Working a full-time Job and trying to make money online can be difficult. Lack of time and family responsibilities can make finding enough time to create sites almost impossible. It doesn’t help when many e-books tell you to do thinks like write 5 articles a day for distribution. Outsourcing the work is not usually an option as you will be spending a lot of money even before you start to make an income.

I have lost count of the times we’ve had new members sign up who have spent hundreds of dollars on e-books and programs but have put none of it into practice because of lack of time. Or even worse have put it into practice but haven’t had the necessary knowledge to take it any further and make a profit.

I’ve seen people just starting out spend $1500 on a site and expect the money to pour in. Time to wake up and smell the coffee, unless you are very lucky you will need to work on site promotion which takes time.

I saw a thread in a forum this week where the guy was just starting out and had a plan to spend this week building 30 sites. I tried to explain to him that he would do much better by building 1 or 2 and concentrating on those but he was adamant that by building 30 he would find a few that would be successful. Unless he finds a magic bottle with a genie it’s not going to happen.

You need to look for something that’s quick to set up, requires very little maintenance and is easy to promote. Once these initial sites are making you money then you can re-invest some of the profit into outsourcing and take on much bigger projects. It’s also preferable to make mistakes on small projects.

When I started out I created a series of Adsense sites, they were quick to build, I added some unique content to them on a semi regular basis and did a small bit of promotion work. This income soon built up until it was at a level where I could afford to undertake bigger projects and know that I would still have an income at the end of the month.

If you are just starting out it makes a lot of sense to use some of the many free resources available to you. Google Alerts will give you daily updates on your niches which you can turn into content for your sites in a few moments. I used WordPress which is available for free and a freely available datafeed to create a site that has pulled in over $300 so far. The total cost of the build was $8 which was what the domain cost me and I created it in about 15 minutes. You don’t need to spend $100′s to make money.

Use as many free resources as you can find. The less money you spend creating your sites the quicker you’ll be in profit.

The example above was just one way that you can build sites cheaply that require very little maintenance. Anything that can save you both time and money should be a priority when you are starting out. If you would like more ideas like these please check out The Income Academy you’ll find details below
