How Creating Your Own Website Can Generate Passive Income

Nowadays, it’s very easy to earn a living without the need for a stressful corporate job. All it takes is a computer/laptop, a stable Internet connection, and of course, some patience and a little tech skills. One of the many ways people make dough outside the four walls of an office is through online work. And one perfect example of how you can generate passive income online is by creating your own website. Some people even make more money from their website than their stressful corporate jobs!

There are many platforms and tools that enable practically anyone (even your 80-your old grandmother or your 6-year old cousin) to create their own website from scratch. This is because these platforms are smart enough that you won’t even need to have some savvy programming skills to be able to make your website look good. All you need is some creativity when it comes to designing how your website looks and then these platforms will do the programming for you.

Among the most frequently used platforms, WordPress is the number one tool that’s being used worldwide across various niches. Small businesses such as restaurants, pet stores, and even sewage companies use WordPress to create their own website and use it to promote their range of products and services.

However, did you know that creating your own website can also help you generate a passive stream of income? This is through advertisements. Have you noticed how each website you visit has loads of advertisements all throughout the page – at the top, at the bottom, on the sides and in between the content? These are all advertisements related to what the website is all about and each time a visitor clicks any of these ads, the website owner will get some money from the advertiser.

Let me give you an illustration. Say for instance that you own a website about flowers and you are located in Los Angeles, California. A flower shop business in the area may put some advertisements about their business on your website and each time your site visitor clicks through this ad, you will be paid by the flower shop because essentially, you just led potential customers to their site. The more visitors who click on your ads, the bigger your earnings will be. The key then is to ensure that you post note-worthy content and be consistent with your niche.

Therefore, if you’ve got some free time with you, why waste it bumming around? Learn how to create websites with WordPress instead!

Can You Do Affiliate Marketing Without A Website?

With affiliate marketing you don’t actually need a website at all, and you can just simply direct your traffic straight to the product’s sales page.

But this isn’t the best idea. There are much better methods for earning affiliate commissions that just directing potential buyers right to the order page

So, why is it so important for an affiliate marketer to have a website?

There are quite a few reasons that can answer this question.

Having a website that you run on your own domain name and web hosting is yours. It can’t be shut down or deleted at any moment like it can be if you use a free blogging site.

Many affiliates have watched their hard work disappear with little or no reason for the deletion. If the blogging service has any doubt that you are spamming or using improper marketing tactics (even if you’re not), it’s likely your blog will be deleted without notice. With your own domain, you control what is removed.

Pre-Sell Your Customers

Also, it’s important that you pre-sell your potential customers a bit before you sending them the page where they can purchase an affilite item that you’re promoting. Connecting with your readers allows you to develop a relationship with them. If they visit your website and find that you have struggled with the same problem and have a solution for them, they are more likely to take you up on it and make the purchase. Sending the straight to the sales page doesn’t allow you to make that connection.

Build Your Email List

If you run a website related to the niche in which you are an affiliate marketer, you can have an opt-in form on your home page that will capture emails. This allows you to contact these people in the future to remind them of the perfect solution, or to offer them supplement products that you can promote as an affiliate.

This helps to further promote the trustworthy relationship you want to establish with your blog readers. Having an autoresponder connected to the opt-in form makes the entire process much easier.

As you can see, there are many reasons why it is vital to have a website if you are an affiliate marketer. You’re risking your business if you decide to use a free blogging service, as they can shut you down in a second. Also, money is being left on the table if you’re not connecting with traffic and offering them the perfect solution to their problem.

Banner Ads and Pop Up Ads: Which Is Better For Increased Website Traffic?

The internet is full of banner ads for every possible company and product you can imagine. Although many complain about the forms of advertising, there is not much difference in internet advertising and telemarketing phone calls to your home.

The interesting thing is however that web users prefer to be annoyed by internet ads over unexpected phone calls. This acceptance of ads has created a breeding ground for millions of pop-ups and banner ads on the internet. Sites use them individually or together, but some still wonder which is better for increased website traffic. Consumers have offered a response, perhaps not verbally, but with statistics of effectiveness.

