I'm taking the same tried and tested method of build and submit free sites but with blogs instead. Originally I was building a blog a day but I decided to tone that back a bit and do one every other day. Reason I chose blogs over free sites, is because I like to know I control my traffic and not depend on submits.

I figure that's kind of an updated version of this sort of tactic. With the script I'm using I figure I can maintain about 60 blogs, 30 that are updated every three days and 30 that are updated daily. Which means 10 new posts per day then recycle old posts from my network for the daily blogs.

As it sits right now, this is a brand new network that doesn't trade any out side traffic and the blogs I've built so far only trade with a few of my other sites. So the network is a self generating traffic pool, eventually as it grows I'll trade outside my own network on a limited amount of sites kinda set up like hub sites to pull in fresh traffic.

Anyway long story made short I started doing it this month on the 3rd or 4th and have built 16 or 17 new blogs which all have a min of 4 posts but some as many as 8 at this point. So far I've made 8 confirmed sales from this network that I can track back to it. It's probably a little more because I can't track ccbill sales.

I started this project as a test to see if I could start from scratch with very little traffic and build something from it. So far I figure it's not doing to bad and once I start trading with some of my other sites they should start to take off.

Any way it's stuff like this that proves that if you are willing to work and do the grunt stuff day in and out, you can eventually start making some good money. See that's where most people fail, out of pure laziness or not staying focused.

This biz is really simple when it comes down to it, It's all about staying focused and doing it day in and out. Not sitting on GFY and half a dozen other boards all day wondering why you can't pay rent.
