Honestly, how much money do you make with these tools?

[JaysonKL]

Okay, check it out:  I have a full-time job, two small children, do volunteer work, and have a house to maintain.  Any work I do with SEO stuff would be early AM before work or on the weekend.  I'm a decent hack with web and programming, been working in IT since god knows when, but with only 1 or two hours every so often, I just don't have a lot of time to dig real deep.

so how much money can I make with this stuff?   rssE, BS, etc.  Seriously.  And God, please.... no disclaimers about "it depends, blah blah blah", or "you get in what you put out"  non-answers.  It's very frustrating.  I posted above about my personal situation, my skill level and time I can devote to this.  So what would be my bottom line?   And what is yours?  How much money are people making, and how much effort and tools are they using?

Come on, please, spill the beans!!  If it's a small amount, don't be embarassed, and if it's alot, what are you worried about sharing it here?  

Hope people read and respond to this.

Well it really does depend blah, blah, blah...  The tools these people offer are just tools.  Very good ones I may add, and I've been online over 11 years.

The point is "tools" are used to market services or products.  If you haven't identified your business niche, it's really hard to say how good any tools will do you.  Probably a poor example, but the best tools in the world aren't going to help you much if you're trying to sell photos of Saddam Hussein hanging from the gallows...

interesting question... very interesting...

Omar's blue print asks his users to ask this same very question about other scripts...

infact he does so in the OPENING PAGE of his "blue print"

i quote from the blue print

"As they say, the proof is in the pudding. Any any of the members NOT how they like the program, but how much money they're making and you'll find the results are dismal to non-existent"

so a little input from other users maybe a screen shot of there earning stats page etc would be of real help explaining - HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY MAING USING THE BLOG SOLUTION.

having purchased this script newly myself... i cant wait to hear more... from other users.

***************
mine is as below
***************

script running for about 24 - 72 hours with about 1000 blogs on a single domain.

2 pages indexed in google
made 3 cents from adsense from about 60 - 80 odd visits.

and i dont see any action today...
waiting for a reply from support dept about a confusion on turbocharge script which... might help.

one thing i can say about the support so far is that its prompt and helpful.

*************
end of my short saga

whats your story?

It is a very good question, but Im afraid the answere is not simple..

Ive been playing around wiht some different scropts and idees for over a year now, and the really hard part is finding your nich and  your way of working with things...
Since about 8-9 months ago my major creation software are from halfagain.. I am a very keen user of rssE and content solution, to that I have a few other small scripts to keep things running.
I think I have found my niches now, I try to concentrate on very few, but work them well. I guess I am much like you, I have a house wiht a mortgage to pay, 3 cars, 3 kids and a wife who does all the house work.. and I too run a nother business on the side (IT thing aswell..) but the websites are a good source of income.
April was a pretty good month, I made alittle over 3000 from Adsense and about 1500 on some other stuff (including selling of some sites..).. I think I could make more if I just spent  more time on it, I guess I spend about 4 hours a day currently... At the moment I have aoubt 500 sites/domains up and running.. I think a domain that earns 1 (yes ONE) USD/ WEEK is a good site if it is on "auto-pilot".. and that is really not to hard to get.. then all you need is a hell of a lot of sites..
The biggest problem was in the beginning to get over the 5$/day mark.. that took time.... but after that it kind of just rolled on..
Good luck!

PS. You willl have many, many days in the beginning with 0.01-0.90$.. that is just the way things seem to be.. it takes time..

Sounds like you're kicking some tail tomtom. Myself, I have been going for about 4 months and would like to know how did adsense become so profitable for you? My deal is getting traffic. I'm relying solely on surfers. Do you have a particular method? How many domains do you feel are necessary on a single I.P? Do you use all the halfagain tools? I have 4 I.P's at the moment with a domain on each with dozens to hundreds of sights. I'm no expert, but I'm learning a lot and growing. Do your amounts from adsense vary? Do you use other ad companies? Do you continually earn residuals on a monthly basis? I hope you can answer my questions. Your progress is inspiring.

Thanks,
Hawkeye

Hi

Yeah things are building up.. 4 months you say.. yeah I remember that time.. I was still working on getting over the 5usd a day mark... Then it kind of grew..
I get 90% of my traffic from search engines and then mostly from google.. Yes there are returning visitors to a few sites I have, but they are also managed a little different..
I have a few hosting accounts where I have a whole bunch of sites, that dosent matter so much as long as you dont cross link those sites... many hosting accounts for the blogs easpecially are low priced or free hosts just to get a spread on the blog network..
For my site network I use 10 resellr accounts, some of them offer more then one IP and like hostgator offer you more then one c-class and alot of IP's.. I actually dont have a good overview of that part yet.. I think if I had I could increase ranks/pr/visitors/income even more.. but as for now I have had no time for it.. but I have a system in my mind for that...just need someone to code it for me.. Im usless on that
Halfagain tools I use is CS and rssE, ive been playing around with rssM ( a friend of mine has it, so I have tried out some things with that, and I emailed Scott weeks ago to buy a copy over paypal, but no response yet.. SCOTT IF YOU READ THIS- I WANT TO BUY RSS-M!.. guess they are bizzi with sales of new CS )

Adsense income.. stable? Monthly, yes it grows slowly but surely.. daily, not really, some days I see as low as 50-60 and some it pops up to 120-130 (record day so far on adsense I think was 170usd).... other incomes? yeah sure I seel a link now and then.. I sell some sites now and then.. and some aff links and such.. it all bings in a little here and there, but yes adsese is the biggest contributor to my site network..

Can it be better? Yes it can.. there are a few scrips/programs I am missing and cant find.. that would make life easier and better.. more sites are always needed... more hosting acounts would be great.. well more money in general would be fine too But over all Im pretty pleased with my little network of sites...

There is only one person who will ever know how much money I'm making - me.

[whos]

I've been making around $8000 per month with a grayish hat.

It comes down to making REALLY good templates, carefully choosing your niches, and finding every GOOD long-tailed keyword under the sun.

The rest is pure sweat.....not so much these days. Three years ago I was doing 16 hours a day, 7 days a week - like a moron.

I thought you had only just bought these tools (looking at another thread on this forum). :confused:

[whos]

I just bought these tools, but I've been in IM for 4 years now.

I've used a few other gen type builders, plus Wordpress blogs, etc. etc.
