10k A Month Goal - Monetization Options

I am almost ready with setting the 200 sites up. I installed wordpress on 150 of them and at the others I will use a script I found at affiliatestore.com

With wordpress I will use of course Google Adsense and my own tool ABB (affiliateblogbuilder) but I will also use the wide range of topics to match cpa offers with the sites. Fi Azoogleads has an offer for free baby products which pays $1.25 per email submit. One of the 200 sites is a baby site so at that site I will include this offer.  In total they have well over 350 offers so I am sure that most of the offers i can place in a matching website.

CPA Networks I am aware of are Azoogleads, Maxbounty and Neverblueads. I will look for more networks when I am ready to start creating content for these sites. Maybe use a bit of the affiliateblog ideas by creating posts about affiliateoffers and mix that with a bit more general posts about the topics.

A lot of work ahead…. :) and the problem is we have in spite of the month June which is normally slow a lot of orders for our mug business so I need to juggle with time again.

Squidoo Traffic - Set and Forget?

A long time ago (last year :)) I build several lenses (pages) at Squidoo.com and set them to forget. I had heared a lot about the love of Google for Squidoo and thought it was worth a shot and try to see if I could earn a bit from squidoo.

I did but it was not that much…i made a lens about dutch carinsurence called Goedkoopste Autoverzekering

I made a comparison about several car insurance offers and had affilaite id’s with the offers. The money earned in a year? $380 .. a nice amount for about two hours but I guess it could have been a lot more. Why? Because i didn’t build any links to my Squidoo page and had it set and forget just to see if it would rank out of it’s own.

So I’ll try a lil casestudy and see if I can build the traffic to squidoo by adding some more links to the page and see what it does with earnings and traffic.

Traffic last 7 days as of June 11th : 7 visits

PS if you’re dutch and are looking for Goedkoopste Autoverzekering I do recommand visit my lens at squidoo to get a comparison and ask a free quote

ABB Sample Websites

It’s almost 2 months ago I created a software tool to import products from CJ.com into wordpress. I created some sample sites at

The main reason why I used wordpress as a backend is because i like the way it’s structured. The tool lets you search in the catalog of all products listed by merchants that are joined at cj.com. That’s about 60 million (yes that’s million) products. With it you can make a lot of targeted niche sites that do well in the seach engines (as it’s wordpress based) and with the right themes it looks noting like a blog.

I have been bussy with some bugs that were in it and most should be ok now. Some minnor issues with the latest version of WP 2.5.1 but all should function

I need some time to create more sample sites but i do want to do that as the main reason for me building this tool was to make sites myself but now it’s so time consuming with customers asking questions that i haven’t had much time to use it myself.

Video and Affiliate Marketing

Do you know the feeling that you feel you are on to something but get a bit like “nahh couldn’t be that simple…I should buy a gazilion ebooks from all sorts of guru’s first and they should tell me it works” …well I wanna share something that I feel is going to be big and drasticly changing.
One of the things I did lately was buying some domainnames with the word video in it. And altho I am swamped with all the things I still want to do it is high on my priority list to get some content on them using a free program to record video’s from your screen. You can get that from this place Camstudio
The plan is to demonstrate the order proces or filling in a form at a lead generation which in turn pays me money as I am an affiliate for them. Why?…Google has bought Youtube and now they changed the resultpage displaying video, images and books on the page. I haven’t seen it yet as google nethelands isn’t that far yet but it will come.

If you search for a term like mortgage application in “old Google” it will display 11 milion results…even with my squidoo experiment I do not dare to dream to come in the top 100 let alone be on the first page. But what if you take that same phrase and google-video it…it will return 51 results.
I must confess that it is something I knew already for a couple of months but not after the news that Google altered the resultspage it’s haunting me to get some video’s done.

It’s almost like being in 1998 again..start a website about a topic, follow some basic rules and you are almost garenteed to be in the first page of Altavista, hotbot or Yahoo (google wasn’t around back then as far as I remember)

A video is not something very difficult…it can be a powerpointpresentation or just some photo’s in sequence…after some video’s you will get the hang of it and it will become more easier.

There are too many keywords and I can’t make a video om them myself so this is why I thought I should share it with you as well as a kick in my but to get moving :)
