Currently I am working hard on several affiliate marketing related projects. I hope that the next 5-6 days will shows some really interesting results. I am really looking forward to this. I have done a lot of keyword research and are now building a website for this product I am trying to promote accordingly. I got a great landing page ready for testing and I hope that this project will be able to bring in some great cash-flow.

How do I build my websites? I use Wordpress and the revolution themes. I do have a licensed copy of the developer pack and therefore have great options for almost any niche I am tackling. I build all my sites with SEO in mind as well and therefore spend about 2-3 hours customizing a website before loading the content. So, even if a PPC project does not work out as anticipated, often SEO comes into play and the websites start generating a small cash-flow 3-4 months down the road. They also gain some value that I could use and sell them on the open market, but I have not sold many websites lately as I see potential with them for my own portfolio. One thing I know and I am pretty sure about it, is that I will go back and revisit certain projects over time and that I have several websites where monetization started working 6-12 months later. One of my goals is still self-employment and I know once I have enough recurring income going that I will also have better resources to re-vitalize some projects. At that point I have aged websites that represent a great infrastructure.

Even if I would not become full-time self-employed, these website represent value which I can sell at one point if I wanted to. Currently my portfolio of websites is probably worth somewhere between $40K and $50K - maybe $10K less or maybe $10K more. You get the idea.
