I like to read ProBlogger. Today I was reading an interview with Lee Dodd, who started a place called Earnersforum.com, a site dedicated to learning to monetize more on the web. Lee is 27 years old and recently earned over 222,000 in a 3-month period. Yes, for those of you doing the math at home, that’s a yearly income of almost $900,000. Wow. Most of the income comes from advertising revenue from his sites.
Now for those of you who get real excited about this, good, you should. It’s harder than you would think. First you need to find a great, unsaturated niche, develop great content, create a diehard fan base, a “sticky” site that draws in repeat visitors, and pick a good advertising program. Then wait with your fingers crossed. It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme.
It’s free to register. My user name is Lauren Hidden. Hope to see you there!

August 29, 2006 @ 9:47 pmThanks for the tip on the website! I’ve checked it out and have registered under the username bsetc. I look forward to reading about what the internet marketers are doing to earn that much cash quickly. I don’t plan on implementing every strategy, since I prefer to focus on a few things at a time, but it does seem like a great place to come back to when the thoughts dry up a little.
Cheers!
