Like any business, most people see "get rich quit" but few do the work that needs to be done. Even WITH the hard work there is no guarantee of success.

Personally, I don't want to brag about myself but I think I am talented/skilled at some of things needed to be successful in the niche marketing business- such as picking good domains, writing good content, and knowing what/when to delegate. I have spent hours with people in IM and email discussions trying to guide them and even when I spell every step out 99% of people do not "get it" or fail before they begin. People will target bad niches, pick terrible domains, go out and get 100s of links with no/wrong anchor text, not research keywords, you name it.

As for the long-term, some of my best domains are ones that I completely abandoned YEARS ago, but I had the longterm approach to leave them on the back burner and redevelop. For example I built a site in November 2004 that never made a dime, but I had a very targeted domain and KW. fast Forward to late 2007 and I was getting a trickle of traffic. I changed one link on the site and started making at least $400-600 a month. I understand thats not a "lot" of money but for a site I haven't touched in 3 years, get less than 20 uniques a day, and costs about $10 a year to maintain- not bad. I have another domain selling a serious business service that bills in the 3-4 figures monthly and pays SPIFFs and residuals. basically the same deal, 3 years of no income then all of a sudden 10 sales in a month, most with bonuses and 2-3 year residual contracts.

Yeah, I'm going to make 200-300 BANS sites and see what happens. if BANS doesnt work, something else will. It can be boring, but who isnt bored with their work? Many people spend 40 or more hours a week bored out of their minds, so why cant they dedicate the same bored hours to this.

I like the look of the BANS examples you mentioned in your blog.

I currently have only 4 BANS sites. I feel the need to master BANS a bit more before jumping into too many sites and finding I made a big blunder.

I do host with HostGator and must say they have been the best. I have only one other hosting service that I used in the past that handled support as well but I found them too expensive at the time but HostGator is so affordable.

I don't have Domain Dashboard at this point but along with my 4 BANS site I do have 15 other sites and my daily routine for checking them all is getting to be a bit of a pain in the behind. A good reason to purchase DD.

Once I am comfortable with BANS I do plan to start creating at least one new site per week for a while and I can see that being a time sucking problem the more I get.
