Today; Saturday marks exactly 1 week of building 2 xfactor micro niche sites a day. I cannot believe I did it. I set a goal for this week and I was able to keep up with it! The first few days were rough since I wasn’t down with my tasks for the day until almost 1 am every day. I improved my work load each day by building my sites first thing in the morning. Today I spent from 9:00 am until 2:30 building my 2 xfactor sites, uploading the last few pages for sites I built yesterday, social marked my new sites with BMD, RSS submitted to directories, pinged new sites and new pages created and lastly, got 5 UAW submissions set up and are awaiting approval. Its probably been my most productive day this week and yet I finished hours before my usual time. I guess a huge part of the reason why I finished early today was the pure fact that today didn’t have anything to do with my outsourcers. I didn’t have to answer emails, or proof read submitted articles to me etc. …click here to read more

It’s Wednesday night and I have been quite proud of myself the past several days. I have kept to my goal of building 2 sites a day consistently since last Saturday. So I have built 10 sites in the past 5 days. I have been ending my days at around 6pm the past few nights. So Usually from 4-6pm I am cranking out the 2 websites. Even with ending my day at 6pm; somehow those last 2 hours just kill me. I feel physically and mentally exhausted at the end of the day. If anyone dare says that internet marketers are lazy even the ones that outsource; they don’t know what the heck they are talking about. There is still alot of the behind the scenes work to be done as an internet marketer. Keyword research is usually the bulk of my day. Anyhow, normally I start off my day with keyword research, communication with my outsourcers and getting their next assignments ready then my daily goal of building my sites. …click here to read more
Whew! I am already beat and today is Monday; the start of a new work week. I have truly been a busy bee. I am sure Mike will be thoroughly proud of my effort this week and especially that fact that I worked both Saturday and Sunday; which I usually do not work weekends.
Here is what I was busy doing this past week:
Outsourcing on oDesk
Last Sunday (and even until this morning) I was placing job positions …click here to read more
My days are really narrowing down until when I need to be achieving a full time income. Although I would say I am steadily earning $20 a day from my xfactor sites, I need to push it to at least $50 a day by April.

