This guest post makes me $12k a year

Hey,

One day it occurred to me… I wonder if there are any links on my website that could be better monetised.

I figured there must be a way to see all my outgoing links, in order of most popular.

Turns out Google Analytics will let you see this data if you setup event tracking for it.

So that’s what I did and a month later I went back to look at the stats.

I now could see hundreds of websites IncomeDiary readers were going to from clicking links on my website. The top site had been clicked over 1000 times. I visited the page and they were selling software that they billed customers monthly for. I scrolled to the bottom of the page, found an affiliate program link, signed up and changed the URL on my website.

The first month I made $100 from changing this one link.

It’s a recurring product… so every month, it makes more and more money. Less than 2 years later, this one link makes over $1000 a month.

$12,000 a year for changing one link.

Best thing is, I didn’t even write the post. I paid someone $100 to write it for me.

Two lessons learned:

1. Often you can make more money by focusing on what’s already working. Pay attention to the details. Ask questions.

2. The return on investment for content marketing is unbelievable. $100 investment makes me $1000 a month and gets me over 1000 new visitors every day. Rinse and repeat for maximum benefit!
