How is it done

No Idea…. I’ve been doing small bits on the web for ages now, a white label site that made just enough sales to cover its cost, a few personal blogs…. I’ve never really covered my hosting costs! So I’ve not tuned a profit, 0$ per year, but lets be honest here – I never really put in the time to make any.  But from Today that stops. I plan to break the cycle and spend 3 hours a day building my empire. Up until now I’ve lurked in forums, read how others have made it big, built a system from nothing, read the different way it has been done etc etc. I’m sure you have all read the same. Well I know I can make it work, I just need to get off my butt. I may not make a million, but it will be fun. Now I want to try it in a slightly differently way to thers, I want to come up with an idea a day, research it, plan it out and execute it. Just 1 idea a day and have it live in only 3 hours. That’s right 365 ideas, and hopefully a minimum of 365 web sites - its I can do more in 3 hours all the better. Most will be completely useless; they may never even pay for themselves. But each will teach me something and perhaps you too. If you’re reading this and think, great I will just copy what you do – sorry but that’s not how it works. I will write each day on how I’m doing. But you won’t see the end sites, just how it went, what I used and I will try to give some stats….

Anyway; sounds easy, just one a day - trust me this will be hard for me. The thing about the net and me is it easy to get side tracked. As I sit here, I have 3 machines running, napster going in the background, emails poping in, telephone ringing and two notepads full of ideas…. It’s taken me 45 minutes to get this far – I must focus!

I need to break this cycle and start afresh.
I’ve signed up to a mentoring program via the warrior forum. It is for one month with James Brausch and comes with 3 tools that have been on my list for a while. Its starts in April and I need to be up and running by then.

 

Today’s Idea

Ok so today’s idea is a way of streamlining my 3 hours.
1st thing I’ve turned off the other computers and turned down napster

I’ve cleared my desk, its all piled on the floor behind me. That can be sorted out in my *free* time.

I need tools to make life easy, right just what is my ideal tool list?
I’m guessing – yes guessing my 3 hours will be something like this:-

 

A typical Day

1. Pick an idea/product – (I think I need a folder to keep ideas in)
2. Do some keyword research to see how good it is, if rejected go back to 1
3. If it’s a product set up the required accounts (clickbank, paypal, etc)
4. If it’s a product write a sales page
5. Get some articles or other content
6. Generate a site or blog
7. Choose a domain name, register it and point the name servers
8. Upload the site/blog
9. Write an article and submit it.
10. Write an article for the previous 10 sites until I run out of time

Ok, this list maybe completely wrong, I will know tomorrow. But that’s how I see tomorrow panning out.

So I think I need the following:-

My virtual list of products

A way of storing ideas and leads: My notepad and a few word documents will do for now.

Keyword research tool: I need a tool that can find me niches, Allow me to compare different ratios and generate keywords in styles I can use on sites and  in adword campaigns.
– keyword elite?

A way to write and check the sales page

- I have Glyphius

A source of articles and content: Need a list of article services and maybe some scripts to suck them down on to my computer or directly into the site? Do I want to be able to rewrite them? Maybe a plr membership site would be better?
- Completely lost here…. By hand for now

 

A way of packaging up blogs. Will do that by hand for the moment, I will create an empty blog and a few scripts. Need to think about automating it.
- By hand

A way of packaging up site – I will either use a simple set of temples for the one pagers  or rssg for multi-page sites.
- By hand or rssg.

I need a nice way to choose domain names.
- I already have Nemeas

A quick way of registry domains Experience shows that’s this needs to be based not just on price, but how long it takes to replicate though DNS and support etc.
-registeryfly
-godaddy

A hosting service. As I plan to have many sites of all different sizes I need unlimited hosting.
-hostgator

Easy way to upload.
-by hand using drag and drop ftp

A way of writing articles and submitting them.
- write by hand
- I already have artemispro

- by hand to places like ezinearticles

 

Summary of today’s Actions

Used Nemeas to choose a reseller hosting name – score 159!
Got a reseller hosting plan at -hostgator – used this code (hgc25) to get a $9.94 off.

Joined Clickbank.

Add an extra alias to my paypal account. 

Wrote this post.

Running total: -$425 

Sorry out of time!
