Small Successful Business Ideas

It’s no secret that Facebook is an excellent source to make money online. With over 400 million members, the money is there for the taking. Many online marketers have come out and said that Facebook fan pages are currently the best free way to make money on the site. This is because of their viral nature. In this article, I am going to discuss an effective technique for increasing fans on your page with the intention of taking it viral.

The first time I discovered Facebook’s viral nature, I was looking at my news feed. A friend of mine had joined a pretty funny group. I clicked into the page out of casual curiosity and found out that the page had only been running for the past 24 hours, but had managed to have over 100,000 people “Like” it. I refreshed the page to see how fast its rate growth was, each time I did, at least 100 new people had joined. Over the next week, more than 1.5 million people joined that page as fans gave the owner exposure to all of their news feeds when they placed a message on the fan page.

So how do we create this incredible viral effect? The first way is to gather enough members in a short space of time. The rule I like to use is that if you can get a fan page to 20,000 people within four days then the page will go viral.

The best way to get these first 20,000 friends is to use a method which I like to call the “Rapid Movement Method”. It consists of utilizing the fans of other pages in order to help build your fan page. Look for fan pages which have similar subjects to yours and about 100,000 fans already (we want these pages so that we can tap into their growth while it’s still happening). Some fan pages will have the contact details of the admin. But if they don’t, you will need to ask them to contact you using the “Discussion tab”. This option which the majority of Facebook fan pages have gives you the opportunity to get in touch with the owner by placing a quick comment asking the administrator to contact you. When they do, you have the chance to negotiate a price for the post. If you have got it right and your topic is one which could potentially go viral, then you can expect your page to grow to a stage where you can use it to make money online.

Are you having a hard time thinking of topics to blog about? Or are you struggling to find good topics to build blogs/sites around for blog flipping? That sometimes happens and you need to use a some creativity to come up with a list of great blogging ideas. Below are five easy ways to do exactly that:

1) News headlines

No matter the subject of your blog, chances are there are a handful of headlines that would pertain to it every week. These don’t have to be breaking news alerts, but rather think about new product announcements, industry news, and even slightly related news subjects. Take a few minutes to visit bigger news portals online each morning and skim through the headlines. Not just the big national headlines, but also finance, technology, entertainment, sports, and more. Do any of these stories relate to your blogs topic? Write about it!

2) Google alerts

Google offers a fantastic alert service that will send you an email every time it comes across news, blog entries, videos and more, when they relate to a keyword (or keyword phrase) that you specify. Create Google alerts for your main keywords, long-tail keyword phrases, and even product or company names that relate to your blog topic. You may want to set up a filter or a separate email address for these alerts, or just set them up to come through once a day or once per week.

Here is a simple, straightforward and powerful site flipping strategy that you can use to make money online fairly quickly and easily…

1) Find a niche for the site

There are many different ways to do this but one good way for sites you are going to flip is to go to Clickbank.com and look at what’s selling there. Check out the top 5 or 10 products in each category to get an idea of what’s selling in many different niches. If they have a high gravity then it’s obvious they are selling well, so you could choose one to build a site around.

2) Research the keywords

I just use the Google keyword tool because it’s free, easy to use, and works well enough for me. You can use another tool if you want but there’s really no reason to. It’s totally up to you.

Look for keywords that relate to the niche you chose above in step one. For example, if you chose the weight loss niche because of how well the products are selling on Clickbank, you could use keywords such as:

weight loss tips
healthy weight loss
fast weight loss
quick weight loss
natural weight loss

And so on…

Choose maybe 10 to 20 keyword phrases that you can base your websites articles/posts around. You will also need to write the articles or hire someone to write them for you, so you can post them on the site as soon as you get it built.

3) Register your domain

Now it is time to register your domain name. I recommend Godaddy.com for that simply because most of your potential buyers will have an account there so it makes it much easier to transfer, and free.

