What's This All About Then?

I've been noticing that a few people on the web seem to be earning some serious money by doing not alot of work. And I want a piece of the action.

I was first alerted to this by some posts on a forum I read from time to time called DDN Cafe. A guy on there by the name of burt (read his blog here) was always going on about Automated Income Streams (AIS) and how much he was earning from them. As the name suggests, the idea of these income streams is that they require very little work i.e. you set them up, sit back and watch the cash roll in. Sounds great doesn't it?

A small part of burt's income was coming from the Google Adsense program. Researching more into things, I found that some "internet marketing gurus" were earning serious money from Adsense alone. When I say serious, I mean $400+ per site per day. Just, read that again...$400 per website per day...just from people clicking your links! Of course, these "gurus" don't just have one website, they have hundreds, if not thousands of these sites.

It was at the Work Boxers website that I first came across the idea of building 100 websites, each earning $1 per day. It may not sound much, but I'll do the maths for you:

100 sites x $1 x 365 days = $36,500 per year (approx. £20,500 or €30,000).

So I have set myself the challenge of reaching this goal by the end of the year. This year. 2005.

In this blog, I will be recording my progress towards this goal and documenting all the highs and lows that I will inevitably encounter along the way. I hope you will join me on this journey which kicks off tomorrow!