Pop-ups are typically seen as annoying advertisements. Those that include blinking lights can even be hazardous to some users with certain medical conditions. They have been considered the most hated form of web advertising available. With pop-ups being so annoying however, consumers may wonder why they are still being used so frequently. The truth is that pop-ups are terribly aggravating, but they are indeed effective overall. For some crazy reason, there are millions of people who actually utilize them when they appear on their screen. This is partially due to many sites using pop-up ads as an excuse and reason for offering free services to site users. They will state that they must use these forms of ads in order to offer the site for free. Users, who don’t want to pay, but still want to use the site, will likely accept the excuse without question.

The trouble with pop-up ads these days are that there are many programs on a computer that will not allow pop-ups. This means that when a pop-up is meant to appear on your screen, your installed pop-up blocker program does not allow it to happen and instead blocks the advertisement from reaching you, the user. These programs are very effective most of the time and can cost advertisers a great deal of money if the ad is not reaching the intended target. Advertisers are now coming up with newly programmed pop-ups however that can bypass these blocker programs and still deliver the ads to your screen, whether you like it or not.

Banner ads began to appear on websites in response to the annoyance consumers felt from pop-ups. Advertisers thought that if banner ads were not as bothersome, they may offer even better results than the pop-up ads. Many websites began putting online ads in all available areas of their site. Upon doing so, they soon realized that although banner ads are not typically as bothersome as pop-ups, they are also not as effective. Advertisers began using banner ads less frequently. Many of the banner ads were not as noticeable as an aggressive pop-up ad right in the user’s line of vision. Some are off to the side of the screen and out of the direct eye contact.

Some advertisers would rather use banner ads when asked, because they seem more attractive to viewers. This may be more comfortable for the user, but it means something completely different to the advertiser. An advertiser wants their ad to be noticed, even at the user’s expense. They would rather annoy the user and get the ads noticed than the ads simply sit being unnoticed. In whole, advertisers were not seeing a large turnout with banner ads, and therefore many sites no longer use them for advertising purposes.

The answer to whether or not pop-ups or banner ads are best really lies with who you speak with. Consumers are more fond of banner ads than aggravating pop-up ads. Advertisers however, will tell you the exact opposite. They both have a place on the internet and their own group of fans. Advertisers will continue to replace banner ads with pop-ups because they are more effective. The power of the choice lies in the hands of the advertisers at this time and until users want to force them to change their ways, the advertisers will continue to support pop-ups over banner ads.

Rethinking Website Content – Content That Entertains

In case you’ve missed it, the Web has changed; it seems like just yesterday it was good enough to take all your brochures and advertising collaterals and convert them to digital format, add a little search engine optimization, throw-in a little PHP programming and bingo, you’ve got a website. And if you wanted to show how cutting edge your company was, maybe you’d add a little dash of Flash animation, or some royalty free music. Well here’s a bulletin from the frontlines, that isn’t going to cut-it in the new multimedia Web-business environment.

Almost daily I receive emails from people asking me to review their websites and tell them why they can’t convert visitors to customers even when they are attracting significant numbers of visitors on a regular basis to their sites.

The answer is both simple and complex: simple, because these websites fail to communicate the company’s message in a meaningful manner to their visitors, which means no dialog is opened, and without a dialog, no business can be done; and complex, because the implementation of the solution requires a new way of thinking about communicating with your audience using sophisticated presentation techniques that put a higher premium on creativity than they do on facts, figures and old-school direct marketing tactics.

If you are looking for a mantra to begin any new website initiative or to correct an existing website disaster: Think Audience Not Customers.

New Words For A New Web-Business Environment

In the past while I’ve run across three newly coined words or phrases (Communitainment, Branded Entertainment, and Snack-o-tainment) that attempt to capture the fundamental change that has taken place among Web-user expectations.

All of the new terms have two things in common: one, they require the marketer to think of website visitors as an audience and not as customers; and two, they all require the marketer to use entertainment techniques as the basis for delivering content.

