Residual Income Opportunity Blog

A question that many people continue to search for is how to create wealth. Well wouldn’t it be nice if there was some easy method for creating wealth and passive income streams. Well there isn’t any that I know of. If you do give me a quick call or email and fill me in on it.

If you truly do want to create passive income businesses then you need to not spread yourself thin and concentrate on them one at a time. You see once you get into the swing of doing business whether it is online of offline you will notice lots of different income opportunities start to pop up that you feel you want to focus on. Now this is a great thing so why am I writing about it like it’s a problem you may ask?

Well it is a bit of a problem in the sense that if you want to create a true residual income opportunity business that actually makes cash for the long term then you need to put all of your energy into it for it to succeed.

The reason I decided to write this is because I’m a perfect example. When I got into making income online I started to do too many things at once. Some made money some didn’t. But you see the problem was that I was spreading myself thin. Meaning that I didn’t concentrate fully on any of the projects. I just gave each one maybe a day per week. Now think about it. I said some made money right. Well what would happen if I had spend a few solid weeks on each project? You guessed it the ones that now make passive income each and everyday would probably be making a lot more wouldn’t they.

So what I suggest if you are serious about setting up some real passive income projects and learning exactly how to create wealth then choose a maximum of 3 projects to work on at a time. Develop those projects to the point that you’re able to see if they are profitable or not. At that time move on to new projects.

Remember the above doesn’t mean stick to projects if they aren’t making money for you. You still should be doing market research before you get into a project and then dropping it quickly if it doesn’t make you money. For example I have some Adsense sites that only make me a few bucks a week. Do you think I keep working on those? No I leave them alone and move onto new passive income generating blogs and projects!

If you want to set up online success and passive income opportunities on the Internet then you’re going to need to have a solid understanding of how to go about doing keyword research in relation to the competition that is out there.

So today I wanted just to give you some quick tips on how you can go about assessing your competition for keywords that you are wanting to target and rank well for in Google or other search engines. First of all if you’re serious about making income online then make sure you are using the browser Mozilla Firefox. It has great SEO plugins that you can use to do your research.

If you have this browser set up I would download the useful plugin tool SEO Quake. This plugin will tell us some important information when looking at the top few results in Google. The results we’ll be concerned with here are the domains age and also the PR (page rank). I won’t go into how to set it up but this lovely little plug in will display all of that crucial information.

The next step is to take the keyword you are thinking about targeting and type it into good old Google. After we get our results back underneath the top domains the information we need will pop up. Below is the list of factors you should be checking for to see if your chosen keyword is heavy competition and if you have a chance of ranking and making any income with it.

• Domain age (The older the name the more authority they will have)
• Page rank (If page rank is 4 or higher it’s going to be pretty tough to beat quickly and will take more work)
• Is the keyword in the URL (If the keyword is in the url they will get more credit for that keyword too)
• Is the keyword in the website title displayed in Google (If the keyword is in the title means their title is optimized for that keyword)

Basically if a site has all of the four factors above mentioned then they will be fairly tough competition. That being said it doesn’t mean you should be giving up on the keyword that you had chosen and your online success towards making residual income. What it does mean is that you’ll have to work a bit harder. Good luck and more on SEO tips and tricks from me soon!

Have a story for you today about my online income opportunities quest and a big mistake I made today. Yes I learned from the mistake but it definitely cost me some of my hard earned income. Of course I’m really upset about it but as I’ve preached to you before I can’t let problems that pop up slow me down on my road to web wealth and generating a solid passive income.

Now I’ve talked to you folks before that when wanting to get ranked in Google if you have a new domain name it can take a long time because of the “Sandbox”. I’ve spoken about it before but just to review the Google sandbox can go into effect on all new domains under 1 year old. What happens is even if your website is SEO optimized perfectly and you have some links pointing towards your site you may not get found for keyword searches until your site matures a bit and is permitted out of the infamous sandbox.

