Working a full-time Job and trying to make money online can be difficult. Lack of time and family responsibilities can make finding enough time to create sites almost impossible. It doesn’t help when many e-books tell you to do thinks like write 5 articles a day for distribution. Outsourcing the work is not usually an option as you will be spending a lot of money even before you start to make an income.

I have lost count of the times we’ve had new members sign up who have spent hundreds of dollars on e-books and programs but have put none of it into practice because of lack of time. Or even worse have put it into practice but haven’t had the necessary knowledge to take it any further and make a profit.

In one case a member had spent over $1500 and hadn’t made any money back. What they failed to realize that no matter what the program or type of site you will still need to promote it.

In one of the forums i visit recently one of the members was telling everyone how he planned to start off by building 30 sites then leaving them for a few weeks and then seeing which ones were making money. He failed to grasp the fact that having bought 30 domains he would need to make over $300 before he broke even. Despite my best efforts he maintained that he had more chance of making money with 30 sites as he did by concentrating on one or 2 sites. He completely failed to take into account that he would need to promote all 30 sites and that would take 30 times more work that on 1 sites.

You need to look for something that’s quick to set up, requires very little maintenance and is easy to promote. Once these initial sites are making you money then you can re-invest some of the profit into outsourcing and take on much bigger projects. It’s also preferable to make mistakes on small projects.

When I started out I created a series of Adsense sites, they were quick to build, I added some unique content to them on a semi regular basis and did a small bit of promotion work. This income soon built up until it was at a level where I could afford to undertake bigger projects and know that I would still have an income at the end of the month.

If you are just starting out it makes a lot of sense to use some of the many free resources available to you. Google Alerts will give you daily updates on your niches which you can turn into content for your sites in a few moments. I used Wordpress which is available for free and a freely available datafeed to create a site that has pulled in over $300 so far. The total cost of the build was $8 which was what the domain cost me and I created it in about 15 minutes. You don’t need to spend $100’s to make money.

There are many free resources available. a quick search around the internet and a few forums will throw up a whole host of them.
