Last year i started selling some of my adsense websites to an online community of buyers on flippa.com. ive had some great success and wish to share this with you guys as this could be a viable and easy income stream if you guys learn it. However before you learn to sell you need to learn to build - ill soon be offering a class in building and selling adsense sites - id like to know your thoughts on this...

More Adsense Success!

My "offline" seo consultancy business - helping small and medium sized business get customers online
Sometimes I have a hard time getting prospects to understand what it is that I do -so here’s a scenario and an actual case study –
The local home remodeler
Dave smith is a remodeler in Woods bridge Virginia USA - he specializes in kitchen remodeling. Most of his business comes from within his county, a radius of about 30 miles.
Dave is 60 years old, he is not internet savvy, he has a facebook account (one month old) that he uses to post pics of his newly born grand-son. other than that he checks his Gmail and goes to CNN sports to check the latest scores –that pretty much sums up his life online.
As far as advertising for his business goes - he has a listing in the phone book, has put out ads in local papers and publication, a big sign out on his office lawn, a few trucks with his number on it,and a website built for him five years ago by a visiting niece - it is sitting on the 15th page of Google and is nowhere on yahoo and bing. The url of his site is www.davesmithemodelling.info ( a .info costs .89 cents and is not recommended because spammers use it because its cheap, but dave didn’t know that and his web designer didnt know that either so he’s stuck with a domain name that the search engines do not like)
Dave isn’t getting enough business. He wants to try this internet thing “new”. He finds me online, calls me and says he has a small advertising budget he asks what i can do for him to increase his visibility on this "new" "dang fangled internet thingy"
Will it get him leads, how much time will it take etc.. the usual questions
I ask him a few questions like, what’s your website url, how many visitors a day, do you have an opt-in form, where is the website on the web ???(on the first page, second?) he draws a blank , and asks me where can he get this info, I tell him ill get it for you, and ill give him a free keyword/competitor analysis and from there ill develop a campaign or plan of action to get visitors to his site, (if that doesn’t work we will spend a few dollars on a pay per click campaign on Google adwords and yahoo)
We get off the phone i get to work. I research keywords for Dave, go into Google adwords external keyword tool, check out how many people were searching for his keywords. I start with a base set of keywords from general to specific like, "kitchen remodeling" kitchen remodeling va" kitchen remodeling woods bridge va"- heres what i find - kitchen remodeling was searched for 22,000 times, kitchen remodeling Va 1,800 times, kitchen remodeling Woods bridge Va, was searched zero times
Armed wth that data i check out whats on the first page of Google for kitchen remodeling Va ( i picked that keyword as it is more specific ) i find that there
are a few websites that we can topple for this specific term, - if we buy the domain name and create a second site and slap on some relevant content so now he has a second site http://kitchenremodelingva.com which Google and yahoo love because of the relevant url (http://kitchenremodelingva.com) and relevant title ( kitchen remodeling va) of his new -(if all that doesn’t work we will spend a few dollars on a pay per click campaign on Google adwords and yahoo)
we do this and its on the first page of google in two weeks, i also include his site on google maps and he gets a lsiting on the first page as well, we do a few yotube videos
add an opt-in page on the new site to capture emails and send them offfers and discounts, create a newsletter for his new subscribers (by now he as a modest 30) and in a few months
his other site (the original one) is creeping up the rankings as well due to the "backlinking" service we outsourced, also we have added content on Press release sites, article directories,
placed ads on free classifieds, developed web 2.o properties , added social media into the mix (facebook, twitter, linkedin etc..) 60 days later, his new site is on the first page ranked number 4, his old site is on the 10th spot
and he has a press release that we wrote for him occupying the 5th spot.
Dave is now dominating the first page of Google for the keywords "kitchen remodeling va"and is getting three to four more calls a day and is converting one out of five prospects into clients. The only problem is that a lot of the calls are coming form out of county -should he set-up a second office??? hmmm...
-------------------------
Ericka – Events management
Ericka is much savvier, shes only 30 and like most her age knows her way around the web , has all the prerequisite social media things going for her. She twits, updates her facebook fan page, has a blog and website about her events company / agency in Manila, She engages my services because wants to get more foreign clients.
Her company (around town productions) website is on the 40th page of Google, her blog is nowhere to be found - she asks me for help.
Given that she knows how to work these sites and wants to save money on writer’s fees, Ericka does her own writing, we just tell her what to write about and tell her where to put her content
We research her keywords, check out websites that are competing against her in the industry and choose the keyword phrases “event management manila” “event management Philippines” “event organizer manila” “event organizer Philippines” to attack
We tell her to create a free blog on blogger.com (http://eventorgmanila.blogspot.com ) , buy some domain names , write articles and put content on the free web 2.o sites that we have identified for her that will rank well on the engines.
To push her company site to the top we ask her to write 450 word article on “event management Manila” and publish it on her site. Then we ask her to re-hash this and put her content on several other web 2.0 sites . Within one month Ericka has forty percent of the first page of Google and Yahoo for the keywords we attacked. ( you can go check on Google )
The results..
Two weeks later she gets calls from an MLM company in Canada, one from salt lake city Utah, and a few inquiries from Singapore and Pakistan for a construction convention the are joining late this year. These new inquiries also give her insight into what events foreign companies are participating in the Philippines and soon she breaks into the construction convention market and generates three more clients - but this time she is targeting “construction trade show events Philippines” for her online campaign
Needless to say, things are exciting for her right now – Her foreign clients alone , the ones who found her services through her blog, company site and web 2.0 sites add an extra $100,000 dollars a year to her bottom line. Not too shabby for a company with three employees (including driver)
*****
ive found that sometimes the difference between success and failure (online and offline) is a small weak, a tiny discovery - in both cases they were just a keyword away from sucess, you financial success may be just around the corner - here's to you finding that "golden keyword" for y0ur business

