Make Money With Wordpress Themes
Please note that the following post needs an intial investment for you to make serious money online.
I’ve never actually done this, to be honest because it needs an initial investment. But this method works really well and you can rustle up a 400-500% ROI in a few weeks. So how do you do it?
Find quality designers. I’m talking about designer with past experience, those with good designs that get sold fast. Don’t buy designs from designers who take weeks to get their designs sold. Always check the authenticity of the designs. Buy these wordpress themes from them for $150-$200 per theme.
You can try and sell themes with full rights for a higher price and auction out links at the bottom for $40 - $50.
4 footer links - $160
Theme - $150
Total - $310
Profit -atleast $110
This is an awesome way to make money online. You just need to find the right designer.

Make Money Online With Social Network Traffic
One of the best methods to drive traffic to your site is through social networking. Building a list of friends on popular networks like Digg and StumbleUpon is difficult but you can make some serious money from these programs. Making money online with this traffic can be done only if you are ready for it properly. The number of visitors from the Digg frontpage is estimated to be around 50,000 uniques. If your server cannot handle this load, say goodbye to the days earnings.
- Make sure you have plugins like WP Cache and What Would Seth Godin do.
- Have a good CPM program that pays well for impressions. You might get up to $1 per thousand impressions.
- Be ready for the spike in traffic.
- Be ready to reply to the comments that might come along with the traffic.
Getting to the best social networks not only give you traffic but also excess exposure and large number of subscribers and you can also sell a few ad spots.
Get Traffic From Yahoo! Buzz
Yahoo Buzz has been my source for hot niches for a while. They have converted themselves into a Digg style service with Buzz Up links. They provide 14 different buttons for you to choose from and for your readers to publish your posts on Buzz. Yahoo Buzz gets better traffic than Digg in my opinion because of the exposure and the news appearing. Better traffic in the sense, better CTR.I estimate over 20K visits from the front page. Sure, Digg gives about 50K, but like I’ve mentioned, better CTR for Buzz.
Why don’t you give it a try?
Proof Of Niche Site Success
I’ve been talking a lot about making money online with niche sites, here’s my proof. I’ve posted below my analytics stats for my latest niche site.
This site is just 3 days old. I haven’t done much marketing and this traffic is just from SE. I have a few referral visitors because I posted a link on Yahoo Answers. I should say it’s doing alright for a new site. This can only get better with each day.
Directory Submission - Is It Worth It?
If you tons of free time and you don’t mind mundane work, sure go ahead. But if you do have a job, then don’t bother trying it. It’s absolute crap. It’s a waste of money and time.
For every proper submission to a directory, you will get a backlink. But I would advice you to do some good content management and link building in that time. Directory farmed sites are not appreciated by Google. Content can not only give you longer advantages in higher indexed pages and more search engine traffic. In the long run, you will make more money online with content than links. With good content, you will get good links.
SelfSeo.com - SERP Checker - Faulty
Now, this site ranks on the front page of Google for the keyword “serp checker”.
I tried to run a test for one of my niche site. The results were pathetic! I couldn’t believe all the hard work was for waste. I did a test. Check out the result below-

Easy Link Building For Niche Sites
Have you read these posts which will help you make more money online? .EDU Links For Free and Niche Site Marketing Progress
I usually build my niche sites using Wordpress because of the simplicity. I remove the “Catagory” and the “Pages” and the other sidebar headers. I just keep the “Recent Posts” column. So, it pretty much looks good and it’s ready to make money online. But how do you manage the incoming links without spending a penny? It’s quite simple. (Again, read the above mentioned article)
Replace the “x” with x as you main keyword and “powered by wordpress”. Comment on that blog with your link in the address section. There you go! Free links to your site.
If your content site is on an untapped niche, then 25-30 links are all you need to get to the front page in 5 days. You’ll be getting 30-50 unique visits everyday. Good ad placement will get you atleast 20-40% CTR. The revenue will depend on your niche.
Knowing what to place as your keyword is important. Get your main keywords from Wordtracker. That will give you enough of link sources.
Steady Earnings With Niche Sites
Something about a blog makes you feel secure. It’s mostly the feeling that you know that you will make money online with it. But a blog with no posts on it for a week is like a sinking ship. This is where content sites excel. Auto pilot earnings? You bet. Good content sites are like growing coconut trees. Plant the seed (content), water everyday (some commenting here and there, a bit of forum spam) and wait. The tree grows and as long as you turn back to it every now and then, you can be sure that it’s going to make money.
I’m stressing on the niche site market because of it’s potential. It’s a pain to see the slow visitor count and the low earnings for a while, but after a few months, you will notice the clear difference. Niche sites are where the future is. As a blogger grows in age, he will find that he has less time for serious money making online blogs. This is when he comes to a crossroad, blogs or niche sites? If he’s smart and knows what’s ahead, he will take the latter. You can make money online with niche sites. All you need is patience, a little work and good content.