So as I’ve told you if you are in a rush to be found and start making online passive income with your website businesses and opportunities then you need to seek out pre-owned domains at the website FreshDrop.com. Now if you buy a closeout or expired domain from this site you are fine and your purchased domain name will keep its age.

But what I learned is that if you buy a pre-owned domain off any of the other websites like Afternic, Network Solutions, etc then your new URL’s creation date will get re-set. What this means is that even though it was old it is treated by Google as new and therefore you can still hit the dreaded sandbox.

Well guys today I blew it. I have a business related niche that I want work on related to making residual income and I paid $200 for it. It was great. Keywords in domain, short, nicely aged (6 years), and the list goes on. Today I went to check out the WHOIS info and I saw it says it was created in November 2008. My heart jumped a beat. I thought I had it all figured out and was about to rank well and therefore make some good online income off of this puppy. Well I was wrong and learned a valuable lesson about online business success.

After I saw this I called a friend of mine (an experience Internet marketer) and he told me “yeah if you buy an expired or closeout domain you are fine, but any other aged domain will get re-set”. I’m upset about my $200. Hopefully I can sell this domain since it’s a nice one but I won’t be able to use it for the online income opportunity that I was imagining unless I want to sit around for months waiting in the sandbox. Lessons learned folks. Wanted to share this with you so you don’t do the same thing.

If you want to build residual income into your lifestyle then don’t go about it blindly. You’re going to want to study, research, and spend some time on learning all about the various opportunities, and businesses models out there, and find out what people are actually making cash from.

You see the problem is that most people when it comes to decisions regarding things like investing in stocks, starting a new website business, or buying real estate are just making their decisions based on what they have heard. What I want you to think about today is when you hear this information consider it carefully and don’t just adopt that opinion until you know it to be true.

In my case I have experience in earning residual income online so let me talk about that for a minute here. Some of the things I’ve heard floating around online are, “You can’t make money from Adsense”, “Build a site with great content and the traffic will flow in”, “Buy a pre-built site in an expensive niche and you’ll make a killing”. For some people the preceding statements have been true but for others not at all.

Let’s take one example. Recently lot of “web gurus” say “buy websites that have traffic and are already live and you’ll make lots of income”. Therefore lots of new online business entrepreneurs have been buying websites at places like www.sitepoint.com and also www.ebay.com . Now if you do not know what you are looking for and what is actually a good money making opportunity then you will be wasting a lot of money and time.

On the other hand if your goal is to earn residual income off a website and you know exactly which sites up for sale have the potential to do that you can sometimes find some great deals.

Let me give you an example. I recently saw a website that I passed on (due to the price tag - $1200). It was ranking on the second page of Google for a keyword and making about 6$ a day from Google Adsense. Now I analyzed this website and potential traffic and I know that if I bought it I would be able to have taken it to the first page with some simple SEO strategies. The owner of that site had done a great job to get it to the second page but wasn’t too SEO savvy. If I bought it and took it to the first page it probably would have started making well over $10 a day within a month or two.

That is just one example of making sure that if you are serious and want to be building residual income and invest in good quality investments that will actually put money back in your pocket then you need to understand and learn about what it is you want to invest in so you can spot a good opportunity before you buy.

You all want to find an online income opportunity quickly right? Yeah I know. So do I, and so do thousands of other internet and web entrepreneurs or get rich quick opportunity seekers. Well as I’ve spoke about before in the past if you want to make some green backs on the web then develop a real business!

Think about it this way if you were opening up a shop in your city or town would you start selling useless items to people? Hopefully your answer is no. What does this mean? Well it means that if you get in the success mindset of setting up websites, blogs, and product sites that are useful to your visitors you’ll set up a long term income and business opportunity.

On the web right now there are so many people setting up “niche sites” and blogs about things they really are not interested in order to generate some quick wealth. Well I can tell you that it’s a waste of time and even if you start to make some money from your site it will die off shortly and you won’t have set up a long term passive business.

