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.
Well, just how do you double and then some your income with only a 2 month time line?? You outsource like mad! Yesterday I calculated how much it would cost me to get 14 sites outsourced each week plus the additional articles needed to back link, and then the domain registration fees and it comes out to roughly $4k. It seems insane to think of slapping down $4k on a credit card but this is vital for me. I have no time to slack off, its time to invest hardcore in my future; in myself. Now I actually could drop that to $3k if I can find cheap enough article rewriters; which thankfully I believe I have.
Yesterday I was focused on placing job positions on oDesk for 3 content writers and 2 article rewriters. I already have a team of 2 solid and faithful content writers that have been able to help me build about 4 sites a week. Their assignments are much slower than I should be working though because they turn in 10 pages of content to me once a week. The new content writers will be submitting to me 5 pages of content per day. My new article rewriters will also be submitting 10 rewrites daily.
So I pretty much spent all day yesterday either looking over applications, interviewing, researching new niches, buying domains, compiling keyword lists for my content writers and sending my rewriters their articles to rewrite. It was insane!
Then by the time I was getting ready for bed, I had already received some articles from 2 of my new writers so I had to quickly gather a new list to send them so they could start writing again.
I did manage to get a few things done in Link Dozer and then finally start taking a peak more into my Traffic Kahuna membership. I just joined TK last week but was so busy with LD, I didn’t have any time. After watching the tutorial videos and going through some of the first tasks I am already enjoying Traffic Kahuna more than LD. I mean seriously, TK is really easily laid out for you in a step by step basis. Everything is crystal clear and I can see how this system would really help get me more traffic. I am first testing out TK on a brand new xfactor sites which has no article back links so I am going to be anxious to see how this goes. Of course I will probably end up using it for all of my newer sites just see how quickly I can get traffic to them.
Thursday is my last day working at the dental office (I’ve been covering Thursday afternoons for a woman whom was on maternity leave) and then I will have one more free day to invest in my business.
I feel so crazy and overwhelmed right now. I am doing my best to get totally organized by using One Note and some spreadsheets. It’s already 4pm and even though it feels I have done a lot, I have yet to throw up my 2 new xfactor sites for the day; so I am off to do just that.












Sounds like you’ve got a plan! Did you hear about Burn Your To Do List? My latest post was about the service. It’s like having ala carte outsourcing and you don’t have to interview anyone! I had one article done to test them out and it was seriously the best article I’ve gotten back from anyone,. Anyway, just wanted to mention that.
Good luck to you. I hope you reach your goal!
Sara´s last blog ..Burn Your To Do List? Oh yeah!
Thanks Sara. I’ll have to check it out.
Wow this is a big jump but I say good on you for doing it and, if Mike’s blog is anything to go by, it really should pay off! I look forward to following your journey in the next two months!

Hi Ruth,
Yea, Mike is pretty certain that if I have my keyword research down (which I feel i do now) that doing this will significantly increase my earnings. I am looking forward to seeing how well I do with it.
How do you promote each new site? BMD and UAW?
Hi Heimir,
For the past few weeks I wasn’t even article marketing my new sites. I was just relying on running BMD and I still hold onto the fact that I have been able to rank some of my sites on page 1 with absolutely no back links. But as I look at some of my sites that have no back links and are about 3-4 weeks old; they are still struggling on page 2 or 3 so I am certain with a few back links they can easily get pushed up to page 1.
I will be using UAW, BMD and now Traffic Kahuna on these new sites.
Similar to my plan, I also do a bit of profile links (Angelas & Pauls) and I manually submit few articles to EZA and the other top 5 article directories.
Another good service is http://lexorsoft.net/ they are very organized and fast. I have been really pleased with them.
I used BYTD but canceled my subscription.
So, the $4000 is for how many sites? How much do you pay for your outsourced articles?
Good luck with your plan.
Hi Evita,
The $4k is the estimated cost to build 112 websites. I have about 32, give or take a few already built. I figure, if I can earn $20 a day with 32 sites that obviously had some major mistakes such as added words in the domain or targeted keywords that had too much competition; then I should be able to more than double if not triple that earning amount since I understand my keyword search now. I should be building more profitable sites rather than duds.
