How to Make Money With Free Content Websites

1. Establish a niche target market you plan to serve (selling business e-books, for example). The websites must offer a professional look with easy navigation; making significant money with free content websites is not easy with a poorly designed site. Also, use keywords Internet surfers will likely type to find your website; these keywords may help determine the kinds of ads that will appear.

2. Obtain the quality content required for the selected niche. Each website with free content must have a focus (education or money matters, for example). Purchase articles online that relate to your topics, or create the content materials yourself. Keep the text free of spelling errors and easy to read. If necessary, have an SEO copywriter review the articles for keyword phrases to attract more strategic traffic from search engines to make money with free content.

3. Incorporate advertising options that can gain residual income over time, such as contextual ads. For example, contextual ads offer links that pop up based on hovering above certain keyword phrases. Free to set up, these options generate payouts once you reach a certain threshold. To get started, register for an account online and provide some details about your website.

4. Try pay-per-click ads to gain a share of the money from each time a user clicks on an advertisement---a popular option for many websites due to the ease of setting up the ads and placing them between free content on websites. You can establish an account for free within minutes of registering. Google, a popular option, provides analytics reports.

5. Register for commission-based affiliate programs to earn more money with free-content websites. Affiliate programs come from companies or individuals that sell a product or service and will give you a fee for a referral lead. Sometimes, the registered account holder receives payment for views or per click. Typically, these programs are e-books or programs that complement the content on your website. For example, if you focus on college students, your site can provide a book that covers how to get an internship. Look for these affiliate opportunities with large companies, such as Best Buy or Amazon. Though free to open, these accounts but may require approval before inclusion to see how well your website fits the parent company's target market.

How to Work From Home and Become a Google Quality Rater

Apply:

I have included the link in my resources section below. You will need a cover letter and resume. In addition, Google asks that you possess a four year college degree, and have some writing experience.However, I know people who have gotten hired without a college degree. You will also be asked to take an easy test. When you apply, expect to wait a few weeks for a response. Google hires in cycles, so be patient. Pay ranges from $10-$20/hour, and you must work at least ten (10) hours a weeks. However, you can work up to forty hours in the comfort of your own home! If you are fluent in another language, expect an influx of work to come your way from Google.

2.

Sign a disclosure statement:

There is little to no information in regards to becoming an ad rater for Google. This is because Google does not want people discussing the trade secrets of advertising and/or how ads are rated. Rating ads is like a science experiment. Basically ad ratings have to rated in a controlled environment without discussion. You will need to sign a disclosure statement after you accept a position.

3.

Complete Tasks:

You will receive tasks for the week when you log onto your account. Tasks are first- come-first-serve, so be sure to grab your tasks early. Tasks are easy, but tedious. You are also rated for your performance as an employee on a report card. If you are consistent and complete your tasks in a timely matter, you should have no problem.

How to Sell an Online Community

1. Compile reports on traffic, number of monthly users and any income the online community makes. Monthly users and traffic reports can be exported from Google Analytics (see Resources) or any other website traffic tracking system you are using. For income reports, export those from the companies you are utilizing to make money, such as Google AdSense.

2. Calculate the worth of your website by multiplying its annual revenue by three to six. Use your income reports to determine how much you make annually before taxes.

3. List the website on specialized sites such as Flippa and Buy Sell Website (see Resources). A variable fee is charged for both listing and selling the site. Create a standard ad or an auction for the site. Ads must include the URL, revenue figures, visitor totals, a detailed description of where and how you get the revenue and your accepted payment methods. Include any screen caps that back up your revenue and visitor claims.

4. Agree with the buyer on a transition plan, including the transfer of the domain name. Ask for a partial payment, with the remainder paid when you transfer the actual website files to the buyer. Put the files on a CD or DVD and send them to the buyer using a mail service with a tracking number for additional security.

How to Transfer Email to a Different Server

2. Click on the 'Settings' or 'Option' button for your email address and then click the 'Accounts' or 'Accounts and Imports' button to look at the accounts.

3. Click on the 'Import from another account' or 'Add account' buttons and then type in the log-in information for the account that you want to transfer the emails from. In the example given, you are transferring from Yahoo! to Gmail so you will need to type in your Yahoo! log-in information.

How to Setup CB Storefront

1. Register a CB Storefront account, then purchase one of the templates listed on the site. All of these templates can be previewed on the various sites that offer CB Storefront accounts. Some CB Storefronts can be brought as part of a package, which gives you access to a suite of different templates.

