Paula is a dedicated school teacher who has been working in that profession for over ten years. She and her partner, Jenny, are raising an adorable toddler named Nicholas. Nicholas came into their lives as an adopted child and Paula is determined to spend as much time with him as possible, during his formative years, before he starts school.
Paula is not new to Internet Marketing. In fact, at one time, she had a a few successful affiliate sites up that was making her about $2,000 per month. This was several years and several Google updates ago. While the sites were getting good traffic based on her selection of keywords, they eventually became a victim of a big Google update and lost most of their traffic.
Hmmm. I bet that sounds familiar to many people reading this – including me.
If I’ve learned one thing about IM it’s this: don’t put all your eggs into one online basket.
Paula watched her income drop to a meager $200 per month. This might have happened due to a combination of factors. Some niches are highly competitive, and maybe her competitors came up with better content. Or, maybe they did more to promote their sites.
Anyway, Paula decided to sell all of her sites to help raise money so that she and Jenny could adopt Nicholas. It wasn’t until recently that Paula decided to try her hand again at online marketing.
Paula doesn’t quite remember how she found her way to the Warrior Forum (WF), but once she was there, she quickly became a member. She says she loves it.
Paula has been trying various things with little success. First, she decided to try jumping back into the niches that had originally made her good money years ago. Unfortunately, this has only produced a trickle of traffic. And, as we all know, traffic equals money.
Paula has built several content sites and placed Adsense on them, but again, is struggling to bring in traffic. While she’s spent her money on articles, links and other promotion strategies, so far, it takes her several months to generate a check from Google.
I know that many people can relate to this particular struggle. While it’s relatively easy to build a content site, it still takes lots of work (plus multiple sites) to see a decent return on investment. You’ve got to figure out what niches to go into, find good keywords to put on your site and create interesting content for visitors. This process usually takes months. Many people are stuck, like Paula, with low income producing sites.
