A recent post on Courtneytuttle.com, Smart Farmers Don’t Plant One Seed at a Time (and Neither Do Smart Internet Marketers), spurred me to write this blog post.
I’ve previously stated that the best SEO trick is to start up your homepage(s) and just wait. Don’t ignore it completely, but let it grow gradually instead of waiting to have the search engines index you and get some more traffic.
I’ve started a lot of homepages/sites in my effort to create a residual income on the internet, and my experience has taught me that I should not stress, and just let time do its work.
If you do the base work, and have relevant and interesting content, the rest will come automatically. Link building should obviously not be ignored, but just add a few links gradually, and you will succeed in the end
Getting just a single site to earn $5 a day is, as Courtney writes himself, a success! But having several blogs/sites that does that is even better. Each of my sites are not big earners, but all together they make a decent side-income, and every time I add a site to the portfolio, I know that it will in time add to the earnings.
The bonus with this tactic is that it also makes you less vulnerable. If you base 90% of your earnings on a single site, you are not really very secure. If that site losses its traffic for one reason or another, 90% will disappear. Spread your earnings across several sites, and you will be more secure.