Ok, I see that my last post was made on January 7, 2010. So Basically I have not updated in two weeks. You probably thought I was a busy bee and throwing up new xfactor sites all over the place. WRONG! I was neither building websites or back linking them. I have been getting familiar with Link Dozer and today; two weeks of owning it, I finally got my first campaign actually processed. …click here to read more
I casually logged into my adsense account this morning to check what I ended up earning yesterday. The last I had checked, I was up to about $12.00. Well, I hit a new high of $30.18. I am so excited! This was a major spike so the only thing I can think of is that some rankings on some newer sites improved. Unfortunately I can only guess because I somehow managed to not track the channels with adsense. Doh! I know! I won’t be making that mistake anymore and for now on I will be setting up my channels immediately after creating my code to be placed on the site. …click here to read more
So how many of you were like me and pretty much unproductive the past 2 weeks? I did a little bookmarking here and there and that was about it. I gave my odesk writers the past 2 weeks off and let them know I wasn’t planning on using them the week of Christmas and New Year’s since I wasn’t going to be very active. They were most understanding and I think relieved as they expressed how busy they were with the Holidays as well. They sent me nice heartfelt emails and e-cards wishing me a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year’s. …click here to read more
Since my last post I have managed to build 5 new xfactor adsense sites, so I think that brings me to 13 sites that fit Mike’s 2900+ monthly searches suggestion. I basically built these last 5 sites over the past 9 days and only one of them is indexed right now.
Now why did I only manage to build 5 sites in the past few weeks? The honest truth is I just got completely burned out. With the holidays coming up, I was a bit more limited as to how much I could outsource. This left me with basically having to write my own articles used for ezine and goarticle submissions. This process became mind numbing and I would only manage to write 3-4 articles a day and feel as though that was all I was mentally capable of producing. So I basically took an entire week off in which I did nothing except running bookmarking demon on my newer sites at the time and I did a few runs of Comment Kahuna. …click here to read more
I’ve been building xfactor sites for almost 2 months now and I am stuck at the $5 day earning rut. With 22 sites this has not only been bothering me but it has also been bugging Mike. So the other night Mike asked if he could take a look at some of my sites to evaluate their rankings, competition and monthly searches etc. After he took a look at some of my sites and asked me some more questions like: how many sites receive 2900+ monthly searches? how many sites are on page?; he had guessed that I maybe only had about 10 xfactor sites that fit the criteria necessary to rank properly. …click here to read more
Morning everyone! I am feeling quite optimistic this week. Maybe it has to do with my vision board I posted above my desk or maybe it just has to do with the fact that I am seeing some adsense progress at a steady climb.
The Vision Board
First I present to you my vision board. No laughing guys! I want these things and they will happen for me. 
The vision board was introduced …click here to read more
I have been building xfactor sites outlined in John’s ebook; Micro Niche Adsense Course for just a little over a month now. I now have 20 sites up. Obviously I have made some mistakes and posted them on a previous blog post, Learning From Mistakes On Building Xfactor Sites during my first month’s effort. If you have just begun building xfactor sites, I recommend you read that post first so you can avoid some of the mistakes I have made.
Yesterday I got caught up on reading Internetmarketer99’s thread in which he has so kindly laid out his method of building mini niche sites. As I was reading it, I was getting more and more tempted to try using wordpress blogs for this month’s xfactor sites. I mean everything just seemed too enticing. …click here to read more
I am starting to see a bit more consistency with my xfactor sites. Some sites seem to have finally settled in their place on page 1 and some that disappeared off the map from the get-go are slowly climbing positions. Not only are the rankings for these sites improving but the clicks are also more consistent. I have one site that has received at least 1 click (sometimes 2-3 a day) for the past 3 days. …click here to read more
In The Beginning – Sites #1-13
When I first started off doing xfactor sites 4 weeks ago, I was trying to stick as close to Xfactor’s (John’s) advice in his ebook as far as the monthly searches you should be looking for and then additional keywords for building the other pages.
Now when I say I was trying what that really means is, …click here to read more
I was pretty excited waking up yesterday morning to find that I had received a click for $7.83 from one of my hubs. That really helped boost my adsense earnings for the day. My total for yesterday was $20.38. That was accomplished from a few income streams though. $9.38 was from my main niche blog, $9.01 from 2 different hubs and only $.56 from one of my xfactor sites. …click here to read more

Here are my steps for getting indexed in 4-5 days. …click here to read more
Oh ouchie! Nothing like getting ready to start a day of IM work only to find an email from ezines saying that a recent article submission was found to be a duplicate and that my account is suspended until I can explain myself. It was an article rewrite I purchased. …click here to read more
In my previous post I had mentioned using the Adflex SEO template on my older niche blog. I am quite happy with the results. Check out my screen shot below. Look at my earnings from October 15-18. You will notice a huge spike in my earnings. That spike is only due to the one change I did; switching my template. …click here to read more
If any of you follow Griz’s blog then perhaps you have already read his post on double indexing which helps you gain 2 of the 10 positions on page one for your keyword. This sounds like a great strategy to me for my Xfactor Micro Niche sites. (Oh if you want to read Griz’s post, it’s right …click here to read more

This is what I have done for this week so far: …click here to read more
On Tuesday I was beginning my keyword research for upcoming sites to build using my trusty Micro Niche Finder. I wanted to know my niches and keywords so I could provide a list for my oDesk writers to get started on. I didn’t think I was hitting the Get SOC links too quickly or in large quantities but apparently I was. I started getting …click here to read more

Testing Out Ad Flex SEO Theme And Back Linking First Xfactor Site
Oct
I was reading up on a forum thread started by internetmarkter99 on the warrior forum. He basically is building an empire of xfactor type sites but he has his own twist on back linking and he prefers to use wordpress blogs instead of static sites (although I do believe he is making more static sites now.)
He had mentioned that sometimes a certain market will need a specific web template and that for some niches, xfactor’s templates will reflect a higher CTR and for some niches a template more like Prosense will be a better match. …click here to read more
