While we all dream of building that website that will be a home run, and make us rich, here's an easier way to establish a dependable income stream.
It's a lot easier to set up a simple website that generates just $10 - $20 profit per day. Imagine if you had 100 of these. That would be $1000 -  $2000 per day. That would be $365,000 - $730,000 per year. Now that $10 to $20 per site, per day, doesn't sound so small does it.
This is sort-of like own a vending machine route. The route owner realizes that no one of his machines is likely to make him wealthy. However, week after week, the cumulative sales from a route of... say 100 machines... provides a very nice living for him and his family. I do know people who own vending machine routes, and they do earn above average incomes.

Getting back to setting up these website "vending machines."  It doesn't have to be very complicated. In
fact most of us make things so complicated in our minds that we never even get started.
Let me give you a plan for setting up one site a day over the next month. We need to get you to commit to yourself that you won't make excuses. We need to get you to commit to yourself that you won't look for reasons why it "might not work." Instead, you need to decided that it can work, and then just do it.

Here is your fast and easy plan for the next 30 days:
1) Identify 30 profitable niches, or topics, that you can build a simple website around. To make it really simple, these can be websites of only a few pages. I'd recommend a homepage which can be a direct  sales page, or a blog. Off to the side you can post some articles related to your topic that you can write yourself, or find on a site like EzineArticles.com The articles, or blogs, are "search engine bait" and are what will bring in free traffic for you.

2) Locate 30 products that you can market from these websites. Ideally, these will be digital products that you earn a very high commission on. To make that even easier, let me GIVE you 30 products that you can (with just a little reworking) market as your own new and unique products.

Go here, and grab at least 30 private label rights products, with totally unrestricted private label rights:

You'll be able to sell these products as is, just by putting your name on them, but I recommend spending an hour or two: - Renaming each one - Creating, or having created a new graphic for each one - Doing minor edits to each one.

3) Register 30 keyword-rich domain names at your favorite registrar. You can register all 30 at one time, or do one at a time.

4) Get a very inexpensive hosting account with lots of disk space and lots of bandwidth. HostGator at:
http://TheRealSecrets.com/CheapestHosting/ will give you unlimited domains on one account for only $7.95 per month. If  you put 30 domains on the account that first month, that's only  26  cents per site in hosting fees.  As you add more accounts  later, the per-site fees drop to practically nothing :-)

5) Set up your homepage on each domain and use that to promote your product.  My personal technique is to make the homepage a WordPress blog where I  periodically post articles, reviews or comments pertaining to the topic. You also want to post a review of your product.  In the menu bar you want to post a prominent link for ordering your product.
If you do make your homepage a blog, you also want to set up another direct sales pages, on the same domain, whose only purpose is  to sell the product.
Each time that you post to your WordPress blog it will "ping" the search engines, notifying them that you've
updated your site, and the search engine spiders will come and re-index your entire site.
On a semi-regular schedule you want to post to your blog. Those posts can just be a new article, or really...
anything pertaining to your topic.

6) To "plug in" additional traffic you want to write short (400  -  1000 word) articles on your topic, or product
reviews, and submit  those to article directories. In the resource boxes of those  articles, link back to your
homepage.  People reading those articles will click through to your site, and the search engine will also follow those links back to your site.

This is a very simple formula that DOES work. I use it regularly. Please don't over-complicate things.
You basically need a product that solves a pressing problem, and  you need to make it easy for those who want it to find and purchase it.  I've just told you how to do that, and I've told you how to do it for practically
nothing.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is simply to decide to make today the day that you start taking responsibility for your own success. It's to DECIDE that today is the day that you drop all excuses.
The easiest starting point really is to grab the  free PLR products that are in step-2.  That will point you in the direction of some proven profitable niches.  Get those now: http://TheRealSecrets.com/Free-Private-Label-Rights.html

To me this plan is simple and do-able. However, I also realize that you may want to go at it more slowly. If
that's the case, it's ok to put out just a few vending machines this week... but do get started. It's far too easy to put it off, and then drift back into that world of excuses and talking negative to yourself.
You're not going to allow that to happen - are you?

Get started now.
In case you're wondering how the $10 - $20 per day comes into the equation, that's an average figure per site, which actually means that most of your sites will not even need to average a sale every day.  You'll only need to average a sale ever 3 - 4 days with many of your sites. That's even easier, isn't it?
