I set a goal a while back of making $1,000 a month all through online ventures.

I haven’t hit that goal yet — half-assing everything will give you results like that — but I did make $378.50 total in the last month.  In other words, I’m fucking rich as shit now.

What brought in the majority of the results?

A good portion of my income came from 1 article I wrote, that led to one text-only web page I made, that contained one link to a digital product.  $298.90 of my sales came from that one article alone.  I did no maintenance on this article or the site that it leads to after it was initially put up.

I’m working on expanding and replicating that success right now by creating nearly identical sites targeting different keywords.

What’s my current strategy?

I’m still trying to sell both digital and physical products.  I’m actually working on a couple basic sites to sell physical items through Amazon.

But, for the most part, I find keywords that get at least some (50+) searches a day and use backlink building to target those keywords.  In other words, I perform basic SEO to get my sites to rank higher in Google for not-so-competitive keywords.

Does none of this make any sense to you?  I’ll have a thorough post explaining everything I do to make money online once I’ve hit my $1,000-a-month goal, which shouldn’t be too long from now.  All the stupid terminology in here will make sense in that post, and I’ll explain how much work I put in daily, what I outsource, what I do myself, and so on.  A teaser for it: I’m doing all of this as low-effort as possible.

Mostly I just wanted to put this up as a reminder that I’m still alive.
