Keyword Crash Course community....

I'll give you an example. My ecommerce site made its first sale in
November of 2006, and finished 2008 with over $100,000 in sales
for the year. There's a lot I would change about the site, but I
suppose you have to call a site that grosses six figures a success.

While the site is doing well, there are a couple of things I'd
really do differently if I could go back to two years ago when I
started. Today I'll share one with you. Here is what I consider
the biggest mistake I made with my ecommerce site:

I only started one.

I guess this isn't a mistake with the site itself, but it's a
mistake I made with my overall internet income goals. Only starting
one site had two major consequences:

1. I had all my plans, hopes, and dreams riding on one site. This
set me up to be discouraged and frustrated when the site wasn't
making me rich overnight, even though it was growing steadily.
You'll always be discouraged if you attach your goals and dreams to
a site that can never deliver what you want - at least not all by
itself.

2. I moved too slowly. A big part of success online is just sitting
around and waiting - waiting for links to index, waiting for domains
to age, waiting for rankings to improve. While you're waiting you
can either obsess over each visitor to your site and each adsense
click you get, or you can start several other sites and get them on
the same growth path as the first.

Think about it - would it make sense for a farmer to plant just one
seed, and then sit and stare at it for months to make sure it grows?

"I better make sure this one pans out before I plant any more."

Meanwhile, there's a whole field of fertile soil being neglected
(by you, that is - your competition is planting seeds all around
you, all the time).

Don't Let Time Pass You By

As we've taught you more and more about keyword targeting I've had
a recurring fear - the fear that you'll do a little "case study"
of your own, with a single site, and after a few months you'll get
that number 1 spot on Google. You'll be elated because you'll feel
like you finally cracked the Google code, you've made it, arrived,
etc...but then the site won't make much. Maybe $3 to $5 per day...
or maybe nothing.

But let's say it does average $5 every day. Personally, I think a
$5 per day site is something to be excited about when it's part of
a portfolio of ten similar earners. But if you invest 6 months into
getting that one site ranked, and then another month or two watching
it get to $5 per day, you're going to be furious, and if you're not
- you should be.

Because in the same eight months you could have created ten or
twenty - or thirty - of those sites. And instead of making $150 per
month online, you'd be making $1200 to $1500...or more (we've had
students blow past $1,500 per month like it's nothing). $1,500 per
month covers quite a few bills doesn't it? Pays off some debt? Might
even cover the rent or the mortgage.

Or...it could pay for an amazing two week family vacation - every
six months.

How Do You Start Multiple Sites Without Spreading Yourself Too Thin?

To avoid starting a bunch of sites and getting nowhere with them,
here's what I advise:

Find ten great keywords, buy the domains and start linking to them
- get them aging from day one.

Set up all ten domains on one hosting account (to save money...we
use hostgator.com - they're easy to use and very inexpensive - you
can host unlimited domains for under eight bucks a month).

Install Wordpress on all ten sites (a two or three click process if
you host with hostgator.com). Create one 300-500 word post (with a
post title that contains your main keyword) for each site and
publish it.

Get all ten sites into Google's index. The fastest way to do that
is to get a few links from other sites already in Google's index.

So now you have ten sites set up, indexed by Google, and aging.

What's next?

Build the Site with the Most Promise While the Others Age

Choose the keyword with the most promise - the one with the least
competition and the most profit potential.

Once you've chosen your most promising keyword, aggressively build
that site. Add ten pages of SEO-friendly content and start building
links like crazy with the right anchor text.

After finishing the content on your first site, move on to another,
write the content, begin building links and so on. After a few
months all ten sites will have content, some age in Google's index,
and lots of solid links.

Not long after your first site starts making a few dollars a day,
the rest of your sites will catch up and you'll be on your way to
the passive internet income you've hoped for.

So be a smart farmer...plant some seeds and get ready for rich
harvest in just a few short months.
