What I've been doing is creating a site like Ehow.com. It's a free site that shows people how to do a lot of different things. The best way to explain the site is just for you to go have a quick look now.
They have thousands and thousands of pages of content on all sorts of subjects and the way they get traffic to their site is through the search engines, which is all well and good if you want to wait awhile, but this guide is all about making money quickly.
Every page on their site has an adsense box on it and that's how they make their money. They also have an Alexa traffic ranking of around 2000 which is great.
Trying to write that much content before making any money would be difficult, you'd lose interest quickly and trying to write that much content or even buy that much content in one hit would be lunacy.
I've always preferred to make money constantly even if the project is only half done or in progress. I find it gives me incentive to keep going.
So this is what I'm doing, and no I'm not going to show you my site because I don't want everyone copying it.
I registered a catchy domain name, something like fiveminuteguides.com or learnitnow.com and I started writing little 500 to 750 word action plans on all sorts of topics and one happens to be on a favorite subject of mine, fly fishing.
So my fly fishing page looks something like http://www.fiveminuteguides.com/fly-fishing.html and it's a small 750 check list on all things to do with fly fishing with 2 Adsense boxes, one in the middle and one of the right hand side.
When it comes to Adsense, you have to think like your website visitor. What is it they are looking to buy? There is no use putting something on my website about how to make money with your fly fishing passion because the advertisers with Adsense are selling fly fishing equipment not how to make money with fly fishing.
You need to make your content fit into the Adsense ads and I think that's where a lot of people go wrong with Adsense.
Back to the business plan. Ok, so you've got your site up, you have a page up on a certain topic that had a fairly high search rate and Adsense payout rate, now what? How do you make money with this page.
