How to Set Up an Advertising Website

Preparing Your Website for Advertising
1. Design a visually appealing website that is easy to navigate. Place advertisements above the fold, meaning visitors shouldn't have to scroll down to view the ads. Remove any unattractive images or widgets to make room for the ads.
2. Analyze your traffic. Advertisers may not want to pay to be exposed to your traffic if it's too low, so give your website time to get regular visitors that will appeal to advertisers.

3. Target a specific audience. If you write a blog for moms, make sure all posts relate to topics moms are interested in. Don't deviate from your audience just to make a fast buck. Advertisers will appreciate your laser focus.
Set up Advertising
4. Choose an ad networks if you aren't very technical or if you have low traffic. With networks, someone else does all the hard work for you, and you simply paste the ad code into the code on your website. They will track visits and pay you based on clicks. The drawback is ad networks don't pay much.
5. Work directly with advertisers to secure advertising packages for several months or years at a time. This option can be lucrative if your website is popular. Decide how much you want to charge and what size ad your advertisers will receive for that amount.
6. Sign up to be an affiliate for sites like Amazon or other commerce sites related to your website content. If someone clicks your affiliate links and buys something from that site, you will receive a percent of the sale.
Show Your Worth
7. Post an Advertise with Us page on your site if you are working directly with advertisers. Write a few paragraphs about your demographic statistics. The more information you can provide, the better.
8. Create a media kit listing your ad options and rates. Many companies don't like to list their advertising rates directly on their website, as competitors can see them.
9. Add a contact form to the website and email the media kit to interested advertisers.

How to Stop Typo Squatters

1. Alert the users of your website to the typosquatting problem you are having. Display a message on your home page that tells your users about typosquatters. Encourage them to ensure they are typing the correct address in the address bar before they hit 'Enter.'
2. Purchase the domain names of variants of your web address before typo squatters do. Think of common misspellings of your web address. For example, if your web address has 'ie' in it, purchase a domain name that uses 'ei' as well.

3. Submit a formal complaint to Google (see Resources) if the typo squatter's website has Google Ads on it. Google will remove ads from typo squatters' sites.
4. Submit a complaint to an Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers approved dispute-resolution service provider (see Resources).
5. Hire a lawyer to help you sue the typo squatter(s) under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.

How to Make Money Online Writing Poetry

1. Populate your poetry blog or website with advertising. Services such as Google Adsense will provide you with ads and a portion of the revenue when each ad is clicked. Online retailers such as Amazon.com will pay you a portion of the revenue from goods sold to a user who has clicked an ad on your site. Drive traffic to your pages by maintaining an active online presence, adding new poetry to your blog or website on a regular basis and promoting your work on social networking sites.
2. Solicit website advertising from local businesses for a flat fee. Gain a local following by participating in spoken word events and poetry jams. Promote your site by gathering names for an email list, sending out regular newsletters and tracking the number of visits to your site. Once you can demonstrate your online poetry has an audience, approach local businesses such as small bookstores to pay a monthly fee to have an ad on your site.

3. Publish pieces of poetry on revenue-share websites. These sites include Hubpages and Squidoo, which pay writers a portion of the revenue earned from each post. Depending on which revenue-sharing site you choose, you may have to place your poetry within the context of an article or otherwise tailor your work to the demands of the platform.
4. Submit your poetry to online magazines, also called zines. If your work is accepted for publication you may receive payment depending on the editorial policy of each zine. Many zines also run poetry and fiction contests, which may require an entry fee but offer a sizable prize to the winning entry.
5. Submit your poetry electronically for publication in print magazines and journals. Your poetry may not end up online through this method, but if it ends up in print you'll have used your online savvy to reach the publishers willing to pay you for your product.

How to Earn Money Blogging

1. Sign up for advertising sites like Google AdSense, Chitika or Kontera to add advertising links to your blog. When one of your readers clicks on the link, money is paid into your account. Never click on your own links.
2. Sign up for affiliate marketing websites like Linkshare, ClickBank, Shareasale and Google Affiliate Network. You'll need an established blog with several blog posts to qualify for most affiliate partnerships. Whenever someone clicks an affiliate link on your website and purchases a product from your affiliate partner, you receive a commission.

3. Sell advertising spots on your blog to companies. Once you have incoming traffic and growing popularity, approach companies that fit with your blog topic. Offer advertising space on your website for a specific monthly price. This type of advertising differs from a program like Google AdSense, which only pays when someone clicks. Selling ad revenue guarantees monthly income.
4. Turn your blog into an e-book. Companies such as Amazon, Apple and Smashwords allow authors to self-publish their work on their electronic platforms. Assemble your blog content into an e-book using their formatting guidelines. Advertise your e-book to your blog traffic and on your social media networks to generate sales.
5. Sell your own products on your blog. Technology bloggers may want to sell WordPress templates or their own programming applications. Sell your expertise using a membership site. Fashion bloggers with craft experience can create crafts, jewelry and clothing to sell. Figure out what your skills are and sell them on your website.

