Think Niche Opposed to Big

I used to always think if you wanted to make money online you needed to build a big resource site.  If you take shopping I thought I would need to design some large site that encompassed everything. I was wrong.

You don’t need to build a huge web presence to make money online. In fact making money online has never been easier in my opinion. How many people are trusting enough to do business online via credit card in 2008 compared to say 2000? I don’t have the statistics but I believe it a fair assumption to say many more.

Ebay has a great affiliate program and so does Amazon and other companies of the like.  Did you know that ebay gives 50-75% of commission for anyone you refer through your site who wins an auction? Did you also know that it provides you with $25-$35 per new user signup? Build a …

Bought a Dedicated Server from The Planet

February 19, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: What I am Doing

I was looking around today for a dedicated server between taking puffs of an inhaler and drinking liquid codeine for trench throat!

First and foremost when going shopping for a dedicated server my number one advice is to bring your wallet! It’s not going to come overly cheap an if it does come overly cheap… Be wary! I found some “Dedicated Servers” that were going for ~ $39.99 a month… No thank you.

Also when shopping for a host try and get one that has been around for a while and has a low alexa rank. You want one that is tied into the industry one that isn’t going anywhere. Imagine if your host suddenly went kaput… Personally I’d rather not imagine that.

I decided to buy one from The Planet Web Hosting. They also have an affiliate program so if you decide that you want to signup for a dedicated server. …

Growing Pains - Dedicated Server Time!

February 18, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: What I am Doing

I made a post yesterday about how Entrecard and Project Wonderful combined equals a surge of traffic to your site. Yesterday I also had completed the first of hopefully many Facebook applications that will bear the Bloggeries trademark. I was going to announce it today but we’re getting timeouts all over the board so I’m currently chatting with a web host that came recommended to go dedicated server.

Going to a dedicated server is a bitter sweet experience. It’s a landmark for any site and that makes it sweet because you’re getting some serious traffic and strain on the server. The bitter part is that your hosting bill is quickly going to jump from $10-$20 a month to $100+! When I say $100+ it’s more like $135-$250 a month. I’m looking at a few plans and … What’s better to jump to 130 and do it right or …

HomeBizBlogger has Gone Run of Site

February 11, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: What I am Doing

Some of you may be wondering why I’d remove the project wonderful box after talking about it so much. Someone approached me and asked if they could rent out exclusive advertising for two months. As of now this is just a hobby of mine more of an autotelic activity so I figured why not?

 What is Run of the Site?:  Run of Site is when an advertiser purchases all the ad spots. In this case it’s a sitewide, button on the side, another banner to come etc… It’s common in other types of industries but less in Make Money Online / Business opportunities but I’m a different kind of guy so we’ll see.

In two months from now I’ll replace my ads but we’ll do this little Run of Site test and see how it works. Some would say you can make more doing individually and that may be possible …
