My site is going 2 B launched soon. It's an entertaining site with news, cinema and practical & useful tips in life.\nOfcourse It comes in my mother toungue TELUGU, (Andhra Pradesh, India)with dynamic font. \nI am a good writer and I am not boasting, my content can attract a lot of people. ( I had 10 years of experience in Entertaining Journalism. )\nBut unfortunately I don't know any business tactics, and I am a big zero on commercial and marketing knowledge side. I heard that it is not hard to get ads If the content attracts many people. I am not money-minded. I would B satisfied if I can get some money to run the site, without making a hole to my pocket. That's enough. If anybody helps me with some good ideas I will B very grateful to them.

There are various ways to earn money through advertising. The hottest right now is contextual advertising - e.g. text ads that relate to a great degree (if not exactly) to your content. The thinking is that the more targeted the ad, the greater the response, and hence higher revenues for the publisher. \n\nBut contextual advertising does not work for everyone. It wont work if the types of visitors you attract is not in the mood to buy anything, they are not using your site as a mere jump-off point -- your site is THE destination. Hence, the visitors are not interested in clicking on your ads. Sites like yours do poorly with Adsense. You may want to read the article "Contextual Advertising: Why Are You Earning Only Pennies?" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/022006/adsense.htm which I think perfectly captures your predicament.\n\nA CPM campaign would work better for you given the type of website you have and the traffic you get. I suggest you read the article "How to Generate Advertising Revenues for Your Web Site" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol28/adrevenues.htm - you can join banner ad networks and select the campaigns offered for CPM (though some does not allow you to select the campaigns). Here are some of the banner ad networks:\n\nBurstMedia http://www.burstmedia.com\nFastclick http://www.fastclick.com\nTribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com\nAdvertising.com http://www.advertising.com\n\nAlso read the article "What to Look for When Joining an Ad Network" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol28/adnetwork.htm  for tips on what to consider when joining an advertising network

Some ideas:\n\n1. Create the best content you can. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. \n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; educate potential customers; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website.\n\n6. Carefully track your conversions. Getting traffic is one thing; getting them to buy your products is another thing. Watch how well you are converting your traffic to sales. Look at your website from a customer's point of view - does it encourage sales; does it encourage confidence; does it have a strong call to action? Sometimes, simple things can do wonders for conversion such as putting the BUY NOW button above the fold and using eye catching red color. Experiment and see what works for your site

"If you build it, they will come" is not necessarily true on the Web. Putting a website up is one thing, but getting visitors to come to your site is another. The process becomes even more difficult if you have limited resources to market your business.\n\nHere are some marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible: \n\n1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others. \n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!\n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. My website (see my profile) accepts free press release submission (no strings attached!)\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings. \n\nFor example, if you submit articles on my Getting Financing section of my site http://www.powerhomebiz.com/financing/financing.htm you will stand a great chance of reaching people who are looking for capital.\n\nThe above strategies are very simple to do, but they can bring in loads of traffic without spending too much. Of course, if you have the resources, you can also utilize pay per click strategies or other advertising mechanisms to reach your target audience.

"If you build it, they will come" .....\n\nThose words DO NOT APPLY to websites.  You have to give your audience a REASON to come.  \n\n* Free, useful information is one way.  How about "10 little known features of Windows XP" or "How to make PDFs without buying any software", or "How to test your Internet connection speed".  Or how about an "Inspirational Quote of Day"?  \n\n* There are lots of places to find FREE content for your site.  It's supplied by cyber-authors that want to promote themselves and THEIR sites.\n\n* Google Adwords does work, but there's a cost there.  If you can afford it, it's worth the money. \n\n* Pay attention to your metatags, keywords, page titles, etc.  The previous answerer gave good info on that.\n\n* Sign up for some free opt-in mailing lists.  You'll receive a lot of junk mail, but you'll have another avenue to promote your site.\n\n* Set up an affiliate program and offer good commissions.  A good affiliate program will give you lots of reps.\n\n* The world's dumbest jokes make their way around the world via e-mail.  Figure out how to use that to your own advantage.  Maybe you can put the first part of a joke in an e-mail, and the rest on your website.  Hmmm.\n\n* Join a free link exchange program.  \n\n* Join some targeted Groups on Yahoo.  Join the groups that seem most likely to need you services.\n\n* Offer reduced rates or reasonable rates to known companies.  Show them how your services are cheaper than hiring employees.\n\nGood luck!

