One of the things that I have learned is the more the merrier.  If I have one website that makes one dollar per day, wouldn’t it make sense to have a thousand sites making a dollar a day?

Well, that is the way I run my business - I feel that spreading my earnings over a large number of sites keeps me from being in the position of having too many eggs in one basket, but at the same time, it creates a daunting task for me.

How do I make one thousand sites?

Well, the trick is not doing everything myself.  I outsource the content, I get the logo design online, and all I do is put the pieces together.  This way, I can focus on putting the sites up as quickly as possible, and I even outsource the marketing.

And that is my secret on how to create websites quickly.

With my abysmal success that I had trying to find a date in the "real" world, I decided to turn my attentions online.  It was a last ditch effort on my part, as I didn’t want to end up alone.  I knew that if I just posted a profile, maybe people were looking to find local singles might find me.

But I really didn’t know where to start.  When I did a search for free online dating sites I was overwhelmed by the number of sites that were out there.  There were more than a hundred sites and I didn’t really know what I should do.

So, I signed up for a couple that were directed towards people in my locale, filled out my profile, and just waited to see if anyone was interested.  The sad thing is that it took a couple of weeks before I heard anything, but eventually I did have some bites.  Sure, none of them turned into anything much, but I did make a friend or two out of the deal.

If you’re unfamiliar with how to get started online, here are the bare bones of the process. There are many intermediate and advanced steps, but this will give you an overview.

1. Determine a topic you’re interested in and do an online search for it plus “forum”

2. Visit the forums that came up in your search. Find a topic people are asking about that you have knowledge in. Offer useful tidbits without giving away everything you know.

3. Purchase a domain name based on your topic.

4. Find a web host. There are lots of free web hosting companies out there.

5. Start a free blog using your domain name.

6. Create a page on where people can sign up to get your report free.

7. Go back to the forum thread and mention that you have a free report that answers the question.

You are now on your way to building a list and about ready to start monetizing your blog. But that’s another topic for another day.

Since I am a bit of a computer geek (don’t tell anyone), I have been asked by the church choir to create a MySpace page for them.  I thought that this was a bit odd, on the other hand, the choir performs for many groups, so a central location that speaks of their performances does make sense.

The reason that they decided to go with MySpace is that it is a perfect opportunity for them to create a fan base for their music.  Not only does it give them an easy medium to connect with their fans, but they can easily notify everyone of their upcoming performances.

Instead of creating the template from scratch, I have been looking at a number of Christian MySpace layouts to find one that would work perfectly for them.  So far, I have found a couple of potential ones and I will present them to the choir at the next practice.

Years ago, when I started to market my first website, I felt overwhelmed.  You see, I really didn’t know what I was doing, and it was a lot of trial and error.  But, after a number of tests, I finally figured out a marketing system that was going to work for me.

Many years later, I still have a marketing system, but I do things differently now.  You see, instead of doing everything by hand like the “olden” days, instead I depend on Internet marketing software tools to help automate some of my tasks.

Not only does the software help make the tasks easier, but with the number of sites that I am marketing at the moment, it also helps me to remember the marketing tasks that I have already completed.  I can also see at a glance the progress that I have made in my marketing efforts.  It definitely makes my job - and life - easier.

One of the things that I find that takes up lots of my time as a webmaster is all the website designs that I do.  I have the content for the sites outsourced already, but the web design is another story.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the budget to outsource everything, so I still have to do some of the work myself.

In an effort to make my life easier, I did a search on “quick and easy web design software” to see if there was a tool available to help me out.  After wading through the search results, I found some software that would be a perfect fit for what I wanted to accomplish.

I found a DHTML menu builder that would allow me to make menus with ease.  All I do is fill in the blanks and the code is generated automatically for me.

Now that I will have some free time, I think it will give me more time to focus on promoting my sites which should increase my income - something that I wouldn’t mind at all.

A very exciting thing happened to me last week. I won fifty thousand dollars in a hospital lottery. People have been asking me what I was going to do with the money and I think many of them assume I am crazy when I tell them that I am going to buy web domain names.

Most people do not look at the Internet from the same point of view as I do. I look at it as my greatest resource for making money. The more web domain names that I own, the more web pages I will have that could potentially be making me a profit.

To me, it is an investment and I think that this money will go a long way in making my business a success. So, if you do not understand, that is alright. I decided that it was my money and I was going to put it to good use.

When I started building my own websites I wanted to both find good hosting and to find good ways to promote my sight and drive traffic to it. I decided that I would do a search and find out what was available and what people were saying about it. It was a big step for me, but it was one that I knew I would have to take if I was ever going to have a successful Internet business.

I found quite a few hosting companies that came very highly recommended and I had the daunting task of choosing the one that would be best for me. I talked to a few of my friends that already have Internet hosting and I told them that I was thinking about going with asp.net web hosting.

I had one friend who was already utilizing the services of this company and he said that he was happy with what he got. I decided to give it a try and I have not been disappointed yet.

I am no stranger to the Internet. In fact, I make my living on it by owning various websites and offering SEO services. I am very lucky that I learned as quickly as I did because the market evolves so quickly and I was lucky enough to get in on it before it was completely saturated.

My most recent endeavor is that of starting forums. I have started quite a few of them, some even on topics I know little about. I started a health forum because I knew that it would interest a lot of people and draw in quite a large crowd. I was right and it is doing very well.

Another thing that I have been doing is writing articles that send links back to my websites. It has been working really well for me and I am lucky to be doing something that I love. In the end, I think a person’s success can be measured by how fond they are of their job and I am extremely fond of mine.

If you own a law practice that specializes in, say,  DUI defense, and you’re looking to use the Internet to bring in clients, first determine what terms your ideal client might search for. Then create, or have written for you, articles about DUI, client options, consequences, what a lawyer can do for clients charged with driving under the influence, even advice on getting and staying sober. Create good, solid, well-written content.

For example, if your firm is in Tampa, Florida, you might target the following keyword phrases: Tampa DUI Lawyers, Tampa DUI Attorneys and Tampa Drunk Driving Defense Attorneys. Within each article, you place one or more of these phrases as live links to your firm’s website. You can target particular pages, or your home page, although internal pages are best.

Finally, create a blog and place the articles there. If you keep adding new content, you’ll get noticed by the search engines for your keywords and traffic will eventually find its way to you.