So if you want to actually leave your day job then don’t buy into all these niche products and get rich quick schemes that people are selling. Are you really going to set up business opportunities selling ebooks on scrapbook making and duck hunting when you really have no interest in knowledge in these subjects? Remember to ask yourself these questions before you buy products to make online income or wealth.

• Am I interested in this niche?
• Does it have income and revenue potential?
• Is it a long term or short term business?
• Is it unique or is it something that thousands of other people are doing?
• Is the website or blog something that people will find value in?

So if you are serious about developing a legitimate online income opportunity then start developing an actual business model from day one. The days of building up low quality sites on the Internet are slowly coming to a close. The web is still fairly new and has lots of great potential for those who take the time, think strategically, and set up solid long term businesses – Good luck!

You want to start to earn residual income and set up some opportunities but first you need to even understand the definition of this word. Most of us hear that term or we also hear the term passive income floating around in the money conversation circles. Well before you start to make anything or talk about it you need to have an understanding of what the word means so you know how to go about making it!

There is one big mix up that many people have when they think of the terms residual and passive income. Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat. Working from the Internet or from your home does not automatically mean that you are making passive cash streams. It means you are working at home and while you do have more freedom you still need to work all the time for your money to keep coming in correct?

If you want to understand the true definition of residual or passive then think about assets that produce money daily, monthly, yearly etc without you doing something specific for at that moment to get it.

Let me give you a few examples. The interest you get on your money in a bank or bond is passive. Once you put the money in any of the interest you receive from that cash you actually have done nothing for except the initial action. Another great example would be a website that you set up Adsense on. Once you put in lots of initial work and the site starts ranking well you will most likely be getting money coming in daily with no or very little maintenance.

So when you’re evaluating whether a residual income opportunity is really that then think about this one question. Will I earn money even when I’m not working. Remember many opportunities require initial work before they will turn into something truly passive.  That is the true definition of this word.

Making money with Adsense is a great online residual income opportunity. Especially for anyone interested in making some money off a website that they are running that gets some steady traffic. You see the problem is that most people actually don’t understand how to properly build an Adsense website that will trigger the correct advertisements and that’s what I’d like to talk to you briefly about today.

As I’ve discussed before in some of my other posts on earning online income with Adsense is that doing well is all about selecting the correct keywords to work and also how to use them throughout your website properly. What I want to talk to you about today is how you should be using them in the titles of your post. If you stick to this rule as you work on your blog you’ll start to notice that your website will be triggering the correct advertisements.

So let me give you a little example here. If your website is all about stock investing then what you’re going to want to do is take that list and make sure that all the posts you write are using keywords from that list.

So for example if one of your keywords is “Making Money with Stocks” your article or post on your Adsense website would be something like this “Making Money with Stocks on the Internet”. This should trigger the correct Adsense advertisements that you are looking for.

The mistake that most bloggers or webmasters make when trying to build residual income online with Adsense is they don’t use their keywords in their title or much in their text for that matter. Remember this, Google is a computer and the way it understand what ads to trigger on your website is through certain elements and having keywords in the titles of your posts is one of them!

We all know that to make a good income online we need good traffic coming to our websites and blogs. If you play the game correctly this internet web traffic will turn into residual income streams that will continue to grow as long as you maintain what you have built and keep working those keywords!

So how do you know what keywords people are using to find your current website? Well I recommend using a free tool called Stat Counter. I really love it and use it to track statistics of any and all of my websites. It has a bunch of cool features like how many visitors you’ve received, detailed visitor information, browser statistics, what page they exited on and more. But when it comes to building up my SEO I really like to use their keyword features.

In Stat Counter they have what is called the “keyword analysis” and “recent keyword activity”. This is where things get really interesting in terms of SEO and earning income online. You will be able to see what words people are using to find your website as well as a list of how many times each term has been used to find your website.

