What is eBay.com?

eBay is the most popular website to buy and sell goods on the internet. It’s a place where individuals and businesses can buy or sell new or second-hand items, from books and clothes to cars to almost anything.

Here’s how eBay works:
A seller lists an item on eBay, almost anything from antiques to mobile phones, books to sporting goods.
The seller chooses whether to sell the item at a fixed price or accept only bids (auction-type listing).
In an auction-type listing, the bidding opens at a price the seller specifies and remains on eBay for a certain number of days.
Buyers then place bids on the item. When the listing ends, the buyer with the highest bid wins.
In a fixed price listing, the first buyer willing to pay the seller’s price gets the item.
Suitable For –
People who are self-motivated and know how to spread the word – to friends, family members, acquaintances and strangers using online or offline mediums.

Tips –

1. If you are entirely new to eBay and your account does not have any feedback, then getting some feedback before starting to sell anything is a good practice. People are very wary of buying anything online nowadays, so if your account has 0 feedback, then no one’s is going to buy anything from you. It’s recommended that you should get at least 10-15 feedbacks before selling anything. The simplest way to get feedbacks is to buy 10-15 $0.99 items with free shipping. Many sellers leave a positive feedback to you straight away when you make payment.

2. Start small – Most of the eBay resellers buy a bulk wholesale stock of any particular product then sell it on eBay at a retail price.

If you don’t have money to buy a wholesale stock, then find out unwanted items present in your house which are in good condition and make a list of them.

3. Research – Now, as you have a list of few ready to sell items, you must ensure that there is a market for them.

Take 10 minutes to Google your item and uncover its actual market value on eBay and another bunch of e-commerce sites.

This will help you to sell the right items more competitively because you’ll have the knowledge of your item’s market and its pricing strategies.

Also, dig out relevant, targeted keywords which will help people to find your items via Google search engine.

4. Craft the title – Title is the most critical factor for grabbing the attention of your potential buyer.

Make sure your title is appealing, complete and you’ve included targeted keywords.

You don’t have to be a tech wizard for this. Just ask yourself, what would a potential buyer for this item type into the search box?

5. Write item’s description – Fill out all the fields in your listing, and make sure your textual description is providing all the information that your potential buyer might look for.

Most of the lazy sellers ignore this and fail badly at selling anything on eBay.

6. Upload item’s pictures – Upload only high-quality images. Ensure that item’s pictures are new, transparent (not blurry) and cover the product from all angles.

Also, don’t restrict yourselves to 2-3 pictures upload at least 6 pictures.

7. Timing – Most of the expert sellers use 10-day listing starting on Thursday, you should use it too, it will give you two full weekends of eyeballs. You’ll usually receive the highest traffic on weekends.”

How To Monetize –

Monetization is very simple. More people place orders with you, the more money you make. Your item quality and delivery influence your user feedback which directly affects your order placement. So make sure you are delivering items with good quality. eBay handles all your transactions securely, so you don’t need to worry about any payment processing issues.

5. send people to Amazon – One of the great things about Amazon is that it is very good at converting visitors into buyers.

You don’t need to follow them nor target them with ads; Amazon will do the rest for you.

All you need to do is send them to Amazon.com through your affiliate link.

The great thing about this is when somebody visits Amazon.com through your link; you get a percentage of anything they buy for the next 24 hours (30 days if they added an item to their cart).

E.g., If one person clicks on your “Yoga Mat” affiliate link and visits Amazon.com and buys 2 wristwatches instead of a Yoga Mat within 24 hours, you’ll get commissions for the wristwatch sales even if you didn’t promote it directly.

6. Build loyalty and trust – One major factor that will boost your sales is your reader’s’ loyalty and trust towards you and your website.

Most of your sales will come from people who are loyal and repeat readers.

Readers who connect with you regularly will begin to trust you and your website over a long period.

So when you make any recommendation or do a review, they are more likely to take that advice than someone they don’t trust.

How To Monetize –

The monetization formula is almost similar to most of the other methods discussed in this app.

More people visit Amazon.com via your affiliate link and buy products, the more money you make.

Amazon.com will handle all the payment and commission processing for you, so you don’t need to worry about it.

Make Money – Do CPA Marketing

What is CPA?

CPA stands for “Cost Per Action.” CPA is one of the popular ways of making money on the internet. CPA marketing is straightforward: you get paid when someone clicks on your affiliate link and completes an action.

That action could be:

• Providing an email address
• Signing up for a free trial of a product
• Downloading a mobile app
• Requesting a quote
• CPA is easier because you’ll earn money even if a product is not sold.

