Website Ideas - $5 award for best idea

    This was originally posted in General Business, but I think I'll get more response from this area.

    You see all these threads started about how to make $XX per day. The domain dollarsperday.com was actually available, so I picked it up. I'm planning on using it with subdomains, for example 2.dollarsperday.com, 10.dollarsperday.com, etc...

    How would you go about monetizing this? Would you offer individuals the ability to purchase the right to build on a subdomain, promoting their offers and such, or just go through the process and build something myself for each one? I think an individual forum on each one would be overkill, but a simple wordpress blog would probably be great.

    Ideas? I like to recognize good effort, and I'll even throw in a $5 prize to the best idea.

    Make any web site but the popularity is the main thing of your monthly , daily income.You need to think about that first.

    I've thought about this, and I think I'm leaning this way. Just have to figure out what format to use for it. I don't feel like writing a brand new script for it, and there has to be something out there that will work.

    Or you just contact some of these people who put up/or have these x$ per day schemes and offer them a subdomain and a wordpress blog to put up their scheme, where those interested in $ per day ideas will look and read and contact the idea creator if they want

    You get various subdomain hosting and membership fees from the idea creators and maybe a small cut of their profits via your site

    So basically your site will be a supersite/directory for make $ per day schemes/ideas etc and those interested in them. A platform for X$ per day ideas to be displayed

    You need to provide some services to those who take subdomains, such as advertising or something like that

    Great idea!

    Just thought of this...
    What about a forum that has individual membership levels? Charge somebody to post a thread selling their product at a certain level of the forum (monetize off sellers), then offer free levels to a certain point for members. After a certain level, like $20 per day, charge the member to upgrade their membership status so they can access the higher levels. If you're selling a product that reliably makes $100 per day, then you will know that the people viewing and purchasing this product are serious about trying it out, and have more money to spend on their business. Then each person who has a thread for their product can provide support through the thread for people who buy it and are trying to work it. The members would get better support, the sellers would get people serious about their business (which means they'll work harder and get better results). Everybody would be happy, right?

    That's good . But you also need some attractive services from your side for the sellers, such as advertising, getting buyers to check them out etc
    So that they can be sure their product/scheme reaches as many of it's target audience as possible
    And for buyers such as some kind of seller value identification/identity verification/evaluation/review system. So that buyers feel safe that they aren't trying out some scammer from nigeria

    You could also provide secure ? webpages/subdomains on your website for sellers to present the case for their product/scheme properly and attractively to buyers at an extra charge
    If the sellers don't think they could present their ideas in a thread of the forum properly/attractively
    And also offer feedback/order systems on the same pages for buyer-seller interaction

    I wouldn't pay for a sub-domain, I would just buy a real domain. I'm not so sure that idea is viable.

    That sounds great, Lightless. Definitely the winner of a quick $5, plus I'll give you free access to the site for life (as long as that may be).

    Please PM your paypal and I'll get with you once the site is up and going.

    You could offer an online course for people to learn how to earn money with different levels - 1 dollarsperday, 2 dollarsperday etc. - Give away the first levels for free and charge for the higher levels. I hope that makes sense :D

    Wow thanks a lot. :)

    But the problem is that there are a lot of brilliant ideas out there.
    What matters more is the implementation and the capacity of the implementor.
    An average idea in the hands of a capable man is worth much more than the best idea in the world in the hand of an incompetent man
    Just a bit of philosophy :D

    well, here is what I think and it's free;)

    if you are gonna target people that want to make extra $$ online, then i would develop a site where these people could read all the updates on latest methods how to make money online. Make it free and later, when you have a traffic and reputation, start charging membership.
