I have mentioned in previous posts that I have a few eBay affiliate sites setup and wanted to give an update on how they are doing. I have been slacking on them because I have been so focused on this site and promoting it. This site has kept me so busy that that my other projects are lacking (I will admit I try to do a lot of projects at once). I have some done some link building on my supplement store and gained some traffic from it but it is still low. The one thing that is hardest for me is getting traffic. It’s not like a normal site or blog so marketing is different. Affiliate marketing is a lot of work but I think it will pay off with time.
For the month of February I made a little under $8. It is a low amount but has been the best month income wise from my sites.  I need to work on generating traffic and writing content. Right now they are setup with the main landing page just showing the items for sale with no content. I have read that adding a few posts can make a difference in generating traffic.

The main income was from eBay commission but I had a little from adsense too. The breakdown is:

eBay:
The Iphone Shoppe: $0.66
Supplement Shop Online: $6.32

adsense:
Porsche Car Sale: $1.00
Supplement Shop Online: $0.49
The Iphone Shoppe: $0.03

For next month my goal is hit $10 from my sites and keep focusing on growing them. My plans are to convert them to more of mini blogs than just eBay landing pages.

I also am working on a launching another blog about weight loss and weight loss help. I also plan to launch a blog with it as well. I already have the domains and have had this plan for a while I am just still working on getting it ready. I hope to launch the new site in the beginning of April.  My goals for this month are set high so we shall see if I can accomplish everything.

How many projects have you started that you never completed or realized it was not a great idea once you got started?

I was logged into today checking some settings on a domain I was transferring and I realized that I own 65 domains. I know to some people that it’s not a lot but 2 months ago I think I had 3. At first I was in shock and did not realize I had so many then I looked at my list and it started to make sense I just never kept an actual number of how many I owned. I know to become an internet entrepreneur it involves owning and managing sites but I did not think I would acquire so many so fast. Read the rest of this entry »

After writing my two posts My first steps to become an internet entrepreneur and Becoming an internet entrepreneur I wanted to give an update of what I am working on and my progress.

Right now my main priority is this site. I check my affiliate sites occasionally but right now I am putting 95% of my efforts into this site. I want to focus on one thing at a time because I have the habit of starting 8 projects and finishing 3. The main things I want to work on are tweak the design, work on generating traffic, and applying seo tactics.

It looks like the traffic spike I had over the weekend is on the decline. I was looking at google analytics this moring and my numbers have defiantly decreased. Monday I had 151 visitors, Tuesday I dropped to 42, and Wednesday I dropped even lower to 29. In some ways its good though because it was not quality traffic. I had a bounce rate of 74% and only gained 2 new rss subscribers. This is good though it lets me know I need to keep writing good content and keep working on my site to improve it.

Last week I wrote an article talking about my first steps to become an internet entrepreneur. This week I wanted to give you a little update on my sites and how they are doing. Right now I have:

www.supplementshoponline.com/
www.theiphoneshoppe.com/
www.porschecarsale.com/
www.onlinemazdacarparts.com/
www.bargaingolfstore.com/

When I started out and was doing my planning most people recommended eBay affiliate sites because of the ease of setup and revenue earned. The first site I built (www.supplementshoponline.com) is a site powered by build a niche site or normally called bans. When I first started out I wanted to build a few sites with build a niche store. The only thing I did not like about the software was the cookie cutter style of the sites. I saw examples of people who did a lot of customizing and when you looked at the site it was easy to spot it was built with bans. I decided to have my first site customized and the designer did a good job but it still looks cookie cutter to me.

After doing some research I found a piece of software call phpb Read the rest of this entry »

Over the weekend I have 395 new visitors to my site. I was shocked when I looked at google analytics this morning. I could not get over the number of hits I received in such a short period of time. I was so shocked and excited I went to feedburner immediately to check how many new readers signed up to my rss feed. To my surprise I only received 2 new readers, dont get me wrong I am thankful for the readers I have and I am overwhelmed that I received so many new visitors but I would have guessed I would have picked up more readers.

Here is screen shot of my google analytics showing the massive spike in traffic. I am still trying to grasp the surge in traffic.
