How to Make a Profitable Mini Site





1.

Decide what niche or product you'd like to make money with. You can have a physical product of your own, or you can just make a clickbank account. If you don't have a clickbank account, just visit clickbank.com. It's free to set up and use, and they pay via paypal! For the sake of this article, we'll say we chose 'Learn To Play Guitar'.
2. Create your mini site. In google, once signed in to your account, click 'sites'. From this point with google it is pretty self-explanatory. Their templates are fantastically easy to use. Just write a good article about your product or your niche, add some reviews, add some great pictures pertaining to it, add testimonials if you have any and then link to your clickbank product or to your own product's site [if you have one]. To give credit where credit is due, I strongly recommend you also try viviti.com to set up free mini sites. Google will not allow you to put a paypal link on your site, and viviti will. With clickbank products, this doesn't really matter, but it's good to have if you need it. Viviti is very paypal friendly, and even has a widget to help you make a 'buy it now' or 'donate' button with paypal. Both sites also allow adsense to be used on your mini sites, with is great to add extra revenue. Just having adsense on your site will make you money as long as you get traffic flowing in!

3.

Backlink and bring in traffic. Now that you have your mini site set up and looking pretty, you need visitors. The more visitors you have, the better chance you have at getting SALES. Backlink to your site by visiting blogs, articles and other sites related to your product or niche where you can leave open comments. Leave comments that compliment the writer of the blog or article, or compliment the usefulness of the site. Leave ideas and issues for others to comment on, then leave a link to your mini site stating 'check this out for more resources' or anything along those lines in your words. Make articles on other free sites such as hubpages.com and squidoo.com. Write about your product or niche, and leave behind more links to your mini site. Next bookmark your site on a massive scale! I suggest trying onlywire.com or socialmarking.viviti.com. I use onlywire and socialmarking.viviti.comto automatically bookmark my sites to the top 20 social sites like de.lici.os, Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Jumptags, just to name a few. There are MANY more sites you can add to your onlywire account, then just click ONE button and it will bookmark your site to all of the ones you've chosen!
4. Upkeep! Now you're set up with a profitable mini site! Use trial and error. Adjust your settings, pictures and wording. Make several mini sites. They can all be the same product or niche, or totally different ones. I suggest bookmarking your sites daily using onlywire, but no less than 2-3 times per week. Keep writing new articles on Hubpages and Squidoo, adding new content and always linking back to your mini site! Track your Adsense account, as you might be suprised with it too! Keep that traffic coming, have some patience, and within a few months you'll be reaping the reward of your hard work!

How to Build a Free Website





1. Locate a free website hosting company on the Internet. Take the time to read and compare services from different providers. Wordpress is a wonderful host for creating a personal website to share with friends and family (see Resources below). It is easy to use and has a variety of templates for you to use. You can easily add pages to your main page and it looks great. You can't, however, place adsense or commercial products on these free sites.
2. Consider Squidoo if you wish to promote your work on the Web or want to feature commercial products (see Resources below). Squidoo will provide you with adsense, which enables you to earn money according to the number of people who click on your adsense ads or make purchases through those ads, and access to Amazon and eBay auctions, again allowing you to earn money if others purchase the items through your link. You are allowed to add links anywhere you wish and you can advertise commercial products. The templates feature a number of modules that you can arrange in any order you choose. The downside is that a Squidoo site contains all information on one long page that readers must scroll to read. Sign-up is quick and easy and does not require a credit card or incur any fees.

3. Check out Bravenet for another host that allows commercial endeavors and is easy to use (see Resources below). You can create multiple pages that can be accessed from the main page. Bravenet offers a variety of ad-ons like adsense and access to commercial products. Signup for this site is completely free; however, you can purchase a service that provides more options, if you choose.
4. Consider blogging sites if you just want to communicate with the world. These range from social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook to a wide variety of other blogging communities (see Resources below). These sites provide templates, so creating the look and feel you want is fairly easy. Both sites provide easy access to groups and make it easy to keep in contact with large groups of people. Most also have the added feature of creating either a public or private blog to limit access to those who you personally invite. Sign-up for their services is generally quick and easy and is free.
5. Be sure the host you choose meets your individual needs and always follow the guidelines for that particular host. If commercial use is prohibited, trying to run a commercial site will only get you banned from their service. Read the user agreement thoroughly and review other sites hosted by them prior to choosing a host.

How to Submit My Articles to a Google Group





Submit an Article to a Google Group
1. Go to www.google.com.
2. Click on 'More.' When the popup box appears, slide your pointer over to 'Groups' and click. You will see a 'Search Groups' button at the top of the screen, 'Search for a Group' button in the middle of the screen and a 'Start a group' form at the bottom left of the screen.

