Susan Miller to profit from astrology skills, maybe you can too

Creating a website on astrology and products related to horoscopes can be so easy, fun and make you a great deal of money.

However most astrology websites have little to no planning put into them and therefore fail. You wouldn't drive a Ford pick up with out gas , you would end up sitting in the same place for a long time. So our goal is to move, the quicker the better.

Let us create "A Quick Action Plan". The follow guide should help you get your ideas into gear. Let's go!


At the starting line:

What is in it for the visitors?

I always ask myself what is in it for them, if there isn't anything why should they come and visit my website.


People love free stuff,

Free information, guides, tutorials, videos, and audio clips that you have created yourself, no costs to you but value for your visitor.

Free links for forum or chat rooms on the subject.

Offer free downloads, games or puzzles that you have located.

This all depends on your target audience, a 30 year old might not want games and puzzles as much as a 14 year old, this is why its so important to know who your target visitor is.

Know your niche.

Most searches on the internet are over accommodated, for example if you search Google for astrology your getting over 27 million results. You can't call that a niche but if you broke it down to astrology compatibility chart you get 434,000.

You could then further this by niching going to astrology compatibility chart March. Ah jackpot! 169,000, but the great fact is you could make a website for each month, 12 immediate websites to start produce cash. With mini websites you would be up and running in no time at all.

You now have a website topic with just enough competition that it will be profitable.

How do websites make money?

Advertising and associate programs.

The amount of money generated from the website and what programs will accept you is dependent on the amount of content you have on your page as well as the amount of traffic you receive. Below is a short listing of some of the different programs on the Internet that will help generate money on your web site.

Amazon associates - The Amazon's associate program enables any user to setup links to any Amazon goods and any purchases made from those goods or any other goods a user may make while browsing Amazon's page after clicking the link from your web page you will generate a small percentage of income.

Sell books, charts, jewelry..

Google Adsense - Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image, and more recently, video advertisements on their websites. These advertisements are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis.
Pay per click (PPC) is an internet advertising model used on websites, in which advertisers pay their host only when their ad is clicked.

As you know from your google research there are millions of astrology and horoscope companies and products that are most likely looking for a website to place there ad on.

Promoting the website:

Most people spend 95% of there time on creating there business and 5% promoting it, this is why a lot of web based business's don't succed.

I recommend spending 75% of your time on various promotion techniques. Spend the rest on keeping the website current and informative.

Here is a short list of promotions tools.

Article Directories

Business Directories

Classifieds

Forums

Social Networking Sites

Pay per Click Advertising (PPC)

Print Advertising

Videos

Podcasting

Blogs

eBooks

Press Releases


The above list is by no means comprehensive, but it highlights some of the new and interesting ways to make money online with an easy astrology or horoscope website. With or without investing any money, and with or without having a product of your own.
Most of all the potential return on your investment is substantial.
