New project with iflags.org

I have just started a new webproject in iflags.org and it will be an information site where you can find pictures and history of the worlds flags.

At the moment I've put up an Wordpress site and each country flag will have it's own post. At first the posts will have a big picture of the countries flag and information on how the flag is built, nicknames for the flag and history of the flag. When all the country flags are posted I will begin writing longer and better texts for the biggest flags and making the site bigger and more content based as time goes by.

To let this project go as smoothly as possible I've set up some goals:

1. All the world country flags are to be online before the 19th of February. At the moment all North- and South-American flags and a few European are online.

2. As the project progresses, SEO will be implemented by signing up the website on various weblists and other blogs. Iflags.org is have already registrered with Google and Bing and hopefully the pages will soon be searchable on those sites.

3. More flags will then be posted so that there is a stream of new posts all the time. New flags could be State flags, company flags, flags from organisation, historical flags and much more.

At the moment monetization of iflags.org is made via Google but my longterm goal is to put in affiliate offerings from Amazon, ebay, clickbank and others.

I will of course also add backlinks from my other sites like, Reasiten.se, GratisUtbildning.se etc.

I'll write more as the project progresses so that you can all see how it goes.

Make money with domaining

I must say that I'm rather new to domaining and in my quest to find ways into making money in domaing I have found that there are at least 3 different ways. There are probably many more but these are the ones that I've found are the best ones.

1. Park domains
Buy, register domain names and park it with a parking company like sedo.com, godaddy.com, namedrive.com. The parking companies will show a webpage with links from different companies. You'll make money on your domain when a visitor clicks on one of those ads. As you can guess, this will only work if you get a type-in-domain (visitors who find your domain by punching in your domainname in their webbrowser) with lots of daily visitors. Probably only 2-4 visitors per 100 will click on the ads but this of course depends on the domain.

The key is to have many domains that make at least $20 per year so that you make more money than the yearly domin cost. This is an longterm earningplan and the goal is to have a moneymaking machine that gives you PPC (Pay Per Click) revenues every month without having to do anything.

Notice that you should only register domains that are genereric and doesn't infringe on trademarks and company names as this could cost you alot in future lawyer fees.

2. Flipp domians
The second way is to buy and register domain names with the aim to flipp them at a later date by selling them to a buyer. It would take a little more time to get an income stream but as you buy and sell more domain you should be able to make some money. You'll also need to invest more money to buy better domains that could generate a higher pricetag in the future.

3. Develop a website
This is the most expensive way in making money with domains. First you have to find the perfect domainname for your product/service and then develop the website and fill it with content. It takes more time to make money but at the long run it could be the way to make a lot more money than the previous alternatives.

There are loads of other ways to make money on your domains - like selling backlinks (if your domain has a Pagerank of 2 or more), redirecting your visitors to another site that pays you per visitor, lease the domain to a developer or do like chicago.com did. Chicago.com noticed that they could take out a monthly fee for an e-mail service to their visitors. If you have a lawfirm in Chicago wouldn't you want an e-mail that looked something like lawyer at chicago.com? The Chicago idea would probably only work on a Geo domain or a perfect generic keyword.

My strategy at the moment is to find great domain names and park them with a PPC parking company so that I get some revenues. This gives me the time to figure out what my next move is - to flipp it or to develop av website. I would of course let it be parked should the domain have enough of a revenue stream via the parking company.

Make and/or save money with fiverr

A couple of weeks ago I encountered fiverr.com while surfing the net. It is an marketplace where anyone can sell their services for $5 + extras for more. For ex. one seller makes a video with your testimonial and sends it to their facebook page for only $5. This video could then contain a message of your choosing like your product or webpage. It is a easy, funny and cheap way to get your word out to the masses.

This site seems to bring opportunities for both buyers and sellers. For the buyer this is a perfect buying place to find services at very low prices and easly get the word out. For the seller you can make money by selling your services to buyers from all over the world.

There are so many different services offered on fiverr.com but I'll make a small example list on what is offered.

I will post a video message to your facebook saying what ever you want for $5 - a perfect way to get your message without you yourself making the video.

I will design animal mascot for $5 - need a mascot here is your chance to get one for only 5 bucks.

 

I will distribute 35 flyers in New York City for $5 - get your word out in New York without you even have to be there.

 

I will write a 550 word SEO article in 24 hours for $5 - pretty cheap - get an 550 word SEO article for you website or publish it on Ezine.com for only $5.

 

I will make a video with Santa driving Car and small cute KOALA wishing Merry Christmas or promoting... for $5 - perfect for the holidays to come. Give a Merry Christmas to your loved ones or promote you webpage with a holiday greeting.

 

The list could be made very long as there are hundreds and hundreds more services to choose from. Summarized fiverr.com seems to be a place where you could both save and make money. It is your choice.

Won securites.info auction on Godaddy

Yesterday Godaddy had an exclusive auction for .info keyword domains. It was an exciting auction with lots of good domain names like chef.info, bonds.info, discounts.info, election.info and many more. I submitted bids on about 10 of the domains but won only one, securities.info.

When bying domians my main object is to think out if I can develope it to something likeable and commercial. Securities.info is a broad generic keyword that can have information regarding on all sorts of securities like stocks, bonds, warrants and much more. My first task is to come up with a plan on how to make the site work and perhaps find a partner that has more experience with securities. I will post more as everything progresses.

It was a bit of a bidding war as the prices for the best domains went up in price. My securites.info domain went up to $600 whitch is a ok price for such a generic keyword. My main goal had been to buy chef.info and to develop that domain into a socialsite for the worlds top chefs but the price went up to high for my taste and was sold for $1365. This maybe wasen't such a high price for such a good generic keyword but my motto is not to put everything in one basket but to have a bunch of projects running at the same time.

Here are the final bids for the .info auctions that I bid on:
(and my thoughts on what could have been done on the sites...)

Bolsa.info $305 (Maybe stockmarket info for the Spanish of Portuguese markets)
Bonds.info $2510 (The name says it all - information about bonds from around the world)
Chef.info $1365 (Socialsite for the worlds top chefs)
Discounts.info $1360 (Blog on discounts from all sorts of sites like Amazon, ebay etc.)
Ebank.info £300 (Perfect for an up and comming internet bank)
Election.info $930 (would have been a great site for information on upcomming elections.)
Enews.info $425 (All the news in one place?)
Economics.info $1105 (Infosite on economic history and updated news on economics today)
Exhibitions.info $730 (Perfect place lists on exhibition around the world)
Innovations.info $505 (Blod on todays and yesterdays innovations that will and has changed the world)