I took a look at your site & I think it looks great. Everything is easy to find, it moves fluidly and is very easy to navigate through.\n\nNow your question is to whether or not you were on the right track...what do you mean exactly? And if you would "make it" in this market. I don't have to tell you that the clothing industry is extremely competitive, so whether or not you succeed is determined by your dedication, effort, time & sometimes just plain luck.\n\nTry reading up on the subject. I put links to relevant books that can be purchased through Amazon in the sources box.\n\nI also posted some links to articles online that might help you out as well.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

ClickNGoWeb is a new business based here in NC.  My student teacher's father got in on the ground floor;  she signed up shortly thereafter.  They know the owner of the company personally and can vouch for his intellect, character and reliability. They're already making money for doing nothing!  \n\nThe distributors have the option to sell lank template bwebsites or to make and sell websites or they can simply sign up early enough to reap the benefits of others signing up later.  I just signed up and I'm already #1365 to sign up.  My intern has already made her $189.95 back plus more, so I figure this to be a failsafe venture. You only need to get 2 people to sign up under you, then they get 2 they each of them get 2 more and so on.  The money is supposed to roll in slowly but steadily. I am but a humble schoolteacher with a small child and a husband who loves to golf.  I just want to live comfortably; I don't care about getting rich. \n\nFeel free to email me for more information. Cheers.\nCourtney

I once faced a similar situation as yours: I needed to design a website for a community helpline, and this place was a fantastic discovery:\n\nwww.rentacoder.com\n\nwww.guru.com is another place where you can place a competitive offer. The good thing is you don't have to pay anything in advance in both places, and there are plenty of people to choose from.\n\nI had my website built for $75 by an Indian, and he was fantastic I should say except for some spelling mistakes on the page which he promptly rectified without complain. The good thing is he worked 7 days time for that trifle amount. But, that was in 2004. Now, from what I hear, rates have risen a bit even in India. Still, it's a far cheaper alternative - try imagining screw an American for 7 days.\n\nIt's always advisable to bargain with Indians....most of them want to take US customers for a ride, but they are still your good bet cuz they are technically sound. Do your homework well and wish you good luck.

I dont mean to be mean with this answer, but do yourself a favor. Dont wait for people to come to you. Get out there and market yourself and your site. Just submitting your site is not an answer. Yes, you may get some more traffic, but there is no one on this planet better than you to do this.

since you are doing pretty well you must be good, and if you are good, I cant see your business failing with as many people as there is needing their websites done- GOOD LUCK!!!

You obviously have an idea of the niche market you want to go for if you are looking for sponsors?\n\nThere are many low budget, free webhosting however I agree that you would want something that actually works!  Tough call :)\n\nI personally use this service and have found them to be great..yes there is work involved but you will be guided step by step.  My site has been up for 6 months and I am already rated by Alexa at around the 500,000 mark with a google page rank of 3/10..if you know anything about online marketing that is good! :)\n\nAnyway...take a look and make your own informed decision...

I paid a visit today, to see what your site is all about. Hmm..it's not a web site after all but a forum instead. You have to understand, a forum is a place for communities - one of the hardest part is to attract visitors & indirectly persuade them to become a member. Not just a member but an active member.\n\n"So, what's your forum all about? I don't know. I can't figure it out myself". Maybe this is one of the most visitors asking themselves. I took a deeper look, weighing the topics and issues. What did I find? To be honest, I've been wondering there. Where should I go?\n\nTo have a successful forum, you have to be specific. Concentrate on 3-4 issues at first. Stick to the topic until the relevant division matured. Don't just jump into unrelated topics. That won't bring you any good after all.\n\nInvite as many friends as possible. They are your excellent tool to help boosting your forum popularity. Request their help to spread the news. Give certain rank to those pioneers - something like moderators, senior mod, regional mod etc. This will make them happy.\n\nWhy..What color are you using? BLACK! Believe it or not, psychologically, most people don't prefer to spend time reading white text for long. Also, dark background will not bring up the mood. Remember that. You want them to be happy in your forum - so create the mood for them. Something preferable by you doesn't mean it suits everyone.\n\nBe specific of what your forum is all about. Games? Money making opportunities? Blog? Whatever it is, describe it clearly in the header. You must let your visitors know, at a glance, what is your forum related to. Remember, a forum needs to be self-describing; not vice-versa.\n\nThe most effective way to attract more visitors to your forum is to contact webmasters who share the same topics like yours. Request a link politely and explain why it would benefit them of having a link exchange with you. Man, your way is long ahead. Just don't give up.\n\nHope this helps.

Do you have a presence on the internet?  That would be a great start.  After that, you can write press releases about your various business activities.\n\nSiteSell can help with creating a great web site for a low price and PRWeb has on-line tools for creating and submitting press releases.\n\nGood luck.

In the last few months i have been going through the net looking for such opportunities. Some are really a waste of time and money but others are worthwhile and cost a fortune. I however came across a website that provided an easy way to building a profitable Internet business. They provide training on how to get traffic, how to generate multiple streams of income, and so much more. All the information was presented in such a way that even a 10 year old could build an Internet empire. The best part of all is that it is absolutely free. That was what really amused me. \n\nhttp://giddy.payitforward4profits.com/\n\nSo the site can help guys who are already in other Internet businesses by giving them ways/strategies of building their businesses. Or for us newbies, it gives suitable ways of building our Internet businesses from scratch. Check it out and see what i mean. \n\nHope this will be of help in getting you started. \n\nhttp://giddy.payitforward4profits.com/
