11 Innovative Ideas To Make Money Online

by Daniel Scocco

Over at DailyBits we have an interesting article titled 11 Undiscovered Website Ideas to Steal and Make You Rich. If you are always thinking about innovative and clever ideas to create a website and make money with it (I am…), it should be a good reading. Here is a quote from point two:

2. Community Consulting

The mini pitch: “Yahoo Answers for website owners.”

What it is: A place where website owners can pay for advice and get opinions from a wide community of experts, dabblers and end-users.

How it works: Website owners use credits to post a screenshot with a link to their site, together with a list of their goals. Community consultants give advice, and credits are dished out between them accordingly. Credits can be cashed in or spent on questions.

Why it’s hot: Opinions and advice are essential to improving your site. This concept would shift the balance from whopping consultancy fees for one person’s opinion to micro-payments and group-thinking. It also puts a value on your own opinions and sagely advice at long last!

Where the money is: Website owners buy credits. Perhaps it costs 25 credits for them to submit their site for community consulting. You could take 5 credits, and get them to spread the remaining 20 between those who respond.

Check out the other 10 points and let us know what do you think. Have you come across any interesting or weird website ideas lately?

Hmm… wierd website ideas…

Can’t recall the site, but I remember that they were giving away a single small container of some essential herbal oil with each comment on the blog. I was interested enough at the time that I emailed the blogger. She said the herbal oils only cost her a nickel apiece, plus postage to ship, and that nearly 30% of people she sent the sample to wound up ordering the full product.

Not a bad ROI, if you ask me.

Well, yahoo answers proved to me as a most successful tool to bring a trafic to my blog. I tried forums, directories, with minimum results.

The idea about website sales was fantastic. I think people would get into it no more than in a few months time.

Thanks

Hmmm interesting idea. Although there are many free forums which offer feedback on websites I suppose you would get more involved feedback if the consultants are getting paid for it so this idea could work. I’m listing the different ways to make money on my site The Online Money Test if anyone is interested. I also have a blog of my own progress and although it’s starting very slow, I’m gradually starting to see results.
