Since my last brief dispatch, I have been working like a Trojan in order to get some sites up and running for the commencement of this informal challenge. I figured I should have a little passive income trickling in from the outset for two main reasons. First, the psychological boost of seeing some immediate return on my endeavours. Second, as I mentioned previously, momentum will be harder to acquire without a little more initial funding. Hopefully my efforts over the last day or so will turn, quite quickly, in to a little more liquid cash thereby permitting me to springboard on to more engaging and more lucrative projects.
So, what have I been doing over the last 48 hours? I went ahead and registered several domains and then set up several proxy sites. Ten to be quite precise. Within hours of them going on line I began to see PPC cash trickling in. I put out $49.50 by registering 10 domains at DomainSite (five .com and five .info domains), so half my start up capital was invested in proxy servers. Somewhat of a risk, I agree, but my research to date indicates that the initial outlay (plus a little more) should be recoverable within the month. Perhaps a little more on proxies to follow in a later post.
In addition to the proxies, I adjudged the celebrity sites I’d been researching and mentioned in a previous post were worth pursuing and went on to register a further six .info domains at a cost of $17.94. This leaves me $32.16 of my initial $100.
The celebrity sites will take a little longer to develop and I am prepared to invest a week or so knocking them in to shape
