Well, to be honest I have been in Internet business since last 10 years, I know many of you have been from the very early days of internet when spamming was quite easy and tricking search engines was like a child play, so you became rich quickly and now playing in billions. But at the moment, tricking search engines and generating traffic and then generating more revenue form your websites has become difficult as compared to early days to internet, for the people who have just started and they want to make a living out of internet or they are just fed up with their day job, and looking for alternative. Let me tell you that you can make money form internet if you are dedicated and you think you can spend 2-3 hours of work daily on your business. If you cannot spend 1-2 hours only a day, then close the window and search google for “money making magic formula”.

What’s the plan ?

I sold one of my website for $65K about 2 month ago (I will not disclose my deals’ information so please dont ask) , now you can see that people sell websites at Sitepoint or other forums like Digitalpoint for these prices and sometimes even more highly priced, I was interested in a website for purchasing and was planning to spend about $80K on that, but that was sold for $145K at Sitepoint, here is the auction if you want to check. Yeah, that’s an image hosting website. So what I am going to tell you is how you can do the same and sell websites for a good profit, in the beginning you can easily make $600-$1000 per month, but if you keep working 2-3 hours a day on a single site, you will sell it for higher price for sure, but don’t expect that you will do nothing and become a millionaire one day. There is no magic formula. Anyways, we have 2 options here

1. Make 1 website, work hard on it, generate traffic, and then sell it.
2. Make many similar websites, and then sell them all.

What kind of websites sell ?

My answer will be ‘any kind of‘ ‘ . Yes, you can make any kind of website and sell it for high profits, the general rule for developing a successful website is that develop a website in which you have personal interest, like if you love hunting, go and build a website for hunting, if you love dogs, build a website about dogs. Now, sometimes it is difficult to sell niche websites (depending on the niche), so I will advice you to pick a general niche that is used by all the internet users. So, lets get start, if you follow m advice I can guarantee you will certainly make $600-$1000 in a month, and even more if you spend more time. The only investment will be getting a domain name and a hosting, so I think it may only take $15-$20 for you to get started with my plan.

We are going to develop an image hosting website, because if you check the sitepoint’s Marketplace, and the “Buy, Sell, Trade” section of Digitalpoint.com, WickedFire.com and other internet marketing forums, you will notice that these are the top selling websites and only 1-2 month old websites are sold for $1000-$3000 depending on their Alexa rank and traffic.

How long will it take to develop an image hosting website ?

I would say 10 minutes even if you are inexperienced. I know if you hire a freelancer to develop a custom script for you, he will take minimum of 10 days and charge you something around $600-$800 for such script, but hey we are not spending any money on that, lets go for the freely available scripts. This is not a perfect script, I know it can be bulky for large image hosting website, but we are only developing a website to sell, so its not bad for that, download the script here. Installation process only takes 3-5 minutes. Once you have installed this script, you are ready to move on the next step.

How to generate traffic for an image hosting site ?

Now, it all depends on YOU, how much work you put in it, however I will write a few steps that are extremely effective in generating quick traffic to an image hosting website. We all know the about 70% of the traffic is always looking for fun on internet, joining social networking website like MySpace, Orkut, Facebook etc, sharing pictures, looking for celebrity images etc. Now, the nature of our website is to target such people, so what we will do is find the website (specifically forums) where people are sharing pictures of celebrities, trust me the traffic suddenly goes up once you post 4-5 threads on such forums. 

You already agreed to spend 1-2 hours daily on this, so what you will do is visit a forum e.g. X1 forum, then find a specific thread where people are chatting and has too many views / replies, upload those pictures to your website, and then post those pictures on another forum e.g X2 with your own image hosting website link, that’s it. Just concentrate on 3-4 forums at a time, it will hardly take 1-2 hour per day but you will see a lot of traffic to your website, repeat the process for 20 days then you have some good stats to show and sell that site and move on to next website.

There are many forums that are specifically for celebrity images and are under 15K Alexa, receiving tons of traffic, we will just grab some traffic from them and sell our website.  If you manage to get 400-500 unique visitors per day you can sell it for $800-$1000. Good luck and do share your views and results. I love hearing from you :)..
