Retire on a $1 a day

More on the power of niche websites from professional blogger and internet marketer Gary Conn

"However, it isn’t difficult to get around 100 visits per day to a blog, now is it? Seriously, a good rule of thumb to live by is understanding that 100 visits to your blog should make you about $1 dollar. If you can maintain that level then you can soon retire and quit your day job."
(SNIP)
"A few months ago, my goal was to make $1 dollar per day per blog. Today, some of these blogs have grown to make over $4 dollars per day. One blog makes about $40 dollars per day. Another blog makes almost $100 dollars per day. Other blogs (not shown) are starting to reach the $1 dollar per day mark.

The above screen shot doesn’t even show HALF of the blogs reported in my daily Adsense report. It only shows 15 blogs. I have another 85 or so on the list that make between five cents to $3 dollars. All in all I make anywhere between $150 dollars per day to $350 dollars per day across the board. And that is with Google Adsense alone." Read the complete post.


Admittedly, building 50 to 100 websites with high quality content is not an overnight job. My experience is that working three to four hours a day I can set up a site with several pages of good content in about a week or ten days, depending how long I go without checking my bloglines account.

Gary Conn's approach is a long-term method, probably a year to get 50 sites up and running for most people. Even using free article sites it still takes time to gather content. While there is good content available, there is also a lot of bad, so the editing process takes time.

Free Content Directory

When it comes to the Web, content is king. Nobody is coming to your page to look at links and banner ads. Viewers can pretty quickly determine if a site contains what they are looking for: useful information.

It doesn't matter if your site is about making money, dating, bird watching, girl watching or the life cycle of the arctic toad, the product is the same information. Knowing that, you might think "Well gee, I don't know anything about body building, so I guess I can't start Get Buff.com." Or, maybe you're thinking, "I know everything there is to know about getting a body like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but writing isn't by strong suit, and I can't afford to pay a writer to fill Get Buff.com with articles."

Well thanks to the information superhighway you can build a website on any subject and experts will write free content for you.

Think of the opportunities this opens up. Without the need for expertise, writing skill or the time to write, you can build dozens of sites on just about anything.

Article directories make this all possible. These sites are depositories of articles written by experts in their field that are free for webmasters to use. Now you are probably asking yourself 'why would anyone write articles for free?' Simple, publicity and backlinks to their own webpage.

The deal is you can use their articles for free, but you must include the author and resource box listed at the bottom of the articles, including links.

I hate cliches, but this is a win-win arrangement. You get fresh, free authoritative content and the authors get more exposure. Think about this: say I'm a relationship expert with a website. Now I could write an article on say, oh, 'The Top Ten Reasons Men Cheat.' If I publish it on my site my regular visitors will read it and hopefully it will pick up some search engine traffic.

But what if I put the same article on a free directory and a 1000 webmasters post it on their web pages? Every time one of their visitors reads it and gets down to the end where there is a link back to my site, I have a potential new viewer.

Discover How to Create Wealth Writing Articles

By Jo Mark-Guest Author

Making money is different than creating wealth. You can make money rather quickly and spend it just as fast. But wealth is accumulated over a longer time frame and is used for retirement purposes or passed on to future generations. For that reason, writing articles are the perfect tool to build and create wealth.

If you write an article today and submit it to 50 large directories, it is almost certain that it will still be in circulation (and working for you) three or four years from now. Your Adword campaigns, along with other advertising that you use will stop working the second you stop sending them checks. And that is another benefit to writing articles, you can do it for free!

Given that information, you might ask, ‘How does that create wealth?’ It will create wealth through the power of compounding. If you write just one article today, you will generate traffic to your website or to products that you are recommending. Over a 3 month period, that article may attract 40 page views from one article directory. By submitting it to 50 directories, your article may be seen by 2000 visitors. Not bad for one article.

If you write one article every day, the numbers are staggering. Over that same 3 month period, you could generate about 180,000 page views. When you consider that these articles will continue to draw in viewers for years, the compounding effect can bring you traffic and income for many years to come and create wealth for the long term.

For that reason, do not date your articles. Write them so that they are just as relevant next year as they are today. Of course, this may not be possible in all niches. By writing in a timeless fashion, you can create wealth beyond your wildest dreams.
