October was a busy month and I'm going to have to make some changes to my original plan.  I've accomplished all my content and link building goals for sites 1-3, added some content to site 4, but haven't really worked on sites 5 and 6 like I wanted.  My earnings for the month added up to a bit over $570, a good 58% increase.  Hopefully this upward trend will continue. Whoever said that women are better at multitasking than men has clearly never met me.  I'm horribly, shockingly, appallingly bad at juggling more than 2 or 3 projects at once.  It's probably because I'm an analytical person, but I need schema and processes in place before I can really concentrate on a project and get things done.  I can spend 10+ hours one day just doing A, then another day doing B, and another day doing C.  However if I have to do all three simultaneously, then it's like my brain just implodes or something. So I need to alter my plan. My revised plan is still the old plan... details >>>

The last couple of days have been pretty busy as I wanted to kick off October with a good start towards building a passive income online.  My current focus is to really build up on affiliate sales, particularly with Amazon and Overstock in time for the holidays and Christmas shopping season. Despite the low commission rates from these affiliate programs, they are great for generating passive income websites.  First off, both Amazon and Overstock are trusted websites that most online shoppers are familiar with and I can usually get a conversion ratio around 15%, compared to the typical 1-3% of most affiliate products.  But most important of all, they both put buyers in a browsing mood.  I could target a low competition product keyword that only pays out $1 commissions, but there's also a very good chance the buyer will also buy a bunch of other unrelated crap like electronic equipment upwards of $500.   And since people don't tend to order just one thing when they... details >>>

My first venture into earning a passive income online started on a rainy night in my dorm room over three years ago. I had heard about how people were making millions online with adsense by targeting high paying niches and just writing about stuff like yeast infections and mesothelioma. So I set up a couple blogger blogs and wrote feverishly for hours every day for a month. My earnings at the end of that month didn't break $5 and my dreams of jetting around the world while the money rolled in were quickly dashed. My baby network of sites was abandoned, never to be posted on again. Even though I didn't actively work on building a passive income after my first attempt, I still frequented various internet marketing forums and collected a nice $100 check from big G every year from my blogs. In January 2009, I finally came to my senses and decided that my plan to major in actuarial math and find a job crunching numbers as an Excel monkey for an insurance company was pure... details >>>