You should always try to get a domain name with the main keywords in it. For example, using our sample keywords from above you would want to register something like weightlosstips.com it was available, but it’s not. You can also check .net and .org to get a good domain, but get a .com if you can. Anytime you can get an exact match domain for your keywords you should always do it. Only add extra words when necessary.

4) Build the site

I’m assuming you already have a web host if you are looking into site flipping, but if you don’t then I highly recommend HostGator.

I usually just use the wordpress.org free publishing platform to build the site/blog because they are popular, free, easy to install, have a lot of great plugins, simple to use, have tons of themes to choose from, and so much more. Basically they are perfect to use for building sites to flip. Plus, if you do use hostgator then you can easily install wordpress with just a few clicks of your mouse.

Once you have the site live you need to add the content that you wrote up in step two.

5) Promote the site

There are a few fairly quick and completely free things you can do to promote the site to start getting some traffic to it and maybe even make a little money from it. This is a very good thing to do before you flip it because it looks great to potential buyers and can really increase the value.

The first thing I recommend doing is to submit a few articles to directories. This is a good way to start getting traffic and building backlinks. You should write maybe 5 good quality original articles and submit them to ezinearticles.com as well as a handful of other top article directories. Be sure to put a link or two in the resource box to your site using the appropriate anchor text.

Another thing I recommend doing is social bookmarking the site and the articles you posted. This can be done quickly and easily with a social bookmarking service such as socialmarker.com or onlywire.com and both are free. How much traffic you get from this depends on a number of factors, it could be a lot or very little, but it’s definitely worth taking the time to do.

Finally, you should write at least one more article and submit it to free traffic system. This is another way to get several free backlinks and traffic for very little effort. And it will look good for your auction when you sell the site.

Of course, you can do as much marketing as you want. The more the better. But this should be sufficient to help increase the value for a site flip.

6) Build Web 2.0 support sites

Use Squidoo, Hubpages, Infobarrel, Wikidot, and others to build smaller support sites that link to your site for more backlinks and some extra traffic. This goes along with promoting the site in step five but it takes it a little further and looks even better to potential buyers. Plus, you can include some of these web 2.0 support sites in the sale if you want. Not all of them allow you to transfer to new owners but some do.

You can also create a Twitter account for the site to include in the sale. It’s pretty easy to build up a few hundred followers and it helps increase value for the auction. Every little bit helps to get the maximum amount possible when flipping your website.

7) Site maintenance

This is an optional step. If you plan to flip your website immediately then you can skip it. However, if you plan to continue to build several sites for selling at a later time then this step is important.

Monitor and maintain the site(s) to see if traffic and rankings are increasing, and if it starts to make money. If not, you can do more promoting of the site as outlined in steps five and six as well as using other internet marketing strategies. The more traffic, higher rankings, and earnings you can show the site has the more money it will be worth.

Flip it

Selling it on Flippa.com is definitely your best option but you can also sell it on Digitalpoint or eBay if you want. The amount you get for each site will vary greatly based on several factors. It’s impossible for me to tell you right now how much money you will make from each sale. It can be a lot, it can be just a little, or you might not be able to sell some of them at all.

If you really want a rough ballpark estimate, I would say you can probably get around $300 for a site you built from scratch following the steps above. But as I said, it’s hard to tell, and you will certainly get much more or much less for different site flips. Either way, it can be a great way to make money online considering the actual time and effort needed to work this simple site flipping strategy.

Very Little Time Left on a Site Flip You Can’t Miss!By admin

I’m selling a website for one of my business friends and it’s definitely something that anyone interested in buying a website needs to see. I assume you have at least some interest in site flipping since you are reading this blog right now.

The site being sold is top 10 ranked for “make money online” and hundreds of other popular keywords. It gets great traffic and earns a solid income each month. You rarely find such a great site like this being sold anywhere.

Anyway, there’s a lot I could tell you about the site but I have already written it all in the listing. So, rather than post it all here again, I will just direct you to it: http://flippa.com/auctions/101738

There’s not much time left, so hurry!

If you have any questions I will be more than happy to answer them.

Talk to you soon,
