Picked up another new domain GreenShoppingIdeas.Com for $1.75 … I like cruising around Bargain Domain Auctions for good domains under $10.
Also sold 2 domains for $5 each. Goodbye AviationForYou.Com and MexicoExplored.Com

AsBoughtOnTV.com is a domain I picked up when I tried Project5k for the second time earlier this year … I wasted more time looking for a wordpress theme for this site than doing anything else. I finally decided that I need to just get on with it but I still couldn’t find a proper theme so I took a theme that was close enough and heavily edited it and it is close to what I want so I can start working on the site. As Bought On TV will be a blog about things that can be purchased on TV and include links under each post using PHPBay to allow ebay purchases. I also threw in a little adsense and a banner from Commission Junction.

During the previous incarnations of Project5k I spent most of time creating sites and very little time properly promoting them. One thing I have known I should have done all along but never got to was making sure the sites were getting backlinks.
I read a post at thenichestorebuilder.com on increasing backlinks.
In addition to the advice in the post I also currently subscribe to feeds for certain keywords in google blog search which I will be using to find places where I can add links.

I have had many ideas during the course of Project5k. Most of the time I would start working on them but quit for one reason or another. I have also been known to pick up a domain here and there that I think I can do something with or resell but end up doing neither. This has left me with a small stockpile of domains that I am not sure whether to develop or sell. The other night I had an idea for a site that would help me move these domains and earn a bit of cash along the way. I just put up TakeMyDomainPlease.Com where you can get any 2 of the domains I have acquired for free by signing up for HostGator hosting account. There are few nice domains on there some of which I just picked up this weekend. I will continue to create and buy domains and add them to list over the course of this attempt at Project5k.

First Appearance Of is a site I created using PHPBay during my first attempt at Project5k last year. It is an interesting site in that I set it up added a few posts and did nothing to it for six months. The reason I am writing about it is because with out any promotion or work it earned $10 last month. That isn’t much but I put absolutely no effort into it so I have decided to work on it by adding more posts to it and I have added about 10-15 posts in the last day or two hopefully these will flesh out the site a bit and add some earning potential to it.

I mentioned in the first post that this was my third attempt at Project5k. During the first two attempts I managed to make a slight profit each time but was not able to come close to the goal nor build a site with sustainable income.
Why?
The first problem is that I did not stick to a schedule of working on these sites. I would start of strong but quickly lose interest. So part of the challenge this time will definitely be overcoming this lack of motivation.
Second is that though I set a large goal with this site I failed to set any short term goals to keep myself going. This time I will be setting these short goals as a way to try to stay motivated.
My goal for this first month of the new Project5k is to be making $5 a day in profit by the end of the month. Let’s see how close to that I can get.
