Make Money From Home - Getting More From Your Website

If you are trying to make money from home with a website of any kind, the places you can use to attract members differ depending on which niche you have selected. If one was looking at the "Online Marketing" niche, they can use high trafficforums such as the Warrior Forum, Digital Point. This is because a substantial number of people interested in online marketing *hang around* at these web properties, they are some of the best places to look for members. Forums in other niches are a little more sensitive to advertising, so you'll need to check with the individual rules and regulations of each forum you're interested in.

 

The most common manner to use forums commercially without spamming involves first respecting the fact that others don't want to be spammed. I suggest that you signup, read a few existing posts to get the flavor of the conversations, then contribute to the ongoing conversations without leaving a signature. Just comment meaningfully.

 

After you have commented a few times, go back into your forum profile and add a sig that includes only one of your web properties. Behave like the exemplary citizen Kane by commenting and answering questions, then perhaps later, add  another web link ( if you wish to ) inside your forum signature. Your sig appears underneath every comment that you make, so twenty comments per day on 10 sites gives you 20 more ways that people can find your site and your material.

 

This isn't the only way to use forums but it is the cheapest and possibly the easiest. Remember too that you can contact the Forum owner and try to buy advertising or check if Yahoo is already being advertised on the site and go into your Google Adwords or Yahoo Search Marketing account and specifically place an ad on that site using "placements". The point is that forums are potentially a huge place to inhabit for instant traffic generation.

 

Other options include advertising with a pay per click engine like Yahoo Search marketing. This allows you to target your chosen keywords. Picking keywords consisting of just one word is typically too broad to do much good and the commercial intent of most one word keywords is far too low to be useful for a website. Try using 3 or 4 word  phrases that have low competitiveness and anywhere under 2000 monthly searches. PPC can be a stunning option because you can pretty much get feedback right away to see if your sales letter is good enough to convert.

 

Search engine optimization is also something you will want to look at rather closely. For organic search results sales pages can sometimes rank for certain phrases but more often than not content-based pages do considerably better for your desired search terms. Our advice therefore is that, you should create articles that relate to the niche of your website. Have these articles link back to your conversion page.

 

Take the opportunity to use other people's blogs as hosts for your content material. Article marketing has a fairly good record and you can get both the benefits of those who look at the article directories, and there will be times when your content is in the top 10 on the search engine result pages.

 

Free to use website builders are another great option to drive traffic to your make money from home website. Free sites such as Squidoo.com, Hubpages.com and Wordpress.com are amongst the best out there. These can be used to quickly and easily create webpages that can direct potential clients to the conversion page. You'll also get the additional benefit of getting back links to your website from sites hosting your articles.
