You Only Have 1 Hour A Day To Create Income - What Would You Do?

If you do not have time, you can make it up by spending money. You can buy existing revenue generating websites/businesses. Preferably they should be very stable and passive. However, you can always outsource the mangement of these websites e.g. pay a person to admin your forums.

I would spend my time managing other people working for me. Get people creating content and sites for me. Once I had a few large content sites built I would spend the time promoting the hell out of those sites. After 365 hours (a year ) you should have a good income coming from those sites.

Then you can spend your 1 hour a day on the beach

1 hour a day seems a little bit on the low end..But maybe I'm working too hard?

As Derekwong pointed out, you can supplement your available time with spending money either buying existing revenue generators or outsourcing. However, part of this will depend on what skillsets you have.

A skilled programmer can apply an hour a day and produce various software utilities that sell for a few dollars to a hundred dollars (depending on the utility), and then after 5 days, put together a site to sell these programs and automate delivery, taking his 6th day's hour. Then spend half of his hour each day after that creating more software utilities (products) and the other half working on getting traffic to the site.

In your original post you indicated you created articles. If you can create quality articles, even just 2 per hour you could do any of the following:

1. Keep them on a single niche, and in 2 weeks you have 20-28 (5 day or 7 day per week) articles that can be used to drive traffic to a site where you can capture contact information (opt ins) and send people to affiliate links for related products to earn a commission, such as by submitting them to article directories, using them as blog or site content, etc.

2. Keep them in a single niche, then after 2-3 weeks offer them in one or more PLR bundles (with 20/28 to 30/42 articles you could make each bundle 10-30 articles per bundle)

3. Keep them in a single niche and after 1-3 weeks take these articles and compile them into a report, possibly with a few affiliate links in it, to create a product to sell. I would add a few extra days fleshing out each into better detailed chapters and make sure they flow as a continuous product as well. Take some of the valuable parts and filter them back out into the articles for site content/blog content/article marketing.

An alternative would be to create several articles which would be used as site content, possibly with a variant for article marketing which links them back to your site. On your site implement an opt in (list building), give away some extra (useful/valuable) information to encourage the opt in. Your site would gain traffic through article marketing and probably a small PPC campaign. From this site, a few closely related affiliate products may be sold, and eventually sell your own reports on the subject, using the opt in list to launch these new products with a soft sell (announce new information is on the site with a quick bit of info about what the new content is. Promote the product(s) on site and offer opt-in members a special discount for your product by giving them a special code or separate page that isn't linked to, which will expire (be removed) at a specific time (and follow through with that specific time).

Just my off the top thoughts.

Honestly,

You want to put in as much time as you can, but if all you have is 1 hour...

...it's MORE THAN PLENTY

I built my business to between $1000 - $1500 a month on probably less than an hour a day.

Had 2 jobs, 7 days a week, 55 hours each week PLUS A GIRLFRIEND - lol

This is what I would do (without listing every single little detail):

- Build a list
- promote other people's products
- eventually create your own products

An hour is plenty - trust me.

Obviously this is all after you have a site up.

Certain places I get traffic from only take me
10-15 minutes a day to work on. (safelists, list builders, etc)

I have kids screaming in my ear, so this is the best I could
do under the circumstances.

But my underlying message is that

1 HOUR IS PLENTY to build yourself a full time income.

Just do something every day to grow your business and
things will start to fall into place for you.

So right now we have:

- buy profitable online properties/businesses
- outsource content creation and do the marketing ourselves
- listbuilding with aff. marketing and into product creation

Anyone else have any suggestions regardless of what it is?
