Hi folks! Sorry for not posting for long time…again. I’ve been so busy with so many things. There were also some distractions that were keeping me from making money online. But, now I want to give a new life to this site. Thanks for your visits and continued support. You’re keeping this site/blog alive.
You will notice that this blog URL has been changed to http://www.freetipsandwits.com/moneymakingblog/. Unlike before, there is now a trailing slash. The browsers, namely IE and Firefox, are automatically adding it. I am not sure if it is the new Wordpress or web standards. I tried to rewrite it with HTACCESS but to no avail. With this unwanted change, I also changed the URL structures of my posts.
Because of lack of updates and changes in the URL, this blog has lost PageRanks, and significant amount of web traffic. Those are good lessons to learn. Hence, I want to give this a new life. Now, I am planning to change the design of this blog…again. So, please forgive me if there will be sudden changes here in the coming days. I will also post some interesting articles to help you work at home and make money online, from time to time. I hope you’ll like them.
Cheers to this Rebirth…The new life to work at home and make money online!
Derek Gehl who is one of the top internet marketing experts, has answered the top 3 questions regarding eBay. If you already have internet auction business particularly eBay (successful or not) or a newbie who is planning to start an eBay auction business, this will surely help you.
Question #1: Why eBay??? I want to make ‘real’ money, not just make a few dollars selling junk for pennies!
Here’s a news flash… Selling “junk” on eBay is never going to make you rich and it’s not something I’d ever recommend.
The secret to eBay success is using key research tools to discover what people are buying on eBay and how much they’re willing to spend. Then all you have to do is find a cheap source of that product so you can buy it for less, then turn around and sell it at a generous mark-up on eBay.
It’s not rocket science… and there are no tricks and gimmicks involved, just steady, reliable income, and the chance to grow a huge opt-in list of people you can sell other products to in the future.
It might not be as SEXY as the one-in-a-million chance of launching a website that starts making 1000s of dollars overnight. But it’s way more of a sure thing and personally, I find a guaranteed extra $1,000 a month sexier than a distant longshot any day of the week.
Question #2: I’ve been pouring all my free time and money into my online business, now you’re saying I need to start all over again with eBay?
For goodness’ sake, no. If you’re smart, you should use eBay to help you grow your “regular” online business, not replace it.
Not only is eBay an excellent place to do valuable market research, you’ll also know what your potential buyers are buying. It also allows you to grow a huge opt-in list of people you can sell to, before your off-eBay site is even up and running.
Imagine that being able to drive thousands of interested buyers to your site the very same day you launch it.
Question #3: I already have a profitable online business. Why should I bother with eBay?
My answer is, I guess it depends on how happy you are with your traffic numbers.
If you’re getting so much web site traffic that it’s crashing your server and you literally don’t know what to do with it, then you probably don’t want to use eBay to send more visitors to your site.
BUT, if you’re getting less than 500 visitors a day, or if you’re getting more than that but your visitors aren’t converting to sales. Then, you should seriously consider eBay auction. It’s a great way to drive highly targeted visitors to your site.
Remember, these are people you’ve found on the world’s largest marketplace, which means they’re enthusiastic online shoppers. They’re exactly the kind of people you want to introduce your products to.
I have been receiving queries on how much money I make online with my web site and blog. I’ve been shying away from this question because I have to hit $10K a month yet.
But, I’ve stumbled upon this post of Paula Neal Mooney and I realized that it is a good idea to share this kind of info to others who want to work at home and make money online. It is better if you will know how much a certain blogger or webmaster make money with the kind of blog or web site he is running. Though, some may overstate or understate their earnings. So, just evaluate and judge it by yourself.
My Top Money Makers
Below are my top money makers from January to July 2007. I started some of them only in the middle of the period:
Web site traffic is the main factor to make money online. If you have a huge web site traffic, you can make huge money on the net. Honestly speaking, driving a good traffic to your site is not plain and easy. It needs dedication, patience, creativity, sociability and continuous learning. Here are the top 7 sources of free web site traffic that could help you.
My Online Advertisements
If you want to speed up increasing web site traffic and you are ready to invest some amount of money, use online advertising. Here are my online advertising that bring around 25% of web site traffic at an average cost of $100 a month:
To maximize your ROI (Return on Investment), make sure that you give a clear direction on you site or blog for your visitors to follow. This is the direction that will guide them to find what they’re looking for. By doing so, you hit your goal as well.
My other minimal expenses are for my domain name and hosting, as follows:
Honestly, I learned website building from scratch in 2005. Then, I registered my domain name in October of the same year. It was just for fun of having my own website to brag with my family and friends. I had zero knowledge in SEO, then. Hence, my domain name was not optimized.
I built my website in 2006 with nonsense content. On the later part of 2006, I learned the detailed SEO techniques from Ken Evoy, who has been instrumental to the success of several top money making web sites. So, I immediately revamped and redesigned my website. I began posting search-engine-optimized contents that help others make money online. From then, it has started gaining PageRank, receiving web site traffic from search engines and beginning to make money. And in January 2007, I started my blog and it reached PR4 in April.
So far, I am happy with the money I make with my website. I have a limited time for writing and posting blog entries as I’m still working as a slave horse. But, I am very much optimistic that I can make more money in the future. I see vast opportunities to work at home and make money online, full-time without a BOSS watching over my shoulders.
I believe you can make it, too. Just take the first step…Do it NOW!
