Flipping websites

Flipping websites is something any noob can do. But before you start you should be taking a pledge that – you’ll be selling your site – if you are getting profit. That should be the only aim of yours from now on – if you are thinking of flipping websites. From now on, don’t create sites for keeping it with you – you should create sites planning to sell them for the best price. The better the site and the domain name, the better will be the profit that you’ll be seeing from them. There is no need of keeping sites for long. But it will have advantage when selling – if the site is with traffic. But there is no use of getting traffic and all, if your aim is to flip sites.

I’m not completely against – getting traffic to sites before flipping it. But you should do these things on a rapid manner. Your aim should be to create more and more sites. This way, you’ll see money coming in your pockets pretty fast. And using this money, you can make these things done by others. Yes, you can hire professionals who are experienced in making sites. You can hire separate professionals for writing content, designing the pages, driving traffic etc. And when you do things this way, you’ll be able to create more sites per month or even per week.

Again, as a website flipper, never create sites to keep it with you. Create sites to sell off for profits. If you register good domain names, then the profit that you’ll be making after selling the sites would be much higher. Some buyers give more preference over the domain name rather than the content or design of the site. So, keep these things in mind. If you start flipping sites, you’ll surely be making some easy money online. And one more thing, don’t start hiring workers now, do that only after you make some money by flipping your first 10-20 sites. By then you’ll be having money to hire them and pay what they ask. Don’t hire cheap workers – hire those that are qualified to do those works. Again, don’t spend any money out of your pockets. First of all, earn some money by working on your own. Then using the profit that you got, hire workers and earn more.

Getting backlinks the easy way

One of the easiest and most natural way to get backlinks is by article marketing. It includes submitting articles in article directories, and also writing and publishing content on different blogs. One of the best article directory at the moment is ezinearticles.com – you can submit articles there and also get a backlink from the site to yours. It is a high authority site, and so, even an inner page will be of great value when it comes to deciding the quality of a backlink.

The advantage of submitting articles to ezinearticles is that you’ll be getting traffic, and also quality backlinks. Yup, you heard it right. The articles in ezinearticles are published in a lot of sites. When people publish these articles in their site, they’ll be including the link that is at the bottom of the article as well. And this link would be to your site if the article that they are publishing in their site is something you have already published in ezine. The number of people who copy your article may vary depending on the quality of the article. So, if you want a lot of people to copy your article, then you should be publishing quality articles. This way, you are getting more than one backlink. In your article at ezinearticles you’ll be able to put a maximum of 2-3 links at the end of the article. And when these are copied by others, then the number of backlinks will multiply to a big number!

This way, you are getting not only backlinks, but also traffic to your sites. The number of backlinks that you’ll be getting will depend on the quality of articles that you are publishing in the article directory. If you just don’t care about the quality of the article, then you can use some article re-writing software and then rewrite an article to many and then post to many article directories. This way, the number of backlinks can be increased pretty easily. But the quality of a software re-written article won’t be that good as a manually written unique article. So, think what’s better for you, and go for it.

Getting traffic to your sites

If you have decided to create some websites and make some money out of it, then you should make sure that you’ll be spending at least 5 hours daily for your sites. These things can’t be done by spending an hour or two a week in an internet cafe. It would be great, if you are with a laptop and a dedicated internet connection.

After you create websites, you should be pouring in traffic to those sites. Simply spamming here and there wont do any good. For that, you should go on with things the natural way. Yup, I mean it. You should be creating an identity for yourself online. You should make others contact you for help or for any other kinda stuffs. What I wanted to say is that – you should be active in online communities.

Being active in online communities means to respond to discussions that are discussed over those places. It’ll benefit you in many ways. This way, you’ll be better known by others – not just that, your skills will also be known by others. This way, you can get some potential clients if you are good at doing some kind of services online – like article writing, logo designing, programming etc. But, our primary aim should be to drive traffic to our sites.

Almost all online communities allow to put a link to our websites in our profile page which we’ll be getting after registering an account there. And some sites will even allow you to start blogs there. And being an active member out there, your blog will be visited by many. Take this as an opportunity to drive traffic to your sites. I hope you guys will be knowing how to deal with things from then on. If you are able to follow things till this stage, then the next stage is something that you’ll be able to do pretty easily without anyone’s help. So go for it – you’ll surely be succeeding if you have followed what we have explained here.

How to get quality content for your websites?

A website with quality content will always be getting decent traffic without doing much promotions. People will come again and again, since they are getting something new to learn or read. And if things are expressed in a good way, then they may feel it interesting to read and this might also make them one of the regular visitors of your site. But publishing quality content on a regular basis is not an easy job.

You might be thinking that you would surely be able to publish content on your sites on daily basis- after all its just a single post a day, right? But it won’t be that easy. What if you feel pretty tired for writing a quality post after coming from your college, job or whatever? And what if you continue it for the next few days. You will soon start to lose the knack in writing articles for your sites. You’ll be feeling as if it’s boring to write content on your own. And if that’s the case with you, then you should change your plans a bit.

At such situations you can choose either of the two options that we are going to mention here. You can update your sites on a weekly basis on your own or you can hire an article writer for your writing needs. If you are taking the first option, then it won’t be costing you anything. Not just that, it won’t be even eating up your precious time. But this won’t be bringing much posts even after a month or two. But on the other hand, if you settle with an article writer you’ll be getting articles on a daily basis without much efforts.

Before you decide to hire an article writer you should think whether it would be worth it. If your main aim is to make money from the different sites, then you should be thinking about the revenue that you’ll be getting after you publish those articles in your sites. A part of your earnings will have to be spent for hiring an article writer. Taking this into consideration calculate your earnings per month. And if you think, you’ll be getting some profit out of it, then go for it. Otherwise, concentrate in publishing your own content.

How to host a newly created domain name?

After you register a domain name, the next thing that you should be doing is to host it somewhere. Its better to go with a reputed hosting company even if they charge a little bit higher than the rest. But if you don’t care with whom you host your site, then you may even go with a free hosting provider.

Depending on the size and complexity of your site, you may choose either a shared hosting, virtual private hosting or a dedicated hosting. When you buy a shared hosting account from a hosting provider, you will be allocated a portion of the disk space that is shared by thousands of other members who have already bought shared hosting from them. Not just the disk space, you’ll be sharing the RAM, bandwidth and other such resources with the many others who are hosting their sites with that particular shared hosting provider. If your site is getting a large amount of traffic daily, then it’s better to go with either a VPS (virtual private server) or a dedicated hosting.

The working of a VPS is much like a dedicated server. Here some kind of special software will be used by the hosting provider and this way you’ll be given a separate area under a server. But unlike a shared hosting account, the RAM, bandwidth and other such resources won’t be shared with others. You will be able to choose different plans according to your needs. Based on that, you’ll be given the resources which will be used exclusively for your needs. A VPS can be ordered for as low as $20 per month.

If your site is getting a lot of traffic, then you may opt for a dedicated server. This way, you are buying a separate server machine from the hosting provider. The server will be taken care by them exclusively for your needs. You can host unlimited number of sites in your dedicated server. The various resources like RAM, bandwidth, etc will be allocated just for your sites that you are hosting under the server. The price for a dedicated server will range from $ 65 to upwards per month.
