    You're trying to make money the 90's or early 2000 way.

    The era of promoting file and web hosting are kinda long gone. Think geocities.

    Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest ways to earn a nice chunk of cash every day.

    Just saying.

    First, in order to be taken seriously, you need your own domain and webhost. I understand you're trying not to spend money -but really, there's no time when a free webhost is better than your own domain. Especially if you're selling something.

    The wording/images are somewhat mashed together, it's not completely clear to me what you're selling at first glance.

    And often- a Glance is all you'll get from flighty internet visitors.

    I suggest getting your own host, your own domain, installing wordpress, and create a site that showcases what you can do for people (really show them WHY they should purchase from you).

    If you only need $5 to start - make an account on Fiverr It's very easy - you'll make money in no time.

    If you need to make just $5 - there's always Fiverr

    IsayHey,

    I am not saying this to cut down your efforts. You asked people to "review my site and tell me if you like the look of the site and if you think it has potential." Please be not upset when they tell you the truth.

    Sales copywriting is an art, a science, and a learned skill. Nobody is born knowing how to write good sales copy, in the same way as nobody is born knowing how to play music. Learning takes time.

    The only message that has even the slightest bit of benefit to a reader of your website is: "If you are struggling with getting your video's views just use this page to promote your video's."

    But it is the smallest words on the site! Why are you trying to hide it?

    Without a benefit laden headline, expressed in a way people can see it, followed by well written reason-to-buy copy, your site will do nothing. It's a difficult lesson to learn, but it must be learned.

    Grab a book called "The Ultimate Salesletter" by Dan Kennedy. It will be a wake-up, and help you see where you need to go with this.

    :-Don

      Issayhey ,

      This is what I've been telling you, The more time you invest ; the more money. If you need a quick $5 to pay for your Domain and Web host. Sell something on Ebay. I sold More Call Of Duty 4 for $11 + $2.99 P&P. That's 14 Quid! More than enough to Pay for Domain (Usually $7 for .com.) Web Host is around $3-£5 a Month On HostGator..

      Secondly you need to write some Content! Look at Minecraft Crafting | A Guide to Crafting in Minecraft Full of content and Pictures to Help me Craft In Minecraft. He could submit all His articles to Ezine , Go Articles and Squidoo.

      Bam! Top of Google.

    Your blogsite is Cool, though you have to listen to the IM's experts. Free site will not give you a stable income. Cause any time it will shut down. You might be regretful at the latter part. Buy domain and invest on that.,

    Your website needs more content and you should add more unique articles about the niche your are working for. It has only one article with a video and its almost nothing for a website/blog which wants to make money and traffic.

      hi,

      Seen your site & other members comments & by and large the Main thing you should concenterate can be sum up in the following:-

      1) Get your own domain name & hosting Plan.
      2) Do something other to get the money earn as the project is not so much saleable.
      3) If still want the same topic do more on theme of the site/layout/content every thing. Peoples need good content. All need to be reworked.
      4) Do Social Marketting & Other stuff like what I see in your site likkgrand to increase your revenue.
      5) Get decent traffic for your site.

      Last But Not least - Have Pateince Buddy. Nothing exist like making you millionare in 1 day.

      Thanks & Regards
      Abhishek Srivastava

      If you can get a domain & hosting plan - for affordable rates try to make directory website.

    As the other Warriors already have said, you need content.And not just any content will do the job.You need quality content,you need to buy a domain even at the time you are not making any money and your own hosting.If you like to make money out of it, you must be more proffessional.I am pretty sure that if you had installed Google Analytics in your website, the bounce rate must me over 80% and the time that someone remains in your page should not be over 1 minute.

    Sorry but you need some more work to do

      Hi,

      First take this out of Mind that people are annoyed with you. They are just sharing of what is right. It is understood not all persons can invest money in starting & thats why Internet has opened doors for them too. There are various others methods by which you can start earning money. Like Selling E-Book, doing Freelancing if you knowledge (elance.com, odesk.com, sologig.com etc)

      Thanks & Regards

        okay thanks for the comment, and i understand! im not sure whether i should just increase traffic to my site then rely on adsense until i have enough money to do better?

          Have you installed Google analytics's? As said above I bet your bounce rate would be above 80% (No one visits other Pages , apart from the one their on.) How do you expect people to click on your Ads. My site gets around 300 visits a week and the bounce rate is 43% pretty Bad , I Know! I get around 0.50 a week! You can only checkout on Adsense once you have £70!

          You will not make any money with this site , I'm telling you now. Just keep it to learn off , it took me ages before I knew how to get on to the First page on Google. Two years actually.

          If I was you , I would sell something on eBay get a quick $50 , That should be 6 Months of Hosting and a Domain for 1 year (.com)

          I'm not sure if you can sell free domains , if you can sell it for $10.

          Because at the moment you're no where to be found In Google , I bet you get 2 Visits a day , Install Google analytics's for 1 week and PM the screen shot and I'll take a look.


          My Adsense screenshot. See that's was over 1 Month!

      People do not get annoyed because you don't want to put money into it.You asked for an opinion and you are getting different opinions of what we think is right.By quality content, except of the instructions, you could always write two articles or reviews about this game,how popular it is, how addicting etc You may also right reviews abou other games,why not?

        This is what You have to do , Write Content that I want to Read , if you do that everything will fall into Place , SEO , Adsense , Clickbank. If they want to read your content then their is a very high chance that you will get adsense clicks

        Hi IsayHey,

        I can understand that you may be very excited and just want to make some money.

        However, quite frankly I think you are trying to "run" before you "walk."

        You need to:
        1) Lay your foundations first - Get some quality content up online/offline
        2) Build some momentum - In terms of getting traffic to the site, and
        3) Then you can be more concerned with the monetization aspects.

        I really think you should be focusing on 1) and 2) at the moment. :p

    i could use clickbank to re-sell someone's ebook, obviously i would have to be able to do this, as you can get e-books that say you can re-sell them, should i do this on clickbank until i can afford a domain name?

      You can try Clickbank for now but you need traffic for your feed. You can also use selling e-books which may be a good idea to earn some money.

    You need to increase traffic on your site, and it can be achieved by creating valuable contents. Simply cobbling together information from another website will not generate traffic. You need to offer visitors the information they need to achieve a goal, solve a problem, be entertained, find out quality news or have a good laugh.

    I didn't really understand, but then I am not into games. It looks like a standard affiliate type site that you got for free and its boring as hell...at least for me. I didn't go through every page cause I don't play games. I am on a mission to earn money through true online marketing. But good luck.