successful filipino entrepreneur interviews paco mapa
Paco mapa is a 43 year old online marketer and seo consultant, he builds websites that make money out of Google adsense. In late 2005 He quit his 9-5 job the moment his earnings online became triple his salary. Today he sits quietly at home, listening to chill out music while working on his numerous net projects. We catch up with him on rainy afternoon in June to ask him about making money online
Dont forget to sign up on the free newsletter on the right side-- --->>>>>>>>>>>>
How did you get started making money online?
Around 2002, when my mom died of cancer our financial situation was in shambles, we had very little money after the hospital bills, to make matters worse , my father had just been laid off from his job in the USA, so we had bills to pay and my 9-5 salary wasn’t going to cut it..”
Since my dad knew how to speak several languages I thought that there may be an online site where he can offer a language course and hed get paid for it..”
Were there such opportunities online?
“yes, lots! I was surprised in fact..thats when I saw all these ads and stuff teaching you how to make money online..then I got sidetracked and started buying ebooks and courses..”
Sidetracked?
Yes, I bought one ebook after another, always being on the “opportunity treadmill” you know , hopping from one method to another without following through with the present course or ebook – needless to say i never made money and ended up spending a lot of cash on ebooks that in the long run were worthless…
So when did you finally start making money..
Around 2003-2004 I started making money on adsense, and cpa ( cost per action) offers, adsense is the profit sharing patform of Google, they send me checks every month, and im happy to say that the checks are getting bigger and bigger…as for cpa , that’s another exciting business model , you get people to sign up on offers and surveys and you get paid – its absolutely free to join and you can make 150-200 dollars a day doing it
How exactly do you make money online? You mentioned websites
Yes Websites. Ok, first of all – I do not know a single thing about building websites, I just use wordpress blogs and have them installed by someone online who knows the tech ystuff, I pay her 400 pesos per website to upload and install the files – I am one of the least techy persons I know .
I research keywords , buy the domains and have the sites “installed” for me, I typically build four a month, although I could do much more but im lazy. These four websites that I build a will typically earn me only five to eight dollars a month each, so doing the math you build for sites that earn you , say seven dollars a month each, that’s 28 dollars, if you keep building throughout the year at the same rate youl end up with 280 dollars per month on month 10, however some of your sites are actually going to earn more as they age – so the 280 dollars on month ten might be more like 500-600 dollars!
so the trick is just building more of them?
yes - the net results are in the thousands of dollars a month – once you know how to research keywords everything falls into place – making money online becomes easy…
You mentioned cpa?
Yes cost per action , there are sites like cpalead where they will pay you to have someone sign-up for a survey , for example auto insurance companies in the united states will pay you $5.40 for every person you send to their site to fill out an auto insurance quote, at no cost to the visitor, so just getting 10 sign ups a day will make you $54.00 / day that’s over $1500 per month!
And these sites are free to join?
Absolutely free. Anyone from anywhere can join.
Any advice for beginners who want to make money online?
Yes – get a mentor, a teacher who will fast track your learning and results , its much better than ebooks and videos , you need to be able to ask questions and have them answered – this method worked for me the best –also sign up on my newsletter, I give the beginner an overview of the “make money online” opportunity and tell them what to buy and who to listen to for great results..
How fast typically does a mentored student make money online???
Depends, ive seen it happen almost overnight, but on the average two-three months and your seeing cash in your pockets already ,
What do you like most about this business?
you can work from anywhere, ang galling ng negosyo na ito because its so liberating…basta may internet connection pwede kang kumita..also , ang baba ng overhead and start-up capital, its almost next to nothing compared to anything I know out there..
any parting words?
