Hey guys, I have this domain registered and don't know what to do with it. Please suggest as in what I can do with it, which can help me earn something from it (aiming at 100$/month in next 6 months, i kno it is too high for a newbie like me, but I need to have a goal!). What to choose - News/Updates with Adsense, Affiliate Marketing on something related to sports (if it exists), Directory for sports related sites, or something else. Need Ideas. Please help and enlighten on what to include that will earn me something, even if it is not much. Thanks, VizMAX
I think you should first come up with a business idea and then look for the right domain to support it, not vice versa. In future try to stay away from .info domains. It is very hard to have a high traffic site on such a domain.
I realized that. Now I have registered and paid for it. Need to do something.. Selling it off is an option, but I really want to make something out of it.
You could make it a sports blog, and use it for selling affiliate stuff. Plenty of sports related affiliate merchants around- I could point you around if you've got a specific sport in mind for this blog.
writing my own content for a sports blog leaves me with only 2 options - cricket and football (soccer). u can suggest something for them?
Research for the most searched sport in the net.. Then make some quality and interesting contents about them.. Usually sports news are very much visited.. Then place some Google ads for more income.. Then promote your site and do some link building..
Sports betting is a lucrative niche, many high priced betting systems products to promote and adsense clicks are resonable.
With football you've got plenty of options. There are affiliates for football shirts ( Kitbag, Subside, Onionbag, World Soccer Shop), footballs, football boots, flags, scarves, football tickets and other merchandise. Cricket is probably a bit limited when you look at the merchants available, but you can probably sell bats and shirts.
Thanks a lot guys for your valuable inputs. I see myself starting on one soon.. Meanwhile, I have one more idea in my mind.. Creating a Sports Video Portal. Is there any affiliate program for this niche? Say like the ones that pay per video viewed or per x impressions. Also, some source/script/package where suitable videos are added automatically from various places would be helpful. Or a service that provides the video as well as pays per view. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot, VizMAX
There is a good thread here about adsense and videos: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=324532 and a bunch of video site generator scripts out there.
thanks again.. will check out.. within a week i ll be up working with one of the options.. i ll bug you guys at DP later while i do the actual work. thanks a lot every one. meanwhile, you can keep the suggestions flowing in, if something strikes you.
I would suggest you setup a forum for sport discussion. And earn with banner ads and selling sport product.
You can start with a website about worldwide soccer 2010 in Africa and make money by adding google adwords to your website.
