Stop Reading & Start Writing

How much time do you spend per day just reading? An hour, two, maybe even more.

If you spent that time writing, how much quality content could you create? A couple fantastic posts probably.

It is time to look at how you budget your time.  I am by no means saying stop reading all of your favorite blog posts, but instead I am pointing out the fact that there should be a balance between how much time you read and how much time you allocate to writing.

Refining Your Domain & Website Portfolio

How many side project do you have piling up (that you know in the back of your mind you won’t ever complete)?

How many domains and/or websites have you acquired that are just idling, not generating revenue, and eating renewal fees?

If you answered any number other than 0, then you ought to reexamine your website and domain portfolio and take action. You need to look at domains and websites while accounting for their potential future value.  For instance, a domain like 3dmovies.net might currently be losing money as a parked page, but I’m certain that in the next few years its value will only increase.  Try to anticipate the future and decide what your next move will be from there.

Gotta Love Quick Flips

Making well over a $100 per hour has never been easier while flipping websites:

I’m going to refrain from adding 10-20 more proof pictures, otherwise this would just look like a sleazy eBook product minus the “real” reviews from satisfied customers.

The process if pretty simple: Buy a website for $100-$300, then sell the same website for $500-$1,000 at another platform.  However, this method is easier said then done, and if you don’t know what you’re doing you can end up with a number of websites and a lot of wasted time.  Websites that I try to buy have the following specifications:

  • Established website with authority and trust
  • Age of 1+ year – the older the better
  • Numerous quality backlinks – the more (diverse) the better
  • Not deindexed in search engines
  • Little maintenance required
  • Revenue: $0+ / month
  • Traffic: 0+ / month

Effective Resource Management in SERPs

If you can attain the #1 ranking for a (relatively) competitive search term, you can drive a lot of targeted traffic to your website.  Winning the battle for the #1 ranking can exponentially increase your traffic.  Too many people are targeting a range of search terms that is simply too wide.  If you were trying to become a professional athlete, you would not spend time training for every possible sport.  You would pick the sport that has the most potential and run with it.  I’m not saying that you should focus all of your link building efforts on a single term, but shifting the focus of your link building campaigns and resources to your money keyword is an intelligent choice.
