I decided to run a small mini project. With $100 I intend to create a site from scratch and get enough traffic naturally from google to make a constant £20/month ($40). Now £10/month certainly isn’t much but for a site that only costs $100 thats a 480% profit in the first year. If I can make the site earn $40/month then whats stopping me from building 10.. 20… 100..?

Costs:
Software - I will be using affilistore to create  the site (see affilistore.com )
Domain - $9 from namecheap
Hosting - I use servage so I can host unlimited domains, but for the sake of it I will say $4
Logo Design - Cheap outsourced logo $8
Directory submissions - 1000 submissions for $40 on digital point market place
Social Bookmark Submissions - $25 for 100 submissions

Total $87

Total time for me will be about 2 hours to install everything and do some small customisations on affilistore.
I will also spend about 4 hours gaining reciprocal links from other sites (affilistore has a links manager built in)
Obviously by now this sounds like an advert for affilistore but it is great customisable software with some good built in seo features.

For the merchant I have decided to promote alcoholic drinks (suprise)

I will update this project as it comes along I will also include monthly earnings from affiliatewindow and Adsense.