Communication + Entertainment + Community

The Piper Jaffray Internet Media and Marketing research team recently released a report entitled ‘The User Revolution’ in which Safa Rashtchy coined the concept of ‘Communitainment,’ a blending of the words communication and entertainment. Rashtchy uses the term to denote the “melding of communication, community, and entertainment,” as a new formula for implementing the delivery of marketing content.

The report points out that “Video ads will be the driver of the next major growth in brand advertising …” with the Web being “the leading medium at work and the second leading medium at home behind television.”

For any business that thought they could conduct business as usual, this should be a wake-up call. The Web has changed: the market is no longer content to be informed, they must be seduced, and you are not going to seduce them with key-word density and biz-speak.

Contrary to popular belief you can deliver a marketing message faster, more powerfully, and with better recall using creative video presentations than you can with a page of text. Now no one is saying you shouldn’t have text on your site, but your copy better be damn interesting and well written if you expect anyone to actually read it.

Meaning + Sharing + Experience

The idea of ‘Communitainment’ provides a conceptual framework for creating Web-video presentations that work: your business communication must convey meaning through a focused presentation that uses all the various techniques available to the savvy Web-producer; your audience must see enough value in the presentation that they are willing to contact others in their colleague-community and share it; and lastly, the delivery of the message must create a memorable entertaining experience associated with the product or service provided.

Branded Entertainment

Leta Baker writes in her ‘Adobe Magazine’ article ‘Creative Persuasion: The Rise of Branded Entertainment’ about her concept of using entertaining online video presentations as a means of effectively creating brand awareness.

What Baker is talking about is video that doesn’t hit you over the head with a hard-sell sales pitch or bore you to death with meaningless platitudes, but rather presents entertaining short programs that companies can attach their brand to so viewers gain a memorable positive impression of your company. This is a long-term strategy that takes into account the reality that not every genuine prospect that comes to your website is ready to buy your product at that moment but might, when and if they remember who you are, when they are ready to buy.

There are many ways to implement this ‘branded entertainment’ concept and they all don’t have to be completely devoid of salesmanship. The Apple iPod commercials are an example of what I would call ‘branded entertainment,’ even if Leta Baker would object. Unlike most commercials that people race to avoid, the iPod commercials are actually anticipated: people want to know what Apple is going to come up with next, and the result: iPod has the lion’s share of the MP3 player market.

The Apple Macintosh commercials are another form of ‘branded entertainment’ that involves a sales pitch. Here we have an ongoing campaign with well-developed characters that the audience has gotten to know over the length of the campaign. The audience looks forward to what these characters are going to do next. This does not mean that every PC owner is going to run out and buy a Mac, but over time Apple is getting people to recognize their product as an alternative.

Because the commercials are entertaining, people are listening and waiting for the next installment of the campaign. Audiences are getting the message and that is all any good marketing campaign can achieve.

And here is the big hurdle for many small businesses: good marketing requires patience and should be aimed at opening a dialog, not just making a quick sale.

Most website sales pitches are like bad ‘pick-up’ lines: crude and ineffective; an audience needs to be wooed with tender loving care before you can expect to see any results. If you’re not willing to invest the time and creativity in opening a dialog with your audience, you can forget about using the Internet as a marketing tool.

Snack-o-tainment: Fast Food Entertainment

The term ‘Snack-o-tainment’ was used by Nancy Miller in her ‘Wired’ magazine article ‘Manifesto for a New Age” in which she equates consumption of new media to societies addiction to fast food. If the audience is addicted to entertaining media, we as marketers must feed that addiction.

It wasn’t that long ago that the biggest objection to online video was it took too long to load; now we see it compared to fast food. The fact is video can deliver a meaningful message in the quickest possible way because it conveys content using the full arsenal of communication tools.

We can look to television for a blueprint of how to deliver these bite-sized morsels of corporately nutritious, entertaining, marketing manna.

The thirty-second commercial is an example of just how much memorable content can be crammed into a short period of time if a little entertaining creativity is added to the mix. And unlike television, there is no costly premium associated with time on the Internet, so content can be as long or short as the message requires.

