What I will do to accomplish my goals

I have a few ideas to accomplish my goals.  I’m sure more will come to me as I make my venture into earning income online.

Blogging
I plan on creating a handful of blogs that genuinely interest me in a particular niche and I intend on blogging about these subjects once every other day or so.  I also intend on having a few articles written for me for each site so that I can have content generated without taking much of my time.  I will have a few targeted affiliate offers and include Adsense on these blogs as well.  I will rely on search engines for organic traffic.

Pay Per Click
I have plans to start up two pay per click advertising campaigns on Yahoo! Search marketing.  I currently just setup an account there and have $130 to spend.  I plan on picking one offer that is currently hot and another offer that I feel has a strong following.  Hopefully they’ll turn out good for me.

Autoblogs
I will probably setup about 10 autoblogs in particular niches.  These will be setup as subdomains on all-relevant.info.  I will have a few targeted affiliate offers on these sites.  In addition Adsense will be included on these blogs as well.  I plan on submitting these autoblogs  to social bookmarking sites and directories for traffic.  I also plan on receiving some organic search traffic from Google, Yahoo! and MSN search engines.   I will also drop a few links around the more popular websites in their respective niche for link building.

If anybody else has any ideas for me, please let me know.

Goals for making money online

My goals are simple.  I want to be able to start off by being able to pay for my student loans via the income I earn online.  That’s short-term.  In the long-term I wouldn’t mind being able to make a living via the web.

Here’s a small set of goals that I’ve establish for myself.  This way, within 6 months I’ll be able to pay for student loans via the income I’ve made off the internet.

Please note, these figures are net income, not revenue generated.  I also plan for this income to be recurring income.  Not income I’ve made off a one-time sale of a website/service/etc…

January $25/monthly
February $50/monthly
March $75/monthly
April $100/monthly
May $150/monthly
June $200/monthly

My online history

Well a few years back when affiliate marketing hit myspace I took advantage while I could.  I mean, who didn’t.  A friend walked me through everything I needed to get started.  Before I knew better I was making hundreds daily with MINIMAL effort.  Life was good.  Then they cracked down and myspace sued everybody.  So, I decided it was best to go legit.

This is where I ran into problems, I didn’t know affiliate marketing at all.  I never even attempted to learn it and subsequently didn’t even try.

Then around October of 2007 I decided I wanted to get involved in affiliate marketing because I didn’t want to get a full time job.  For about 2 months I research and read A TON of material on WickedFire and learned many useful things which is what I will be basing this attempt on.

This time last year I started a handful of autoblogs, ran a few PPC campaigns, had a couple legit sites and ended up spending around $300 and only seeing about $100 of it come back to me.  When you don’t have a job and see that kind of money going out, you lose hope, which I did.  Plus a full time job came a long and I had to accept it.  Bills were getting past due.

Now this time around I have some money at my disposal that I can invest and attempt to make some money online.  I know that it takes money to make money.  With the help of WickedFire I’m hoping to make a decent amount of money online.

My purpose

The purpose of this blog is to give you frequent updates on my attempts to make money online.

I currently work full time as a Title Officer for Fidelity Residential Solutions.  I do title work on foreclosed homes in Michigan, Georgia, Utah, South Dakota and Montana.  This job is currently financing my attempts to make some money online until I become profitable.

I just finished my Bachelors degree in Finance from Northeastern State University.  Unfortunately, I obtained my degree with the help of student loans and I just started paying them back this month.  Once profitable, I plan on paying these student loans back, in full with the money I’ve earned online.