So let me give you an example. Say your website is about “making money on the Internet”. You might start to notice that many of the people coming to your site through search engines are finding you through the term “make cash on the web”. What often happens is you aren’t even going after that term but the search engines are ranking you high for that.

Here is the juicy part. What I then do is make a small list of the words people are using to find my site and then start using them in my site. Ways that you can use them is write some posts with the keywords in the title, add the keywords as tags if you’re using word press, and also inside posts that you write make that new keyword an anchored link back to your homepage or better yet the post that relates to it. You can also start using these new found keywords in your article marketing efforts.

So if you’re taking your online residual income business seriously then you really need to start learning more about how your users are interacting with your website or blog and also how they are finding you. Once you start to use the above technique you will really start to notice your current online income grow as well as your site traffic!

If you want to make an online residual income and you want to start off fast without all of the waiting there is a way to get around it. Basically what you can do is buy a website that is already generating an online passive income. Yes that’s true people actually sell websites after they have built them up.

Let’s start off by explaining why buying a website that is already making a residual online income is a good idea. First of all when you start a new website on the internet in order to actually start being found by Google there is a waiting period or what is referred to as the Google “sandbox” in internet marketing circles. This is an unofficial time period of between three months to one year where new websites basically are not really found in search results by Google. It’s to protect people from spam websites that want to generate quick income online and then move on. What this means for you is even if you produce a legit website you’ll be waiting about three months at least until you see any income coming in.

Another good reason to buy a website that is already is making some money is that if you buy a proper site, the person who is running it has already done the keyword research, design, and search engine optimization for you. It couldn’t get easier then that. All you have to do is maintain the website by writing some content and keep updating the SEO of it. If you do that and you have purchased a proper site you will continue to generate passive income for a long time to come.

Now if you do want to buy a website that is already making an income online I would head over to the website sitepoint.com and then go browse around in there marketplace section. There you will be able to look through what people are offering. People usually price a website for 8-12 months of what they make monthly. So if they are earning $100 a month of residual income through Adsense then they will probably sell there site for between $800-1200 and that would be a fair price to ask. Just remember to make sure that you ask to see proof of what kind of income the site you are thinking about is actually making.

So if you really want to make an online income, then buying a website that is already generating money might be a great place to start. The good thing is you’ll already be earning residual income every month and you’ll start to understand how the whole system works and feels. As this purchased website is working away for you then you’ll just keep building your other sites in the background. If you do have a bit of income to put down I would really recommend this method of getting your feet wet in this game!

Well today I want to speak to you about the way many people are able to develop their first stream of residual income online. This method is by signing up and using Google’s amazing contextual advertising program called Adsense. If you are interested in the internet and understand a bit about how to develop websites or write good content then this might be just the residual income business opportunity that you’re looking for.

Today I just want to explain to you some of the basics of this lovely passive money generator and then in subsequent articles we will get into more and more details on how to succeed with it. First of all you will want to have yourself one or several good websites that have useful information and well written articles in order to use Adsense effectively. Some popular topics for websites that seem to work pretty well for many people and pay well when using Adsense are subjects like finance, investing, medicine, business, marketing, culture, beauty, and many more.

The next thing you will need is lots of targeted web traffic. Now I’m not going to get into how to get web traffic today but I will say that in order to actually make Adsense a viable business opportunity that you are actually making an income from you will need lots of visitors coming to interact with your website.

If you have a good website that does have solid traffic then you are probably ready to sign up and use Google Adsense to start earning a decent online passive income. Signing up for an account is not too hard, It is a bit of a tedious process but once it’s all done and set you’re good to go forever as long as you stick to the rules and don’t abuse the program.

What will happen once you insert the Adsense code within the webpages of your existing site is Adsense will read the content and display Ads that are relevant to your content therefore increasing the chances that your users will end up clicking on them. Every time a user clicks you get paid. It’s a great online residual income model for you to try out. Like I said as long as you are interested in the Internet, building up and writing content for websites then this might be just the perfect match for you!
