As i’ve mentioned in an earlier post I have about 11 domain names currently parked.  For the most part they have been earning very little, I think in total in December they made about $1.12

I’ve been looking to make real websites out of them and monetize them for some profit, let’s face it, at about .10 per month per site it would be pretty hard to do worse.

Since I have a (legal) copy of Microsoft Office I went out and purchased Microsoft Expression Web 2.  At first the program looked quite intimidating, but after buying a book (which i’ll link below)  I’m beginning to understand it more and more.

In addition, many of my articles on ehow have links to these parked domains, and I see improvement in the number of hits they are getting.

So, starting this month I will begin to develop my domains into full websites complete with real content!

11 sites, 12 months left in the year.  So by years end I should have all of them complete.

I know one site per month is bordering on the pathetic, in fact i’ve read on one persons blog about their 28 sites in 28 days challenge (quite extroardinary actually)

So, starting this weekeng my puppy site will go live, the content won’t be complete for a while, but again, this site only earned about .18 cents in December so with even just one adsense click I should exceed that.

My ultimate goal is to get each site to about $50 per month, which from what i’ve been reading should be attainable.

To make this happen I will step up my site specific articles during the month the site goes live, i’m also going to start publishing different versions of each article on other sites to get more backlinks.

I’m really excited about about learning how to make websites, learning about ‘bull marketing’ and getting some additional income streams going.

Oh, btw, ‘bull marketing’ is when you make a bunch of articles, spin them off (different versions of each) and publishing them on many popular article sites.  It’s a way to get some ranking and hits without spending money on advertising and backlinks.  I hope it works because I am not in a position to buy backlinks right now.
