Creating a proper work schedule is what I feel is the most important step with making money using Google Adsense, or any type of internet marketing for that matter. You need to set clear goals and a realistic work timeline. Your expectations also must be brought into check as the results are not immediate. If you are looking at producing a lot of microsites to spread out your risk then this is even more important. The approach can be used for large authority sites also.
Following is a timeline I used when I first started making my sites. I will go into details for each step in the next few weeks but this should prepare you and get your mindset right. The benefit of this process is that it doesn’t require any cost. It is a great method for starting out in Adsense and will produce results. As these results start to tally up and your portfolio continues to grow you can start looking at other methods that require some expense.
Week 1
- Day 1
- Research 4 new niche markets that have both achievable traffic and potential for high paying traffic. These 4 new niches will be your 4 new sites.
- For each of these 4 sites research 4 keyword phrases that you want to target. Don’t aim for the difficult ones straight away, you want some results in the short term that will lead to the higher traffic keywords down the track.
- Select your highest potential keyword for each site and use this to purchase the domain names.
- Setup Wordpress for each domain name.
- Day 2
- Write 4 articles for Site 1, publish on your site and submit to Ezinearticles.
- Day 3
- Write 4 articles for Site 2, publish on your site and submit to Ezinearticles.
- Day 4
- Write 4 articles for Site 3, publish on your site and submit to Ezinearticles.
- Day 5
- Write 4 articles for Site 4, publish on your site and submit to Ezinearticles.
Week 2
- Day 1
- Create Web 2.0 accounts (if needed) for eight different properties. These will be used to linkwheel the articles.
- Day 2
- Write articles for each site and each keyword (16 in total) on the first two Web 2.0 properites (spread across different accounts), linking property one to property two. The articles keyword is used as anchor text.
- Day 3
- Write articles for each site and each keyword on the third and fourth Web 2.0 properites (spread across different accounts), linking property two to property three and three to four.
- Day 4
- Write articles for each site and each keyword on the fith and sixth Web 2.0 properites (spread across different accounts), linking property four to property five and five to six.
- Day 5
- Write articles for each site and each keyword on the seventh and eighth Web 2.0 properites (spread across different accounts), linking property six to property seven, seven to eight, and either to one.
Week 3
- Day 1
- RSS Submit any feeds that you now have. These will be from your main site, Ezinearticles author feed, Web 2.0 properties etc.
- Create a Podcast out of your feeds.
- Onlywire Site 1
- Day 2
- Onlywire Site 2
- Random bookmarking all site articles using your collection of backlink drop locations. These include blogging, forums, directories, profiles, etc.
- Day 3
- Onlywire Site 3
- Random bookmarking
- Day 4
- Onlywire Site 4
- Random bookmarking
- Day 5
- Random bookmarking.
The first four articles are now up and running and all it takes now is some time for Google to start collecting the backlinks and the domain of the site to age. You will begin to move up the ranks for your site and the traffic will start flowing. Don’t expect amazing results from these four articles until a few months down the track. You should continue to add random bookmarks to the site whenever you get a spare 5 minutes. Once you now how to add them they will take no time at all.
Week 4 – Week 6
Repeat the exact same process for the next three weeks with new keywords. Obviously you don’t need to worry about purchasing the domain and the RSS submits are probably taken care of but use that time to build even more backlinks.
After six weeks you will have four sites that contain eight articles each and the first four will be starting to move up on Google.
The benefit of a schedule like this is that instead of wasting time for the first group of articles to rank you are producing even more content. This content will even help your site move up quicker.
Once the traffic starts coming in you can see if the site is worth expanding or if you should move onto the next group of four.
