The CTR Theme- the best theme for great Google Adsense earnings

Ever since I started the Smart Income Blog, my goal and mission was to create multiple passive/residual income streams.  Since then, I’ve researched multiple methods of generating those streams and bought a number of products.  And I know I sound like a broken record, but I will say this again.

Residual income does not equal a lazy person.

You will work long hours without making a dime.  You will also spend long hours testing what works and what doesn’t work in you.

One of my favorite methods of generating the “holy grail” of residual income is niche sites.  I currently have several niche sites up and running, and I’ve actually made a few dollars here and there.

The funny thing about it is, I haven’t really added much more to them besides setting them up.  I need to put a lot more work into my sites for them to add up to anything significant, but any forward progress is progress.

The CTR Theme is a premium WordPress theme developed to help you get started building Google Adsense sites easy and quickly. Now, I hesitate to use the words “easy” and “quickly”, but, I have to admit, the CTR Theme does indeed get your site up in no time flat!

The CTR Theme is something I stumbled upon recently and I’ve been using it to set up Google AdSense sites.  I love it because it’s pretty flexible.  I could probably not do the CTR Theme enough justice, so watch the video below to learn more about it.  The owner of the CTR Theme, Eppie Volt,  has put together a great video that will walk you through the CTR Theme.

This is the first time I’ve done a Link Love post on the Smart Income Blog, but I really read some AMAZING blogs this week.  Some posts are from faces that I know, but most were from blogs I was just introduced to for the first time.

As an internet marketer, entrepreneur, or MMO’er (yeah, I said it!), you’re in the trenches, with multiple streams of income as your end goal.  In trying to achieve your goal, you have to use every weapon at your disposal.  As we know, most wars are not won overnight.  And being successful in achieving passive multiple streams of  income  is no different.

Point blank, if you’re putting all your hopes and dreams on one source of generating income for yourself as a entrepreneur, you’re already behind.  In business, the stock market in particular, teaches that diversification is the key to building a great portfolio.  So why, as an internet entrepreneur, should you “put all your eggs in one basket?” Continue Reading »