3. As a first measure, in the 'Search Groups' form, perform a search for 'article' and whatever keyword is important to you. For example, 'article widget' should turn up a list of all groups that allow postings of articles on widgets or that contain posts with both of the words 'article' and 'widget' within them.
4. Another keyword search you can perform is 'reprint article.' Search for 'reprint article' and your specific keyword topic. You can also search for specific groups. Some popular Google Groups that allow writers and marketers to post articles are Reprint Articles for Ezines and Websites, Free-Reprint-Articles, and free-article-content.
5. If you know a specific group that accepts article submissions, go ahead and perform a search for that group. Go back to the Google Groups search page and, in the 'Search for a group' form, type in the name of the group you want to find. For example, if I want to find Free-Reprint-Articles, then I'll type that name into the search box and scroll down until I find the group I'm looking for.
6. You will likely not be able to distribute articles through a Google Group until you join that Group. Click on the title of the group that you want to join.
7. Click on 'Join this group.' You will get a screen with a sign in form on one side and a 'New to Google Group?' prompt on the other. If you are not a member of Google Groups, you'll have to join Google Groups before you can join any specific group.
8. Join Google Groups and follow the directions. Then join the specific group you want to join. Be sure to read the FAQs and rules of the group before submitting articles. When ready, post a message.
9. One more way that you can find a group where you can post your articles is to browse the Google Groups categories. To do this, go back to the main Google Groups search page.
10. Click on the 'Browse group categories' link.
11. You can search by topic, region, language, activity level and number of members. Click on a link and keep narrowing your focus until you find a group that is suitable for your interests.
Create a Google Group
12. Another way you can distribute your articles through Google Groups is to create a group. This allows you to moderate a group and to set the rules and guidelines for posting to your group. You can allow other people with similar interests to post their articles to your group or close it so that people can join and read but can't post unless given the proper privileges.
13. Back at the main Google Groups search page, go to the 'Start a group' form and fill it in.
14. Give your group a name that will accurately portray the nature of your group and the audience you are seeking.
15. Add an e-mail address so that you can receive messages through the group.
16. If you already have a mailing list that you want to add, type in the e-mail addresses of your list members.
17. Complete the process by clicking on 'Create' and following the directions.
18. You can begin posting your articles after you have set your moderator preferences, which either allows others to post to your group or simply read and enjoy.

How to Insert a Line After Each Blog Post on WordPress

3. Add code similar to the following:margin-bottom: 15px;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;The first line indicates how much space to place between the bottom line of your post's text and the horizontal line. The second line specifies the width, style and color of the line.

How to Make Money Tweeting





Advertising and Promotion
1. Create a website selling a product or service you can offer. For example, if you make crafts, take pictures of your crafts and post it on a website.
2. Create an account with a service that accepts credit card payments, like PayPal.

3. Include a sales page, or link to a sales page like eBay, and make it prominent on your website.
4. Tweet about your crafts with links to your sales page.
Website Advertising
5. Sign up for a service that offers pay-per-view or pay-per-click advertising like Google AdSense.
6. Place the ads on your website. Create interesting pages with articles, pictures or videos that people will want to share. Add new pages on a regular basis.
7. Post links to your website on Twitter.
Selling Your Twitter Expertise
8. Contact local businesses you believe would benefit from having a presence on Twitter. Familiarize yourself with their business needs. For example, a restaurant or retail store generally thrives on customers coming through their doors. Other businesses may benefit from visits to their website.
9. Create a business proposal to manage a Twitter account on their behalf. Agree on a weekly or monthly fee for your services.
10. Create a Twitter account for the business, start following others and begin tweeting on their behalf.
11. Use the Twitter search function to identify potential customers for your client. Reply to their questions with helpful advice. For example, if your client is a paint store, you would look for anyone tweeting about painting or renovating in your client's city, then suggest that they come by the store.
Things to Remember
12. Use Twitter on a regular basis. While it is not as important to have many followers as it is to have a solid base of devoted followers, you should be trying to get more followers on a regular basis. Follow and interact with people who look like they will be helpful for your business.
13. Tweet interesting links, and interact with others on a daily basis. There is little that turns people off faster than posting only links to a sales page.
14. Keep your integrity by being honest about the links you tweet. If you are tweeting links to affiliate sales websites, for example, include this fact in each tweet. This is also important if you plan to become a Twitter consultant for another business. The business will want to see your Twitter account and what others say about you. It only takes one person to announce publicly that they are unfollowing you for spam to ruin your reputation.
