Dropshipping

I've been a beta tester for Interprise Suite by Interprise Solutions for the last 8 months or so. I am pretty excited that the final release is coming out in March, and when it does, I plan on trying my hand at a drop shipping business (they are offering a FREE 3 user version). I already know what I want to sell, I've registered the domain, now I just need to find a supplier.

Has anyone successfully gotten into dropshipping? I would love to have a conversation about it (IM or Skype).

Looks like I'll fall alittle short of my $1000 AIS for the month, but not by much. I'm at around $850 so far on the month, with today and tomorrow left.

Drupal CMS Search Engine Optimization

I’ve been messing around with Drupal CMS a lot lately. As I have stated in previous posts, I believe my IP address (which contains all of my sites) has been banned by Google. Now that I am making fairly good money from my sites, I am going to get another reseller account, and start hand building sites using original content (nothing scraped). I’m going to do this with the Drupal CMS.

Drupal is very search engine friendly right out of the box. Adding the pathauto module, turning on clean urls, and adding an optimized theme makes it even friendlier. It has built-in syndication, and is pretty easy to setup.

If you have a site that’s doing nothing, I highly suggest messing around with Drupal. I'll do my best to help you out with installation issues, just leave a comment with the problem and your email address.

AIS Update

Most of my sites are doing terrible. However, I have 1 site that with a little bit of attention each day can easily make $50+ in adsense any day of the week. I've made $50+ dollars every day for the last week. It takes me about 10 minutes a day to achieve these results. If I spend no time on the site, I make nothing that day.

I'm still basically unlisted in Google. I believe I've been put onto some type of IP address ban, because all of my sites are on the same server, with the same IP address. I need to get a new resellers account.

Reading Burt's post today about his $50 day yesterday made me want to "Set it and forget it". 10 minutes a day doesn't seem like a lot, but the fact that it makes nothing if I forget to touch it, or am away from my computer is very annoying.

I am going to get a new resellers account and start slow, building true "Set it and forget it" AIS sites. I still have not paid $1 for site generating software or keyword lists.

Update

If you've been following my blog, you know I recently just bought a house and moved. Unfortunately, AIS has had to take a back seat for the last couple weeks, but I'm now committed to getting back up and running. My goal is to hit $1000/month in AIS by the end of the year.

I just created a new type of AIS site (who knows if it will work) using a modified version of RSSG. The content on the pages is lacking, but I'm hoping to be able to generate enough traffic using other methods. http://www.fenderguitarstore.info/
