Ok. I am sure you want to know how I made $1500 dollars in one day using Google Adsense. The answer is truly simple… I worked my butt off!
Many weeks ago, I started preparing my sites and getting ready for the two holiday sales. I slowly introduced pre-Black Friday content into my sites just like an IV drip. As the days got closer to Black Friday, my concentrated content started to increase as well. Finally, two days prior to Black Friday I started pumping content out.
I kissed my wife and kids and told them I would see them again in a few days and locked myself in a room and just blogged. Immediately after Black Friday was over, I instantly put my Cyber Monday cap on and repeated the process over again.
Across the board, I made over $6000 dollars. The fun is still not over by a long shot. If you missed the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, then its still not too late. You have regular “Christmas Sales”, “After Christmas Sales” and “After New Years Sales”.
Make no mistake, in order to make money online, you have to think ahead, develop an action plan and execute it. This is all called, WORK! Something many people don’t believe comes with the business of making money online. You are faced with hundreds of people who try to sell you things and tell you that you can make money online easily and for free!
I am telling you that you need to work. What I do here at my home is no different that what others do outside of their own. The only true difference is that I work 7 days a week and about 16 hours per day.
You don’t have to work that hard… I granted, I inflate my number of hours worked because I mix in a lot of other things I do during the day. Even still, this business does not come easy. But with careful planning and execution, it pays off well.
My Website Re-Design
I am still working on my website re-design. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please let me know. I do have excellent news! When I go live with my new design, it will be very “Guest Author” friendly and I will be accepting “Register Authors” into my website and they will have open access to write content on it.
Additional features will include a fluid with design and adjustable text and graphics sizes. Also, I will be including a YouTube Channel display where you can easily watch all my YouTube videos. There will be a lot less clutter and it will be very smooth and easy to follow. Also, I have upgraded to WP 2.3 and I will start using TAGS. I don’t have categories and I still will not have categories. I can’t stand categories. However, with having the new TAG system in place, this should make finding things a lot easier. Additionally, I will be offering an amazing search bar and search technology on my blog that will allow you to find just about anything you want within my blog.

That’s a gigantic income from Adsense, good work! I made similar amount, but in my own country’s currency
I’m trying out to expand into affiliate marketing and I think your $6k is a fantastic income!
Good post!

This is great Garry, congrats. I also wanted to thank you, you’ve already got me back on pen and paper with some ideas you’ve mentioned. We’ll see how well it pays off.
Oh and it looks like ya broke Google Trends now.

Garry, that is simply awesome buddy! Looks like the kids are going to have a really nice Christmas this year.
Oh and btw, regarding your redesign, I thought of something else. Something I’ve noticed when commenting on your blog is that comments don’t accept the breaks we place in them. Consequently, they’re hard to read. Maybe you can find a way to keep the breaks for easier reading?
Date/Time: 11-28-2007 10:04:49 Comment #6863
Awesome news. Glad to hear it. Just goes to show how important hard work and a good plan are to success.
As for the redesign, I don’t like the blue space between be the right side nagivation rows. It looks a little off when you scroll down to the videos. As different as it looks, it might make sense to go with the norm having all white background for content area.

-Garry, Congrats, I know you worked very hard over the last few weeks.

You sure have quite a knack for making money. Well the amount you made seems quite good, wish I had enough time to try out all these tricks/
Date/Time: 11-28-2007 13:02:40 Comment #6866
…and I thought you were painting ! LOL
BTW I agree with Mark, I don’t like the fact that your comments doesn’t accept linebreaks.
ciao

Hmmm, maybe it is just me, but I see “what” you did (worked hard, built the marketing strategy) but I do not see “how” or “where” you did it? It obviously wasn’t on this site, so where was it?
Do you have like a digital camera site, or maybe a ringtone site…etc?
(I am sincere with this comment. I’m a newbie and wanting to learn, but it seems taboo for the “make money online” guys to give specifics about their ventures outside of the “make money blogs” they author…why is that?…do you not want to reveal your trade secrets?…I can respect that BTW)

Allyn Paul,
You are a new reader. Welcome to my site. I am glad to have you here as a reader. Yes, I don’t use this site for directly making money. This site is a personal blog where I talk and teach people about blogging tips and making money online. I am glad you joined in!
Anyway, I have a bunch of websites in general that I work with for making money online. All target specific niches, some do better than others and some really have been rocking and rolling for me.

I guess my only question is … did you miss Thanksgiving dinner or did you plan ahead enough that you could have some turkey?
Date/Time: 11-28-2007 16:30:54 Comment #6870
Yes! Thanks for asking… we did have a great dinner together as a family. It was very nice!
We are not the type of family to all sit at the table each night for dinner…
Usually, if there is a cardboard box on the counter… we run in and fight over the contents within like dogs and then go about our day.

I really gotta hand it to ya Garry for making that much money in a couple of days. Congrats!

Okay now I have some more questions:
How many blogs did you use to do this?
Were you posting reviews about products, or regular posts with lots of affiliate links?
Can you point us to one or two of the blogs?
Thanks!
Date/Time: 11-28-2007 23:46:57 Comment #6875
Wow, very cool, Garry. I’m so happy for you and the family. LOL

Congratulations, what an accomplishment.
As I told you in my email to you yesterday that I had done some blogging back in the day, but took two years off to pursue other ventures.
Since I started reading your blog, I have learned a number of things and I am trying to apply them to see how well these concepts work.
So much has changed since I got out of blogging. Long gone are the days where I could make a post and immediately get 30 hits from just pinging services.
Anyway, using google trends to prepare some posts I have for a holiday themed site, I notice some keyword phrases that had made it in the top 10 as well as variations making it into the top 100.
I was too late to get those up and running for Thanksgiving, so I went ahead and prepared for Christmas. Sure enough, I’ve taken those keyword phrases and using Micro Niche Finder was able to find some variations that had little to no competition, and was immediately getting ranked in the top 1-3 pages.
While I’m not crushing with traffic, or adsense earnings I am seeing how this can be applied to some far more lucrative *year round* ideas.
Good luck on your next 3 target days. I’ll definitely be following along to see what happened.
Date/Time: 11-29-2007 16:32:43 Comment #6898
Well, I’m interested in what you have to say, but I gotta say, the layout of the site is pretty busy. I’m guessing it’s probably effective for your purposes but it’s not easy on the eyes.

Awesome, congrats!
In my opinion that was probably the best video cast I’ve seen from you.
Date/Time: 11-30-2007 02:54:04 Comment #6907
That was indeed an inspirational video. $1500 is awesome and I’d be grateful to have that kind of income.
Date/Time: 11-30-2007 22:53:51 Comment #6923
I can’t wair for the redesign.
I find that I work a few hours a night and I was pleased at making $150 for November
I really hope that one day this will become a job and I need people like you to inspire and point me in the right direction.
Cheers for the christmas sale heads up…. I’ll try and put a plan into action.