A campaign based on this formula can come complete with plot-lines, character development, and signature music all designed to deliver your marketing message in an entertaining way that will not only get stuck in your audience’s memory, but will be anticipated by that same audience. The famous ‘Taster’s Choice’ soap opera style campaign of years ago was one of the best examples of combining entertainment with a commercial message.

Even the lowly jingle can be resurrected to provide some ‘sit-up and take notice’ to an otherwise mundane presentation. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t know the recipe for MacDonald’s Big Mac, based on their fabulously successful commercials, even though they haven’t been aired in years. In fact MacDonald’s current roster of commercials are so forgettable that you wonder why they haven’t brought the old standby back to life.

Another bit of delicious marketing entertainment was the series of Chili’s Restaurant commercials featuring various singers interpreting their ‘Baby Back Ribs’ jingle, which provided far more entertainment in thirty seconds than a full CD of Britney Spears. More importantly that infectious ‘baby back ribs’ song has become deeply rooted in the public’s subconscious, and when the inevitable questions comes up, ‘where are we going to eat?’ that jingle starts playing in our heads. If you want to be successful, learn from what works.

Can You Afford To Wait

If your business is expanding as fast as it can with an ever-growing list of customers and continuously increasing profits, then perhaps you can afford to ignore the changes taking place, and the expectations of your audience. But if things could be better, and if you yearn to improve your Web-marketing, then you have to adjust to new ways of delivering content.

You can’t let out-dated thinking get in your way. There is a difference between twenty year’s experience, and one year’s experience repeated twenty times. There is no point in continuing to repeat old methods that no longer work.

You know things have changed so get ready to deliver your content in a way that will allow your company to become the next great Web success story.

What Makes a Good Website?

What makes a good website and what makes a bad one? There are many different aspects to a website that when combined, will make a dictionary definition of a good website. Some aspects of considering a website “good” is opinion based such as the appearance and graphics used within the site. People have different tastes, much like with homes, if everyone liked the same colors and themes, we would live in a very boring world. Appearance is only a small portion of what makes a good website, additional factors include content, usability and structure.

  • Content and site purpose: So you want a site or already have one, what is the purpose of your site and what do you want to accomplish? Before starting or continuing with your site, you need to set objectives and how you want visitors to benefit from using your site. The content of your site should always be kept up to date and reflect the main goal of your website. If your site’s objective is to sell computers, you obviously don’t want to write about how to change a tire.
  • Appearance: Appearance and the colors used strike an emotional reaction which can be used to make people feel a different way such as to buy. Different colors evoke different feelings. The psychology of colors is time proven and used by professional web designers to manipulate different messages to the users. A design should never be overly complex and confusing and the design should reflect the business and the service or product that you have to offer.
     
  • Usability: A website should be easy and intuitive to use, the navigation should be easily accessed on every page of your site. You never need to click more than 4 times to go to a specific page, a general rule of thumb is 2 or less clicks should get you to any page of the site. Complicated navigation structure will quickly frustrate your visitors and they will bounce quickly if they can’t find what they are looking for.
  • Site Structure: This aspect cannot be seen by your visitors but is crucial to having a good website. The foundation of your site lies within the coding and programming structure. A solid site should be openly usable in all browsers, all screen size, all operating systems and without additional plugins such as Flash. Large amounts of potential customers can be lost if your website isn’t compatible with different systems.
     
  • ISP: Your service provider (host) is also extremely valuable in a good website. Your host should have great uptime (99.9%+) and boast fast transfer speeds. When was the last time you stuck around for a site that took more than a minute to load?
     
  • Marketing: A good site should at least promote a good SEO practice and rank well within the major search engines.

Combine those key aspects and you will have a good website and if you ever need help with ensuring that you have a good website, Revived Media is always here to help.

The Language and Meaning of Flowers

Sweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing

Thomas Hood poem, The Language of Flowers

Flowers and bouquets of flowers have a meaning of their own. Most of us know that a dozen red roses means, “Be mine.” But did you know, for example, that a primrose means, “I can’t live without you,” or that a purple hyacinth means, “Please forgive me,” or that a pink carnation means, “I’ll never forget you,” or that a gladiolus means, “Give me a break?”

