Make money with web scripts
Are you trying to make your first money online, but don’t know where to start? There are many ways to start making money, but one of the quickest may be to use a program called a web script. A web script is a program (usually written in PHP) that creates a complete website for you. Now many people would have you believe that you just need to install a script and you will start making money. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple, but by following a few simple steps, you can greatly increase your chances of making money with web scripts…
Step 1: The first step is to research different scripts and decide which one you want. There are a wide variety of scripts available, ranging from baby name scripts (which will generate thousands of baby name pages), to sites that sell e-books and even recipe sites… and many more. When considering which script to use, you should think about your skill level, your hobbies, your time, and your budget.
Step 2: Once you have downloaded your script, the first thing you need to do is read the documentation that comes with it. Then try to install it on your server. If you have any problems, contact the developer and get help. Most developers are happy to help you with your script installation, and some can do the installation for you if you provide them with your account login details.
Step 3: Now you have to work on modifying your site a bit. This is because there will probably be many other clients with the same script as yours. If you don’t change your site, your content will be the same as many other people’s…which Google doesn’t like. This can cause you to get less (or even no) traffic from Google.
Most well-written scripts are based on templates. If you find the template file, you should be able to make changes pretty easily (provided you know some basic HTML. If not try searching online for “HTML tutorial”). You’ll probably want to change the site name, site graphics, keyword descriptions, and more. It is also worth modifying the content and adding new content. For example, if you have a joke script, modify some of the existing jokes and add some of your own. If you bought an eBook store, try modifying the descriptions and even adding your own eBooks. Basically, the more you change, the better off you are.
Step 4 – Now it’s time to start driving traffic to your site. There are literally thousands of ways to do this. At a minimum, submit your website to some search engines, write some articles and submit them to some article directories, and submit your site to some web directories. You need to research other ways to get traffic – this is the lifeblood of every internet business. The most important thing is to keep track of what works. Install an analytics program (I recommend Google Analytics) and see what works and what doesn’t. When you find something that works, keep doing it.
Steps 3 and 4 are particularly important. People who don’t find success with web scripting often skip one of these steps and just hope to upload a script and make money. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple, and you’ll have to do some extra work to make your site successful. It will all seem worth it once you earn your first bit of money!
