Truth Files: Pulling Back the Curtain on Autopilot Income

April 23rd, 2010 | 115 Comments

A few minutes ago, I finished writing a report that covers what I’ve been busy working on for the past several months.

You’ll laugh when you see the earnings screenshots, but the point is I’m showing you how this business really works. In this file I’m showing you a slow start to a network of sites I started building in November.

If you’re trying to earn from Adsense/CPA offers/Affiliate programs by driving traffic through SEO, you’ll see what a realistic expectation is.

I know I do things different than most, so just by that fact, I’m slowing things down. And I probably should burn this report rather than making it public, but I’m really tired of the hype that surrounds the Internet Marketing industry.

I just want to set the record straight on what it really takes to create Autopilot income, which is very possible, but as many will try to hide, does take work.

So if you want to see what I’ve been working on, read this report. It may also inspire you not to give up on your next project.

If people are interested, I’ll keep posting updates to the project. The end goal is $15,000 a month of autopilot income from the network of sites I built in November.

Again, you can read the Truth File right here.

    Wow! I am really impressed. I have not build any adsense sites yeat and after reading your article I am tempted to build a few. I have extra domains to use. Looking forward to the $15k a month target. That is my target also.

  5. It’s true that there is bunch of gurus marketing each other and brag about making millions while they’r sleeping but truth is nobody knows.

  6. Lisa – like so many of the earlier posters I thoroughly enjoyed your article (ebook) and it definitely mirrors some of the struggles I have had over the past year.

  7. Ali says:

    Truly Inspiring report enjoyed it very much

    Hi Lisa

    I am one of your Inline SEO students and I feel it is the most comprehensive SEO product I have bought (and there have been a few!). Really enjoyed your “truth file”, your integrity shines through. Wondering if you have any progress update for us please? Also was wondering how you are managing your backlinking now with G’s recent algorithm change?
    Many thanks, Rachel

  14. ipad Tricks says:

    i have about 3 websites getting over 200k visits per month but only making about $300 with google adsense. Something is wrong here.

  15. People need to keep their expectations reasonable when it comes to autopilot income. If it were so easy everyone would do it. Work hard and keep your expectations reasonable.

  16. Must Read for anyone who wants to make money online. Your insight about internet marketing is sharp as a scalpel.

  18. ATV Parts says:

    Is there really good money to be made in this industry? It seems like most of it is too good to be true, but I’m sure there are opportunities out there for how much you read about them online.

  19. Cathy says:

    Very interesting. I’d love to know where you are at now with these sites.

    And also which of those link building programs are worth it.

  20. Adsense/CPA offers are good source of income but they some time bored you from the work.

  21. Carries says:

    My real problem is that search engine optimization, I have put a website before, but I’ve given up, because I can not for it to do the right search engine optimization. SEO is really confusing to me, I am lost

  22. rubin says:

  23. Auto Pilot income always seems like such a myth to me, but im reading more and getting convinced its real

  24. LarryFine says:

    Lisa,

    Did any of your sites suffer from the “May Day” Google algo change? I had a big site similar to the ones you write about that really took a hit in terms of traffic and revenue. Wondering if any of your sites did the same.

  25. filme gratis says:

    Great post Lisa, very interesting report. Keep us updated with your progress.

    Take Care

  29. Copywriter says:

    Great report, so nice to read a new insight into creating money online. Well worth a read, and a re-read…

  30. Nice report Lisa!! I have seen many bloggers who owns more than 100 blogs and for sure they all are on auto system. The posts comes in regularly by feeds or other plugins and they enjoy the earning!

    I have tried building couple of them and got bored as it was hard to manage all of them!

    Still Lisa you have again motivated me and i would be thinking to go ahead with it!

  35. It seems your report is really good from the above comments. Sorry that I could not read your report right now because my Office Comp does not have a PDF reader and downloads have been block. But I am really curious to know what is in the report after reading the above comments. I am sure going to copy this in my pen drive, take it home and read it, expecting to get some great knowledge from your report

  36. Shahvonn says:

    Hi Lisa,

    Any updates on this project. I am curious to know how it is going. Thanks for keeping it real and letting people really know how internet marketing works.

  37. Joel says:

    Lisa, Long but interesting. I though it is purely on SEO but it was more on affiliate marketing. Good tips.

  38. Hi Lisa,

    That was a good read, I (almost) read the whole thing, which is very unusual for me, I’m more of a skimmer! One thing you didn’t mention (or perhaps I missed!) was if they were all related niches and if you benefited from interlinking the sites between themselves too?

  39. That was without a doubt one of the best reports I’ve read on IM. You’ve definitely lined out exactly how to set up an authority site that really works. I look forward to seeing how you’ve done since April.

  40. SF Sex Toy says:

    Autopilot income definitely takes a lot of effort and hard work to get off the ground – and regular upkeep to keep running. However, the financial rewards can be much greater than anything you could ever achieve working the ol’ 9 to 5 without being the CEO of a company…

  41. Kieran says:

    Hi Lisa,

    Just checking back in with how you’re getting on with your $15k goal and project? Along with me, am sure your other readers would be keen too hear of your project progress.

    Cheers
    Kieran
    (InlineSEO System happy customer)

  42. I think your site and your program is awesome. I read your truth file last night on my Kindle. I’m really doing clickbank offers but I’d like to get into some adsense. It’s been years since I touched Adsense. Can you offer up good up to date software or training programs on that?

  43. Josh says:

    Great stuff Lisa!

    It’s awesome to hear just how much hard work it takes to be successful online. I’m looking forward to reading that report of yours :)

  44. muku says:

    wow amazing information about internet marketing really great piece of info for me, i think day by day such marketing and its ways are getting intense, i think bloggers are becoming smart these days and they know ways to promote their content on internet.kudos to all bloggers who generates such peice of information for other novice bloggers to use for the good, yes but i think sharing information always helps because knowledge always increases by sharing not by hiding……

  45. thanks for very helpful report
    It really may inspire not to give up
    i hope you’ll keep posting updates.
    finally wish you to achieve your goal —
    $15,000 per month and more
    best regards

  46. youssef says:

    Its been more then 3 months…maybe its time for an update?

    I’ve been working on my sites too, a bath of 12, with similar results as yours. I have sites that did well out of the gate and others slow to get any traffic. I would say is a 50/50 when it comes to successful sites. But I do have solution for low performing sites, use them as leverage.

  47. Very interesting report thanks for sharing going to take time to read over it properly.

  48. DietmarD says:

    Thank you for being so honest and publishing your real earnings over the course of the first few months. It’s really interesting to see, what one can realistically expect. This is what makes your report so great and authentic.

    Thanks and greetings from Germany.

  49. I absolutely agree 100% about SEO being worth the time and effort! You hit the nail on the head…

    SEO will bring the visitors to your site or blog and though it seems like a lot of work, it is definitely worth the effort!

    Although there is some traffic to be had with social networks, I prefer to spend my time optimizing for SEO.

    Keep up the good work Lisa!

    Regards,

    James

    Hi Lisa,
