As I wrote in Part 1, you need a blog that has ~30 pages of unique content, Pagerank, indexed pages, ~300 deeplinks. The videos and photos are just for show, indexed pages count, and to snatch some social traffic.

Keep updating, and submitting every page of content to social sites.

Why is your first blog an asset? Because one, you will make money from it, and two, you can leverage on it.

How can you leverage on your blog? Simple, post and write about every new website you make! Link to it from the blogroll. The initial boost is not much, but its much more than a big fat zero. Start your second website a step higher, and leverage on both your third website etc etc. That is the concept.

If you manage to create some loyal readers, they will be glad to check out your new sites, or become members in your new forum etc. You can also leverage your social bookmarking profiles, by sending your new site to your friends there to check it out.

As I said, at first the difference is small. But learn to leverage, and someday you will be able to launch a new site in a single week.

How to make the blog an asset? Monetize it. No matter your traffic, you can monetize it with text link sales. These will be hard to get, but once you do, they will become your solid money-makers, unlike ppc ads. Of course, you will put ppc ads as well…

I suggest that you put up both TLA and TNX. TLA might not accept your site if it has no visible links and PR, that is why I said in the first post to let your blog mature a bit. Just signup at everything, and submit your blog to all of them. Whichever passes, and relist after a month.

For ppc ads, put up Adsense or Adrbrite, but don’t sweat it. Don’t sit there and refresh your stats every 10 minutes to see the next 0.04$ click. Keep building.

The next great moneymakers are paid reviews. Who would pay you for a review, you might ask? Well, plenty of people. 2 ways to find people paying for reviews are digitalpoint fora and Reviewme.com

The first is simply the biggest, loudest, noobiest and lamest Internet Marketing forum in existence. Go to the Buy and sell section, and start selling paid posts, blogroll links, and ad spots if you are lucky to find someone that stupid.

The second, ReviewMe.com is a great marketplace for paid reviews. The system shows you what reviews are available for the tags you selected, and you accept the offer, and write a review for the buyer, usually a site with a service of some sort.

The tough part is getting your blog accepted in Reviewme.com, because they seem to have pretty high standards for inclusion. I think, the blog needs to be at least pr2, have around 500 yahoo linkdomain, and ~100 visitors per day. They also factor in your Alexa rank. Those numbers are a rough estimate of mine, from my blogs that got in, and those that didn’t. They are not accurate, just there to give you an idea.

As soon as you manage to get into Reviewme.com, you will have a constant stream of reviews available, for 20$-40$ each. Those reviews are an easy 60-70$ monthly income alone.

Even if your blog does not make it into the services I list above, try to make do with digitalpoint until your blog grows enough to get into them.

Once you get the hang of it, you will be able to earn ~50$ passively, ~80$ actively, and have a PR 2-3 blog + traffic to leverage from for your next site/asset. Even more of course, the only limit is in your mind.

Each step will be easier, in each step you will learn more, and become more experienced.

In each step you will slowly shift from the worker mindset, to the businessman mindset, always trying to find ways to make the sites work with little or no maintenance. Ways for users to generate traffic, content and links. Ways for users to moderate themselves. Ways to earn money on autopilot, with you only keeping an eye on things.

But in order for those things to happen, you need to work your ass off first. Sorry, but it is the truth.
