Hey guys! After years and years I finally created my own website. The URL is http://www.hybridcarfreak.com I am going to update the site on a daily basis, add new reviews, articles, news... My first goal is to make $10 daily. What do you think how long does it gonna take to reach my goal? My other question is, how would you advertise a blog/website like mine? Thanks
Website looks nice but it takes forever to load. Should be pretty easy to monetize with BANS car store. As for advertising article submission and forum posting are pretty good.
Very nice design and a great idea too. You definitely have awesome potential with that website and DigitalPoint will really help you make the best of it.
Your site looks great but what are your plans for monitization? Are you going to have leads for dealers? Making 10 bucks a day isn't too hard on the internet but you definitely need to know where you want to go. I didn't see where the money was going to come from so it is hard to determine where you should advertise. Of course many of the free avenues of advertising can be used such as videos on utube, article marketing, ezine advertising, etc. good luck on your adventures.
Very clean and attractive site Gery. I would say buy some links on automotive blogs etc... Also sign up to some hybrid forums and become an expert and place your link in the sig.
Site actually looks very nice indeed! One thing that I should point out is that some of the white letters on the white cars cannot be seen... perhaps try adding a "stroke" to the letters so there's an outline on the letters, making them easier to read? As for advertising, I would suggest emailing others with hybrid car sites and asking for link exchanges. Also, any green car merchants *or green merchants in general* will probably have an interest, so shoot them emails too. The key to getting advertisers on your site is you have to make the first contact... I find it rare (unless you have a big established site) that merchants will find you.
I love your site. You have a nice layout and design, and the review content is good as well (many other sites have poor reviews, so you are certainly standing out).
Nice site! This is a great niche'. Your path to success begins: you've got your objective ($10 daily) and a basic strategy ( update the site on a daily basis, add new reviews, articles, news...). Keep notes about your objectives and strategy for this project. I might suggest you include an opt-in newsletter box on your site to collect leads. Adding this to your strategy will help you make a lot more than just $10 per day.
really neat site.. apart from the updates and all. i suggest you a put a bit of effort and money in marketing since its a newly started site. Do the marketing stuff when you have quite a bit of content on ur site though... for the best marketing strategies , u can always make a thread.. DPers r a helpful lot
With daily updates I think it's safe to say this website has a huge potential. Keep up the good work -- I can't even think of any suggestions. Perhaps keep news on electric cars in addition to hybrids, that should attract some supplementary viewers.
Wow...It is really a perfect blog. The best method to attract traffic is signed up with entrecard blog and get few visitors for 1-2 months. Then you can maintain the visitors as loyal readers by few simple tips... Try to submit few articles to article directories like ezinearticles.com, isnare.com,etc. Get signed up with adwords to get real visitors from Google.
Ha! We've all been there. I'll give it a week (max) Nice looking site though - best of luck with it. James.
