TutorialDesk.com was also sold right after my last update back in November. It was sold over at SitePoint for $800. Two other small websites I sold during this time were GForceCommunity.com for $300 and IMG-Share.com for $215. Both were small sites and quick sales but GForceCommunity.com produced almost $100 in November alone.

So that sums up all my website transactions for this time with no updates. Now the only websites I have left are TutorialWall.com, which I hope to sell soon, RMGR.net, and RobertGomez.info. I plan on releasing a bit of a bigger site within the next couple of weeks or so and I will have some more info for all of you soon.

Style Gala

This site doesn’t have a layout as good as the other sites, but what I like the most about this gallery is that it gets updated very often. Not only is the gallery updated, but public design news also. PageRank 6 and Alexa Rank of 22,430.

CSS Mania

CSS Mania gets some major traffic, no wonder it has the lowest Alexa rank of all seven sites featured here. PageRank 6 and Alexa Rank of 8,920.

Not updated as often, but I love the recent layout changes. When you hover your mouse over a website featured it shows a bigger preview of the site. PageRank 6 and Alexa Rank of 26,202.

As you can see, I really needed this PageRank update badly.

On another note, here are the sites I’ve sold since my last blog update.

PSDmaster.com

PSDmaster was sold on SitePoint in early-October. The new owner has kept it online, and running. It is now PageRank 3. The final price on this site was $550.

YourPhotoshopSource.com

YourPhotoshopSource was sold on SitePoint in late-August. It is now PageRank 4. This site was sold for $750.

Other Updates:

• Website-Gallery.com is doing great! Since the pagerank update I have received many people interested in advertising on there. I also started offering text link advertising, and not just sidebar banners as it used to be. The rates for text links start at just $7 per week, or $15 monthly.
• I received yet another payment from Google about a month and a half ago. This time for a bit over $150. I now need about $10 to receive yet another payment after this month. I’ve made a close to $500 all time with Google Adsense.
• As said above, GForceCommunity.com made it to PageRank4 and now I installed a script that allows me to sell links. I’m selling PR4 links starting at only $1! Go visit GForceCommunity.com and buy yourself a link.
• I’ve bought the domain TutorialDesk.com and have the site all ready to create another Photoshop Tutorial place. The design was done and coded and is now live and ready to have tutorials added. I will be adding some tutorials pretty soon. Let me know what you think of the design.

That’s it for now guys, I will try to update this blog more often. See you around!

Websites Sold:

- I finally got a payment from Google Adsense, last month I finally got my lifetime earnings to over $100, and so today I received a payment for $186 from them. Pretty nice eh? Next month I will also get paid because I received over $100 in july also.

- Website Gallery is doing pretty well! I love updating the site, and I hope you like looking at it. Please remember to subscribe to the gallery’s RSS Feed so you can stay updated on the new sites added everyday.

So as you can see, It’s been a busy month at SitePoint :P. Now here’s a couple of other updates.

- Time2Photoshop.com has been finished, and it is now opened to the public.

- I bought IMG-Share.com, and will be starting a new Image Host there soon.

- Last, but definitely not least, I opened up a website that showcases great looking sites from all over the internet by the name of Website Gallery. This site has been really successful in the 6 days that it’s been opened. Please pay it a visit, and maybe submit your sites if they look good

So that is pretty much it for now, I will keep you all updated with the development of this site and many others to come this Summer.

On other notes, I’m working on a Web Gallery website that would be powered by WordPress, stay tuned for that!

7. Online Gambling (Fantasy Sports)
Probaby the hardest way to make money online, but if you love sports and do not mind risking money, then you can invest on some Fantasy Teams and make some good money. Say that for example the Baseball season is coming up and you would like to start making money through Fantasy games. You can buy a Fantasy Team for only around $19.99 and if you end up winning your league you can make up to $100. Say you do this a couple of times, not only with Baseball, but with Football, Basketball, and Hockey also. You’re looking at maybe a couple of grand.

6. Paid surfing and survey filling
Not that good an option to make money online, and definitely can’t make enough for a living doing this, but if you’re just starting off and have a lot of free time, then you might want to try doing this. One time I heard of someone getting paid $100 for completing one single survey, and that obviously doesn’t happen every day, but it might be a nice little addition to your income.

5. eBay Business
This is one of the few methods of online money making that I have not tried very much. While I have sold a couple of things on eBay, I have never tried to do it often and a lot. I have, however, seen many people that do it for a living. If you buy things by lots at a local Flea Market and sell them on eBay, you can make enough money doing that.

4. Selling a Product
If you find a way to create a unique online product, and a good way to advertise it then you can make some real cash. My friend AlfredN is currently working on a Content Management System, and if he finds a way to spread the word nicely, then he’s in for some nice and consistent cash. You can also do the same for any other product as long as it’s unique and visitors aren’t tired of seeing it.

3. Advertising
Advertising is the most common way to make money online. Wether it be through Direct Ad sales or through an online Publisher Network.

• Direct Ad Sales
• This method is not as commonly successful as advertising through a Publishing Network. What this means is basically selling ad space on your website directly from your website. While it may sound easy and cool it is not as easy as it sounds. The hard thing to do in this case is to get people to buy the space. The bigger your site is, the better chance you have to be successful with this method.
• Advertising through a Publishing Network
  
• Almost one hundred percent of websites online today use this method of online money making. It is simply the easiest to do, but not the one that produces the most. It consists of simply signing up for a Publisher Network and putting their ads up and you receive money for every click. Some of the best Networks include Google Adsense, Yahoo Publisher Network(BETA), Tribal Fusion, BidVertiser, Chitika, Clicksor, ValueClickMedia. The thing with Publishing Networks is that you will only make significant money if you have a big enough website.

2. Freelance Work
If you are pretty good at Coding, Designing, or some other service then you can get some pretty good cash doing Freelance work on the Internet. To make the most cash doing this, you must have some good contacts of small businesses or maybe website owners who are constantly in need of work and pay good money. Jamie Huskisson is one of the best I’ve seen at this on the internet. He does it so good that he does it as a full time job. As with most jobs, the more you do Freelance work, the more work you will get as you build up your portfolio.

1. Creating and Selling Websites
By far in my opinion the best option to make money on the internet if you do not own a huge website. The reason it is so good is because the more you do it, the easier it gets because you get more experience and you know where to sell it, and for what price. This is the option that has worked the best for me, and most people I know criticize me for selling the websites instead of keeping them and making money off of ads. Why do I sell the sites instead of making money off of ads? The answer is pretty simple. The sites I sell for about $1000 or more only make about $3-4 per day, that would come out to be around $100 per month, it’s not that bad, but when I can make $1000 a month by just creating one single site, then why not do it? Most of the websites I build and sell are tutorial websites. I guess I find it easier to do these because I have some good contacts who can write tutorials for the right amount and know where to submit them to. Personally I like using WordPress for all the tutorial sites I build, it is so easy to install and so customizable that I just love it!