I have been fortunate to hire writers on oDesk at $2 an article (400-450 words) and I hire rewriters for $1 per article.
Wow, thats VERY cheap indeed. Sorry if I sound funny for asking this but are the writers native English speakers? Also, are you quite specific with the keyword density etc? just curious thats all.
Zaheer
Hi Zaheer,
I have been fortunate to find writers from the Philippines with excellent native English speaking and writing skills. I now have 4 content writers and they all do amazing work. I’ve never had to fix any of their wording etc.
Hey Sara,
Well done on achieveing $20 per day, I’ve also started to average that as well which is good.
Thats a huge investiment that you’re making but if you’ve got a process that you are quite certain works then you’re quite right to upscale and just go for it.
Just a tip for your readers. The majority of my sites are WordPress based and when I bookmakrj using BMD, I also add the RSS feed for these into the ‘Randomization’ facility. Theres obviously lots of other RSS feeds which arent realted but BMD just kind of picks your sites, bookmarks them and you can just forget about them.
As a result Ive seeen a steady increase in traffic and earnings from my sites, xfactor and also non xfactor sites.
Anyway, keep up the good work and hope you hit more than $50pd in April.
Zaheer
Thanks Zaheer and congrats on your steady earnings.
I do think its pretty cool that you are doing so well with wordpress sites. I still favor static HTML sites and my static sites seem to rank the easiest and have staying power for their position.
i had forgot to mention in Heimer’s response that I also submit RSS feeds to RSS directories.
Thanks for your kind words, I’ve been following your blog for a while now so its put a smile on my face to see the fantastic progress you’re making…its certainly not easy is it????
Static sites are probably easier but I think that WP sites are just a lot easier to manage, if you get the permlinks correct and have the right plugins, you can REALLY utilise the power of SEO. Also, if you use the tags properly, Google often indexes them all as individual pages so more exposure.
Anyway, onwards and upwards as they say…..lol
Hi Sara,
It’s great to read about your plan. I was thinking of putting some money on a cc card too for outsourcing because as you know when you work your time is really eaten up. Can I ask if your older nicheblogger blogs are still bringing in some money? Do you still backlink them? I have a few and one or two are doing ok but others aren’t. Do you think it’s better to make smaller xfactor sites because they are easier to rank? I look forward to watching your progress.
Deb
Hi Deb,
Well my main nicheblogger site was doing very well until the past 2 month (as mentioned in this post). It was steadily earning me $130-150ish a month but unfortunately is slowly falling in the SERPS and then I have my 2 other nicheblogger blogs that only earn with adsense. Of those two; one of them does pretty good with earning about $8 a day and the other earns about $20-40 a month. I am constantly working on back linking them; using UAW and blog commenting.
After having 1 year with these nicheblogger sites, I can honestly say you will earn money much more rapidly with micro niche sites. They are easy to rank if you choose the right keywords and pay close attention to SOC. In fact, as mentioned; I have some sites with no back links other than an initial digg and they are ranking on page 1 right away and even weeks later.
I have a question. I got BMD last month, but I haven’t used it yet. How do you use it?
Also, when you are bookmarking, do you book mark to all the sites (the 26 main sites and those pligg sites) at once??
Also, how do you use the rss feed in it? DO you have you own list or what?
I wish you you success in what you do.
Hi Sara
I have been reading your blog for a while, I really enjoy it. It is great to see your success.
I have a quick question about your Traffic Kahuna membership. Does it include the Web2Mayhem software where you can create accounts at various bookmarking, article directory sites etc?
I also joined Link Dozer but gave up. I agree with you it is a great service but the work you have to put into getting one article published is crazy. I am not afraid of hardwork as I have been doing this for a while, but taking 2-3 days to set-up a campaign is not effective.
Anyway sorry to go off course! Look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Lyndsay
Hi Lyndsay,
Yes, TK includes Webmayhem 2.0 but Webmayhem doesn’t create accounts at bookmarking sites. Webmayhem basically has a step by step process on which web 2.0 properties to create accounts/blogs with plus they also operate personal blogs (wordpress MU) so that you can make subdomains using your keyword to drive more traffic to your site. But the real power is how they incorporate all of that with the step by step plan using the blogs, syndicate kahuna, the web 2 co-op (the book marking part) and portal feeder.
