If you’ve been trying to make money from home, but are finding no success, then this article might be the most freeing article you’ve read yet because I will not only tie in the whole system of how to make money with Google Adsense and blogs, but also how to keep it from being a time consuming endeavor.

In this post I want to give you the whole money making plan in a summary and highlight some really important points about business success that could make or break you.

How To Make Money From Home – The Plan

If you want to create a low maintenance online income, then you will want to be able to create little mini sites that bring in traffic and cash on a daily basis with very little work or time from you. You should aim to make $3-$15 a day with each site. You can scale up later if you like.

In order to do this you should utilize blogs and Google Adsense. The process is simply to create a blog that targets one keyword phrase. It should have 5 total post on it. Each post should be a related keyword of the main keyword phrase.

Each post should link back to the homepage of the blog with the keyword that you want to rank for. Each page should only display one post and should have the keywords in the title, header, bolded somewhere in the post, and have keywords in the beginning and end of the post.

Every post should have at least one block of adsense, preferably the 336×280, before the blog content, but after the title. The blog should be plain and ugly so that visitors want to click away, but content should be good. Not like in school, but in a easy to read conversational style.

You should put an Adsense tower in the sidebar. The blog should only have 2 columns and you should have the blog hosted on your on site and should use WordPress for your blog platform.

Be sure to also put the links to the 4 other post in the sidebar of your blog. Now you are ready to make money with your blog once the traffic starts coming in.

To actually make money once your blog is set up, which should take less than 3 hours including adding post, you will need to get traffic to make money. Don’t get it twisted, your first blog may take a little longer, there’s a very small learning curve as with anything, but you’ll be ok.

For your traffic, you should focus on search engine optimization (SEO). This type of traffic is the most highly targeted traffic that you can get, it is automated, and is passive.

Traffic that comes from being ranked high in the search engines is traffic that will come in day in and day out so that you can spend your time living life or creating more sites that will bring in money.

You get ranked in the search engines by doing two things: onpage optimization and offpage optimization.

On page optimization is what I talked about earlier: putting keywords in the right places on your site.

Off page optimization is the process of getting targeted anchor backlinks pointing to your site and individual pages for the keyword phrases that you want to rank for.

Off page optimization accounts for approximately 90%+ or more of your rankings. The more high quality links that you have pointing to your pages that have the keyword phrases that you want to rank for the higher you will rank.

You can start getting those links by submitting unique articles to major article directories like ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, and articlebase.com. You can also find article submitters that will mass submit your articles for you like Magic Article Submitter.

You can also get links by finding related websites online and exchanging links. One way links count more, so try to give links from one site and get them to anther. This is what we call a 3 way link exchange.

Step #1: Keyword research. You have to find keywords that are “non competitve”, but can deliver enough traffic for you to make some money. You should look for keywords that have at least 3,000 searches a month, yet don’t have more than 15,000 competing websites. You can check for that by doing a search in Yahoo with “YOUR KEYWORD HERE” with quotes around the keyword. Then look at the results.

This step will make or break you. If you pick the wrong keywords it could take forever or never that you get any ranking let alone first page ranking. This is the most critical step. Without traffic you don’t make money.

Step #2: Setting up your blog around your keyword phrase: The next step is to set up your blog with 5 post and doing on page optimization. Be sure to put your main keyword in your domain name and interlink post to the homepage.

Step #3: Getting links: If you don’t get links, don’t expect to get traffic. If you don’t get traffic, don’t expect to make any money. If you don’t rank on the first page of the major search engines you will always have to work or pay for your traffic and you will be not be creating freedom.

Step #4: Monitor & Track: It’s important to monitor and track your your results and success. You should have a stat counter in place, a way to quickly find your rankings for your keyword phrases, and to monitor your CTR and money made per click.

Step #5: Get More Links!

Keep getting links to your blog, and keep getting links to the pages linking to you and you will continue to rank #1.

Rest. Repeat.

How To Create A Successful Non Time Consuming Business

The goal is not to create busy work, but to do exactly what needs to be done to make money and that’s it. This is where we use the 80/20 rule and goals with time deadlines.

The 80/20 rule states that you will get 80% of your results from 20% of your work. The steps I listed above for this business are the 20% of work that will produce 80% of the results. This will allow you to work less and make more while taking time off and enjoying life and pursuing dreams.

Every goal that you set should have a time deadline. Also every goal should should be broken down into mini goals. Those mini goals should be able to be completed in 15-30 minutes. Then everyday you do those mini goals because that will result in completing your end goal.

This keeps you focused and productive. Don’t wasted time. Only do what is listed above and then get offline and enjoy life. Unless you just want to hang out and watch YouTube or Hulu videos.
