Getting Started
Basically using “Turnkey
Websites” is a way to leverage some of the other techniques for home
based income we have been talking about, such as Google Adsense and
Affiliate programs offered by “E-tailers” like Amazon. By combining
several of these E-commerce programs you can set up a passive revenue
stream that can become a virtual money machine. But I know what you are
saying “I don’t know anything about setting up or maintaining a website,
and even if I did – I certainly do not have the time to create the
multitude of websites that would be required to really make a nice
income.” Well that’s the beauty of “Turnkey Websites”. These are
websites that are already created and “Good-to Go” on some of the most
popular Search Engine topics like financial advice and gambling, or if
you have no moral objections even “Adult” sites. You can also choose to
very inexpensively and simply create your own website on the topic of
your choice with Turnkey templates for sites, that include searching for
and acquiring your domain name and web hosting, Such as
www.1and1.com. This will be a less expensive then a complete Turnkey
package – but you will then be responsible for creating and posting
content on the site, and when it comes to making profits through
associate marketing and pay per click advertising “content is king” –
only sites with good content will attract and keep visitors and
potential have them click through to the advertisers. Once your site is
up yo need only apply for Google Adsesense and or an Amazon Associate
Account, or any of the other “Click Through” opportunities listed in the
resource section at the end of this article.
Start-up costs
If you are starting from
scratch, there can be some considerable start up costs to make a good
living using Turnkey Websites, but this all depends on how many sites
you want to purchase. There more your own of course the more you will
make, and the more it will cost. However with the cost if complete
Turnkey Website Packages running around 200.00 annually, even the cost
of purchasing and operating 10, 20 or more sites is significantly less
then buying a Franchise business, or otherwise starting your won
business. Of course as with any Internet business, if you do not already
have a high-speed connection you must upgrade to one. Good deals on
broadband connections abound and can be had for as little as 25.00 –
30.00/month depending on the ISP’s in your area. As in any Home Based
Business – if you have left work by choice or circumstances to pursue a
home based business as a full time income, and do not have access to
health benefits through a spouse, you need to include the cost of health
benefits in your monthly budget. More information on Insurance for the

Hours and Income
Unlike many Home Based
Businesses once you learn the proper techniques and winning “Click
Advertising Strategies and associate marketing strategies that can be
learned by clicking on any of the links on the page, Turnkey Websites
generate what is known as passive income. That’s right, while you will
have to do your homework, and spend time leaning and applying the
successful strategies, once you do that, your Turnkey Sites will be set
on “auto pilot” and Google, Amazon, AskJeeves and whom ever else you
have partnered with will be sending you money every month. Believe it.
How much money – Well be careful of the “get rich quick claims” you hear
out there. While the claims of 10,000.00 a month in the first months are
probably a bit inflated, following the programs found on legitimate
sites and realistic income of 2500.00 a month or more in the first few
months of using Turnkey Websites is possible. The best way to find out
how much you'll earn is to purchase a single Turnkey Site, sign up and
start showing ads on the pages web pages, and see how it goes. Some of
the Turnkey sites we have been discussing like Gambling sites, Dating
and other “Adult Sites” also require people to pay membership fees to
gain complete access in the site, and you share in those membership fees
as revenue in addition t ad revenue.
Potential Problems
The greatest pitfalls with
leveraging Click Through Ads and Associate Partnerships are to those who
try to use them unscrupulously. Beware Google is aware of every trick
out there and has built in counter measures to root out “invalid” clicks
and “click fraud” It may be enticing to use a cheap “click-bot” to pump
up your Adsense numbers but it will just as quickly result in suspension
of your accounts and being banned from Adsense. There is also the danger
of being inadvertently caught up in a click through fraud. Aside from
these kind of “pay per click” frauds, it is against the terms and
conditions of Google and most other Pay Per Click advertisers for you to
create a site who’s sole purpose is to post ads, so be sure that your
site is real with some legitimate content, and isn’t just a “billboard”
for Ads. Also beware of getting scammed by fraudulent Turnkey Sites –
