First off – I’m going to be relaxing in the middle of the month, so need some guest posters. My birthday is coming up on August 17th, and in true TUK style I’ll be taking a break from online stuff. The contest where you can win a Nintendo Wii ends on the 15th, but for all other days from the 10th – 20th I’ll take some guest posts if you guys are up for them.

Guest posts on here can send you some traffic (a study done a while ago showed that TUK sent over 200 visitors for a paid review, and each post tends to get an average of 20 comments) and at the very least you get decently powered links / exposure. As for topics… internet marketing, make money online, entrepreneurship, blogging tips topics would be great… specifically the former three. :)

This is not a review of any sorts, but a post that should help you guys.

I’ve written up a few things that will make you guys money, but how about posts that will save you money? Money saved is as good as money earned, especially as you can invest it in other things.

I only found out about this recently thanks to a friend, so it’s likely at least a few of you haven’t heard about it.

If you’re looking for a cheap, reliable place to buy domain names, Name.com is the place to go.

Now personally… I buy around 5-10 domains per week, some to develop, some just to keep. The majority of these are .COMs.

Previously, I used to pay $7.15 using the coupon code OYH3 at GoDaddy or $9.29 (using no coupon code) at Namecheap… the Namecheap registration comes with private WHOIS thrown in.

Although for my public sites I couldn’t care less about privacy, for my niche websites I prefer being able to not be found out through a simple WHOIS search.

My savings increased tremendously when I found Name.com though… .COM domains not just cost only $6.00, they also come with FREE private WHOIS!

For me, that’s a savings of minimum $15, maximum around $30+ per week. At the minimum amount, that’s $60 monthly… I could rent another two virtual private servers monthly with that, or get a cheap dedicated one. There’s a whole lot of better things you could do with that monthly.

The service is legit and they’re not going to scam you… from what I’ve heard, you can also pay with unverified Paypal accounts which should help some of you that are underage and can’t get them verified.

Now you really have no excuse not trying out the whole site flipping thing… with a domain costing $6, and your first month of hosting costing $0.01 if you use the coupon code wordpress or jury at Hostgator, you have nothing to lose but time. There are plenty of posts on here that should get you started, just browse through the last few weeks.

Here’s a tip… add a product to your website, and it’s value will skyrocket.

For example, a three page niche website with three 500 word articles (total 1,500) may only sell for $30 – $50… on the other hand, a one page 500 word sales page selling a product that’s 1,000 words long can easily go for $1-200+, even more with a little revenue.

Of course, if you already have the articles, create the product and optimize the articles for SEO… buyers love websites with multiple income streams, and here you can offer them the full package (a website that earns with Adsense, affiliates and its own product sales). You can generally find writers on the various webmaster forums for $0.01/word… and this means a full fledged 4,000 word eBook will cost you $40 – $50… this can be sold for $500 or more with the right graphics, a decent sales page.

All you need is $6.01 to start out. Is that really so difficult to achieve?

A lot of you have asked how I started making money… I started writing articles at shitty rates (like… $0.004/word) off job websites. Later on, I moved to things like forum posting, and as I got more experienced I started website flipping.

You can generally make $6 (if you really don’t want to use your own money) by doing 50 paid posts on forums. Just hit up any of the webmaster forums, show your writing capabilities. It won’t take you long.

As always… if you have any questions, just let me know. Good luck. :)