Flower meanings have been used to convey ideas, feelings and messages for centuries. The word, floriography, has been coined for the assignment of meaning to flowers. There is a meaning to colors of flowers, to numbers of flowers, and to groups of flowers. It is a silent language that has been largely lost to us through lack of use.

In addition to the obvious choices of color and variety, the language of flowers also includes the way flowers are worn or presented. Presenting flowers upright conveys a positive meaning, but if they are presented upside down the meaning is the opposite. If a ribbon is included with the flowers and is tied to the left then the meaning of the flowers refers to the giver, but if the ribbon is tied to the right then the meaning refers to the recipient. Also, flowers can be used to answer questions. When they are presented with the right hand the answer is “yes,” but when presented with the left hand the answer is “no.”

History

The Turks in the 17th century seemed to develop flower meanings. In 1718 the wife of the British ambassador to Constantinople, Lady Mary Wortley, wrote a letter expounding on the “Secret Language of Flowers” that she had discovered during her visits to Turkey. Europe quickly picked up on the concept.

In 1819 Louise Cortambert, under the pen name, Madame Charlotte de la Tour, wrote and published what seems to have been the first dictionary of the flower language entitled, Le Language des Fleurs. It was a small book, but it became a popular reference on the subject.

During the Victorian era, the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, the meaning and language of flowers became increasingly popular. Victorian women especially picked up the silent language that allowed them to communicate feelings and meanings that the strict propriety of the times would not allow. Tussie-mussies, a bouquet of flowers wrapped with a lace doily and tied with a satin ribbon became a popular and valued gift of the times.

In 1884 a whole book on the subject and entitled, The Language of Flowers, by Jean Marsh and illustrated by Kate Greenaway, was published in London. It became popular and respected and has been the standard source for Victorian flower meaning ever since.

Why Wireframes Are Important in Website Design?

If you have had a chance to work with a web designer or a web designing firm or have come across the term “Wireframe” while browsing the internet, you may have wondered what a wireframe is or what it is all about.

Here in this article I can help you to clear out all doubts regarding a Wireframe and specially realise the importance of wireframes in website design.

What are Wireframes?

Wireframes are simple black and white layouts that outline the specific size and placement of page elements, site features, conversion areas and navigation for your website.

For those of you who are looking to build a website, whether small or large, wireframes are the foundation to start. Wire frames are usually drawn after a site’s architecture has been determined by a site map or flow chart of the website’s pages and before the creative design phase.

What are the features of a Wireframe?

• Wireframes are devoid of colour, font choices, logos or any real design elements.

• They determines a site’s basic structure without any interior design elements.

Why should a web designer draw wireframe?

While drawing wireframes, web designers have the chance to focus only on user experience – the factor which matters most everything from conversion to customer loyalty.

• Designers are able to draw wireframes without the distraction of fonts, colours and imagery.

• Wireframes allow designers to work on the underlying elements of a website and eliminate the need for expensive changes in the long-run.

What is the importance of Wireframe in a website Design?

Wireframes are important in website design and it holds many advantageous reasons for being a major role player in the construction of a website. Here I have outlined seven extremely important reasons on why you need to wireframe.

1. Wireframes determines a website’s structure and layout

Most of us will have a long list of ideas in mind about features and content to be included before we start developing a website. While, wireframes help a designer to determine which elements should be included in each page, and the functionality requirements that need to be set in place for those elements. So basically, a wireframe creates a solid page layout before the actual design is being implemented.

2. Wireframes clarify Website features

Wire framing specific project features of a website provides a clear communication to a client as to how these features will function on a specific page and to decide whether it should be included or not.

3. Wireframes pushes usability to the forefront

Wireframes pushes usability to the forefront by forcing one to look objectively at a website’s ease of use, conversion paths, naming of links, navigation placement and feature placement. Wireframes can point out flaws in your site architecture or how a specific feature may work.

