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.

Lack of Domains

Written by Khalid Al-Khames on May 5, 2008 – 8:43 am

It is rare that I get to live a little bit of my dream and wake up to sunshine, read my e-mails with a mug of coffee and having nothing planned. No 6.30am alarm, no rate race and nothing to be worried about. This is the good life, the life I want, the life I will get.

I’ve been researching more keywords recently in an attempt to expand and dive into new areas. Spreaking to a friend yesterday on msn, I was explaining that now I’m mostly registering .net domain names as all the good .com’s are gone. This is quite a scary fact, especially because I generally build then sell sites. The web is quickly being eaten up by hungry webmasters whoring information sites with good domains in an attempt to have hundreds of high ranking web properties that provide stable revenue.

As a result, “Purple” becomes “Purrple”, “Flick” becomes “Flickr” and random names are created like “Wazoui”. Owning a good .com is certainly a worthwhile investment, even if it is two or three words (providing it is brandable). I have a few I’ll be renewing and hopefully developing this year.

Good luck with your persuits,

Khalid.
