$50 Into $1 A Day – Third Day

April 21st, 2008

Another 45 minutes spend on developing this site, mrsasuperbug.info, for the challenge. It’s getting very close to begin the link development process to get this baby ranking in search engines. The logo still needs to be worked on because it is to difficult to read but I just wanted something there to start out with. The following is the work that I’ve finished today and the future work needing to be done for the site development step.

Finished Work

Adsense
Meta Tags
All the Pages of Content

Privacy Policy - Done

Reader’s To Do List

Todays list of thinks you need to do to begin your journey to $1 a day mini content site.

Find a Design
A very simple way to get a design for your mini content site is by using one of the free web site templates at oswd.org.

Add the content
Hopefully, your writer has finished your articles for your site. If so, begin adding it to the site.

Make a logo
Remember it doesn’t have to be the nicest or coolest, it just has to fit into the design of the site. If you need a program to design your logo, I would recommend downloading “Greenbox Logo Maker” at glowleaf.net/tools. Also you should read his blog. I just recently found it and enjoyed his articles.

That pretty much covers today. After work, I might have a little be more time and decided to finish the rest of Future Work, tonight.

$50 Into $1 A Day – First Day

April 19th, 2008

With a limited amount of time to get the site developed, promoted, indexed in search engines, and earn the income, it is time to get to work. Take a look at the site so far. Not to shabby for only spending a total of 58 minutes to get it to this point. It might not be the best design but from experience I know this basic design will do for this type of challenge.

Coded a simple design
Created the logo
Added the first page of content
Statcounter

The development part of the site is almost done with a few things needing to be done. I still need to finish the meta tags, adding the other pages, sitemap, and the privacy policy. After those things are done, my time will be used on getting backlinks to get the site ranking and earning $1 a day. The coolest part amount mini content sites are the little amount involved developing the site. Most of the time is spent promoting the site.

Do you ever thought it could be this easy? Well… it is! I’ve developed many mini content sites for the past couple of years and found that even if they are small simple sites they can still rank in search engines and bring in a nice amount of monthly income.

$50 Into $1 A Day

April 18th, 2008

This might sound like a simple challenge for experienced Internet Publisher but I know newcomers need the guidance on how to develop their first $1 a day website on a limited budget ($50). Knowing how to invest with $50 will allow them to smartly invest $100, $500, $1,000 or even more.

By following my challenge on turning “$50 into $1 a day”, you will learn the SEO methods used to develop a simple mini content site into a passive income source. Most of the methods for the developing and promoting will be cheap or free allowing anyone to follow in my footprints on this challenge.

Rules

For the rules, the total amount of cash that can be invested on this challenge is $50, excluding the hosting. The only link allowed is from my blog in these posts trying to help you see the development process; however, none of my other network of sites can aid in this challenge. My deadline will be 3 months from now on June 18th. The only reason this challenge needs at lease 3 months is because it takes Google awhile to get it indexed and ranking for the selected keywords. I’ll admit this is definitely a drawback on developing sites and earning money with SEO.

Details

With a budget of $50, it will cover buying the content, domain, and promoting. Here is the breakdown of the money spent so far.

Topic: MRSA Superbug
Domain: www.mrsasuperbug.info - $1.19
Content: Outsourced Articles - $22.10

Total: $23.29

Just with the domain and content, they already used almost half of my budget so on this challenge I only have $26.71 for advertising this mini content site. That will be plenty of money seeing that normally I don’t spend anything on advertising.

Common Questions

Why did I choice this topic, MRSA Superbug?
I was watching Dr. Phil on TV and they had an episode on MRSA Superbug. It got me thinking about developing a site on that topic so I started researching the keyword and found that it only had 114,000 competitors on Google. Then I checked the amount of searches and noticed it got a decent amount of searches a month.

When did I decide to do this challenge?
It was April 6th when reading Jon Waraas post on “$150 A Day Arbitrage Challenge” and it reminded me about my first challenge gameoftheday.net. My knowledge since that challenge has increase immensely and I wanted to share it to others.

What makes this challenge different than others?
The main difference is that the main goal for this challenge is obtainable by any newcomer to Internet Marketing. The second difference it requires very little amount of money to succeed. The third difference is at the bottom of each post there will be a To Do List for my readers.

Reader’s To Do List

Stated previously, here is a to do list for anyone that wants to test and try the methods throughout this challenge.

Find A Source Of Income
Adsense, Yahoo Publisher Network, NeverBlueAds, anyone of those would work.

Research a topic for your mini content site
Type in your topic in Google and check the competitors for that niche. Then use this Keyword Tool to check the amount of searches per month.

Buy a Domain
After you found your topic/niche for your mini content site, you need to write or outsource someone to write your articles, which will include 1 (500 word intro article) and 4 (500 word intro articles).

I would highly recommend to get started on your To Do List, today. Don’t Wait. Start Now! If you have any comments, request, or questions, just let me know. I want this challenge to help as much people as possible.

LG Scoop™ Citrus (Alltel)

March 18th, 2008

For the past two year, I’ve been using an old phone that would resend text messages over and over, not receive phone calls, and the screen would freeze up when getting new text massages. So yesterday my wife got me a new citrus colored LG Scoop for an anniversary gift. I would recommend this phone to anyone because it has worked great so far. If your thinking about getting a new phone, you should really take a look at this one. below is a link to information about the LG Scoop.
