Website as source of income

[qandrade1]

How long does it take to get a website up and running and bringing in income?

[tjustin]

I prayed for cash flow once only to discover I should have been more specific.

The time it will take you to get up and running will be in direct proportion to your knowledge, available time, willingness or financial ability to hire third parties to assist you and, by no means the final part, your willingness to keep going no matter what roadblocks you may find.

When we train brand new people in Internet marketing, the one thing that stand s out is their mindset. Those looking for the quick buck are off somewhere else by the next day.

That said, you can have an affiliate relationship through a program like ClickBank, find a product you like and email it to your warm market or your non-spam list and see revenue within anywhere from minutes to hours. No website required.

However, the professional route is one of diligent, by the numbers set up and not falling prey to the quick buck sellers, most of whom couldn't explain even an auto responder to a newbie.

All the best,

I know the rigors of building a web business. It's HARD WORK. And Tom's absolutely right, you have to be diligent. It never happens that fast. Don't let anyone tell you different.

That said, you should ever put all your eggs in one basket.

If you're looking to do something in the meantime to bring in some extra cash while you build your web business, I'm lookin' for a few people to help me out with a business project. Won't take up your time at all. It'd be cool if I could work with some Simpleology members. Message me if you're into it.

And don't give up the web business!!

Thats a good question and one that i hear often in my website design Businesss
and i'm afraid to say there is no definitive answer ,it depends on so many things like
what are selling or promoting?
To whom?
Is it a niche website or mainstream
How is your website designed,ie is it keyword specific
Are the images searchable?
how are your metatags set?
is it content rich?
How much traffic does it get?
how long do your visitors stay?
where do they exit from?
How are you marketing it?
is it search engine optimised?
these are just a few questions that need addressing first.

One of my clients who is a palmist wanted a website to sell his handbooks and teaching courses and advertise his events .
so this was built at John's palmistry site

which now has been live for 3 months and is just beginning to start earning by selling his handbooks.
the reason being that he now gets traffic from search engines,google images.
and links from other astrology websites.
this has been designed to do this and it is now paying off.
this can only be achieved by carefully working with my client to build the site he needs.

If you would like help with yours .please let me know