Unlike affiliate marketing, where somebody must purchase a product for you to receive commissions.

CPA model works on lead generation. Many big companies are willing to pay hefty commissions for generating targeted leads.

Your job is to get them a lead; they will do the rest of the work for generating a sale from those leads.

Suitable For –

1. People who love to talk, write, explain, and can persuade.
2. Best for people who already own a blog or website with some daily traffic.

Skills Required –

1. Ability to promote CPA affiliate links using social media, videos, forum marketing, paid ads, etc.
2. Ability to persuade and convince people through the right argument and explanation.

Time Required For Starting CPA Marketing –
To start CPA marketing and earn commissions, you need to find an offer to promote, then get accepted by a CPA network.

You can find an offer almost instantly, but getting accepted into a CPA network might take a week.

But, once accepted, you can instantly start promoting an offer of your wish.

Tips –

1. Find different offers – Your first step here will be to find different CPA offers available in the market.

And the best way to dig them out is to visit oDigger.com and OfferVault.com.

Both these sites work as search engines for finding CPA offers. They aggregate offers from all the reputed CPA networks available worldwide.

2. Select your perfect offer – If you already own a blog in any particular niche, then select a request related to that niche. Make sure it is relevant to your blog and audience.

E.g., If your blog talks about android app gaming, then a CPA offer that pays you when somebody installs an android game app would be perfect for you.

3. Getting accepted – Belief or not, but getting accepted into CPA networks has become a huge stumbling block for most marketers.

Most of the CPA networks nowadays implement strict scrutiny to ensure that only high quality and legitimate marketers get access to their offers.

This is to prevent any fraud or any illegitimate activity.

Following are a few tips which will help you to get in:

Be honest – CPA networks filter out scammers and not the legitimate people. So make sure the information you provide is real and isn’t shady. Don’t try to trick them.

Know your offer – If you already know what offer you want to promote, then it’s a great plus point. You’ll be asked about it when you’ll fill the application.

This shows that you are one with a plan.

Know your traffic sources – While filling your application; you’ll be asked about your traffic sources. So you must know how people are going to reach your offer.

Are you going to promote it through email marketing, mobile ads, writing an article on a blog, or anything else? You must clearly mention it.

4. Optimize your blog – Once you’ve joined a network and selected your CPA offer, it’s the time to promote it on your blog. The best way to do this to integrate your affiliate links into the blog’s content.

This is so far the best way to get higher click-thru rates. Another way is you can place banners either on in the header or sidebar section.

Always do some experiments and try to optimize your link placement to maximize your click-thru rates, but while doing so, ensure that you are damaging your blog’s user experience.

How To Monetize –

• Commissions for CPA offers usually range from $0.10 to $10 per action. In some niches such as Insurance, Attorney, Antivirus Software, it can go upto $50 per action.
• Imagine if you could get 10 people to download a trial version of antivirus software that pays you $50 per install, you’ll earn $500 without even selling anything.
• The commission’s offered are decided based on factors such as niche, back end-product cost, product demand and supply, targeted country, and so on.
• In order to earn maximum commissions, it is best that you choose offers that are relevant to your audience and pay higher commissions.

Make Money – Sell Art and Crafts on Etsy

What is Etsy.com?

Etsy is an online buyer and seller community similar to eBay but focuses on selling arts, crafts, handmade or vintage items, and supplies.

With around 30 million visitors per month, Etsy provides a wonderful platform for artisans, crafters, and creative designers, which helps them in spreading their work to the worldwide audience and grow their business.

Your aim should be to leverage Etsy’s powerful visitor base to reach millions of people and sell your products to them without getting into the hassle of creating your own website, promoting it, and handling payment processing.

Top Etsy sellers make upto 1 million dollars a year by selling arts, crafts, and handmade items.

If you take action, you can also be one of them.

Suitable For –
Artistic and craftier people who love to envision, design, and create their own items/products.

Skills Required –

1. Creative abilities to imagine, think, design, and create items that can be sold online.
2. Ability to promote your Etsy store using social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, along with other methods such as blogging, guest posting, networking.

Time Required For Creating Your Store On Etsy –
You can register on Etsy almost instantly.

But while creating your store, you’ll need to craft its title, get photos of items that you want to sell, write a compelling description, decide on pricing points.

To complete the above-mentioned steps, it might one or two days.

Tips –

1. Decide what you are going to sell – Before getting your feet inside Etsy, make a list of items that you think you can create.

