Over the weekend, I completed a preliminary 5 month analysis of my business endeavors and I have decided that I really need to work smarter and harder to accomplish my first year goal of $5000 a month.  To accomplish this, I must cut my expenses and really, really, really apply what I’ve learned thus far.

To kick off this goal, I plan to produce 1001 articles by January 1, 2009.

This gives me about  7 months to really crank out quality content. I am going to be an article writing machine and my plan is to produce 4.5 articles a day or 143 articles a month.

Right now, I average about 2-3 articles per day (not including weekends). With my new plan, I will double this amount and create even more articles.

I will then use my produced  to create 1-2 more niche sites (a month) and make some affiliate sales using bum marketing techniques.

I’m fired up folks and am getting started on this plan right away. I will definitely keep  you posted about my progress.

Wish me luck! I do believe that I can do it! The pressure is on. Will you join me?

This is a great idea based around the bum marketing method. If you don’t know what the bum marketing method is, go to http://www.bummarketingmethod.com.

You’ll basically set up a site to sell articles to people in batches of 35, based around a particular product on Clickbank, Commission Junction, or some other affiliate network.

For instance, let’s say an affiliate wants to promote the newest and greatest diet eBook on Clickbank or the hottest supplement on Commission Junction, and they want articles for promotion of that product, but they are lazy or untalented and can’t write worth a darn. Well, you could easily set up a service specifically catering to people who are affiliate marketers. You would write articles for them and give them PLR rights to the articles. That is, you would give them the right to edit or change the articles but retain the right to sell it to others. If you choose to sell them full rights, then you would have to charge more per batch.

For instance, let’s say someone wants to purchase a batch of ten articles where they retain all rights. You could charge them $1,500, and give them 10 original and keyword-rich articles that they could use to promote the Clickbank product. On the other hand, let’s say that someone wants to only pay $15.00 ($1.00 an article). Then sell them PLR rights only.

You could then sell 10-15 of these PLR packages a month instead, and quadruple your profits.

Because sites are always needing fresh content and articles and businessmen and women always need material for article marketing, newsletters, etc., you should find a great market for these sorts of article packages. The right articles and commitment could really make you a lot of money!

A few weeks ago, I was conducting some niche medical research for a friend of mine with a chronic illness, and I came across a Made for Adsense site that was plastered with Google Adsense ads and had about two pages of non-relevant content.

I was pissed to say the least.

It was obvious that this website owner was only trying to make money off his bogus site and was not the least bit concerned about the relevancy of his content or his user’s overall user experience. He was out for the fast buck and didn’t care about his reputation as a website owner at all.

Well, I immediately clicked out of his site, bypassing any Adsense ads ( I didn’t want him to make one red cent off my clicking) and then found another site with relevant site and immediately bookmarked it so that I could return later. I then passed on the word about this other relevant site.

The whole experience caused me to think about the importance of quality content and how certain website owners give other owners a bad name.

The bogus owners probably don’t realize that quality content is king and that they should always provide the best content ever. After all, that is what draws loyal customers and get you the real sales. Instead they are out for the money. What they don’t realize is that they’re leaving bucks on the table.

Consider this scenario. You are a site owner who writes plagiarized material and then throws it on a blank page with a ton of ads to make a few dollars. Yes, you might get 10 exit clicks amounting to a whopping .40 from every visitor. However, if you had provided relevant content, you could have gotten 1-2 product sales from your recommended products. After all, visitors are more likely to purchase products from owners who provide them with quality content and solid information. They view these owners as honest and take their recommendations more seriously.They don’t just click to get off those bogus sites full of ads screaming “give me money”.So, my lesson today folks is to always, alway, always provide your visitors with a good user experience. It doesn’t matter if you have one visitor or a gazillion.

By doing this, you’ll appease your human readers, build loyalty and will be handsomely rewarded for your efforts.

As for that other site Made for Adsense site, I checked it today and it is now deindexed and I say “Good riddance sucker“. I guess Google caught up with your dumb butt and slapped you silly!

Hooray for Google slapping.
