Internet Home Businesses

I can finally say that I am running a few Internet Home Businesses. My third one has been up and running for exactly 30 days and has already some amazing results. Not in Dollars, but in how I structured it and how I enjoy working it.

The second Internet home business is actually this site. It is the playing field where I learnt to use Site Build It

In the process I realized that there are certain things that I really enjoy doing and that I am good at. Others I had to drag myself to do. And as you well know from other pages, I want to do the things I enjoy doing. Here is the research I did before starting the project.

My original concept did not quite work out; I wanted to find a writer to partner with to produce the site. So instead of sharing the risk, I have decided to pay a writer. I found him at Elance.com

But I stayed true to my original concept of letting the writer choose the topic. I had 9 different topics and some preliminary research put this specific one way above all others.

Our emails back and forth were also inspiring and so I hired him. 

To run Internet home businesses you need a team

When he was on board and I had research the topic for the most lucrative keywords (all possible through the Site Build It package), we decided on a site structure.

Then he started writing, and I produced the first few pages.

My next step was to engage a graphic designer to give the website a great look and feel. (I should have done that before I actually started producing, but I did not have the guts to spend more money. Until I realized that it is all about the very best quality).

A programmer is the next member of the team; he translated the web-design into robust html code that I can use as a template for each page.

I know that a lot of people offer both (web-design and coding), but I have found that they are usually great in one area, but not the other. So I prefer to co-ordinate between them for the best outcome.

The Outcome

A website for freelance writers who are just starting their career. 

After 30 days, these are the stats:

  • It's got 31 pages, most of which are indexed in Google and Yahoo (10 in MSN) 
  • Two pages are on spot No 20 in Google 
  • 434 total visitors, yipee. 
  • 36 inpointing links, 251 internal links according to Google 
  • 73 inpointing links according to Yahoo.
  • An Alexa Ranking of 1,249,000. 

There is no money being made yet, but that is the case in most businesses: You need to invest first and concentrate on small results along the way.

The other ingredients

Really detailed research before actually investing. On a broad level for the best topic and the best writer and on a more micro level for the individual keywords that promise to provide the best outcomes.

A system that automates a lot of the technical tasks that are necessary in getting a site to rank well with the search engines. With Site Build It, I’ve got that.