Once the list is ready, go to Etsy and type in keywords to find other sellers who offer similar items that you are planning to sell.

Discover what they are selling? How do their products differ from others? What are their pricing strategies?

Do some competition analysis and try to find items within your list, which will face less competition.

Based on your initial research and competition analysis, finalize an item that you think will be more suitable for creating your initial space on Etsy.

2. Select a name for your store – Once you register an account with Etsy, the first thing you’ll have to do is to set up your store. And naming your store is the first step of the setup process.

Select a name that represents what you want to sell. But don’t waste your time on lingering for finding a perfect name.

Etsy gives you one more chance to rename your store, so pick a name right away and give it more thought later on.

3. Set up your store – Following are the important steps you’ll need to follow while setting up for the store.

• Create a logo

Creating a logo is very important for building a brand and improving credibility.

Make sure the logo you design is unique and represents the items you want to sell.

If you don’t have graphic design skills, it’s always better to outsource the logo designing task to somebody on Fiverr.

Tell them what you want and let the Fiverr experts do the job for you.

• Take appealing item photos

Photos are going to be the first point of contact between your potential customer and your item.

So you need to make sure that your item photos do the job of catching the customer’s eyeballs and convince him/her to read the description.

If they don’t find the item’s photos appealing, then they’ll never bother reading your item’s description.

One trick is to study the photographs of other successful stores that sell similar items like yours and then replicate their technique.

If possible, try to take photos using a DSLR and use plain white backgrounds.

• Offer varying price points and sizes

Most of the successful Etsy sellers offer varying item sizes and prices. This helps them to attract all levels of buyers.

This strategy helps them to ensure that there is always something for everyone.

For e.g., If you sell smaller original pieces at a lower price point, people who cannot afford to buy large, expensive pieces can still buy from you.

In this way, you’ll cater to the needs of both expensive and budget buyers.

5. Write a compelling description – Your item’s description is the second most important factor after photos; it does the job of persuading potential customers to place an order with you.

So make sure that you write the most compelling item description.

The best way to start is to study what your competitors have written in their description, study the biggest questions that your potential customer asks.

Take notes and model your description based on your notes.

Also, try to answer potential customer’s questions so that they don’t have any reservations while placing an order with you.

Also, communicate important details about your item, such as dimensions, the material used, care to be taken during usage, and so on.

6. Include the right tags and keywords – Most of the potential customers will find your store through search.

So you need to make sure that your title and description have the right keywords incorporated into them.

To generate a list of keywords, think about what your potential customer would type into the search bar to find what you’re selling.

Snoop into your competitor’s title and description to dig out more relevant keywords.

Also, make a list of relevant keywords that appear in the auto-suggested list of Etsy’s search bar and add them to your listings.

Other Options To Etsy –

When you are planning to sell arts and crafts, item Etsy should be your first choice of platform.

But if you want to expand your reach even further, you should consider selling your arts on the following websites.

Here’s the list of the sites optional to Etsy:

HandmadeArtists.com
UncommonGoods.com
AftCra.com

Your customer’s rating is going to have a huge impact on improving your sales, brand buildup, and credibility.

Take time and care while packaging your item so that it doesn’t bend, chip, or break in transit.

Try to cover the cost of packing materials into your shipping charges.

If you are ready to put in the time and efforts, you can definitely grow your Instagram account to a level which can fetch you serious money online.

Suitable For –
People who love to use Instagram and take photos.

Skills Required –

1. Ability to take good quality photographs.
2. Ability to edit photos professionally.
3. Ability to edit high quality photos or wallpapers using tools such Canva, Befunky, etc.
4. Creativity and imagination.

How To Get Started –
To get started all you need is an Instagram account, a nice username, attractive profile picture and impressive bio.

If you are ready with these things, then you are ready to post and begin your marketing campaign.

Tips –

1. Select your niche: Before you can start marketing on Instagram, you need to pick a niche in which you’re going to operate.

The best way to find a suitable niche for yourselves is to look at the things which interest you the most or the things in which you are good at.

For example, if you are a fashionista and love to stay updated with the latest fashion trends then you can start an Instagram account on which you can regularly share fashion trends, styles, tips and tricks with your audience.

2. Fill out your bio correctly: Your bio is the first place where your potential followers get the information about you.

So you need to make sure it is creating the perfect first impression on them.

You can add one or two liner description, a link to your website, and emoticons for catching attention.

You can also add in few keywords and a couple of hashtags to ensure that you’re easily searchable by the right kind of followers.

