I do not, and have no plans to, do this full time. I make enough to satisfy my goals. Unless you plan on having a flagship ship site that will make hundreds of dollars a day in advertising or Adsense, you will have to build a shitload of sites. That’s just the way it goes. Follow the blueprint from PLRPro for making $2-6K a month. Read Griz’s site. Link is on the sidebar. Those are viable and honest methods for making the kind of money you need to for full-time IM with niche site marketing.

There are tons of methods. But the simple shit still work. Find the keywords that you don’t have to compete hard for. Go to Court’s site (sidebar) and get his keyword report. Build a blog with some posts wrapped around that keyword. Promote the site. Rinse and repeat. It will be boring and mind numbing. In a few months the first of your blogs will start pulling visitors and clicks. I have Blogger blogs that took/take 6 months before they do anything. I build, promote and move to the next. Some work out. Most do not. Those that do I circle back and add more content or backlinks.

Hi Splork, read your blog after finding it a while back, then returned here again after seeing one of your forum posts (seems we are involved in a couple of the same things).
I’m now doing IM full time after getting over going on the merry go round of courses, memberships etc (well almost), making a bit of money but not where i want to be yet. I expected to take about a year to get a decent income from niche websites.
What you do in this post seems to be what is currently in PGB, just wondered if you are doing this full time and making a reasonable living out of it (inspiration). I’ve only got a couple of sites at the moment but hear of people with a lot of sites not making much and there seems to be a endless variety of ways to make money online but i seem to have settled on the same as in your post,

Thanks

eBookGuy, I do a lot of rewriting. If I build an XSP niche site it is almost all rewritten content. If I build a blog, it depends. If it’s a WordPress blog I might use some of my own content that I’ve rewritten to get it started with the hopes that I can put it into the Article Marketing Automation system and start pulling on-topic articles. I control the articles so they have to be rewritten and pretty well done.

Sometimes I discover a keyword I’m interested but have no interest in writing about it so I’ll grab some articles from Ezine Articles. I may write a short intro. I may use Frank’s LinkLuv builder to add something different.

Mostly I’ve discovered that backlinks are the most important.

Thanks for reading.

Great blog
Do you rewrite PLR articles or how do you overcome duplicate content problems.

Thanks

Thanks for taking the time for such a detailed answer. I didn’t know if you quit mentioning them b/c maybe the quality went down or something. I’ll definitely check them out, b/c I am in fact pretty broke lately. Thanks!

Hey Karl. Thanks for reading.

I stopped subscribing to IGR about a year ago. I never paid a dime for it as I simply wrote an article each month. They have an neat deal where if you write an article and it gets accepted they will reimburse your monthly fee.

I thought the quality was pretty good and they have that database of extra articles that you can draw from as well that is fairly well. I just have so much content and decided that PLRPro was more useful that I just got tired of *having* to come up with an original article each month. Which is kind of funny because I write a ton of stuff each week. It was just maintenance and content overload.

But if you need PLR it’s not bad. If you’re strapped for cash you definitely want to check it out as you can write an article and get your membership free. Unless they changed that policy.

Hope that helps.

Hi Splork,

Thanks for this post. I’ve enjoyed your stuff ever since I started reading (over a year ago, but less than two–I think). This one’s especially helpful. And you’re more than just a “decent” writer. I enjoy your writing as much as anyone’s (and better than most) online.

Question: do you still recommend InfoGoRound? I THINK I first read about it on this site (although maybe it was Court’s?) and may go and join it. Is it still worth checking out these days?
