Building Building Building
My apologies for a lack of updates recently, I’ve been working hard building new content sites. In an attempt to build solid backlinks, I have opted to spend heavily on WordPress theme sponsorship and try my hand at submitting articles to major directories.
These methods do work as many successful website owners recommend either to build backlinks and I have some personal experience with WordPress theme sponsorship.
The sites I am building are small content micro-sites. I own 97 domain names at present and I have decided I need to do something with them! I am really bad at buying names then never using them, so I’m actively turning this around and hopefully going to increase my earnings at the same time.
Although building micro-sites is relatively cheap, don’t think building a GOOD micro-site is! Here’s a breakdown of my costs…
- .com $10
- hosting inclusive in my VPS at ($60 per month)
- 4 unique 500 word (approx) articles $30
- 2 unique articles to submit to eZineArticles directory $15
- 1 WordPress theme sponsorship $40
- Total: $95 (excluding hosting costs)
If this site was to make $1 per day, a $270 profit would be drawn from it every year. Where else in the business World can you make a 284% return without any major risks?
Althought I have 97 domains, not all of them are suitable to become a micro-site and not all will become profitable when created. Some will be used for larger sites whilst others will be deemed useless and not renewed.
Hopefully the hard work will pay off. My buddy Bob recently turned $50 into $1 per day, read about it here.
Good luck with your persuits,
Khalid.