3. Create posts for your ideal followers: Before you can start posting images on your account do some research and find out what people like the most in your niche?

Which images are going to appeal them? Which taglines will make the best impact on them? And so on.

Finding answers to questions mentioned above will help you to create targeted posts which will fetch in lots of true followers to your account.

4. Post regularly: To grow your followers at a faster rate, you must post several images per day.

But make sure you don’t post all of them at once, post them at a different time in a day.

Sometimes if you are too busy to post several images then try to post at least one picture every day.

5. Use only high-quality images: Your Instagram account should be a brand. So make sure you are posting only high-quality images with best effects.

There’s no point is posting low-quality images as they all decrease your account’s value.

High-quality images build a long lasting visual impression into the minds of your followers, they also help to catch the eyes of the many casual browsers who will just discover you only because your high-quality image grabbed their attention, eventually increasing your followers.

6. Use relevant hashtags: Hashtags is the most dominant feature of Instagram, if used cleverly they’ll help your posts to reach millions of people who might be interested in your profile.

Do some research and find the best hashtags within your niche and make sure you are including them in every single post.

Visit the website Tagsforlikes.com for discovering most popular tags within your niche.

Also keep the hashtags relevant, and don’t try to fit in too many. Instagram allows you to post 30 hashtags per post.

6. Engage with your followers: You need to interact with your followers to build trust, get an insight into their problems, needs, and expectations so that you can use this data to bring in more relevant content for them.

A simple way to engage with your current followers or potential followers within your niche is by liking their images, providing valuable comments or even following them back.

You can even run daily contests which might seem relevant to your followers.

For example, a reputed watch brand runs a “Pic of the day” of the day contest in which they ask their customers to post images wearing the brand’s watch.

They then select the best image out of submitted ones and post it on their Instagram profile.

Followers like such contests because if selected they get the chance to become popular among the brand’s other followers.

How To Monetize –
Following are the best ways to make money on Instagram:

1. Affiliate Marketing

This is a good way to start making money especially when your Instagram account has gathered few thousand followers and is growing fast.

Affiliate marketing on Instagram is quite different than other traditional channels such as blogging and video marketing.

Here you’ll need to post beautiful images of the products you want to promote and drive sales by placing your affiliate URL into your bio or caption.

Following are the URLs of the few reputed companies where you can sign up as an affiliate and get started:

Shareasale.com
Stylinity.com
Liketoknow.it

2. Create Sponsored Posts

If you have a high engagement with your followers, you can earn some handsome money by creating sponsored posts for brands.

A sponsored post is nothing but a regular post which contains a high-quality image or a video that highlights a product or a brand.

You get paid for every sponsored post. Payment varies based on your popularity, influence, engagement, follower demographics and so on.

The aim of any sponsored post is to create awareness about a product or a brand within your followers.

But while doing so make sure that you choose only a product or a brand that is relevant to your audience and is a good fit for your own personal image on Instagram.

Following are the names and URLs of companies where you can visit and register yourself as an influencer:

1. Tapinfluence

(Exact URL – https://influencers.tapinfluence.com/sign_up)

2. Influenz

(Exact URL – https://www.ifluenz.com)

3. Takumi

(Exact URL – http://takumi.com/app)

3. Sell your photos

If you are taking high-quality photographs and professionally editing for your Instagram posts then why not sell them to make some extra cash?

There are many individuals, bloggers, and businesses who are always looking for new and creative photographs.

Instagram can help you to find them and sell your snaps.

There’s a very simple way of doing this. Add a watermark to your images and list all the selling and contact details precisely within the caption.

People who are interested in purchasing them will contact, and you can sell your shots to them.

Following are the names of some trusted sites where you can put your Instagram photos for sale.

Twenty20.com
Foap.com

4. Sell your own products

If you personally create any product or you are a retailer, you need to leverage the power of Instagram for getting more sales.

Product promotion works great on Instagram because you can post personalized photos of your products which cannot be found anywhere else.

You can use many promotional tactics such as creating beautiful infographics, asking existing customers to post the pictures of them using your product or even post pictures of the raw materials and actual product creation process.

5. Sell your Instagram account

If you already made it big on Instagram by gathering millions of followers.

You’ve achieved all your goals or just you need to move on from Instagram to doing something else.

If you want to go away from Instagram, you’ll be happy to know that you can sell you Instagram account and earn some hefty amount of money.

The price of your Instagram account will depend on the niche, number of followers, engagement and so on.

