I have not tried hiring a writer in that range….

I would imagine that if you spent the time to do the KW research, the domain registration, the wp install and instructing the writer it would take you about 3 hours or so (again this can even be automated a great deal). The writer could spend 8 hours writing the content as well as post it and you would have a site created per day.

A writer would cost you e.g. $800 per month and in that time they would be able to produce +20 sites. Without tools, domain registrations etc. you would still be in the negatives. But in month 10 you would have 200 sites but still only be paying the writer $800 per month and thereby leave a nice profit for you to enjoy.

But doing this would naturally require that you had some money to invest upfront.

There there is the matter of content creation. Let’s say articles take 1 hour each (or can be outsourced for $10/hour).

So it’s about a 1.5 day investment in time plus the cost of the domain name — let’s say we outsourced it and call it $240. It costs me less, but let’s just use that number. That’s $20/month in the first year.

As for the tools, I use them across many sites. But let’s say you only have 10 sites and you are using $100/month in Leger tools. That’s $10/month. My cost is much less because of beta pricing and more sites.

So — if you spend $20/month on setup and $10/month on tool, the site needs to make $30 per month to be profitable.

Of course, you can put in your own numbers, but let’s say $30/month. To break even, I need $1/day.

My plan here is an AdSense site, so let’s say I can get $0.50 per click. I think I can get more, but let’s use $.50. To break even, I need 2 clicks per day.

I plan to use an AdSense optimized theme, so I am expecting a 10% CTR — but lets say I only get 5%. I need 40 visitors per day to get 2 clicks.

So, the question is, doing no other promotion, can I get 40 visitors per day to this site….

Secondly I assume that you’re not taking the cost of Leger’s programs into account since you already own them, right?

If however this could be outsourced to someone that will cost you only $4-500 a month and this person could do one site per day that could be a very interesting concept…

Well, I totally agree that they are not good for producing finished articles. What I use them for is “research”. I run the program (like IAW or AA) and get 3 or 4 ideas for articles (or article points) and the rewrite parts of the text as articles. Saves me a ton of time on topics that I am less familiar with.

The spinners’ capabilities are also just about worthless as the output is far from legible, again lacking proper syntax or readability. I would guess that your reader retention will be extremely zilch and the few dollars that you will make will be reliant on a steady stream of unique traffic.

I’ll be looking to see whatsup, especially with that 1waylinks thing.

PS: Could you point me to the person company that made them ,as i am looking to make some of my own.

I love Louisiana – just love it.

I too will be interested to see how this fares Mark. Out of all the products listed, none of which I own, the most intriguing is Instant Article Wizard Pro. That is one mean machine if it does half of what JL says. Use the Spinner and you’re off to the races with solid content. The linking is just a mystery as to how it really works – which leads me to label it pricey. Thanks!

I’m watching with great interest. I’m working on a case study of my own. I’ll post about it at my blog and let you know when it’s up. It’s similar to yours but using PLR material. I want to see how far I can get with dupe content.

Thanks, Charles. I agree that results like these take time — especially since all of these backlinks need to be “discovered” by Google. It will be very interesting to see what happens here.

Thanks Joey — I will keep you posted!

In addition, I would bet that you don’t see the full results of your efforts for quite a little while. I do SEO for other people and for my own sites and am surprised, after having long given up on a site, how well I did !
