How to learn from already established mone making machines

In my opinion the most underrated method of learning how to make money online is to find what others are doing and try to copy it in a different way (different niche).
Just felt bored for a moment and decided to make this quick quide that can make some newcomers into the IM world think differently.
I will use a blog that I came across recently and liked what they are doing.

The blog: simplemost.com
The article I will use as example: simplemost.com/science-says-sleeping-cold-room-better-health-because-body-heat/

Website development:
- simple wordpress magazine theme.
Content:
- Short well written articles on variety interesting topics with low search keywords.
Traffic:
- Social media group posting
- Back links from their other similar websites
- Both things converting into organic google traffic overtime
Monetization:




1.
Advertisement by google adsense (estimated income: 150$/day)
2.
Email list, they gather emails from website fans and send them any kind of promotional material. (products, link of their new articles, different websites their own..)
(estimated income: 50$/day)
3.
A direct cool window to like their Facebook page. They post new articles and different kind of promotional material.
4.
Backlinks, its a link that targets a different website. They can be used to link your other own websites, sold to people as marketing space or directly converted into money by any of the thousands affiliate programs out there.
(estimated income: 50$/day)
5.
Amazon affiliate link. The whole article is based on this, the article purpose is to catch the readers attention and make them love what they read about with hopefully they will want to buy the product this is linked to.
(estimated income: 100$/day)




I know this is not as helpful as it can be, but I don't have the time nor the writing skills to make it. I just hope its gonna be enough for you to think a little bit differently about your learning techniques.

I am not so experienced into researching this kind of stuff so feel free to correct me and tell me what's differently done on this blog.
And also hopefully someone will create another thread more detailed like this.
Thanks for reading.

How are you estimating their income when you don't know their traffic? That's pretty bold of you.

Well you actually have numerous ways of finding out a website traffic but I am quite positive that there is not one 100% certain method, buuut what you can do is check how big the estimated traffic is from different sources and then do AVG from the numbers, and then do an ESTIMATION of their earnings.
And dude my estimating of the profit is not important at all its just a way of showing how much a certain monetization method CAN earn you.
