The only part I didn't enjoy was the weeding and cultivating. That was the WORK! SoI was thrilled when I discovered "The Ruth Stout No Work Garden Book." That booktaught me how to get all of those great vegetables with no weeding, very littlecultivating, and little watering. It really did teach you how to garden withliterally no work.
Twenty year later, I discovered just as fertile a garden on the Internet. Withpractically no investment other than my time, I could put up a website, nurture it,build traffic to it, and in time, harvest lots of sales from it.
Just like with the vegetable garden, there was a lot of maintenance required if youwanted a good harvest.
The site needed to be constantly updated so that the search engines "learned" thatthey should visit this "fresh" site often.
The site needed to have lots of keyword rich WebPages so that it would rank high forrelevant keywords, and attract organic search engine traffic. Since I was taughtthat "content is king" that meant the more content-rich, tightly-focused WebPagesyou had, the better. The content-rich pages meant you could make sales, get newsubscribers, and even earn pay-per-click revenue from programs such as GoogleAdSense.
The only problem with the above model is... it's a lot of WORK.
Then I discovered, "The No-work, Money-making Website. It wasn't completely no work,but it was probably 1/10th the work that I had been doing.
The no-work website encompasses building a content-rich website using automatedtools. These tools allow you to gather relevant content (articles, RSS feeds, etc.)from all over the Internet and then instantly generate hundreds ... even thousandsof content rich WebPages in minutes.
The no-work website encompasses using other tools to automatically update your site,so that each time the search engine spiders visit, they notice new content. Noticingnew content on each visit, the search engine spiders make a note to visit moreoften.
Now here's where this gets really powerful...
As these search engine spiders visit more often, they don't just crawl your currentno-work, money-making site. They also follow links to other sites you want to getindexed. So now you can put up your no-work site, teach the search engines to comeback often, and then go on to build other sites knowing that getting them indexed isas simple as linking to them from your old sites. It really is that easy :-)
By now you're probably asking what are some of these magic tools I use to buildthese amazing, no-work sites that literally takes on a life of their own.
Here are just a few of the tools I personally use:
1) Blogs. Blogs hosted on Blogger.com get noticed very quickly by Google becauseGoogle owns Blogger.com By pinging blog directories (and Yahoo using your "My Yahoo"page) lots of other sites take notice of your blog. They visit your blog and followlinks to other target sites.
2) I'm a charter member of Content Desk. Content Desk has a tool that allows me toquery databases containing tens of thousands of articles (based upon keywords). Ican automatically sort the list of articles that is returned based upon keyworddensity, or a number of other criteria. Then, I can have the software itself createWebPages for me using a template I've designed using the template tool built rightinto Content Desk.
Content Desk is probably my favorite tool because I can, quite literally, addhundreds of article pages to my sites in minutes. My templates also include ads fora "pet" product and/or Google AdSense. I can add content-rich, relevant, verynice-looking pages to my sites in minute, and then move on to the next project,knowing that these pages WILL make me money.
Content Desk limited its charter membership to a total of only 400 members, and thatquickly sold out. However, since it's a monthly membership, not all members renewand there are probably some openings.
After arriving at the site, click on the "Charter Membership" link in the upper leftmenu bar. This will tell you if there are any current openings.
3) RSS Feeds. By incorporating RSS feeds into your WebPages, you can set them up sothat the content is constantly updated. This gives your visitors something fresh toread each time they visit. This gives the search engines fresh content each timethat they visit ... and trains them to visit often.
Content Desk incorporates a feature that works very similar to regular RSS feedsEXCEPT that it doesn't send your website traffic away. With a normal RSS feed, thecontent automatically added to your site contains links inviting your visitors toclick away. It allows you to automatically update your pages, but it also siphonsoff traffic. Content Desk does this in a way that automatically updates your sitewithout sending your visitors away.
4) Traffic On Steroids. This is another system for automatically updating/changingcontent on your site. Traffic On Steroids actually takes a core database ofarticles/content that you set up and then rotates it in your target WebPages. Thenet effect is that each time a visitor (or search engine) visits a page, the page isdifferent. This is very effective at training the search engines to come backoften... and increasing your pages' ranking. Incorporate Google AdSense into thesepages and you have another hands-off money magnet.
You can also incorporate a product data-feed into your page using Secret MoneyGenerator and have pages that are constantly updates AND have a catalog of productsbuilt in that all pay you an affiliate commission.
I've just shared with you a few of the dozens of tools I use to createnearly-hands-off websites. I do still look at some of them from time to time to seeif I can make them perform better. However, you could LITERALLY never touch many ofyour sites created with these tools for years... and you'd still have a nice revenuestream from them.