Here’s the list of few legitimate websites where you can sell your Instagram account:

Fameswap.com
Viralaccounts.com
Extra Tip –
Above mentioned are the best ways to monetize your Instagram account once you get few thousand followers, but I’ll suggest you not to start any promotions until you get 10 thousand followers.

Some of you might think waiting to start making any money until account gets 10 thousand followers is really insane.

But believe me, it’s the right way.

You need to first build trust and confidence about you into the minds of your followers and you can only do that by providing consistent value to them over a period of time.

Make Money – Start Dropshipping Business

What is dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a concept related to e-commerce. It’s a method in which the online store doesn’t produce or stock the product it sells.

Instead, the store first sells the product then purchases it from a third party for a lower price and gets it shipped directly to the customer’s address.

Dropshipping is an excellent business model because you just need to setup an online store, make sales and earn profits.

You don’t need to worry about stock, inventory, packing, shipping or handling.

It’s a great business model for someone who has very little money to invest because you don’t have to buy a product unless you’ve already made a sale and have been paid by the customer.

So, basically in this business model you are using customer’s money for purchasing a product and making the profit without investing your own money.

Suitable For –
Anyone who loves e-commerce.

Skills Required –

1. Ability to deal with your clients and suppliers in a confident way. You should be able to answer their queries, solve problems and instruct them correctly.
2. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
3. Ability to spot trends, opportunities and adapt quickly.
4. Analytical skills.
5. Up to date knowledge of the industry.

How To Get Started –
The hassle free way to get started is by signing up on Shopify.com.

What is Shopify.com?

Shopify is a website which provides you all the technical things that you’ll ever need to setup your online store.

You’ll get hosting, domain name, design, themes, payment gateways and almost everything at one place.

Shopify makes online store setup so easy that anyone without much of technical knowledge can do it.

It’s great a great choice if you want to focus and spend more time on your business growing activities rather than technical setup and maintenance.

Shopify is not just like any website generator or CMS like WordPress. It’s a complete e-commerce platform with more than 70k people using it for selling products online.

Tips –

1. Decide what you are going to sell – Before you can start setting up your online store on Shopify make a list of things that you want to sell.

You can sell anything from wristwatches to t-shirts, necklaces, accessories and so on. If you still can’t decide what to sell then try to make a list of things you like or which interest you the most, this will give you a heads up.

2. Do some initial research – Once you have the list, you must conduct some research. Find the answers to the questions such as:

Does the product you are intending to sell have demand in the market?
How much price are people willing to pay?
Where are people visiting to buy these products?
On which social media channel you can find your best potential customers?
What is the age group of your potential customers?
What are the current trends?
The best way to find the answers to above questions is to visit top e-commerce stores such as Amazon.com find which product designs are selling the best, read the customer reviews to get more insight into customers expectations.

You can also visit product forums, join social media groups, popular blogs to collect more data about your potential customers.

This data will help you to select the right products that will appeal your target audience and thus fetch you more sales and profits.

For example, if you plan to sell wristwatches visit Amazon.com and check out best-selling wristwatches note down their price range, observe their designs, read customer reviews and note down important points.

Find out other similar e-commerce sites like Amazon and repeat the above method. After that move on to watch forums, fashion blogs to collect more data about your potential customers.

3. Find the suppliers – Once you’ve finalized the products you want to sell, you can visit sites like Everbuying.net or Alibaba.com to find the suppliers who can provide you the products.

Shortlist some good suppliers, discuss your marketing plan with them and see if they are the right fit for you and can deliver agreed products within the time limits.

4. Set your store on Shopify – Once you’ve complete the first 3 steps it’s the time to setup your online store.

Do to this, register on Shopify.com, verify your email and start store creation process.

Here you’ll need to choose your custom domain name, theme, product category and finally, add products.

While adding products you can use the images and description used by your preferred supplier from Everbuying.net or Alibaba.com.

5. Pricing strategy – Your pricing strategy is going to define how much money you are going to make.

Use the data you collected during the research step to decide your product’s pricing.

For example, if you’ve decided to sell wristwatches and they cost you $17 per piece on Everbuying, and your research data is suggesting you to sell it for maximum $30, then you can sell it for $27 and make $10 profit on every sale.

6. Promote your product links – Once you’ve added products on your Shopify store you can start promoting them wherever you want.

Social media is the best place beginning your promotion campaign. You can also offer discount codes to attract more customers to your store.

7. Orders and shipping – Once anyone places an order use that money to place the order from your supplier on Everbuying or Alibaba and provide him your customer’s shipping address.

