Well i am a 15 year old buiness person who is intrested in making money from forums. Im not looking for 100k figures just an income for an everyday 15 year old. I am willing to spend alteast 5 hours into it a day. I have alot of experince in forum making. Can anyone provide links to a free forum site (meaning there i no advertising and i can sell the space) If not can anyone provide sites for real good working survey/ fast paying sites for the money to buy my own forum space. Any Help I Thank You Ahead Uhm im not sure if i am allowed to post my email but if its not any mod please delete. Freemanjust@yahoo.com Please no spam mail
You may want to sign up hosting for free without advertising, freehostia etc provides fantastico or fantastico-like plugins to allow you to setup your own forum. This will allow you the maximum flexibility to design your forums and put in your adverts.
I would also look for sponsors for your projects... (it is hard, but if your idea is great enough, people will invest). Don't waste your time on paid per survey or paid per click programs, they pay pennies Invest your time in trying to learn more about the online market instead.
Would this enable me to sell the advertising space? And do i need to give a percentage of my profits to the original host sites I have studied on the internet online markeing but i just have no startup money i would look for sponsers but then i dont want people to steal my idea
For most free hosting space, you can sell advertising space privately (if the advertisers do not mind it). If you are going to join a program to find ad space to sell, some specify no free hosting sites (unless you have your own .com domain, they cannot detect that ) Profits from ad sales: no need to share profits to them.
Privatly meaning i contact them myself and not use yahoo google or msn? By the way thanks to everyone helping out never knew all this information was out there.
Yup. You need to look twice if you are using YPN or Adsense! If you can get your own domain at least (it's worth the $10 investment) and use free hosting, it will mask the fact that you are using free hosting.
I dont even have the 10$ to buy myself a domain name. I got a question though When i use a free hosting<--- thats just webspace correct? And if i buy the domain i can click some options and automatically my freehosting url will change to my bought domain name?
Free Hosting can mostly give free sub domains or they can host your own domain. register.com does offer 1 year dot.com domain registration for free. But you better ensure you can pay the $35/year renewal fees next year or maybe transfer out to a cheaper registrar. Do take note that their transfer is a tad more complicated than most as you would need to call in to get the auth code.
Yes, you can hook the free hosting to your domain (so it will show domainname.com/page.html) instead of having your domain name mirror the site (which is really bad for SEO). The option that you need to change is the nameservers. The free hosting will provider you with this, which you add into your domain name.
Get a blogger account and start blogging about something. Keep adding content and add the site into all the directories you can get your hands on and then add Adsense to the pages. That would be my choice But, if you need starter cash, go to the service section and do some forum posting services. You can get your $10 in a week or so if you work hard. This will get you a bit of reputation on the forum and that can get you access to the great deals on this forum. Then, move from the free hosts to a paid host (check the services section for great hosting offers) and start on a site.
Very good point! With blogger, it is a free hosting for blogs PLUS you can use google adsense on it (since it's owned by Google).
I have no money and im trying to keep this a secret from everyone and no my mom wont let me have 1$ to spend on the internet she thinks all i go is play games
I would recommend you read here for a few days and explore! As it was mentioned, depending on your skills, you may be able to make some money here to get you headed in the right direction financially. I know that at 15 you may not think you have much to share in a blog but consider who you are, where you live and what we might want to know about your world! On the other hand, maybe, find a subject you love and become an expert about the subject and share what you learn as you go. There are always people newer than you are. Finally, this and other forums are worldwide in scope and I always wonder where in the world you are. To all non-native English writers seeking help, if you feel comfortable doing so, please share your native language, especially when you are just beginning. It can help us generate ideas when we give you input. For example, if you speak and write Spanish natively, you have a huge growing worldwide market. The UK and US are big markets but many other great opportunities await you and they are less saturated many times. Finally, remember your technical skills. I have many friends that wanted to make money in the Internet Marketing world but were best suited, and make lots of money, selling their technical skills from database to graphics.
So long as you are passionate and commited I think we could probably do something together, i will send you an email with some more info...
Don't go with a free host :/. Honestly, if you don't have ~$10 to start, then you should probably mow a few lawns to get that money. Then come talk to me, I'll help you get your hosting and forums set up as well as customization/adsense and stuff.
If you can write top ten lists and other viral content (it's quite easy), join Triond. I started out with $0 online and Triond has probably been my biggest source of revenue. Basically, you write articles and they publish them on their sites. They pay on a CPM basis - about $0.50-3/thousands visits. Write a viral top ten list and submit it to Stumbleupon - I make an average of $10 per article. It's basically a hit-or-miss process as my highest earning articles have netted me $100+ while my lowest have gotten me pennies. They pay monthly by Paypal. Good luck.
Yea i am in the process of making articles on MMORPG online. And My blog has no visitors as of yet. So i can post my article on my blog and when people see they will pay me to copy paste on to thier site?
