I was going to title this article "Make money online" but that was not really original. However, this is what it is about... make money online!
But the idea here is to build a stable and long-term revenue, not just work to make a quick buck. This is a bit of my experimentations in the last months, building sites and working with online communities.

Introduction

Domain names are worth money. A well indexed domain, with a minimum of content and a small design, even with no traffic, can be worth up to $500. The older the better.

So by building a small network of clean and well optimized sites, you are building a stable and long-term income. The investment to start such a network is minimum. The most important thing you need is patience...

So here is the plan, that I will detail later on:
1. Choose a niche.
2. Find and buy about 10 domain names.
3. Write and/or buy content.
4. Make a small design template per domain.
5. Interlink your domains and get external backlinks.
6. Place advertising.
7. Forget about it.

1. Choose a niche

Select a topic that you like and know about. But also think about the monetization of that topic, you must choose one that has a minimum of interest for potential advertisers. And the demand is obviously higher for sites about gambling, pharmacy, insurances, adult, etc...

2. Find and buy about 10 domain names

Get some good names, related to your topic. Preferably .com/.net/.org
GoDaddy is a good place to register your domains and get some ideas using their name generator. You can even find some coupons to get a good discount.

3. Write and/or buy content

Write at least 10 original articles per site, with a minimum of 500 words per article.
If your budget allows it, you can buy them from articles writers. A 500 words article can cost you from $7 to $40 depending the reputation of the writer and the quality you are looking for.

From your main topic, you can have some articles or even some of your domains dedicated to a sub-topic or a related topic, as far as you remain in the same context.

You can also add some video content from sites like YouTube, DailyMotion, etc... and RSS feeds from popular news sites or blogs to add more fresh content.

4. Make a small design template per domain

Create one simple design per domain. You can buy a small header design if you want to give them a professional look.

Sites can be pretty simple and get the look of a blog, small content site, news portal, etc...

Make sure to have a clean HTML code and optimize your pages for the most important keywords of your topic.

5. Interlink your domains and get external backlinks

Link your domains between each others in a clever way. It's better if the domains you point to don't link back to the first domain. Use different anchor texts for the links.

Exchange links with webmasters who have sites covering the same topics, add your sites to small directories and top sites.

You can also purchase text links ads to accelarate your rankings.

6. Place advertising

Insert ads boxes to your pages. ExoClick.com is providing text+images ads boxes that you can integrate perfectly in your sites.

Depending on the niche, you could also use programs like AdSense.

7. Forget about it

Now forget about the site for at least 1 month. Just make sure they are getting indexed properly and nothing block the spiders to fetch your content.

Once a month, spend 1 day to add some content and get more external backlinks.

Results

After a few months, your sites should have a pretty good indexation and the PageRank should be updated.

If you did a good job, each domain should get at least 100 uniques/day, that's about 1,000 uniques visitors on your Network. Depending on the niche you selected and the ads placement, this can already generate a good revenue.

The PageRank on your sites should be between 2 to 5 and additionaly to your PPC revenue, you can now start to sell text links at the bottom of your pages and generate an extra revenue.

Your sites are now worth between $50 to $300 each, or more, depending how successful is your work and you could even sell them to "impatient" webmasters, who want domains out of Google sandbox and with good backlinks.

But if you keep them and take good care of them, it's like old wine. Its value will raise month after month.

Online Communities

At every step, you can rely on online communities such as DigitalPoint, V7N or NamePros, which can be very useful to get help, find article writers, designers, buy and sell domains, etc...

I hope you liked this article and it gave you ideas to increase your earnings online! If you make some experiments, please let me know about them. Good luck!