Your supplier will himself make the arrangement for packing and shipping. You don’t need to worry about anything.

The more targeted people visit you store and make the purchase, the more money you make.

Your main task in this way of making money is that you need to find and register the domain names that have the commercial value which can potentially grow in demand in future.

For e.g. pokemongo.com, 99acres.com

Registering is very cheap, you can a new domain name on Namecheap.com for just $2. Once you’ve got the domain name, list the domain for sale on a site like Sedo.com with the higher price.

It will not take you very long to understand how everything works. It will take you an even shorter amount of time as you get better at this task.

To edit videos for clients, these are the components that you will ask your customer to provide to you:

1. A script. The words that will go on each slide within the video presentation. The goal is 10 words or less for each slide; the simpler the better is what creates an effective message.
2. A musical loop in a MP3 format. You can purchase musical loops (a short instrumental or musical song) by category and have them shipped to you on CD, or you can download the loops to your computer.

If the customer is not providing a musical loop, then you will choose the musical track that will go along with the video presentation.

3. Sometimes the customer will provide a voiceover, which is an audio file that you will need to add to the video.

The audio formats vary depending upon how they were recorded and saved.

Make Money – Do Pinterest Marketing

Look at today’s social media world scenario; you’ll see Facebook and Twitter are ruling it. Large companies and online businesses spend tons of money on advertising on these platforms.

It helps them to acquire more customers and grow their businesses, but they are so focused on using the platforms mentioned above that they completely ignore one powerful platform, and that is Pinterest.

Now let me explain, how you can leverage this situation for making more online. But first look at its facts below.

1. Pinterest has over 100 million active users and 176 million registered users, out of which 71% are women.

It’s good news if you are trying to sell a product that is relevant to women customers. You can showcase your products to a mostly female audience with very less effort.

2. 93% of its users have bought something online.

This is a great sign as most of its users are accustomed to online shopping.

That means they are confident about making online purchases and you don’t need to convince them or mainly gain their trust to sell your online products.

3. Pinterest has two important features:

First, it allows visitors to enjoy its Pins without signing up
Second, Pinterest boards rank high in search engines
Both the features mentioned above allow you leverage Pinterest’s authority in search engines and help you reach audiences that are not even on Pinterest, thus hugely amplifying your reach at no cost.

In this image you can see that I searched a keyword “birthday party ideas,” you can also see on the red box that Pinterest’s page is ranking at the top organically.

If you have a board related to birthday party ideas, then there’s a very high chance that people will see it through this link and visit your website or online store.

It’s a great way of driving traffic even if your site or online store is not ranking high in search engines.

Finally, the biggest advantage of Pinterest is the lack of competition when compared to Facebook and Twitter.

As very fewer marketers and companies are targeting Pinterest you as a someone who has none or least budget for marketing your business can use it for reaching more people and make handsome money online.

Make Money – Create A Viral Website

What is a viral website?
A website which publishes interesting, informative or surprising content and inspires its readers to share its content with their social media friends is called a viral website.

It’s a kind of a website which gets popular and drives traffic through social media sharing and makes money by publishing ads.

I am sure you might have come across websites like Buzzfeed.com, Upworthy.com, Viralnova.com or Boredpanda.com these are the world’s most famous viral websites.

Why starting a viral website is beneficial in current social media scenario?
Today’s social media users love to share interesting stuff with their friends or tag them. It’s a growing trend which can make anything go viral without much of advertising or marketing efforts.

You can leverage this sharing trend on social media and make money by creating some interesting articles, sharing them on social media, driving people to your website and make money by publishing ads.

How To Get Started –
Step 1 – Setup your WordPress viral website

Setting up a WordPress website is easy, and you don’t need to learn any technical stuff to do it.

You’ll just need a domain name and a hosting account with a good web host to set up your WordPress site.

If you need a step by step guide for doing this, you can watch WordPress tutorial videos on YouTube to get started.

Step 2 – Create a Facebook fan page for you viral website

You can create a Facebook fan page within minutes, but if you still need any help, you can always get help from Google.

Use professional-looking photos for your page’s display picture and cover photo and don’t forget to fill in all the necessary details regarding your website while creating the page.

I would also suggest you take a look at the Facebook pages of other popular viral websites and take ideas from them to set up your page.

Finding viral content and publishing them on your website is the most challenging task in this business model but fortunately, there’s a simple solution to this problem.

Just visit all the popular viral websites that I have mentioned above and find out which of their articles are trending, study their Facebook pages and look for the articles that have got most shares then rewrite and publish your own article on the same topic on your website.

