Make Money with Anything & Everything

I know, I know, you're still struggling to make a few bucks a day and you're probably just caught in a creative money making rut. I've been there, and I'm sure most internet earners find themselves in this no-man's land of money making now and then. It can be hard to dig yourself out of this "woe is me" funk. So here's the trick... GET CREATIVE!. Diversify, do some keyword research, find something you never thought of promoting. Make a sub-page to an existing site you own, and do some SEO and deep link building. Find a random affiliate product and write an Ezine article or blog about it and generate some traffic and interest. It doesn't matter if you build a niche site selling bathroom urinals or some great SEO E-Book. None of that matters. What does matter is that you're experimenting. You're finding out methods that work, and lots of methods that just plain suck. These are the keys to finding that "next cool idea" like Facebook or whatever the next great web idea may be. It's out there. Most of us are searching for it. Some of us will find it. When you do find it, will you know how to get it in front of the people that can make it a success? Hone your SEO techniques on anything and everything. Most importantly, have fun, get your juices flowing. The money will follow. It doesn't have a choice.

Make Money with 1 Niche Site...or 1000

Oh, the million dollar question.. do you try to make a hundred different niche sites and make a little from each, or you do you make one big, kick azz site and work on monetizing that solely. This question bothers me every day, and I've yet to find the right answer, if there is in fact a correct answer. So what are the benefits and downfalls to each. If you want to go after the "One Big Site" idea, then once you have an idea (a big one), a budget, & a design, you have the luxury of focusing strictly on that one project, with no other distractions. Generally you're going to have a lot more competition for a large site idea than for small niche type sites. But hopefully the amount of traffic you can bring in will make it worth the efforts of getting the visitors. This is the "all eggs in one basket" approach to marketing.

On the flip side, if you can create 100 little sites, all making a couple bucks a day with which ever means you choose, then that's a pretty good way to make some coin as well. The downfall to this method is, lots of sites / pages to keep track of as well as building links, marketing, advertising for each of those sites enough to get them on auto-pilot and making money. So which method is going to be the most successful. Both, neither, a mix of both...who knows. Everyone's approach is going to be different, but in the end, it can't hurt to try out both methods and see which works best.
