Beginnings of My Internet Empire

I recently decided on what ways to make money online I was going to focus on. Basically niche sites and maybe some “bum marketing 3.0″. Heh.

I call it that because everyone had been saying it was dead. I don’t think it’s dead at all, you just have to do things a little differently since Google changed it’s algorithms. Not that big a deal.

So far I’ve made less than $100 so I’m definitely in the beginning stages.  So why did I pick niche sites and “bum marketing 3.0″?

1. Passive Income.  I have a lazy streak from time to time. Since I accept and love myself … I know that this is inevitable. I would rather do the hard work and initial time investment, and then reap the benefits while I did minimal maintenance. This way, I could reap the benefits long term, while I sit around for weeks at time just answering comments, eating Smores,  and watching Anime and Fraggle Rock on Netflix lol.

2. It’s one of the easiest things that I feel comfortable doing. Some things are just a waste of time for where I am at. With either method, you kind a have a map. Or, I like to liken it to a recipe. The outcome only changes if you deviate from the recipe. Sometimes this is good and sometimes this is bad. :/ Most of the time, I like to do the exact recipe the first time I do it, then later I will deviate and test ingredients.

3. Later, I can flip the niche sites. I plan to build them up and then sell them as I see fit. I love the idea of a lump sum payday!

4. They’re  a little quicker in going. Authority blogs can take a long time (6 months +). So can product creation if you’re trying to do a high quality job. With niche sites and bum marketing things can happen fairly quickly ( a few weeks – 2 months). Which is far better to me than potentially a year.

Other than the niche sites I do have 3 “Authority Blogs” that I am wanting to building up. I have 3 loves, hence 3 blogs (this being one of them). Not everyone is going to be interested in my personal life, so I keep that all in one spot. People that are interested in my personal life may not be interested in making money online and so on… you get the point. That, and I have the option to really test tactics and strategies as I see fit.

In the future I would like to do the ebook thing. Production creation, etc. I do enjoy writing. It’s like once I start I can’t stop! I love the idea of people buying that work and enjoying it, being inspired by it, and then sharing it with others. Mmmmm Goosebumps.

Right now I’m up to 4 niche websites and 0 bum marketing campaigns. I wanted to get the niche sites up and running and bringing in traffic before I went that route. I would rather get the more difficult and time consuming projects out of the way first and then do the simpler stuff later, when it’s not so imperative that I not be lazy.