A word of caution here, never copy any articles from other websites unless you want to get banned from Google or Facebook.

You’ll have to repeatedly find, rewrite, publish and promote new exciting content if you want to make money in this business.

The more you do it more money you’ll make hence get into the habit of doing all these tasks daily.

4. Avoid unnecessary long answers

Keep your answers compact and precise, try to answer any question within 2-3 paragraphs, use professional writer’s rule of including 20-25 words per sentence and 2-4 sentences per paragraph.

You might be thinking, how can somebody make money by giving away something? But today you’ll learn a brilliant marketing strategy that very few marketers are using to make loads of money without investing lots of funds.

Now, let’s dive into the strategy.

This strategy consists of organizing a Giveaway of high valued physical products, software, eBooks, live event passes, online services and so on.

Then promoting the giveaway to a specific interested audience and asking them to participate in the giveaway by registering via their email id and sharing the giveaway with their friends thus building a niche specific targeted email list.

Next, choosing random winners from the pool of registered people and giving them the promised products or services for free.

Further, monetizing the email list by promoting affiliate offers via email marketing.

Following are some tips which will guide you to conduct research and select the right product/offer for your giveaway.

1. Find out what are the most prominent pain points people have in your niche and how your giveaway can provide a solution to it.

Use the following points to dig out pain points in your niche.

1. Find out where on the internet your audience is active and engaging. Is it on social media platforms, forums, YouTube or blogs. If you know this, you will know where you should promote your giveaways.
2. Understand how your audience wants the solution, whether they want a physical product, software, service, online course, eBook, video, etc. It will help you to select the right giveaway which will appeal your audience.

Step 2 – Get all tools for starting your giveaway campaign

You’ll need two important tools to start your giveaway campaign, a viral marketing application and an autoresponder.

If you own a WordPress blog, you can install a free viral marketing plugin named “Viral Sign Ups” or an another paid tool called “UpViral”.

Both these tools are easy to use, and you can easily set up your giveaway campaign without much need of technical knowledge.

Once Viral Sign Ups or UpViral tool has been configured you need to connect them to an autoresponder so that you can store all the signup emails and for email marketing purpose.

Step 3 – Decide your giveaway strategy

A giveaway strategy is nothing but deciding on what actions you want visitors to take before they participate in your giveaway.

Depending on goals you want to achieve you can develop your strategy.

The strategy could be anything just ensure that it’s according to the rules of the platform on which you’re promoting your giveaway.

For example: If you want to grow your blog’s subscribers you can ask your visitors to subscribe to your blog, like your blog’s Facebook page and tag their three friends.

Step 4 – Promote your giveaway

If you have done the research right, you’ll have a complete idea about where to promote your giveaway on the internet. Depending on your research you can plan your promotion strategy.

For example: If your research suggests that Facebook will be the right place to for giveaway promotion then there are multiple ways you can do it, I am mentioning a few below.

• You can start Facebook ads and drive people your website.
• You can contact influencers and ask them to promote your giveaway for a fee.
• You can join niche related groups and post your giveaway.

Step 5 – Monetize

Once you start promoting your giveaway, people will start participating, and your email list will grow.

Once you have an email list of reasonable size (250 – 500 subscribers), you can regularly start promoting relevant affiliate offers and products to your list via email.

People will buy products and offers via your affiliate link thus making you money through affiliate commissions.

Always remember that in the email marketing business the bigger the size of your targeted email list the bigger your commissions.

Hence always try to add new targeted subscribers to your list via running multiple giveaway campaigns.

Make Money – Start A Lead Generation Website

A lead generation website is similar to a niche website, but with a small twist.

Instead of making sales, your job is just to generate qualified leads and send them to the related businesses and get paid per lead.

This business model is easier because generating leads takes lesser efforts than making sales.

Leads are generated when visitors register their interest via filling an optin form on your website.

This business model works in all types of industries such as real estate, automobiles, chiropractors, attorneys, dentists, interior designers and so on.

You can build such website on WordPress platform using landing page building tools such as Optimizepress, Thrive Architect, etc.

Once your website is ready, you should rank it in search engines for the right keywords by doing SEO.

If the amount you’re earning per lead is high, you can even use paid ads for promotion.

Following is an example of a lead generation website built for generating leads for a dentist.

How to monetize –
Most of the local businesses don’t have resources and knowledge to build their own lead generation website.

You can sign a deal these businesses and offer them generate targeted leads for a price.

