Passive Income

Building passive streams of income has been somewhat of a passion of mine for the past twelve months. I have spent more hours than I care to admit researching, reading, trying and failing. I have tried writing for eHow, Bukisa, and Today dot com (biggest scam ever). I have tried article marketing via Ezinearticles, lens building with Squidoo and hubbing it up over at HubPages.

Nothing has been as exciting for me as Commission Ritual.

In the past few weeks, I have built six new niche sites. A couple target Christmas stuff, while the rest are targeting normal everyday crap that people buy. The thing I like best about the Ritual is that it focuses primarily on real products. This is actually what I thought internet marketing was when I began my journey. I never even knew informational products existed.

It is so much easier to get ranked for ‘ice cream makers’ (not my niche, btw) than it is to have to constantly battle another internet marketer in a Clickbank niche. Even relatively obscure Clickbank niches are sometimes impossible to crack into the top 10 spots of Google. Another benefit of my new strategy is that I won’t have to constantly pump out articles to maintain my rankings. One or two posts a month should be sufficient to keep traffic flowing to my sites.

So far, my results are pretty decent. Here are the rankings for my new niche sites:

1. #11
2. #11
3. #14
4. #19
5. N/A
6. N/A

As you can see, these sites are doing fine for being only a few days/weeks old. In fact, site #1 has actually produced a few sales already. Too bad this was a test niche and the commissions are so low. One thing that I have started doing is integrating Chitika ads into every new niche site. Say what you want about them, these little ads can create some serious clicks. The best part is that you can use them along with Adsense, or any other CPC type ads.

Allyn Hayne, who runs my favorite video blog, likes to say that if you put Chitika ads on an ugly blog, she becomes the prettiest girl around and really attracts the clicks. How right you are Allyn…how right you are

Well enough of my ramblings. I am off to start another new site. Did I mention I found 30 domain names in just over 2 hours that I want to buy? As soon as I catch up on the domains I got last week, I am going to grab a ton more.

By the way, if you use this link, and the code ‘geo199‘, you can buy a dot com domain name for $1.99. Pretty cool. Too bad it is limited to one per customer.

Later all.

If you have not picked up Commission Ritual yet, you can get a 7 day trial for only $4.95 by following this link!
