Hello everyone, I am thinking about a new idea of selling links. Will you buy a sponsored link in my blog for $25? And that too for life time or until your money is refunded fully. Here is how is it works... You pay $25 and I will put your link in my blog www.minterest.com. Now your link stays there life long or until I refund your full money back.... please express ur view on this plan...
Well, if someone pays you for a lifetime link, and you decide to no longer host it at some point, you'll probably have to refund the money either way depending on what type of sale agreement you reach with the link buyer...
yeah thats a problem... but many others are paying other members for some products or service now in that case what if they didnt give the service after getting paid.....
To build customers' trust you'll have to grow your blog and make it popular. $25 isn't much to pay but still, you can't hope to sell many links with a website whose only visitors are link owners and yourself... Besides, the domain itself has got a PageRank of "0" and you'd probably want to lift it up to get more interest from buyers.
The pagerank of your blog is 0.(correct me if am wrong).So $25 for an undefined period is little too much
Having the refund guarantee is certainly a nice concept, one that more webmasters need to follow, but there just needs to be more. Are you planning on making money by another means in order to pay people back? As in, will there be an expected roll-over for paid links? Will there be a guaranteed time limit on how long a link WILL remain? $25 for a link only lasting a week is not worth it, even with the refund. Any chance starting out with a lower fee? maybe more people would find an interest in buying an experimental link from a PR0 site for say, $5, rather then $25. *shrug* So yeah, think about it... I think you may have a "new idea" here and that your presentation just could be off. Good luck to you with all of this. Q
If I understand your concept it is as follows: You will sell "lifetime" links on your site, at this time, for $25. At any time, you can decide to "cancel" those links and return their money. Of course, they will have gotten the link for whatever period of time for free. Likewise, you will have use of their money for that period of time. I assume you would do that if you knew you could resell that same link for $50 due to an increase in popularity to your blog. In this way, you are not locked in to a one time sale of links.
Well, that's not something new like I was hoping, that's just good business thinking. *shrug* I think it's a fair deal to say the least, though, I have a premium paypal account, so I'd get charged that 3% anyway. Which I guess is not that bad of a deal assuming the link generates at least a bit of traffic.
exactly... i planned the same way... thta is once my site is more popular then i will refund the money and then sell again for say $50... my gain is that i will use the money for marketing or something like that... and then say i get $100 in sales and then i invest that money again... then say its doubled then i refund the money and sell the links again...
If you put a reasonable amount of guaranteed time on the link, then I bet you'll sell them, especially if that time limit is worth the investment.
okay.. suggest me a minimum guaranteed period..... also how many links should I sell? also should I reconsider the cost??? Is $25 more?
I don't know... But I do know that I'd not bother giving $25 to have it refunded in a week. It simply would not be worth my time. Find the link calculators (find some here) figure out how much it costs for your links on a monthly basis and go from there... Maybe promise at least half the listed time? That way, even if it is refunded it'll be worth the time investment and any applicable fees.
For new websites, I think page rank is not a big issue... BTW, how long does it take to rank your site?
Erm, yes it could work, however id recommend that you have a well established site with a good PR, its been online for at least 12 months etc to establish some reputation. the reason why is because people will be wary of buying lifetime links from websites which in 2 weeks time could close down cus the owner cant be arsed any more. there is no REAL certainty that your link will appear on a website for 12 months, let alone 12 years. if you can GUARANTEE that your website is here to stay, then i think you maybe onto a winner there. but how you could make that guarantee, and prove it i really dont know. good luck with it anyways.
Acutally that domain is almost 1 year old... It was a financial blog i changed that to a internet and tech blog....
