I already made a few steps in the IM world and I have to make you catch up with me. I’ll share with you what I’ve done so far.

Okay, my first step was to learn about Google AdSense. I already have an AdSense account for several years, and my web site usually generates about $50 every month. I always looked at is as a way to cover my site’s expenses. It did.

My Home Study Course showed my a simple trick: If one site can generate $50 monthly, then 10 sites can generate $500 and 100 sites can make me a monthly income of $5000 on Autopilot.

I decided to start and build my first site (as an income source). I researched niches as I was taught in the HSC, built a web site under WordPress, wrote some articles (Didn’t want to outsource at this point) and launched the site: Effective-Spyware-Blockers.com.

Two weeks later, the site is indexed in Google (It was actually indexed in less then 24 hours, but that’s for another post), some links pointing at it, but very few traffic, needless to say clicks on ads. I also added some widgets to the site, Amazon, ClickBank and PayDotCom. If I need to make an income from this site, I will give the visitor anything he might want.

As soon as I understood that AdSense income takes time, I moved to Affiliate programs. Again I researched for a niche, located a product, and created an AdWords campaignand waited. I made two sales, totaling $97 in commissions ad stopped the campaign. It was not profitable enough. I cost me about 80% of my income.

During that time I read Mike Filsaime’s 7 Figure Secrets. Only then I understood the importance of a mailing list. This is my next step…
