Three Ways to Make Money Online without a Website

Despite what some people may say there are plenty of opportunities for people too make money online without ever having to own a website. There are of course more opportunities if you own your own website, but if you don’t want to have to worry about hosting and domain costs then you can still do some things to make an online income. Thousands of people currently make thousands per month on the internet and none of them own a website, and we’re going to take a look at three things you could do to join this group of people.

Offer a service or product

If you have a service or product then you can make a lot money selling either on forums. For instance if you can write or design websites then you can use webmaster forums to find clients for your services. If you own a book then you can sell your product on classified websites and also forums. You may generate more sales if you own a website, but it’s not at all necessary if you don’t want to. Typically you’ll have more luck earning steady income offering a service rather then selling a product, but it also requires that you have a strong work ethic.

Complete online surveys

I’ve seen countless websites that pay people to complete online surveys for money and you could earn yourself a decent part-time income completing this type of work. Some of the websites are scams and you should avoid any website that asks for money. There are plenty of websites that don’t ask for money though and these are the legit services. Many people currently are making a couple hundred extra bucks a month through services such as this and it’s a great income to add to your arsenal. It’s very relaxing to complete surveys and you make money doing it so there is no reason not to really.

Sell on Ebay

The biggest money maker for people without websites is by far Ebay and you could earn an unlimited amount of money on this website depending on how hard you work. You can sell basically anything on Ebay so as long as you’re turning a profit then it’s a good product to sell on Ebay. Don’t just jump into Ebay and start trying to sell any item as it won’t earn you much. You need to research the market and see what’s becoming more popular and has little competition. Many products have lots of competition so you don’t want to try selling these when you’re starting out. Look for low competition items that will turn you a profit and work on establishing sales for those.

As you can see there are plenty of ways for you to make money online without a website, and the other thing in common between the three is that to succeed you’ll need to work hard. There is no easy road for people who work online and despite the stories you hear on the television you’ll be required to work long hard hours if you plan on making a living from the internet.

The Importance of choosing the right WordPress Theme

The Importance of choosing the right WordPress Theme

Once you have set-up your WordPress blog one of the first things everyone does is chooses the theme for their blog. You don’t need to keep the same theme and can change it anytime you would like. In the beginning when your blog is new I would just use a free wordpress theme that is related to your niche. There are hundreds of different free wordpress themes out there that you can use and many of them are very well done with great graphics.

As your blog starts to get older you’ll need to determine whether or not you want to keep using the free wordpress themes or if you want to adapt a custom wordpress theme to your blog. Normally what will determine this is whether or not your blog has any traffic or revenue. If you have traffic and are making some money off of your blog then I would recommend getting a custom wordpress made for your blog. Once you have a custom wordpress theme it’s like jumping up the ladder in blogging and makes you almost like royalty. Most readers will stay on custom theme blogs longer than other blogs as well because when you use a free wordpress theme people see those everywhere, but when you adapt a custom theme your readers will have never seen any blog like yours before.

WordPress themes have come down in price over the past couple years and you can get a great custom wordpress theme for under $200. This isn’t a small investment for a blog that isn’t making money and isn’t a very wise investment either. If you have traffic on your blog though, and making some money off your blog then spending $200 won’t seem nearly as bad. It should also help increase your traffic and revenue so it’s a wise investment in some situations. Make sure you have established traffic and revenue before spending money on any theme though, this is because a lot of blogs will never make any money. The last thing you want to do is spend a couple hundred on your blog and it never make any money.

If you look around the blogosphere you’ll notice that most of the established and authority blogs all have custom themes that look amazing and unique. It helps to retain traffic and also assists in increasing your return visitor traffic. If you’re a designer and coder then you can most likely make your own wordpress theme and if you can do this then you should definitely do it for all of your blogs. You don’t need to wait for traffic and revenue if you can do the work on your own time because it isn’t costing you any money.

When you decide to implement your own custom wordpress theme to your blog make sure that it stands out and is unique. You don’t want to spend money on a theme that looks similar to another theme because that defeats the purpose. The purpose of a custom theme is to stand out to your readers and to retain the traffic you build to your blog. Try to add some new features to your theme that you can’t find on other blogs or try changing the layout of the conventional style and making your own style. Always make sure that you use a custom logo or mascot for your theme as well because this will help brand your blog, especially a mascot.

As you can see the importance of your wordpress theme is very important and there are many reasons you should be considering when choosing a theme. If you’re choosing your theme for looks only then you aren’t doing enough. You need to think about how many people are doing that as well, because many do and end up with the same free wordpress themes. If your blog can afford to invest some money into it then I would first spend it on a custom wordpress theme.

A custom wordpress theme will also help you sell your blog if you ever decide to sell it in the future, and you’ll be able to fetch top dollar for your blog. So your themes is more of an investment then anything else, but if money is tight then wait until your blog is making money before spending money on a custom theme. If you’re using free wordpress themes then you should consider switching your theme every month or so, this is so that your readers don’t get bored of the same theme. You should try switching your theme with a newly released free theme each month as then your visitors will be less likely to have already seen the theme.

Why Internet Marketing Software is Worth the Investment

Why Internet Marketing Software is Worth the Investment

As a webmaster there are always new opportunities to purchase software that makes our lives a lot easier, and we need to determine if it’s worth the investment. There are many tools that either aren’t worth it or do the same as other tools and these ones you shouldn’t buy, but you should have a tool for all marketing aspects. There are usually three to five products in each category so you’ll need to determine which one to buy, but I do recommend having a tool for each marketing strategy.

Some of the tools you should purchase immediately are a social bookmarking tool and article submission tool. You’ll be able to use these two tools to automate link building and traffic generation. There are also some other tools that you can use to help marketing your website and you should use them to assist you. These tools will cost anywhere from $50-$200 and although it seems like a lot you’ll notice soon why you should invest in these tools.

Typically you’ll save about two to three hours per run on a automation marketing tool which means if you used each of the two tools above once a day you would save anywhere from four to six hours. Now in this four to six hour span everyday that you’ve just saved by using the tools above you can use it to increase your revenue. It’s very simple to make a couple hundred bucks within a week by spending six hours a day doing something.

So basically what I’m saying is that you’ll be able to make your money back that you invest on the tools within only a couple weeks. Now you can use the money you made back to purchase more automation and marketing tools that help increase your revenue. If you don’t already spend time on these marketing strategies then it may take a bit longer to make the money back, but nonetheless you will make your money back.

Once you choose to work smarter instead of working harder you’ll notice your daily life become a lot less stressful and busy. You won’t need to spend hours marketing your site each day anymore, and you’ll have more time to increase your revenues and spend time with your family. The number one reason people choose to work online is to spend more time with there family, now if you’re marketing your websites all day the time you have leftover to spend with your family is limited. If you automate your marketing with software tools then you’ll have hours each day to do as you wish.

The initial investment is always worth internet marketing tools nowadays due to the low pricing. The goal of the owners of the programs is to sell to the masses which is why they keep the prices reasonable. You should go out and get your marketing tools today and begin making your life easier and less hectic.