2. Access your account and open your 'Templates' tab. Expand or click the link to take you to the code sample for your template. This code may be HTML, XML, CSS or PHP, depending on the sophistication of the CB Storefront site. Follow any special instructions listed carefully. Highlight the code, which should be in it's own dialog box, then press 'CTRL+C' to copy it.

3. Paste this code into your website's code, either in a stand-alone module or directly into the HTML stylesheet. Upload this by FTP to update your site in real-time. Most modern websites use scripting languages to embed or incorporate external elements into a website design, and the pre-selected code accounts for this with a stand-alone script that refers to the appropriate service providers.

How to Start a Blog Page and Make Money

1.

BLOGSPOT.COMOr if you prefer, Blogger.com. They're both the same thing, doesn't matter which one you use. So go sign up for a blog at Blogspot.com. It's completely free, and you'll be blogging your brains out in no time.There are tons of places to get your own blog, but I recommend Blogspot because it's owned by Google, and that makes it really easy to set up AdSense for your new blog. What is AdSense? It puts those small Google advertisements onto your blog. This is good, because you make money when people click on the links! Not bad for a free blog, huh?

2.

PICK YOUR URLThe next step is picking your new blog's URL, or the address people type into their web browser to pull up your blog. If you're using Blogspot like you should be, your blog's URL will be YOURBLOGHERE.blogspot.com, and that's super.Don't sweat it too much, because you can always change your blog's name whenever you want. But the best idea is to find a good title and a good URL and stick with them. Changing your URL and title will only confuse people who may be trying to keep up with your blog, and drive away repeat readers.Try to make the URL simple. This can be hard sometimes because there's tons of people using Blogspot, and there's a really good chance that SteveSmith.blogspot.com has already been taken. So you have to think of something else.

3.

THEME ITIt's good to have a general theme for when you start a blog, so think of a topic you have a lot to say about and use that as your new blog's title. An example is like, if you decide that your new blog is about surfing, then name your blog SurfSpot.blogspot.com. If it's already taken then think of something else, such as calling it TheOriginalSurfSpot. This is one of my favorite tricks, because it makes your blog look like the real deal while that other guy's surfing blog is left out in the cold. Take that, beach bum.

4.

CHOOSE A TEMPLATENext up is picking a template for your new blog. Blogspot calls their site 'push button publishing,' and you're about to find out why. You can change your layout whenever you want, and it's a good idea to come back later and reevaluate your template after a couple weeks after you start a blog. But for now just pick something you don't totally hate. Don't get sucked into analysis paralysis or else you may never actually write a single word in your new blog. Boom, boom, boom - that's the way to get this done.

5.

NEW POSTAfter you verify your e-mail address and all that, now it's time for the party. Log in to your new blog and click on New Post. This brings up a terrifying blank screen and a blinking cursor staring you dead in the face. Get on it, schlepprock. This isn't Hamlet here, it's blogging. And it's your first blog post, so don't expect anything great. Just write something. Introduce yourself and your blog and outline what you hope to accomplish. The goal is to write and forget about it. You'll hone your blogging skill as you go, but the only way to get better at blogging is to keep blogging.

6.

STAY ON TOPICThis is one of the newest things I have learned, and it can be one of the most difficult. You don't want to be posting a bunch of stuff about your new toy poodle on your Original Surf Spot blog. The reason treads on complicated ground, with a lot of ins and outs about search engine optimization (SEO). But the general idea is you want your blog to be solid. At first your blog probably won't show up anywhere near the first few pages of search results when someone searches for 'surfing blogs,' but after a long stretch of continually posting original content about surfing, your surf blog will creep its way up the list towards the coveted number one spot on Google! But if you're posting about different topics all over the place, someone who clicks on your blog looking for surfing information probably won't stick around and definitely won't come back to your new blog.So if you want people to actually read your blog, keep it fairly focused on a single topic.

7.

POST ITClick on the button to post this sucker, and there you have it: your very first blog post on your very own blog! And that's something to write home about, because lots of people don't have the balls to do what you just did.Now blog it out the wazoo, son!

8. MAKING MONEYNow if you're going to start making money with your blog, the best thing to do first is set up Google AdSense on your page. Do a Google search for 'setting up Google AdSense on Blogger,' and you'll find many guides that will walk you through the process of signing up for and installing AdSense on your new blog.
