Creation of a Profit Making Site From Scratch
This series shows step by step how I work towards creating a profitable site to bring me hundreds of dollars a week, all on autopilot. The goal: set it up and let the profits run automatically with just an hour of work per week to maintain it.
I am a big believer in having multiple streams of income on autopilot.
By this I mean, I have at least a half dozen sites up and running right now that require very little work to maintain. In return, they pull in $4,500 to $6,500 a month in sales. Everything is automatic. From the sales transaction to delivery of the product.
This works out beautifully for me. Work that I did last year for example, continues to pay me with very minimal maintenance on my part. By little, I mean literally a few minutes here and there answering customer service issues. Whether these sites pull in $500 a month or $2,000+ a month, they all add up to a nice income on autopilot.(Note, these income streams are a different concept from this membership site which is much more involved).
I am also safeguarded from any major disruption in one of the income streams that may occur. If a huge competitor comes in and stops one income stream to a trickle, I still have several more come in from different sources. It isn't too hard to see how desirable this is. Want to know the really good news? You have the potential of doing the same thing on your own. Regardless of what business you currently have. You can either add one of these income streams to an existing site or create something totally separate from what you are currently doing. Want Some Proof And Some Guidance? This series of articles is going to take you through the evolution, birth and growth of my next automated stream of income. This isn't theory but real world application of the steps involved and what it takes. I plan on showing you everything that went into it, the costs and time involved and most importantly the results!
Getting Started - The First Steps
One of my first objectives was to set out and determine what it was that I was looking to accomplish with the new site. After some time thinking it over I decided on the following: My Goals For The New Income Generating Site
- Minimal upkeep time once it is in place
- Healthy income potential. Let's say a short term goal of $200 - $300+ a week (on autopilot remember!)
- Short start up time and effort
- Minimal costs to get going. I will shoot for under $100 in startup costs
This should really be some useful information as it demonstrates many of the concepts that go into making a successful and profitable site. Let's get started.... Here's how the concept for the profit producing site was conceived and what came next.
