Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Well its been a long one... but what a year 2009 has been. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas, and what I hope for all is a fantastic New Year!

Here at the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under we have been quietly working away behind the scenes and making money online with a number of different concepts.

Number One Earner for 2009... Selling tyres on Trademe ( Similar to Ebay in other countries ) . Yes its bizarre but this year my main online money earner has been selling Tyres ( Tires for those American Visitors ). By finding a product I can buy cheaply and sell at a profit thousands of dollars have been created with minimal effort.

Curry Fans Go Crazy for Leftover Ham and Turkey Recipes.... When checking the stats for our Curry Focus site I was very impressed to find that well timed articles written to make leftover ham curry and one for leftover Turkey curry going crazy. It pays to think ahead sometimes and by using predictable events, like Christmas and Thanksgiving, you can make money fast and smartly with well timed articles.

Text Links and Sponsored Posts... These are a thing of the past for me, I prefer to make my money nowadays on content and selling products. Others may still do ok out of these money making avenues but for me the time has come to diversify.

Looking ahead to 2010... for the year ahead I plan on launching some new concept sites, as well as working away at my main income earners. ( Curry Recipes, Job Sites and Tyre Sales ).

Enjoy your holidays, make goals and set targets for 2010 and remember that by changing your tactics, watching for opportunities and not being afraid to stick your head out you can make real money online.

A New Focus Moving Forwards for our Million Dollar Experiment Down Under

I have been doing a lot of research, thinking and reflecting over the last few holiday weeks and have made a decision which I believe will be crucial to the continuing and long term success of our websites, and our Experiment.

Unfortunately this may involve taking a bit of an income hit for a couple of months, I will explain more...

The Plan

Concentrate 90% of efforts on building traffic, improving our existing websites and increasing passive income. (e.g Google AdSense, affiliate programs, paid advertising etc) - this was previously about 50 %

The effects that this change of focus will have will be noticeable both short and long term. At the moment I spend quite a bit of time and effort on sponsored posts, this has proved quite lucrative in the last month or so however it is time that is not being spent on creating recurring income.

I have achieved well over the exponential growth targets that I have created, however it will become very hard work to continue to do this as the targets continue to increase. I need to be achieving the targets via passive income means, and keep improving my systems rather than earning money via one off sponsored posts.

If I need a couple of sponsored posts to ensure I reach my targets I will of course do them, however I am aiming for 90% of the income to be passive and recurring.

New Project - Curry Focus

The project that myself and a colleague have been working for the last couple of months has gone live, we need to spend a lot more time tweaking it as well as adding more and more content to the database. However it is now out there and operating.

The website is called Curry Focus and is all about delicious curry recipes and curry restaurants around the world.

The site will earn income from a small amount of advertising placed on it. It will not be ruined by excessive advertising as primarily it is about creating a site that creates value for the visitors via free recipes and information.

If you have any quality Curry Restaurants in your neighbourhood, please add their details to our database so that this can be shared with the visitors to our site. We accept restaurants from 182 countries around the globe.

This Blog

I will continue to try new things and write about them on this blog, also we will be looking at a lot more SEO and traffic building techniques over the coming months. You will not see to much more about non passive income earners, however we may need to dabble in a few to keep things ticking along.
