10 kinds of Websites not to make if you want to make money off them!
Posted by Barry in Other, websitesI see many people making websites and trying to make money off them because other people did. The market is so saturated for some keywords now. Such as proxies and myspace sites, sure its debatable that you can still make money off these websites but you need something unique that not other site is already offering or else you just are not going to make it.
There are so many proxy and myspace sites as well as tutorial index sites now. While the main ones stick out from the rest its hard to believe how low some people will go to make money off their site. example: pop under ads etc. If you truly want to make money online you should make a site that is unique and update it frequently and you should be making money off it in no time.
When I say make a unique site don’t make something like vaselinefansite.com because that’s going to get you nowhere. There is no interest in it, if you think there wont be any interest in your site or you don’t think you can make money off it, if your intention is to make money off it, then simply don’t do it!
With out further rambling here is the top 10 kinds of websites not to make if your intention is to make money off them.
-  Myspace resource site, there is to many of these already!
- Tutorial Index, unless you have something unique to offer your not going to beat the big guys
- Personal Blog, Unless you are someone famous ie john chow and write interesting stuff no one is going to read it.
- Digg clones, people will hate you!
- Joke sites, these are beaten to death, you might as will light your money on fire if you make one of these.
- Dating sites, who is going to visit your little dating site when there like 25 out there already.
- A site about making money online, unless you are making serious money online you shouldn’t make a site about making money online what do you have to offer?
- Made for adsense sites, sometimes you can make good money with these sites, but they are totally useless and just piss people off. If you can get a good keyword domain go for it.
- Image host - Your not going to make big money online making a Image host, its pretty hard to beat out the top guns on this one.
- Webhosting - Unless you know someone already in the biz its hard to get into. There are so many great hosts out there such as http://bluehost.com
That’s it for my top 10 list of sites not to make if you plan to make money off them! If you agree or disagree leave a comment and let me know!
