I started by using a subdirectory of this domain to make some mini-sites about classic cars. It started with thte classic car but then I couldn’t get an angle to use to advertise them on Craigslist. So I came up with Classic Cars For Sale and advertised them on Craigslist in my area. I got real good response to them and some clicks on the ol’ Google AdSense. I then added some eBay listings and even got some sales commissions from that.

So all that combined, I am really excited to get started on my newest website called Your US Casino Directory. I am almost half done with it. I have integrated Google maps into it and I am looking into ways to add RSS feed to a page so I can add some auctions all the time.

So between the 30 Day Challenge and the Casino project, I should be pretty busy. I enjoy your comments and suggestions so feel free to leave them below.

Till next time…..

Thanks for stopping by today and as always feel free to ask a question or leave a comment as it is always appreciated.

The AdSense codes  in the theme that I am using for my WordPress mini site project finally started working and that means my mini sites are ready to go.  To catch up on what has happened so far, see this post and the last part of this post. I have put final finishes on all of them and I need too add some more articles to complete them, but they are ready to go.

To see one of them, visit Classic Cars and it gives you an idea of what they are like. They all have the same design, just different titles and they are along the same niche as this. I would appreciate any comments you may have on them and as always I will keep you informed on how they are doing.

I plan on putting ads on Craigslist to get them some exposure and also article writing.

Till next time…..

As far as the projects, the traffic building is still going on. I am about done adding to the list of directories that I am using. It has over 500 in the list, but some are for niche blogs, like webmasters only, and mine did not fit in. But in the end I will have over 150 listings in the directories, all PR-3, 4 or 5, a couple higher.

I have also made a Squidoo page for my blog, but I am very discouraged by the results so far. I am not ranked for any of my keywords. I guess Google really slapped away the magic that Squidoo used to have. I will be updating it some to help bring up the rankings and I need to make more lenses, but with a different twist, like “The Best Money Making Blogs” and of course put My Internet Lab on top! lol

I also wrote an article at ezinearticles.com and so far have had 26 views and one person that clicked the link to my blog. Small, but not bad for just a few days. Need to make many more articles.

As for the niche sites with WordPress project, I have not decided if I want to make the blogs and the content sort of related (like dogs, different breeds, all dog related) or make them totally different (like cars, dating services,ring-tones). So when I do that I will get the appropriate domain names and then set them up. Right now I am leaning towards all related, then I would be able to “corner the market” so to speak on that subject, so when someone types in a search for that subject, at least one of the sites should show up in the results.

Keep on stopping by and keeping up with my progress, it is greatly appreciated.

Till next time…..

I am starting a new project as the “Full Time Traffic Builder” project seems to be going along with no snags. This new project is “How to Develop Money Making Niche Sites Using WordPress” and is based on the e-book of the same title written by Caroline Middlebrook. The e-book by Caroline is free for you to download and is full of useful information, even if you are not going to make a niche site using WordPress.

I encourage you to go to her site and download this free e-book and read it because I will be referring to it throughout this project. I will give at least six months for this project, maybe more depending on the results, for this project to develop and and give back enough feedback for a good results report.

I will do at least 3 to 5 of these sites as not all niches are the same or have the same “season” for use. I may increase this amount if I see that the results are positive and are actually bringing in some money. In a post called “A Simple Strategy to Make Money Online with WordPress,” Caroline gives some background on what I plan to do with the information in her e-book.

She also talks about if that you had 100 of these sites and the each made $1 a day that would be a hefty income for you. She then spoke about a gentleman named Gary Conn who actually has over 100 blogs and most of his blogs average over $1 per day with two that make $40 and $100 per day and with a grand total of over $5000 a month! You can see his post here.

This also reopens that age old question, Would you rather have one website that made $5000 a month or would you rather have 100 sites that make $50 a month? To me the answer is obvious, YES! It wouldn’t really bother me to have 100 sites that made a little a day or one big one, as long as they were bringing in the dough! In fact my feeling is that I would rather have the 100 because to have the one would mean a lot of pressure to deliver the goods each and everyday to keep the site going.

So ,that is my new project and I will be starting it in the next day or so. As with all of my projects, I will be giving you regular updates so you can follow along. You can also get Carolines’ e-book and start your own project too! Then we can compare notes at the end of the project.

Till next time…..
