Step 5 – Making Your Site Profitable (optional)

If you are short of cash and need money ASAP, then you probably won’t have time to do this. Profitable sites sell for a lot more then sites that are not profitable.

If your site is….

A) Getting a steady flow of free and quality traffic
B) Is making money with Adsense or affiliate programs
C) Has a good search engine ranking
D) Has a good Google PR

You could easily sell a small content site for upwards of $1000. You can do all the manual work of creating your site in one day, wait a few months to get the above qualities for your site and then sell it. Imagine if you worked for 30 days on this business model.

For one month, everyday you created a content site like I mentioned above. The total cost would be $300. You then let them sit and get traffic and income and within six months you could easily have $30,000 to your name. It really is that simple.

You will have to excuse me here, I get very excited, because I know how easy it really is to do this.

If your content site is

*Earning $100 a month via Adsense
*Has 1 or 2 top 10 rankings in Google and MSN for its main keyword or keywords
*Getting a steady trickle of unique visitors daily, not many but a steady trickle
*A PR3 or PR4 or above

You can sell that site for $1000 easily. If not more. Of course, if your site has 100+ articles you could sell that site for $2000 ++++

So how do you get your site to be profitable? Simple.

The first thing you do is you submit your site to Google and MSN manually via their submit a site page. I know people say don’t do this, but I recommend it as it works. It took 3 weeks for my new site at the time to get a top 10 listing in MSN for it’s main (and very competitive) keyword. All I did was submit the site manually.

The next thing to do if you want to spend money is to go to

forums.digitalpoint.com

and go to their services page. You will find a section on there where you can buy links from other sites. You can buy high PR backlinks to your site for under $10 a month.

Make sure when you buy backlinks to your site that you buy from sites that are related to yours. I created a soccer site before the world cup and I brought a few PR5 backlinks from this forum and it really made a big difference to my PR and my rankings.

You will want to then write a few articles and submit them to Ezinearticles.com and any other directory with a good PR. This is a simple step and one you really should do.

Then you need to go to forums related to your content site and post in their and put your site in your sig file. If you need to find forums go to….

This will really get your site rocking. You can use just about any advertising technique you know of as long as it’s legal and won’t hurt your Google and MSN rankings. Stumbleupon each page of your site too!

People do not want to buy sites like this that they have to pay advertising for to get traffic. They want these sites to be getting a steady flow of free traffic, mainly from organic search engine results.
