Weekly Revenue Report and More

I am a little late with this weekly revenue report for my online earnings, specifically with adsense. But it is not because I have nothing to report, or that I'm too ashamed to say. I was just a bit busy building up my revenue sites.

Ok, so for last week, ie. week ending Oct 24, I made over $0.80. Yeah I know, almost nothing. But it's still something, and I'm thankful for that. The good thing is that I got this with very small traffic, so it really is just a matter of improving my organic traffic (ie. traffic from search engines). Also, I made money only on two days, the Sunday and Monday. I had hopes that the week would go well, but alas, it was not meant to be.

Anyway, I have planted some new revenue seeds. That is to say I have added new content to my sites. I believe they will do well in the long term. Right now I'm looking to see what further content I should create, and I'm also looking to get some new links to my site. Some good news I discovered the other day, is that someone actually linked to one of my articles all on their own. I guess I provided some useful content. I hope to have more like that, as that helps to get the site naturally ranked well, which is really how it should be in an ideal world.

Ok, it's back to work for me.

A Solid Way To Millions

I have been focusing on generating revenue relatively fast, to get to millionaire status in short order. However, I want all to understand that I'm not advocating get rich quick schemes. In fact I recommend putting in place some security measures, if you are able to, before or while you're pursuing the more fast tracked route.

What I'm talking about is putting in place a plan like what you'd find spoken of in books like The Millionaire Next Door, and The Automatic Millionaire. What is given in these books is a long term plan that just about anyone can implement that will put you on the path to millions. Compound interest is emphasised, so you know this is meant to take years, even decades. But don't let that deter you from implementing this kind of plan. It need not conflict with your more rapid plans. In a worst case scenario, your fast lane plans all fail, but you will still be able to retire rich.

Revenue Report

I think what I will do from now on is to give a report of how much I make each week. Maybe as things pick up, I will give a daily update. Mind you, I'll post updates to the blog more frequently than once a week, but in terms of revenue reporting, for now, that will be once per week.

So this is my first report. For the week ending yesterday (Oct 17), I made close to $0.70 (I use an approximate figure here just to be sure I don't violate any terms of use). This is from my niche site and from 2 clicks. I'm not sure what my traffic was like, but it was very low. I don't get much per day. Also, this is the first week that I've had adsense ads on my site.

I'm hoping to eventually make around $300 per month from this particular site. Please don't ask me what niche it is. For a number of reasons it is just not wise to give that info out. But clearly what I need to do is to increase my traffic. However, as I said in an earlier post, it needs to be targeted and unique web traffic. This I get from search engines. So what I really need to do is to get my site ranking better in the search results. The main way of doing this is by getting backlinks to my site. So for the week coming, I will be doing what I can to increase my backlinks. I might also add new content to that site.

I should also mention that I do have another site where I am trying to earn from adsense. But so far my success on that site has been very poor. However, I anticipate it will increase as I continue to develop the site. I'll give updates on this too.

How I Plan to Make Money Online

What I want to briefly outline in this post, are my plans for how I intend to make money online.

Essentially, I am initially focusing on adsense. Specifically google adsense. My aim is to have some websites that will be monetised with adsense. With sufficient web traffic to these sites, I should be able to benefit from the inevitable ad clicks to come.

Now I've tried adsense before, and I've never really had much success. Put it this way, google won't even send you a cheque if you don't make $100 or more, and I still have a long way to go before I get my first payment from google. What is different this time around, is that I've actually learnt how to make it effective. The key really is to get targeted and unique web traffic. For when you get this, then you have people coming to your site, looking for things that your site talks about, and since the ads which show up are related to the content of your site, then that makes it more likely that they will click on these ads.

What I've done so far, is set up a niche site, to target a very specific audience. I need to now get this site ranked on the first page of google when the search terms I'm targeting are searched for. Once I get this done, then I should see results. I've already made almost $0.5 from that site with one click. Will keep you updated.

Still Pursuing Millions

Time to resurrect this blog. I'm back folks!

I never had much success with the plans I had spoken of in my prior posts. However, in recent times, I have had renewed interest in pursuing my goal of generating income online, and ultimately to make millions from this. I believe I've found some sound ways. I have given up on the so called HYIPs.

What I've been studying really is search engine optimisation (SEO) and internet marketing. I have begun to get glimpse of success in this. Not that I've made any money to speak of (unless you're impressed with $0.46). But I have been pursuing a strategy to get a site ranked well in the search engines, and I can see that it is working. Therefore, with some more time and effort, I should be able to rank well enough to begin getting decent traffic from search engines.

I am endeavouring to be more successful in keeping you updated this time. I know that I'll be more motivated, as results will be coming in, and getting better with time. So stick with me, and watch me make lots of money online
