Furthering My Pursuit To Make Online Income

Considering the little time I've had to devote toward today's online income earning efforts, I've actually accomplished quite a bit. I posted two articles to eHow on Linux virtual machine configurations, and I wrote a 600 word EZine article on using virtualization to create a virus-free web browsing experience (I know you aren't interested in the subject - I'm just trying to make this text relevant to the link I just placed). Although it will likely take the Ezine post a couple weeks to get published, I linked the virtual machine article to the eHow guides with some wholesome anchor text - hopefully, in a couple weeks, I'll see a little spike in eHow's already potent Google juice.

I'm also currently adding to this blog for your viewing pleasure, and when I finish this post, I plan on working on my niche site. Speaking of that damn project, I'd like to briefly discuss my current strategy for creating content for the niche site. I've already mentioned that I'm using keyword optimization to focus on several niche topics in hopes of maxing my initial earning potential. Therefore, I've selected a few relevant topics that cater to my low competition, high search volume, and high CPC keywords, and have been tying them altogether.

I've been creating content for the site from the inside-out, essentially focusing on writing the more obscure articles first, and tackling the broader subjects last. So, hypothetically, if I were creating an additional site on how to make online income (so much for a niche...), I'd begin first by writing a batch of articles on topics like "addressing duplicate content issues in Google indexing", eventually broadening my articles to discuss more general subjects like offering basic Adsense tips. Using this method, I not only force myself to do the bulk of my research early on, but when it comes time to write on the broader topics, I can create logically placed internal links without much additional effort. As I'm learning more and more, external links are great, but you're not practicing good SEO without the use of internal links.

One last thing before I move on:

I want to give a quick shout out to a loyal reader, Crystal. Without any bribing or begging on my part, she gave a much appreciated holler to Cash Money Retards by posting a very flattering entry on her blog. On 'The Best 50 Years', Crystal manages to make light of a subject that most of us fear - getting old. Now, being a strapping young buck like myself, I can't quite yet cash in on her well-written aging advice, but my infant daughter is pushing me a little closer every day. We may not be writing on the same subject matter, but it's all about networking and learning from each other. Good lookin' out, Crystal!

Good Night Never Never Land!

Hey Dave - Thanks for the link! Getting older is nothing to fear - if you enjoy your baby daughter now, just wait until you have grandkids - it's the best!!! On another note, if you aren't already familiar with the blog www.nojobformom.com/ by Felicia Williams, check it out. She's a freelance writer who has posted a wealth of information on making money online.

Dave - Yesterday on the No Job for Mom blog, Felicia posted an update on her eHow experience and what she's learned over the past year. Since joining eHow 9/25/08, she's earned almost $2,700. Hope you have similar success to report next year - or better yet, even sooner!

Man, $2700 sounds delicious. I have no doubt she's worked hard to earn that. I suppose I'm due for another post here soon. I've been working quite a bit on my niche sites. I'll try to get an end-of-month status report up here today or tomorrow. Thanks Crystal!
