Okay so today is a new day and I wanted to cover some things that I have been thinking about. First the new year has me thinking about where I want to be in regards to my online progress.

I have spent literally 2 years on the web reading, researching, studying and buying ebooks, e-courses and joining memberships.

Seriously I am a information addict and its getting to be frustrating for me because I want to take all this info and do something with it.

So what I did is I opened an account with Godaddy and I went on a domain buying spree and got all these keyword rich domains actually over 30 of them and I have them pointing to Bluehost.

Then I did the one click install of wordpress on each domain and started adding content from ezinearticles. But the only problem is I do not know how to monetize these niche sites to earn money.

Not to mention how am I going to get enough traffic to the sites in the first place. I have followed many marketers on the web and read about their strategies.

I have read plenty of great step by step guide that I know will work and I have tried a few of them but now I want to get approved for affiliate programs.

I wonder if my sites are too new to get approved?

So for the new year I want to diversify my payment with multiple income streams.

My thoughts are to sell items on amazon through their fulfillment services, then I am thinking of creating my own ebooks and selling them on smashwords or amazon kindle, I just need to learn how to format the content and do a ecover.

Next I would like to promote products using  PepperJam, NeverBlueAds, CPA network, shareasale, linkshare or CJ because I am not wanting to deal with Amazon or Ebay as an affilliate because they only pay through Paypal and that is not an option I want to use right now.

I have earned from google adsense but since they are getting so strict I really would like an alternative to them. I have used kontera, chitika as well but they do not seem to pay as well for all the effort.

>>>>>>>>I need help with learning how to drive traffic to my niche sites, I have read and studied about backlinks but am confused on where to get the backlinks and how to word the anchor text and what manual links look natural ect.

Traffic, links and products to promote is what I want to accomplish in 2012.

 Any suggestions? What do you think?
