So, my original plan was to create a site week and hope that by the end of the year that each site was making me at least £1 a day. Since starting though I have decided that larger sites may be the best way of getting a decent income from affiliate marketing. I’m still going to create some smaller sites, probably one per month, but I am going to focus on my two large sites for the remainder of the month.

My first large site is in the Toys market. The site is pretty much ready to go, I have a few articles written, now im just waiting for my chosen merchant to approve me. Once they have approved me I’m going to need to import all of the products (which will all need at least some manual work) so that will take a while. However once I have all the products in I will write a PHP script to update all the necessary fields direct from the feed, change the merchant links on products which are no longer stocked, and send me an email with the details of any new products.

The second site is my gaming site which I started and was going to leave. The site has now made me 3 sales, and the Facebook account has 14 fans (last time I looked it was 2!). The site needs a few changes (add a blog, remove adsense blocks, add an expire button etc) and then it will be a case of me up dating it more often, checking for deals 2 or 3 times per day.

I also purchased a domain name over the weekend (I know, I really need to stop buying them, but I have sold most of my others now) which is a follow up to the biggest toy craze of last year. I got a direct match on a .co.uk domain for it as it was only announced recently at the Toy Fair. If nothing else, I would imagine I could sell it for a decent profit undeveloped
