Passive Income

Last month, I was able to complete ten niche Sniper sites. Each of these sites have about 5 to 10 pages of content and are currently being monetized by Clickbank products and Adsense. Even though I had fun creating these Sniper sites, in August I am shifting my focus back to writing articles. I will post about my progress once the month is over.

During July, I created approximately 50 articles in addition to the articles written for my niche sites. Each of these additional articles were published at ezinearticles with backlinks to my niche sites. Even though some of the articles are only a few weeks old, I am seeing a decent amount of traffic to my landing pages. I am also seeing a few clicks; which makes me even happier.

My buddy over at Passive Family Income, is challenging himself to create an additional 100 articles on eHow this month. While I can appreciate all the hard work and effort that this will take, I am concerned about his lack of diversification; with respect to revenue sharing sites. I understand the trust factor associated with eHow. They pay on time every month, rank extremely well in the search engines and display nicely targeted ads for the visitors to click see. Unfortunately, after my today dot com disaster, I will never put too much trust in one place again.

Don’t get me wrong. I love eHow and will keep writing for them. I simply want to diversify my online empire a bit. I would hate to spend hundreds of hours creating quality content only to have a site go under leaving me to start over again. I am so lazy that this would cause me to quit completely.

August Articles Goals

Currently, I have approximately 25 articles created on InfoBarrel and 5 or 10 on HubPages. During the month of August, I have decided to challenge myself to create 50 articles for each of these sites (for a total of 100 articles). While most people elect to use Infobarrel to create backlinks for hubpages, I will be doing the exact opposite. I will use HP to drive traffic to my articles on IB. It is simply a matter of choice, but I think IB is the site of the future.

In order to complete this goal, I will need to create 3 to 4 articles a day, each and every day. Like everyone else, I will probably try and bust out 10 or 20 over the next few days to relieve the pressure of completing this goal. Unlike the short articles you can get away with on eHow, IB and HP require longer, higher quality articles. Additionally, you can only have a couple self-serving links. I like this since it helps to keep the neighborhood safer in the eyes of Google.

Since these sites actually use the author’s adsense account code, you receive a higher amount of revenue for every click you receive. My goal is to have each article earn $1 per month on average. After a few months, this should add another $100 a month to my passive income streams. I will keep you posted on my progress during the course of the month.
