Want to start

    Alright. I am VERY interested in beginning web sites, and making revenue off of them as well as marketing, etc. I currently have a proxy site, and through Adsense I am making roughly $.50-$1.00 a day which is not much at all. I was proud of it once I first started getting it, however, it is just not enough at all. I know there are some very knowledgeable people here that know what they are doing, so I would like some help. First off, I would love to have a partner join me so that we could do some things together. I would be really fair/honest, and I would only like to be paid what I deserve. If no that, I would love some good tips on what to do to get started. Also, I am a VB(Visual Basic) programmer, and that is what I normally do to make money. I have some Myspace programs I am looking to sell at the moment, but I am not making much sales because I am unable to look around for buyers right now. I also can do HTML/very little PHP/Very little JAVA. I can help as much as I can. I am on the PC a lot, so if anyone needs some easy jobs done such as data entry, etc I am perfect. I use my time on whatever I would like to get done. Thanks!

    firstly, you could take your proxy site, and make 100 of them, each with .info names, (different ip addresses are needed tho) and then you will be making $50-100 a day.

    or you could think up a new niche, and take the web with that. build a website and then market it.

    i have recently thought up a brand new idea, going to write up a business plan, and then get it made.

    Yes, I am just not sure if I would like to do proxy though. It sounds like a good idea though. What do you mean by different IPs? I would just use them all on the same hosting, just different folders or something..Are you saying I need a different host for each or something? I sure hope not.

    And also pay a lot for hosting :) on a couple of dedi servers.

    Just a tip for your first site. Make it about something that you are really interested in. Then you will know what the visitors need too. Think about what you are missing on other sites of your interest and so on.

    This all sounds like good sound advice. My 2 cents would be content is king.

    well no u can do it on the same hosting, such as dreamhost shared hosting, u get ample bandwith, and can purcase unique ids for each site, this way, wen a system blocks one of your proxies, not all of them will be blocked?!

    i would, i guess, make a website on one of your pasions?! do you have any?

    -Sports(baseball, basketball, football)
    -Computers
    -Programming
    -TV

    I am really not sure of any ideas.

    well i am a little impressed by quite's idea in the second post of this thread. The only thing i was wondering was, wouldn't this become a major content duplicay that way. All the websites will have the same content?

    Well, I have heard of proxy networks before. They work, I am just not sure if all of the bandwidth payment would be worth it unless I found a very good deal because I need a good amount of bandwidth right now just for my one proxy and only making around $1/day. So, I think I will try something else..I am still waiting for more ideas.

    sorry didnt make it clear, i meant, you make 100 proxies, but change the writing on each, although i doubt you would be aiming for high SERPs results as there are thousands of proxies out there.

    you would promote them thru top sites, blogs, forums, cross promotion between proxies, etc. all free methods.

    as you would have a large network, you can set up a mailing list to notify users of new proxy sites.

    yes, they use alot of bandwith, but other people are succesful in the field, so it is profitable, you would just need to optimize your proxy to stop hot linking, which accounts for large amounts of bandwith. there are different forms of proxies, e.g. one of either cgi proxy or phproxy (i forget which one) uses less bandwith!

    only problem with proxies is they are short term investments, as the domains will become blocked after a few months, so guess you would need to bring out new domains quite quickly!

    Yes, I need some quick money basically..I do not mind do some work, it's just I can't seem to find anything. I mean, I have been trying to sell this:

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=3234480#post3234480

    It is a good deal. I would like to start making money making some websites because they seem to do good..I have a proxy site that has made me $16.67 since April 14th. I guess that isn't THAT bad, but I would love to make some more.

    If you can't seem to find anything, then my advice is simple: keep looking! Read articles and learn about different ways of making money online, and maybe you can find a way that interests you (I'm personally in affiliate marketing). When I was looking for ways to make money online I downloaded every single free e-book on the subject that I could get my hands on. It's all about learning what interests you best in my opinion.
