FranchiseKey:

Do you ever get the feeling you are missing out? Currently, there is so much talk about social and business networking websites that you might think you are the only one not taking full advantage of them. Don’t worry – you’re not. Most of us still haven’t quite caught on to the power of this new media.

To help improve your knowledge of this subject, at the forthcoming Franchise Supplier Showcase www.franchisesuppliers.co.uk the guest speaker will be a web marketing expert. He will be giving the audience an insight in to social and business websites and in particular how a franchise network can make money from them.

Web marketing expert Paul Tansey of Franweb commented “Trying to keep up with developments in this area is a full time job – in fact we have to dedicate members of our team to just one of the social and business networking sites each. Only by concentrating on one can they stay abreast of changes.”

eJuror
If you don’t mind being called up for “jury duty” then working as an “eJuror” may be more your style!
eJury hires clients to work as “test jurors”.

e-Jury founder Christopher Bagby told Action News, trial lawyers hire online test jurors so they can get an idea on what will happen during jury deliberations before heading to court.

E-jurors review cases and give their judgment.

Using e-Jury, you can make from $5 to $20 a case.

Another site offering a similar opportunity is trialpractice.com

Product Tester
“Manufacturers want to know what consumers think before they change a product or bring a product to market,” said Peter Grubb with Reckner Consumer Opinion Research.

Grubb hires consumers for taste tests and focus groups done at local research facilities or, yes, even in your own home!

So what types of products are tested?

“Beverages, frozen food, paper products, hygiene products and then it’s just not those items. It’s credit card services, telephone services, cable services, bank services,” added Grubb.

Testers can earn anywhere from $30 to as much as a few hundred dollars per survey!

Compensation is determined by product and time put into the survey.

Action News also found these online Survey Savvy and American Consumer Opinion which offer similar opportunities.

Representatives from both companies told Action News you can expect to earn from $2 to as much as a hundred dollars a survey!

Tutor
And here’s an opportunity to channel you inner teacher.

A number of websites hire online tutors including tutor.com

1. Choosing the right niche market – you should choose a niche market that is in a growth market and has demands. People mostly interested to buy the website that is in a niche that can generate traffic and has products that they can promote within the niche.

How to find the correct niche market? Firstly you need to conduct research processes. To do research you start with keyword tools like AdWords or Wordtracker. By doing this research you can see what kinds of websites and keywords are popular and most people searches.

Another tool that is also useful is the Google Trends tool. Google Trends tool helps you to forecast the profitability of the niche markets in the future.

When you find a website that you might be interested in, select some keywords related to that website and use your keyword and trend tools. If those tools indicate the upward trend for that niche, then you are on the right track and the website you are going to flip will be profitable.

2. Driving Traffic – always make sure the website that you are going to flip has traffics that already flow in. Nobody wants to buy a website without much traffic.

You must also provide proof that you have the traffic as you said such as traffic referrals, search engine referrals, unique visitors, returning visitors, which countries they come from, visit length, and others. Traffic is a key element in deciding whether or not a buyer makes an offer on that website.

3. Proof of income generation
Other important factor before you can flip the website successfully is to show that the site is already making money. People prefer to buy a site while it is on the uptrend, rather than when it is on the downtrend. In most cases, flipping process completed rapidly, so it should not be a problem. The estimation of future income can be made based on the current income provided by you and how long it will take to gain back their investment.

As with the traffic generation proof, the proof of income generation is also an important factor when you flipping website.

Anybody can say that the website is generating income, but you need to prove it so that people will make offers on your site.

You can show screenshots to prove the money generated by the website as you said. More tips here.

BBC:
The advertising slogan says that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But at Blogworld Expo it was more likely to appear online, either written up on a website, as a photo on image sharing sites such as Flickr, or as a video clip uploaded to YouTube.

Blogging has continued to grow in the last few years, and organiser of the Expo, Rick Calvert, was delighted at the diversity of those attending.

“Look at the topics that people here are covering – sports, politics, religion, technology, finance and military bloggers to name just a few. We have had attendees flying in from around the world, but the one thing that links them all is their passion for this new media.”

It is the connections between these groups, and the spirit of sharing that was on show both at the conference and online every day, that drives the rich and diverse modern internet.

Both the individual blogger and the larger media companies are looking for ways to make the business of blogging profitable.

One of the rules of thumb that came up on the panel discussions at BlogWorld was that there is still the same amount of advertising money out there, but rather than be restricted to a few media conglomerates, it is being shared out a lot more.

Sharing culture… read on.
