Top Domain Reseller Earns $38,000 Last Month!
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008
Ideally when you make a website you can find a business that earns residual income, this means that your customers pay you month to month or year to year. Rather than most businesses where you sell something and then that customer may or may not come back to purchase something, residual income allows you to earn money regularly from a customer.
A great residual income generator is reselling domains names and web hosting. The reason this is so beneficial is that the customer must pay you anually to keep their domain name or monthly to keep their web hosting account active. Obviously they can pre-pay for a certain period but they still remain your customer.
Domain Reseller Earns $38,000 In One Month
It’s true, a domain name reseller earned over $38,000 just last month reselling domain names, web hosting and other website related services. Obviously this is a top performer that put a lot of work into their website and marketing but it definitely can be done.
This reseller started out small and as time went on he started building a client base that renewed their services which allowed them to earn more in month than some people earn in a year and all they do is market the services.

The is for a basic reseller program and to lower your buy rate on domains, web hosting, etc you can upgrade to the Pro Reseller for $159.99 per year and earn even more.
What You Need To Become A Domain Reseller

Making Hyperlinks Open In A New Window
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008I was doing some research on topics that visitors were searching for on my blog and at www.MakeAWebsiteSpot.com and found that quite a few people are looking for a way to get hyperlinks to open in a new window.
This is actually a very simple snippet of HTML code. A hyper link allows you to create a link from a webpage to another webpage in your website or to a completely different website.
Basic Hyperlink
The code to use is:
<a href=”http://www.websitespot.com”>Domain Name Registration</a>
The link would appear as: Domain Name Registration
Creating Hyperlinks To Open In A New Window
If you create a link but would like to open a new browser window once it’s clicked you can simply add a little more code to accomplish this. I’ve highlighted the additional code below.
<a target=”_blank” href=”http://www.websitespot.com”>Domain Name Registration</a>
The link would appear as Domain Name Registration but would open a new window when clicked.
That’s it, if you’re using a WYSIWYG editor such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver you probably won’t need this know this code because you can simply click a button that tells the hyperlink to open in a new window but it certainly doesn’t hurt to know.

Make Money Selling Advertising Space
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008The third part of my methods on how to make money online pertains to websites that have a fair amount of traffic to their website already. You should consider space on your website as real estate that can earn you money.
How Does Selling Advertising Work
If you have a decent amount of traffic to your website it’s probable that there are companies that would be willing to pay you to place a banner add or simply a text link on your website. Generally you’ll find that the companies that want to advertise on your website offer complementary products.
For instance, say your website is a tutorial about making your own website. If you can get a decent amount of traffic to your website it’s likely that you could sell advertising to companies that offer website building software or search engine optimization services.
The reason is that they know that the people that are visiting your website would be more interested in their product or service than if they were to advertise on a website related to cars.
How Much Can You Make Selling Advertising
This question is best answered by the amount of traffic that your website receives. If you get 100 hits a day your pricing would be significantly lower than if your website receives 50,000 hits per day.
The best way to determine pricing is by doing research on websites that currently sell advertising space. To take it a step further, it’d be best to research websites in the same market as the product or service that you offer.
How Is Advertising Billed
There are two main ways to sell advertising, you can either sell it for a flat rate per month regardless of hits to your website.
Another method is CPM, this is ‘cost per thousand impressions’, what this is saying is that you’re going to bill based on the number of times the advertisers ad is displayed.
For instance, say your website gets 50,000 hits per month and you bill at $5.00 cpm. This is saying that for every 1000 impressions (times the ad is displayed) it costs the advertiser $5.00. In this example you would bill the advertiser $250. As you can see the more traffic to your website the more you can make.
Another options is cpc, cost per click, this isn’t a very popular option because the opportunity for click fraud is there so it’s not an option that most advertisers would consider.
Additional Information
If you’d like to read more on selling advertising on your website you can visit a page that I put together with detailed information on how to sell advertising space on your website. You’ll also find a couple of free software options to manage your advertising campaigns.
In my next post I’ll cover selling products online.

Make Money Selling Other People’s Stuff
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008In this next post on how to make money online I’m going to cover drop shipping. I’m not talking about selling your neighbors lamp on eBay, I’m talking about selling the products for a company that offers drop shipping services. Most of these products are new and are purchased slightly higher than if you were to buy in bulk.
What Is Drop Shipping
Drop shipping is a method of selling a companies products without having to invest in buying the products in bulk. The pricing is generally slightly higher than if you were to buy them wholesale but they are still priced to allow you to make a profit.
How Does Drop Shipping Work
Drop shipping works by setting up an account with a company that offers drop shipping. Then you place the products on your website, generally through shopping cart software of some sort. Your visitors then complete the purchase through your website. You’ll need to accept payments online through either a merchant account or even through Pay Pal.
Once the sale is completed you’ll need to notify the drop ship company via the method that they specify. Some companies will want you to email it to them while others will require the order be faxed in or completed on their website.
Once this is done they will fulfill the order that you specified and generally email you a tracking number which you can pass along to your customer.
Benefits Of Drop Shipping
The main benefit of drop shipping is that you have no up-front cost. If you don’t sell anything, you don’t need to pay anything.
Another benefit is that most drop shipments are done anonymously meaning that the companies information is nowhere in the delivered package. This is a benefit because if the customer wants to reorder, they will most likely come back to your website for repeat purchases since they know nothing about the company that actually shipped their order.
Also, one nice thing about drop shipping is that it’s low maintenance. You don’t need to keep inventory, pay payroll or even rent to store all of the merchandise.
Additional Information On Drop Shipping
If you’re interested in reading more on drop shipping companies you can view an entire article that I wrote on making money drop shipping. In the article you’ll find information on locating drop ship companies in additional to common fees that you’ll likely incur.

Make Money Online With Affiliate Programs
Monday, May 12th, 2008I was thinking about what I would write about next and I thought that a common question is how to make money online so my next few posts are going to be a few different ways to make money online. When you decide to make a website you’ll want to have a clear idea of what your intentions are or you’ll find that you keep having to go back and make changes to your website.
What Is An Affiliate Program?
Affiliate programs allow you to make money by referring your website visitors to a specific companies products or services. Most affiliate programs are free and can be setup in about 5 minutes.
After you have completed your registration you’ll be given a unique id within a link to the website for example, www.VendorSite.com/affid=1234. When you make your own website you’ll simply link to the vendors website using this unique URL.
When a visitor to your website clicks on that link a cookie is placed on their computer to ensure that you are given credit for the referral. If the visitor completes a purchase with the vendor you’ll receive a pre-defined percentage of that sale.
Some companies pay you per lead such as mortgage companies. What happens here is if the visitor completes a form or some other lead generating method you are paid for that as well. As I mentioned, you’d run into this will mortgage companies in addition to insurance companies, credit card companies, etc.
Low Startup Cost
As I mentioned, setting up an account as an affiliate is generally free so it’s a great way of making some additional money without having to come up with any sort of money up-front.
If you happen to have a particular subject that’s related to your website you can search for companies that offer affiliate programs and link to them. This is your best option because if your website is related to cars it doesn’t make much sense to have affiliate links to baby gifts.
Additional Information
I have created an ‘how to’ page on making money with affiliate programs if you’re interested in reading information on affiliate marketing and easy ways to manage you’re affiliate campaigns it’s definitely worth reading.
