This is the first website I built with Site Build It! As you can see, it's monetized using Google Adsense, some affiliate programs, and Kontera in-text ads.
Traffic is good to this site:
- moving up to around nearly 3,000 visitors a day now, at the end of November '09, which I'm really pleased about.
What about earnings? This site is currently earning me around $2,500 (that's US dollars) a month - most of that is from ads, some also from affiliate sales.
How much time does it take? Sometimes I will spend two or three mornings a week on this site, while my son is at school (the kids finish school at lunchtime here.)
I might be building a couple of pages, or writing a review, or just researching stuff to write about later.
Or I might do nothing on that site, and spend time on my other sites - like this one!
Last summer I was away for a month, back home in the UK and visiting friends and family in New York and Montreal. I didn't have to do any work on my sites, and I still earned dollars every day I was away - fantastic!
In fact I'm so pleased with my first Site Build It! site that I built two more - one about baby names, as well as another type of games site. So I get another 1,000 visitors a day or more, and additional income.
Finding a website building program that suits YOU!
Look around at different programs, and weigh up the pros and cons, cost, time and effort required for each one.
The program I use, Site Build It! usually costs $299 a year. But now they've come up with a "recession buster" offer, where you can pay monthly - at $29.99 per month with a full money-back guarantee if you're not happy.
