Creating a Theme-Based Website - Make Money with your Hobby!

You provide great information to your website visitors, send out an informative newsletter & perhaps create a community with a message board or chat rooms for those interested in your theme.

But how do you make money?

The Upside
- you don't have to handle any of your own sales
- you can simply choose a subject you love & build a whole business around it

The Downside
- keeping track of your affiliate programs can sometimes be overwhelming
- because you provide information resources, you constantly need to ensure you are providing up to date information
- If you offer interactive services (message boards, chat rooms, etc.), you will likely have to provide some technical support.

Biz Tips
- Concentrate on building a quality website with keyword rich pages. This will help drive visitors through search engines to your website.

- Don't simply paste affiliate banners on your site. It's not effective. Incorporate your product recommendations into your website content.

- You will sell better if you have tried the products. Don't lose your shirt, but do try to use the products you are recommending.

- Your key to success is building your newsletter subscriber list & driving traffic to your website ~ the more people read about you, the more they will trust your recommendations.

- Add interactivity to your site and make your visitors feel like they're a part of your website. This can be through chat rooms, message boards, discussion groups, a calendar of events, online seminars and places to post their articles and opinions. Don't forget to also interact with your visitors as well. Answer all your email in a friendly and helpful manner.
