There's lots more but the most valuable part of the site to me comes from an awesome guy named Tim Gorman. Tim is a captain in the US army with a VERY full time military job. Yet he has managed to build a $10,000/month income with only a small amount of time. He says he will retire in two years and in 2007 his goal is to raise that income to $15,000/month. I have no doubt he will make it, either. Plus, Tim is incredibly generous about sharing everything he's doing and gives the members step-by-step details. I've followed his method just to see what would happen. Here's a report on my first results.

Virtual Real Estate For $2.99!

Sometime in the last year or two, John Reese coined the term "Virtual Real Estate" (VRE). This is a powerful concept if you think about it because John compares a web property to a physical property. If you buy an investment house, for instance, you can theoretically rent that property out to someone and (if you've done your numbers correctly) pocket a monthly profit. Own enough rental properties and you earn a nice income.

However, owning physical real estate can be a real bummer. I know. I was a real estate investor myself in another life. If you don't know what you're doing (and most folks don't - ask Carlton Sheets) there are financial risks and the possibility of some real legal hassles. And what if your house is unrented for a month or two or six? You must still make the mortgage payments whether they're being covered by your tenant or not. Then the property gets torn up and needs extensive renovation, the market takes a dive, etc., etc.

Contrast that with VRE. The risks are financially insignificant and worst case your web property just sits there, making no money, but not costing you much of anything either. A good VRE will continue to bring in money, with little effort on your part, once you have it properly set up.

Enough of that analogy and let's talk about what Tim Gorman teaches. Tim has a way of building a website that is currently earning him the previously mentioned $10,000/month. You can - literally - build a Tim Gorman VRE for $2.99 (not counting any web hosting cost). That is the cost of a ".info" domain name at our favorite domain registrar. It will take work on your part to build this site, but if you're short on money and long on time, this is a dream. And using the keyword tools on the site, you will be able to wisely pick a niche around which to build this site.

Tim lays out his method, step by step, so I decided to try it. After five weeks, I am now earning (as of yesterday) $13.27/day from AdSense. Of course, these numbers will vary by the day, but that's $4,843.55 a year. Nice, but not mind-boggling, right? But here's the thing:

1. It truly did cost me $2.99 in actual cash

2. Now that's it's up and running, it will (according to Tim) take me about 1-2 hours/month to maintain. Perhaps no time at all, depending on several factors.

3. I now have a method that I can repeat again and again and again. Because it's simple and timeless in that it gives the search engines exactly what they want. No black hat SEO or tricks.

4. What if I build 10 of those? That's $48,435.50, 100 is $484,355.00; 1,000 is - well, you get the idea.

Is $13.27/day an average profit? I don't know because this is my first one, although my second one is ready to go and I'll start promoting it today. Tim says the average site will earn between $5-$15 per day. Perhaps I did so well with my first one because of this particular niche, or because I'm an experienced marketer. And, I did all the work on the first site - not so with my second one. My writer did all the content for the second which raised the cost, of course. But with the help of my writer, I can churn these puppies out and I intend to. Cheap VRE that I can place on almost total auto-pilot. If that rings your chimes, too, sign up for notice on the re-opening of the website. Don't forget that it's tomorrow, October 10 and I doubt it will last long. Most likely hours only.

If you decide to join the site through my affiliate link, send me an email and let me know. I am going to demonstrate another site I'm building with the Tim Gorman method, except that it will have two possible income streams, rather than just one. If you're a Tim-fan, you'll want to see this. I don't know yet how it will do, but I hope it will be even better than my first one.

Oops, I almost forgot - I mentioned earlier that the material in this site IS related to auctions. In the first quarter of 2007, Jim Edwards and I will be becoming out with a product on how to use content on eBay to build your business. This website will fit perfectly! Ah, so many blessings. :-)
