How to Find Cheap Advertising on Websites

Advertising your website is important if you want to make easy money online no matter whether you make money blogging or make money selling affiliate products.  However, trying to do things like pay per click or banner ads, while effective, cost money.  How can you find cheap advertising on websites or better still, free advertising?

Commenting!

Commenting on people’s blogs, leaving feedback and reviews on products, and generally making a presence is a great way to start building backlinks and advertise yourself online, albeit in a small way.  However, you have to do this carefully; make sure to comment in a meaningful way for the blog post or products so that you are not only leaving a backlink, but you are also contributing to the blog and making the writer feel like he or she was genuinely appreciated.  Furthermore, if you make regular contributions and engage in discussions, you may well find that the writer plugs you and your site!  This leads in to the next way to get free advertising on other websites….

‘Plugging’ Each Other

If you take the time to make meaningful comments about other people’s writing, products, and website as well as engaging in discussion with the webowner or blog writer, you may well find that you can ‘trade’ links and plug each other; one website owner will push your products in return for pushing theirs on your blog or website.  You can do the same with social networking; tweeting each other and ‘liking’ each other’s fan pages are all good ways of trading publicity.

Look for it

Some websites specialize in giving cheap advertising in order to affiliate market your products or services.  Make sure to carefully research any site you decide to do this with to make sure it’s legit and effective before you start shelling out money for it.

Google AdWords

Google AdWords is a service given out by Google that allows you to advertise on the search engine sidebars or on other Google affiliated sites.  You get a wide following for only a few cents a click and Google regularly runs promotions and deals that let you save a ton of money on advertising, especially if you are new to Google ad stuff.  For example, AdWords is currently giving away $75.00 worth of AdWords which is a great way to get your business off the ground.

Article Marketing

There are countless article directories where you can write up informative articles about your site, products and services and not only get comments, backlinks and traffic, but also increases your authority on the topic.  Article directories are free to join and use and some of the best names such as Ezine can really boost your traffic numbers.

It doesn’t get much cheaper in advertising than free and using other websites to do it is a great way to get more traffic as well as more authority and even some online buddies.  As for cheap advertising, doing things like using Google AdWords or signing up with websites willing to advertise you are both great ways to save money and get more traffic to your website.

How to Run and Profit From a Niche Dating Site

Health, wealth, and relationships are the three most profitable areas of online business to make money on.  Dating sites are one aspect of these incredibly profitable niches.  Statistics have shown that the use of dating sites has been on the rise with around four billion dollars being spent on online dating sites in 2010 and about 17% of couples that have married having met on online dating sites and far more than that meeting and dating.  How do you get your piece of this rather lucrative pie?  Just like any  business, by going into niche areas and running a niche dating site.

A niche dating site will be a dating site that focuses on one aspect of the relationship world.  Instead of trying to challenge big sites like Match.com, aim for smaller sections of the human race such as gay dating, lesbian dating, Hispanic dating, young adult dating (consenting age of course!) or people looking for rich spouses.  You can go with even narrower niches by focusing on hobbys such as pets, gaming, video games, movies, and so on.  There are dozens, hundreds of niches to choose from-it’s mostly a matter of comfort level and your own expertise.  Remember, the more you know about your niche, the more you will able to share in your articles and the more attention you will attract.  In dating sites (or any social sites really), this kind of passion is important because it is what binds people together even over vast differences and if the webmaster doesn’t really care, it shows through in the site.

Once you’ve figured out your target audience, you then treat your niche dating site as you would treat any business site.  Get notice from search engines by writing (or commissioning) keyword rich articles related to your topic and submitting them to your own website and to article directories.  Make sure your site is user friendly and has fun little activities such as polls and of course well regulated forums (it’s worth it in this case to hire a moderator or two in order to make certain that forums are kept spam free and tidy).

Profits from your niche dating site will come from a few sources.  You can do AdSense or text ads on your site if you wish in order to build up your starter income and then phase them out (or keep them) and start with membership fees to use the forums and use your site as a place to hook up with others and possibly meet them.  You can also make profits on things like e-books on relationships if you’re interested in that kind of thing, but the bulk of your profits will likely come from membership subscriptions.  Make sure that you have a very secure check out system and that you can accept payment from both credit cards and PayPal (and even bank accounts if you can find secure software for it).  Many people are leery about giving out their credit card information, but they are perfectly happy to use PayPal, so it’s a good idea to hit both sources of money.  Take a look at big sites to get an idea of how they do things in order to structure your own fees properly.

Niche dating sites are a great way to make good income and help people meet and fall in love, but only if it is done properly.  Choose a niche you yourself are interested in and then market it like you would any other site, though with more emphasis on meeting and socializing than on any product.  Structure your membership fees to be as secure as possible as well as user friendly and stay competitive.  Finally, remember to keep your website friendly, but safe so that people will feel secure coming to your site to socialize.  By doing these things and adding your own spin to them, you should be able to make good money from your niche dating site.