For example, You can sign a contract with the local real estate developer for helping him to generate leads for his multistoried residential project at a fixed price per lead.

Most of the SEO experts use this model to generate thousands of dollars, and you too do it. So why wait? Get started ASAP.

Make Money – Be A Content Curator

Content curation is collecting information from various sources and organizing it in a structured way such that it becomes easy to consume.

Curators don’t need to be an expert they just need to have the basic understanding of the topic, excellent research skills and the ability to organize the data in the right way.

A curated content provides great value to its readers as it gives them all the bits of the information at one place thus saving their time and energy.

For example, You can curate a step by step guide which will help users to learn cryptocurrency trading.

Businesses use this strategy to create content that their customers will love and share. It helps them to build a loyal and engaging following without having a lot of expertise.

How To Monetize –
There are multiple methods where you can use content curation strategy to make money. I am listing a few below.

1. Create and sell PLR

Select a niche of your interest and write informative eBooks, email series, action guides and so on using curation strategy and sell it as a PLR.

Bloggers, information product creators, email marketers, membership site owners, etc. are always looking for fresh and informative content, you can directly contact these people and market your PLR eBooks.

Once they start liking your products, they’ll buy more from you, and you’ll also be invited to participate in their projects.

Following are some websites which create PLR using curation strategy and sell them, you can check them out and get some ideas.

• Kitchenbloggers.com (Food and recipes niche)
• Healthandwellnessplr.com (Health and wellness niche)
• Plr-relationship-wizard.com (Works in dating and relationship niche)

1. Start a blog

You can start a blog and use the content curation strategy for finding new post ideas and growing your blog.

Find popular topics in your niche and then curate them to create your own unique content.

Use a tool like Buzzsumo to find out the popular topics and posts in your niche.

Here’s an example:

A simple search about blogging came up with almost 89,000 blog posts related to blogging along with their sharing stats on different social media platforms.

3. Curate viral stories

Viral websites are hugely popular nowadays; you can start your own viral website, curate viral stories and publish them on your site.

You can even take a job of a content curator at popular viral sites which operate from your home country.

Make Money – Create A Comparison Website

I am sure you must have visited a comparison website at some point in your life. You might have used them while comparing hotels, flights, travel packages, insurance, loans, cars and so on.

Comparison websites help users to find the right products or services from a group of similar ones, and they earn money via referral affiliate links.

Take a look at Trivago.com; it’s one of the world’s largest comparison site for hotel deals.

Now the idea is to bring this comparison concept to the niche level and create a website comparing similar or related niche products.
To implement this idea you need to find a niche which has hundreds of products with similar or confusing specs.

Think of Television (TV) niche for example. You’ll find a variety of TVs from multiple companies having similar specs and most of us don’t what they really mean.

Such situations create massive confusion in the minds of buyers, and they take help of the internet for getting more clarity.

You could tap on this opportunity and create a site which compares products spec by spec and explains their meaning, benefits, and value for money of them.

You can also add other related content such as tips, tutorials, installation instructions and more which your customers will find helpful.

Once your site is ready, you can drive laser targeted traffic from low competition keywords by doing SEO and generate stable passive income.

How to monetize:
Monetize by referring visitors via Amazon affiliate links and earn commissions when they purchase the product.

If you own an e-commerce store, you can refer site users to it and generate sales.

Make Money – Create A Coupon Website

The concept of a coupon website is similar to an affiliate website, and that is to generate sales for others.

But these websites leverage a brilliant psychological notion that encourages people to buy, and that is to offer discounts or coupons.

Statistics show that coupons and discounts are the most prominent influencers of purchase decisions made by internet users.

Discount websites make money through affiliate marketing, when a visitor clicks on buttons like “View Deal,” “Get Deal,” “See Deal,” etc. they’re being referred to a merchant site through an affiliate link.

Websites earn commissions when their referrals buy products.

This system also works in other way, merchants assign specific coupon code to a particular coupon website, when a buyer clicks on buttons like “Show Code,” “Show Coupon” he is shown the previously assigned coupon code.

When the buyer enters that coupon code at checkout, the merchant knows from where the buyer had been referred, and the coupon website is rewarded with commission.

Some of the top discount/coupon websites such as Groupon, Retailmenot, Techbargains and more use this model to earn millions of dollars every year.

You can implement the same idea in your niche and make money.

People are always searching for coupons and discount offers when they’re about to buy something.

You can dig out such keywords in your niche and rank your website in search engines to generate free traffic and passive income.

You can also promote coupons on social media and try to generate viral traffic as people love to share them with their friends.
