Aha! I found it! Took me a good 15 minutes and about 5 different searches but I found the post by John that really got me thinking about turning my micro sites into larger sites. It was more difficult to find because apparently John had deleted the original thread he had posted the response in but I was lucky to recover what he had said because another member had quoted him on it. I really wish John had not deleted this post because I know I had searched for this post a few weeks back and had no success in locating it. Today out of determination and a promise to Kelly that I would find it…I found it!

For some of you that do not know, John is not just “the xfactor micro niche guy”. John is very successful with his authority site that is in the health niche. You can read John’s details of how he built his niche site back in 2008 on the warrior forum thread here.

This post really helped me see the true potential of micro niche sites and how I can have them produce more than just the ideal $5 a day income. The setup of the thread was to encourage people to write more content. John had mentioned writing 6 articles a day. (I am not that motivated to do 6 a day but his generalized statistics are still encouraging).

Look at it this way everyone, let’s say that the worst
scenario is that every article you write only gets 2
clicks per week on average, with .25 cents for each click.
Based on this example, that one article page will make
you $2.00 per month.
Pretty crappy huh?
Yes it would be if EVERY article did that poorly, but even so
let’s now say that you write 6 of these every day.
At the end of 1 month you will have written 180 articles
that will make you $2.00 each per month once they are
indexed and you have backlinks.
That totals $360.
So…. with this worst case scenario every month that goes
by you are increasing your passive income by $360 so long
as you continue to work the plan and add 6 new articles to
your site every day (along with article marketing).
That’s not so bad, it ain’t great, but after 10 months you
could develop a $3,600 monthly passive income stream
from working this plan.
So….. Anyone who is wondering how to make money with
adsense by long-term websites………
How many articles have you written today?

Yesterday’s post took me another few hours again. Someone had asked why it was taking me so long and the only real answer I can provide is that I am spending way too much time watching YouTube videos for part of my research so that I am able to write a step-by-step and I am also making sure that each post is juicy link bait, i.e. its a post that people will simply want to bookmark and come back to.

I also managed to get 3/4 of today’s (Saturday’s) post ready. I still need to write up a quick article for ezines, spin the same article for SEOLV and take a spun snippet for BB.

Had a pretty stinky adsense day yesterday of $23.04 and my authority site got 0 clicks. :(

Oh and by the way, there is a real douchebag website out there that will take information from your google account (like your bio information) and put it in their people search directory. They had listed my full name, what city I lived in, websites I owned job etc. I had made the mistake of listing noteworthytips in my google account and I found that my avatar from my google account showed up along with a few other niche blogs I own. I was pretty pissed off and wrote them a nasty email demanding they remove me from the system. In fact, you have to request to have your information removed, otherwise…you’re there too. I don’t want to give the site name away that does this until I see they delete my info first and that my information is deindexed.
