't have the big/great idea, you are left with building many niche type sites. You will need time and resources to build these. Yup. You really have no choice unless you can be the genius behind Twitter or YouTube. You have to spend and invest and find some help.