4. Wireframes cut costs by avoiding repetition in design

Wireframes ensure that all the elements such as functionality/layout and branding aspects of the website are taken in one at a time. This allows the clients to provide feedback earlier in the process. While skipping wireframes delays this feedback and increases the costs of making changes because full design mock-ups must be reworked, not just simplified wireframes.

5. Wireframes save time on your project

• A wireframe can make your design to go ahead more calculated.

• You and your clients know what you’re building.

• Content creation becomes much clearer.

Top Reasons Why People Fail at Website Flipping

Although there are tons and tons of success stories within the world of website flipping, you’ll undoubtedly find that there are more people who actually fail than succeed! Needless to say, this is bound to be quite worrying – but the fact of the matter is that most of the people who do fail at this business actually do so for some pretty common reasons.

Knowing these reasons will undoubtedly help you to ensure that you never end up suffering from the same issues.

As you might expect, the top reason why people fail at website flipping is that they simply fail to take action, or take action and then give up to easily, or don’t bother to learn what they should be doing. All of these problems really are the top reasons why people fail at most things related to internet marketing in general – and they apply equally well when it comes to website flipping.

To be more specific however, there are a few website flipping related reasons that you should watch out for too.

First and foremost, one of the biggest problems that beginners face when they first try to flip websites is that they have no idea how to evaluate certain websites. What this means is that not only do they not know how much they should be buying certain websites for, but they also won’t know how much they should be selling their website for. Needless to say, this is going to be the start of a vicious circle that can only end very, very badly!

Next, another big problem that most everyone faces at some point or other is the fact that enhancing and improving websites before flipping them is never as easy as people think it is. In fact, it is actually an extremely involved area that starts with evaluating a website to see where it can be improves, before actually implementing those improvements! Those who have prior experience in internet marketing, web development, or even just traffic generation will undoubtedly find this less of a problem than complete beginners.

Last, but certainly not least, one of the other major reasons why people fail at website flipping is that they don’t develop a plan as to what they intend to do. Without a plan, you’re going to find that despite the fact that you might put in a lot of effort into improving websites, those efforts will be untargeted at best and so you won’t obtain results that are as good as if you’d actually sat down and planned things out. More importantly, some of those results might not even manifest themselves till after you’ve flipped the website!

As you can see, there are many reasons why people fail at website flipping. All that you need to do now is make certain that you don’t number among these people!

Become a Reseller to Increase Website Traffic

In order to make money online, you need to find a way to get people to come to your website, and turn those visitors into customers so you can make commissions very fast and extremely easy.

Let’s consider Google and Facebook for a moment. How are they able to make the kind of money they make when they are not even selling any products?

Both platforms are completely free to use for life, and yet they are earning millions of dollars a year in revenue. The way they’re able to do this is by allowing paid advertising on their platforms. When people click on a sponsored ad, they will be taken to a website owned or operated by someone else, and Google or Facebook gets paid per click.

Traffic is the most valuable commodity on the internet, and that will never change. Instead of selling a product or service that someone may or may not want, you will have a much higher conversion rate when you show them how to increase website traffic, which is something that every business owner needs.

Becoming a traffic seller is the secret to creating long-term wealth in any online business. There are millions of people around the world who have their own online business, and they all have the same problem which is getting high quality traffic to their websites. When you have an online business, more traffic equals more money.

Business owners are constantly searching for new premium traffic methods and systems so they can generate more leads and sales a lot faster than trying to show them how to increase website traffic organically. This is where you come in. As a traffic seller, you can meet the needs of every online business owner by providing them with the traffic tools, and training they need to be successful.

The number one complaint business owners have is the quality of traffic that they purchased. Unfortunately, all clicks are not created equal. The problem with cheap traffic is that it floods your website with a ton of visitors who are not interested in what you have to offer, and this does not do them any good.

The way you will be able to make money like Google and Facebook is when these business owners keep coming back to you for more traffic. You will be paid over and over again without having to hire thousands of employees or deal with the overhead of a large company.
