Passive Income

I finally completely my first sniper site tonight. I am somewhat happy with it as it is my first true attempt at a niche website. One of the first things I did, after installing a slick new Wordpress theme and related PlugIns, was to install a stat tracking code at the footer of the site’s template.

For my Sniper Empire, I have elected to use StatCounter since it is so easy to use. While many people choose to use Google Analytics, I have decided to take a different path.

After only four days, it is very apparent that this first niche site will receive pretty decent traffic once it gets established a bit more. Using the techniques I learned from One Week Marketing, I was able to get this new site indexed in Google within 12 hours. Additionally, it ranks on the first page (#9) for my main keyword phrase already.

Since I wanted to work my way into this whole keyword sniper idea very slowly, the keyword phrase I selected only has 40,000 competing pages. Each month it receives approximately 5,000 searches, so my odds of being ranked number one are pretty good. Additionally, there are a few related keywords that get between 750 and 3,000 searches a month that I have worked into my published posts as well.

My goal for this Sniper Site #1 is $10 per month. Doing some quick math, this would mean that, after taking out the cost of renewing the domain name each year, it should earn me $110 per year, or $9.15 per month. Now I just need to create 55 more of these little sites

Sniper Site #2 is in a more competitive environment. Getting ranked on the first page will take some effort. I think I am going to tackle that project tomorrow night!

What you do guys think? How would you increase your monthly earnings to a decent amount?
