Buy Me A Ferrari

In a recent article, I touched on the fact that I have a few ideas that need to be developed. I have most of the domains for ideas that I have, here are some of the ideas along with the domain name. If you are interested in domain names I’m unlikely to get round to doing all of these so I can sell any of them at a suitable price.

If you are interested, please drop me an email.

Here’s the ideas along with the domain names:

YourAppleTV.com

Possibly thinking about having a blog dedicated to the Apple TV or have some sort of community website or gallery where people can show and talk about their Apple TV setups. I may be more likely to sell this as it is pretty low priority in terms of what I have planned.

CarSnap.co.uk

I’m thinking or maybe having either a gallery website where car owners can upload photos of their cars, or, a forum where people can discuss motoring related topics and post photographs of their cars.

911Owner.co.uk

Might have some sort of club and/or message boards where Porsche owners and enthusiasts can talk about their cars or just Porsches in general.

AuctionForum.info

I did intend to have a forum set up that had auctions on. I am now more likely to sell this rather than actually develop it although you never know.

TopWords.co.uk

I have absolutely no idea what I was going to stick on this one, purchased it a while back now and originally though of something along the lines of Million Dollar Homepage but instead of pixels have words. However, I believe this sort of idea is already out and about on the internet.

WiiBoom.com

Again, thinking about maybe having a blog that discusses the Nintendo Wii and games that are being released for the Wii. However, I don’t have a Wii at the moment and don’t see myself buying one in the near future. If I was to start I’d just be talking about new releases instead of actually reviewing games. Maybe someone else could give me a hand with this one? Write some content?

DavidDunn.name

I just registered this as it’s my name and it’s a .name - no idea what I’ll do with it but maybe I’ll stick a portfolio on there or something in the near future.

AboutGardening.info

Was going to have a website discussing all aspects of gardening but not really on the top of my interests list. Would be willing to sell this if anyone is interested.

ComperBlog.co.uk

This one will be a blog about entering competitions both online and offline. This is something I have been interested in for some time now and would be good to post about competitions that people can enter alongside tips for entering competitions.

ComperForum.co.uk

This is designed to go alongside Comper Blog, where people can talk about competitions, entering competitions, new competitions etc.

NewcastleLad.com and .co.uk

This is going to be a blog about my local area; Newcastle. Will talk about goings on and up and coming events in the city of Newcastle.

There are a few additional domains that I am buying etc. at the moment but these will be things that I am just starting to think about - hence why I haven’t blogged about them. The above ideas are very much that - ideas! I’ll never do all of these at once and never intend to - one at a time works best for me.

If you are interested in purchasing any of the above domains, I may be interested in selling - drop me an email and we can discuss it.

Are there any ideas you’d like me to get started on straight away? Please leave a comment.

Would you like to follow these ideas more closely when I blog about them here? Follow my RSS feed to keep up-to-date.

Well, hopefully anyway! These are the different things I am going to try in my journey to making some money on the internet. Note; some of these aren’t just things I am going to do on Buy Me A Ferrari but stuff I will put onto other sites, or new sites altogether.

Monthly advertising

You will probably notice that there are several slots on the pages of Buy Me A Ferrari that you can purchase on a monthly basis. Yes, none of these have been purchased as of yet as my blog is really new, but since the 18th (7 days ago) I have had 631 visitors and 1,123 page views so this should pick up.

These figures are increasing every day so hopefully people will start purchasing the ads. However, I haven’t been promoting these spots too much as I hope to implement a theme that I will purchase shortly, then and only then I will go and properly promote the ad spots (you can still purchase them now though and they will still be affective when I change the theme).

Project Wonderful

Project Wonderful seems to be a relatively new concept but I have it implemented on both of my blogs as the idea is really good. Advertisers bid (from $0.00) for a specific spot on your website, the more visitors you have the more money you will make as the site shows how many hits you are getting.

I like the idea as the advertisers are able to bid up to what they deem an appropriate price per day - keeping both the publisher (me!) and the advertiser happy. I am currently making at least $1 a day from this, for something that I don’t need to do much to, to keep it going.

Rubicon Project

Again, I think this is a relatively new idea that is still in BETA (isn’t everything on the web these days haha!?). I am only running these ads on FerrariDave as I decided not to have and AdSense type ads on Buy Me A Ferrari although it may be something I will look into in the near future.

From FerrariDave I currently have around $8 in my account although I have only been running it since about the second week of January.

If you too are looking to make money, Rubicon Project may be a good idea for you as it serves all sorts of different ads from different networks, they must work and be more appropriate for your visitors as I wasn’t making the same sort of money with AdSense. Sign up here.

Kontera

I have Kontera running on both blogs and basically what it does is picks out keywords in your pages and links them to different adverts (you may have noticed the orange links). Kontera isn’t going to bring me my Ferrari any time soon but it does bring me the odd dollar here and there.

Matched.co.uk

Matched brings me a set amount per month for displaying an ad that looks similar to AdSense. I’m currently only running this on FerrariDave and it brought my in £8 (~$16) for last month. I like this one as it doesn’t depend on people clicking on ads, I’ll get the cash whether people click on it or not.

Affiliate programs

I am definitely going to look into affiliate programs as all the top bloggers talk about them so they must be good for making money. Anyone like to give me some pointers where affiliate programs are concerned?/

Other ideas

I have several ideas that are currently work in progress or maybe just in design stages but most of them will be supporting ads and hopefully making me a few dollars/pounds here and there. Most of the ideas however are something I am interested in, not just something I think I can make money doing.

All of the above things will be talked about in more detail in up and coming blog posts on Buy Me A Ferrari. I will of course be updating about the money I am making (or not as the case may be). If you would like to be kept up to date, please Subscribe to My RSS Feed.
