Building My Money Earning Sites – Niche Website Update Part 5

May 13, 2013 / / 25 comments

money earning sitesI’ve got to admit that I’m slightly frustrated.  Ever since the Google penalty was removed from my niche website, I was happy to see it go from as low as Number 40 and stabilized between No. 16 and 20.  But then over April it hasn’t really moved too much beyond that …

Obviously the goal with building these money earning sites is to make some money!  With Google Adsense as my major monetization stream for this site (for now), I’m not going to receive nearly as much action on the bottom of SERP 2 as I would if I were at the No. 1 spot.  That’s why cracking the Top 10 spots by getting to the first page of Google and eventually the number 1 spot is absolutely imperative if I want to see any amount of significant income.

And so that leads me back to the question of “what to do”.    While that may seem pretty straight-forward, I’ve had some experiences that have left me a little puzzled.  Here’s what’s been happening:

Building My Money Earning Sites – Niche Website Update Part 4

April 3, 2013 / / 20 comments

money earning sitesWhen last we left, the latest of my money earning sites seemed to be lost in the desolate wastelands of ~ No. 300 in the Google search results.  No one was ever going to find my website, and it was surely never going to make any money!  Obviously I did something wrong, and Google wanted me to know.  Thankfully, I was able to get a clue as to what my sin was and what I should do to correct it.

Here’s what I did to get my niche site back on track.  If you’d like to read previous chapters, follow the links at the bottom of this post.

Niche Website Project Part 2 – The Unveiling

February 25, 2013 / / 39 comments

niche websiteThank you for being patient with me and returning this week to see the unveiling of my niche site. If you’re just now joining me, then you should know that last week I talked about how I was finally going to get to work on the next of my extra income ideas, and that idea was to create a niche website (a smaller and more concentrated website that is built around a very specific keyword).

If you follow the blog carnivals, then chances are you may have come across it already. But in case you haven’t, without any further ado, here is a snapshot of my niche site project: Read more

Starting the Next of My Extra Income Ideas – Building a Niche Website

February 18, 2013 / / 35 comments

Extra Income IdeasWith P2P investing off the table as one of my extra income ideas, I got right back on the horse and turned my attention towards a new type of side project: Building a niche website.

For those of you who are not familiar with what a niche site is, it’s generally a smaller type of website that focuses on a very specific topic. If its full of good content, then they can be of great value to readers who are interested in that subject. Chances are that you’ve probably typed a very detailed search term into Google and one of the first results that you’ve clicked on was a niche site that someone created.

P2P Investing Denied! What Should be My Next Passive Income Ambition?

January 16, 2013 / / 44 comments

P2P investingAnd so it was over before it even began …

The tires on my P2P investing (peer to peer) efforts quickly went flat last week when I discovered some very important information.

To bring everyone up to speed, I had wanted to start off 2013 by adding a new form of passive income to my money design. Last year blogging income and dividend stocks were valuable additions. This year out of the available choices I had listed, P2P investing was the one that stood out. It intrigued me in a number of ways:

• Potential higher net rates of return than a stock market index fund

• A steady stream of interest income

• Access to the earnings before retirement age (helping the early retirement efforts)

• Potentially lower risk (if you pick borrowers with good credit)

• You get your principal back (in theory …)

• Diversification from the stock market