How to Start an Online Ebook Business

Planning an eBook
1. Use a mix of creativity and business smarts and create an eBook that people would want to read. Use keyword search tools to find out exactly what subjects people search for online.
2. Choose at least 20 subjects that are the most marketable and typically get at least 30,000 to 50,000 hits a day. Whittle the list to a few by using the criteria of uniqueness and whether the topics are saturated on the Internet.

3. Sign up for Google AdSense. Create a one-page website with a survey asking what people think of your eBook idea or what they may want to see. Google AdSense helps bring traffic to your survey site by placing ads on the page that pertain to your website topic. Eventually, you will use this to get visitors to your eBook site.
Creating the eBook
4. Study the data on your survey after just a few days and start to create your eBook using any word-processing program. Keep the book under 40 pages and on topic to keywords you researched earlier.
5. Hire a ghostwriter after writing a few of your own eBooks and selling them independently through eBay or your website. Once you start turning healthy profits, it is best to have other people do the writing. Then you can focus on the marketing aspects, which will take most of your time.
6. Look for bargain ghostwriters and general content producers through outsourcing sites such as RentACoder. You can advertise your eBook project there and get bids from freelance writers.
7. Request use of SEO, or search engine optimization, in your eBooks. This means your eBooks contain keywords that enable the books to place high on search engines such as Google.
Marketing
8. Start selling your eBooks on your website using Google AdSense. If you paid attention to trends and start offering multiple eBooks on a weekly basis, you could be selling many of these and turning in big profits. Website design can be simple.
9. Set up commerce on your website using PayPal so customers can buy and download your eBooks.
10. Market your eBooks through methods other than relying exclusively on SEO and AdSense. Use mass email marketing to certain groups you know would be interested.
11. Visit forums on the net that pertain to the subject of your eBook. Leave a link to your website in one of them and your site likely will receive visitors within days if not hours.
12. Find blogs on the net that write about the subjects of your eBooks. Ask the bloggers to review your eBook or start your own blog if you can find time to write regularly. Buy an ad on a blog that is not yours but relates to the topic of your eBook.

How to Make an Internet Magazine

1. Create a concept for your Internet magazine, and be as specific as possible. If you want to create a fiction magazine, decide on a genre and a focus. For example, you might decide to run a romance magazine focusing on vampire romance. Nonfiction magazines should be even more specific: a magazine focusing on tools for beading jewelry crafters, for instance. Sharply focused magazines are easier to run and market.
2. Choose a title, and at the same time, buy a domain name. Don't agonize over 'the perfect' domain name; just pick something close to the title of your magazine. The vampire romance zine above, for instance, could be www.love-bytes.com or www.dark-love.com.

3. Choose a commercial (not free) web host that offers unlimited storage and bandwidth and that has received excellent reviews. Your website should have, at minimum, a cover page home page, a table of contents linked to stories and an archive section. Many online magazines also run forums for writers and readers, and some also offer an email version of their magazine that readers can subscribe to. You may not know everything you will want to do with your ezine yet, so try to keep your options open.
4. Decide how you're going to monetize your magazine. Even if you're just running your zine for love, it's smart to try to turn enough profit to offset expenses and maybe even pay your writers a little bit. The simplest and surest way to make money from your magazine is by running advertisements provided by Google's Adsense program and by signing up to do affiliate sales for Amazon.
5. Create your website template and the logo for your website. Keep it simple for your first launch: home page, story/article pages, advertising slots, a table of contents.Develop a writer's contract. Writers will need to assign you electronic rights to publish their stories, and you will need to inform them of exactly how long their stories will remain electronically available, as well as what your future plans for their stories are. You will also need a page outlining submission guidelines. The easiest way to develop both these documents is by visiting online magazines that are similar to yours and using their guidelines and contract as samples.
6. Advertise for submissions to your magazine. Post advertisements at writers' websites and on Craig's List. If you offer to pay for published stories, you are likely to be swamped with submissions. Give yourself plenty of time (ideally, about six months) between requesting submissions and launching your first issue, as it will take time to wade through manuscripts.Before you're ready to launch your magazine, you should have enough submissions lined up to fill two magazine issues. Generate, acquire or find graphics for your magazine, as well.
7. Once your first magazine is in place and you have user-tested it to ensure your links work, you're ready to launch. Have a marketing plan in place so you'll have good traffic from the very beginning. Advertise using Adsense or Yahoo! ads (many web hosts give away a limited amount of these when you first sign up), and create a Facebook page so you can advertise there, as well. If you have any famous writers publishing in this issue, write and distribute a press release to the appropriate industry media. Put up fliers in your local bookstores and libraries. Ask friends and family to advertise your ezine, and ask writers in the issue to advertise, as well.Then start preparing your next edition.
