Secrets of success: How to make money online using the content of other sites
How to make a site really interesting? How to attract more traffic to a site? How to make money without any investments? I bet that there is no a single webmaster and site owner that has never had such thoughts and asked such kind of questions. And it’s natural since every owner of a site or even a blog wants its ‘creature’ to be super interesting to attract more traffic that can easily be generated into money. There is nothing complicated with creating of such a site to earn more money online. So, what do you need to get your site most visited?

Topic. First of all you should clearly define the field you want to work in and to follow it strictly. Consider all your competitors, evaluate their sites and offer something special that has never been covered before by your rivals. 

Design. Think thoroughly over the design of the site since it is one of the most important things because all of us know a famous saying ‘first impressions are half the battle’. Consider any trifle, any nuance and slightest detail, even a smallest button or link to win the battle. The design of the site should be completed and considered as a unit. 

If you are not good in designing you may address the firms which focus exclusively on the design of the websites. They will consider all your requirements and offer you several templates to choose from. The only disadvantage of such companies is the price. Good job usually costs good money, and the real professionals will never sell their talents for cents. You also should remember that in such firms the price includes not only the job of a designer but other expenses that the firm carries. 

You may go to the freelance websites. Some people are mistaken when think that the freelance websites are just for the amateurs. Freelance sites are a great opportunity to make some extra money in addition to the primary income.

But what if a person has no money at all? To leave your hopes and desires? No! Today there is a great number of services offering free templates for your sites, and in the current situation those services come very handy. 

Content. Once having chosen the design it is time to think about the content of the site. It is very important to keep to the subject you have chosen. So, for example if you want to devote your site or blog to cars and other vehicles you shouldn’t write the news about anything else, even if that piece of news is the hottest one. It means that if you put an article like “Sensation: Michael Jackson was murdered!” It definitely will attract new visitors to your site but at the same it will disappoint your devoted readers and even get them annoyed, since they came to your site to learn about the hottest news in the car industry but not in show business. 

So, where to find the content? Again you may to some companies dealing with content writing, or you may go to some freelance sites. In other words everything is like with the design creating but for one thing. You may order a design, get it created, pay for it and forget about this problem. With content the things come different. If you want the visitors to come frequently to your site consider frequent content update. Depending on the service you offer you may consider several options. So, for example, if you have an informative site dealing with news and articles you should update the information daily. For this purpose you must either write the content yourself or hire at least one copywriter. Of course you may find new copywriters each time however it is better to have the same people everyday since the styles of the people are different and it will be difficult for the regular readers to get used to all those changing styles. 

But what to do if you have a service that is far from being the informative one and you have no content to be changed frequently? Stay boring? No! You may use the content of other sites. More over, they will even pay you for using their content! Seems crazy? - Yes! It is a joke? – No! Here we speak about the informers. 

Informers are the special news blocks offered by various news sites. The site owners just install such informers and enjoy the life. Having installed those newsblocks you can be sure that your visitors will enjoy the news and you will be paid by the site of the informers installed for the satisfaction of you readers. 

What are the advantages of the informer? 

• the hottest news updated daily;
• additional traffic to your site which come from Google search engine;
• a steady income from the informer owner;
• news in informers will attract people who will enter your site not only to use service but to read the latest news as well.

May be it seems you ridiculous but it is true. Let’s take our journal. Having clicked on the banner in a left column you will automatically redirected to the page of the Affiliate Program (http://ecommerce-journal.com/informers). Once opened the page you may see the terms of the so-called partner program according to which we offer you to install our news informer on your site and to get paid for every click on the news appeared in your Ecommerce Journal informer.

Let’s consider each item separately. Our journal provides 25-35 news and articles covering e-commerce, investments, forex, trading, payment systems, banks, plastic cards and many subjects. The news are updated 24 hours a day and offer a full picture of the situation in both online and offline economics. So, having installed the informer of the Ecommerce Journal you can always be sure that your visitors will always keep the track of the latest events. 

One more advantage of the informer of the ECJ is that the news and articles contain various keywords that attract the visitors. When some users look for some information in Google or some other search engine, and the Ecommerce Journal wrote about topic, your site will surely be listed among the sites which covered that topic, therefore the readers will come to your site. And since the Ecommerce Journal writes about such popular issues like how to make money online, how to gain an additional income let alone daily news about such popular online payment systems as PayPal, Moneybookers, WebMoney, Perfect Money, LibertyReserve, AlertPay and others. 

And the last but the most pleasant issue is a steady income. So, according to the partnership terms of the Ecommerce Journal we pay $0.1 to your account paid for every click on the news appeared in your Ecommerce Journal informer. All the payments are made once a month. May be $0.1 seems you a small amount but just consider the perspectives! Let’s become the accountants for a few minutes. So, let’s imagine that everyday your site is visited by 100 people. If half of them click on the link of the informer one time it means that you will receive $5. If we count all the days we will get the following formula: $5 x 30 = $150. Yes, may be $150 is not a great amount but you should admit that it is pleasant to get that money especially since you generate it from the service which is also profitable for you. And of course, the profit can be higher if your site has more visitors every day. 

One more good thing with the ECJ informer is that you may edit to match the design of your site. So, you can change the appearance of the informer, set up a number of the news in one block and hence to change its sizes. In other words the Ecommerce Journal has considered all the nuances and created its informer so that it becomes an excellent add-on for your site. 

It will take you only a few moments to install the informer on your site. Once installed you need just to check your balance in the ECJ account, and to enjoy the growing income as well as the appearance of the informer with the fresh news on your site.
