I constantly get questions from my subscribers about how to launch Adsense-based sites where they want to build a $300-$500/month Adsense income source and wonder how many sites and pages they need to post and how long they will have to wait to achieve this goal.
I’m a big fan of Adsense, have it running on many of my sites but I am NOT a fan of making it your online income source for ANY site – there are just too many other, more lucrative options available to you.
You can sell related affiliate products and continuity programs where you get paid over and over again, you can co-create a product with someone else and share the profits, you can create your own information-based products – we cover each of these over at InfoMarketer’sZone
At the very least, you can create a valuable subscriber list that can prove to be an ongoing money maker for you in future months and years or you can build extra value in your business by having a loyal list of subscribers should you decide to sell your site off.
For example, a site that is making $300/month in Adsense may take you months to build – you could sell that site for something in the range of $3,000-$6,000 – but a site where you are showing $1,000 that comes from a mix of Adsense, affiliate promotions AND you have a list of a few thousands dedicated subscribers will fetch you 5-6 times more – at least!
INFO PUBLISHING PROFITS SYSTEM
Over at InfoMarketer’sZone we help online entrepreneurs who want to turn a few hundred dollars a month into thousands about the Information Publishing Profits System.
As part of that system, our students learn about a stratic system for pulling the MOST money out of a given market as possible.
Here’s the start of that strategy…
1. Develop content pages around keywords and opportunities/challenges you want to test within that marketplace. What you will quickly notice once you start driving traffic to a multi-page site is navigation tendancies which can tell you what topics people are more interested in
2. Quickly put together an attractive giveaway offer and get them signed up to a list where you can drip on them with solid content, observations and offers to further validate your market
3. Continue to develop more content each day – leverage your own experiences, attach a blog, link to related YouTube videos with your own comments, etc…that will get you more pages, more traffic, more reputation and eventually, more profits
Once you know how, you can put this system in place for a given niche market in a matter of 1-day and begin seeing results within hours getting a very solid reading on your market within 2-3 weeks.
At the end of that 2-3 week period you have the metrics that tell you exactly where to dedicate your time and effort, what specific topics and keywords to focus on, which products will sell and which won’t and how to drive even more subscribers and traffic into your sales funnel.
In short – you will quickly evolve from a shotgun internet marketer with mixed results into a finely-tuned, laser-focused entrepreneur who can quickly identify the biggest money-making opportunities in any niche market.
