Ever since I built my first website in 2007, I’ve had an interest in building websites for profit. A while ago, I was introduced to Josh Spaulding’s Five Dollar Formula, which I applied when I built my balloon website.
Then, just recently, I came across AdSenseFlippers.com, two guys working together to build a massive empire of websites and a flood of monthly income. They share their formula and tips on their website, so I decided to apply them and make a website based on that formula.
And so I created my newest website, based on what I gathered from studying their formula. Please welcome my 4 day old website…
EasyGumboRecipes.com, a simple but useful 5-page website offering a few gumbo recipes.
The whole project consisted of writing 5 articles, which compose the website itself, and also writing 2 more articles which I then distributed to a few popular article directories. Altogether, this project took me about 20 hours to complete. That includes everything from brainstorming to figure out what keywords could be profitable, to actually writing the articles, to designing the website itself.
My goal is not to simply follow other people’s formulas. I’m trying to find my own style, but I’ve found it very helpful to learn from other people’s successes. I know that I want to build a larger-than-full-time passive income from websites, and I know I want to do it as quickly as possible. I’m just finding my way as I go. So I feel good that I’ve made another step by building another website. But it feels like this is just the beginning. A re-launch, of sorts. More is to come.
I’m just going to keep building more and more websites and see how many it will take to achieve my desired income. Can I do it with just 40 sites? Maybe. Will it take 100? More? Possibly. However many it takes, God and I will make it happen. With God for me, nothing can remain standing against me.
So what’s the take-home lesson for you? Know what your goal is, and find your own way to achieve it. But don’t be afraid of following in the footsteps of people who have achieved what you’re working for. God will help you find your own way.
Only believe,

Hey Jonathan…thanks for the mention…let us know how it works out with the gumbo site, for sure!
Love the fact that you’re taking concepts but putting together your own model. That’s exactly how we got started as well and highly recommend it…best of luck!
Wow, I’m honored to get a reply from you! Thank you so much for noticing my post. I really appreciate the willingness you and Joe have to share your success, failures, and valuable advice on your website. It’s such an encouragement to me as I continue working on my own websites. God bless!
