Comments on: How to make $3 – 700 Times A Day! http://www.jonasblog.com/2009/02/how-to-make-3-700-times-a-day.html John Jonas on Living The 4-Hour Workweek Sat, 31 Jul 2010 18:18:03 +0000 hourly 1 By: Carl http://www.jonasblog.com/2009/02/how-to-make-3-700-times-a-day.html/comment-page-1#comment-64104 Carl Tue, 11 May 2010 11:43:28 +0000 http://www.jonasblog.com/?p=726#comment-64104 Let’s do some numbers… 765 domains at $10 (rounded off depending on your registrar) per 1 year registration is $7650.00 a year. To host this number of sites, the least you need is a reseller account or even a VPS. Let’s go for a reseller account. Hostgator offers a reseller account starting at $24.95 per month with 50GB disc space and 500GB monthly bandwidth. That’s big. You can easily host 150-200 sites depending how complicated your site is. To be on the conservative side, let’s say you get 4 such reseller packages or a total of $99.80 a month or $1,197.60 a year. There are bigger reseller packages but we’ll not go there. The main purpose is to spread you sites in different account so that if anything happens to one account you’ve got other accounts active. Also, it would be better to get reseller accounts from different hosting companies to get a varied IP and then you can link between your sites. BTW, all reseller account much have WHM. In Tip 13 Jonas, showed about 6 people he has working for him. Let’s say he pays each at $250 a month so that makes $3000 a year times 6 people for total of $18,000 a year. So $7,650.00 + $1,197.60 + $18,000.00 = $26,847.60 With his example of $90 per site per month, the gross is $65,850/month or $826,200/year. With only $30 per site per month, that’s $275,400/year. And to be more conservative, at only $15 per site per month the gross would still be $137,700. Deduct $26,847.60 from any of the gross yearly income above and still you’ll end up in the positive. And that at almost doing nothing. Next question is, is it possible for a site to earn $90, $30 or even $15 a month? We should note that note all sites we create would earn the same. Some may become big hits while others will be duds. There’s just so many variables. We can never know before hand how a site will do. There are also many factors to consider if a site is to earn. 1. It would depend on the monetization model. For niche sites the two most popular would be Adsense or affiliate marketing like Amazon, Clickbank, Share a sale, etc. 2. How good the keyword research is. This means competition, monthly searches and for Adsense, CPC. 3. SEO, both on site and off site. For on site. How good is the site layout, Wordpress or static HTML. Overall design of the site and content. This include how to convert visitors to either buy the product or click the ads. From here you’ll get the CTR and the aim is always for something high. For off site. How to get the site into the 1st page of the serach engines and preferably in the top 3 results. This means backlinks. How to get good backlinks with a good backlinking campain. I’ve rattled off too long. But basically it is possible to get that many websites online and earn money. With outsourced work it becomes even easier and the only way to go. It really becomes a business with the owner as the manager. Let’s do some numbers…

765 domains at $10 (rounded off depending on your registrar) per 1 year registration is $7650.00 a year.

To host this number of sites, the least you need is a reseller account or even a VPS. Let’s go for a reseller account.

In Tip 13 Jonas, showed about 6 people he has working for him. Let’s say he pays each at $250 a month so that makes $3000 a year times 6 people for total of $18,000 a year.
So

$7,650.00 + $1,197.60 + $18,000.00 = $26,847.60

With his example of $90 per site per month, the gross is $65,850/month or $826,200/year.

With only $30 per site per month, that’s $275,400/year. And to be more conservative, at only $15 per site per month the gross would still be $137,700.

Or do you sub niche some of the domains... say a website devoted to babies might have 10 different subpages or sub blogs with different niche products on it?? Just curious.

So there should be more discussion about the total costs associated with this program. $3 * 30 = $90 income Hosting costs Outsourcing costs Administration costs Affiliate, merchant account, eBay, other costs All of this = operating costs that have to be less than $90 per month which yields gross profit I have seen a few models promoted that provide a lot of sales but not a lot of gross profit. So your discussion should include a bit more about this. yogiway It is not about how much you make it is about how much you keep.

$3 * 30 = $90 income
Hosting costs
Outsourcing costs
Administration costs
Affiliate, merchant account, eBay, other costs
All of this = operating costs that have to be less than $90 per month
which yields gross profit
I have seen a few models promoted that provide a lot of sales but not a lot of gross profit. So your discussion should include a bit more about this.

And I can resell the hosting as well. There are definitely good deals out there.

I am looking to do more with the internet, and keep wondering is it really that easy? Hopefully I will find out soon. I find myself getting excited, the more I learn.

Does that include researching niches and keywords? I know building traffic can be pretty time consuming, web 2.0, articles so i'm thinking it will take a lot longer than 30mins to build a ready to go site. In the video Joel mentioned he made around 860 sites in a yr. That equates to only 2.5 sites per day and he mentioned is does outsource. Joel also mentions in the video you can easily build 10 sites a day on your own so why is his outsource guys only doing 2.5. Hmmmm 30mins to build the mini sites.

You also have the costs of domains, traffic geyser at 97 per mth plus whatever the cost is for the other tools ( phpBay Pro, Datafeedr and terapeak ) mentioned in the video. To be honest i don't mind initial set-up cost because you will make that money back but i am a bit annoyed about the misleading time frames mentioned in the video. Can someone who has used the system give a true time frame on the end to end process to build a $3 minisite including niche research, keyword research, building the website and also building the traffic?

(given that they know how to publish wordpress sites and ftp etc) So at the end of the first month, by making 2 a day a person will earn about $180 in the first month by following this system. Secondly, can we get a qualified answer on the use of subdomains? For a lot of people it's a good economical option. But is it a viable option for this system? Thirdly are these sites adsense driven? and do we have to use ebay? Is this something that a person can make money from on day 1?
