[imjjss 0]

Sure I know you are browsing and posting right now Seriously, I'm talking about online business.Besides serving ads on our blog, many people also provide service or products online.I'm a Chinese language instructor, and now I'm building a website for it, will move my courses online soon. That's what I plan to do on internet. The courses will be the same but the teaching method will change a lot. I have put a lot of time and efforts into this reform of my business, I feel it's going to be a great improvement.What about you? I've seen many online business, but I'm more curious on how things are going on among us-- new online business owners.

Currently, I am doing what most people do. When I first open up firefox, I quickly go to gmail to see any new emails. Then I check on my adsense earnings (the realtime reporting of adsense is just brilliant). Then I log in to my facebook account to see any new updates in my social circle.

After all that, I either close my browser, or start working on my website. That's my routing now a days.

 

However, I am looking forward to start a proper online business in coming years. Currently, I have huge time problem. I have got a tough exam ahead and I hardly manage any time for my website. My website MANanatomy.com is based on Human Anatomy. It is a medical subject, and gets good number of visitors from search traffic. As a result, adsense ads are performing brilliantly on my website. I have added only 25-30% of the content on my website, and still I am making almost the same amount of money that my father does (please keep in mind that I belong to Pakistan and for any type of work here, wages are very low). I am so desperate with myself because of not being able to add more content to the website. I currently have 300 pages and I receive about 2000 pageviews per day. So If I create more pages, the traffic will rise in a direct proportion.

When I finish my exams, I will try to quickly complete my website.

 

After completion, the website would have about 2000 pages, and if the traffic increases in a direct proportion, I will be able to generate a healthy income from my website. After I complete my website, I have planned to start another project, in which I won't rely on ads to generate money from my content. Instead, I would charge some fee for people to view my content. This type of system works fine in medical field, because the content is of high value and is not easily available. Some of my friends told me that I should apply the system to my current website. They say that I should make the current content sort of premium and charge a fee to make it visible to users. However, I don't think I am going to do this. I have two reasons for this.

 

Number one is that adsense ads are performing brilliantly on my website and even with such a low traffic, I am able to generate enough money to not only support my education, but also make some savings. I always imagine how the earnings could increase, if I publish more quality content on the website and increase the traffic. This way, not only adsense earnings would increase, but my site will also become eligible for a number of CPM publishers. Therefore, the earnings should increase by a significant factor. And I want these earnings to continue coming so that I have a stable base for testing and experimenting with my next project. With this website running adsense and other CPM ads, I will get a good amount of money by the end of every month and will not have to worry about my financial condition. Thus I would be able to work on my next project in a better way.

 

The second point is that 300 pages of my website are already public. If I request google to remove them from their index, then the search engine reputation of my website is going to decline tremendously and the website will be lost for all the major and minor terms in search results. Plus, I will have to create additional pages for marketing of the current content and I will have to target additional keywords that I currently don't need to. Thus I will not only be increasing work burden on myself, but also terminating the ad money. The website may start making money for subscription fees etc but it might take a huge amount of time.

 

So once I get my current website completed, I will start next project that will be more like the traditional online business.

Currently I am unemployed but am putting every second of free time I have in to the development of my new game engine. The original plan was to create a way for those without any experience in programming or web design a means to create their own Text-based MMORPG games easily using a series of web forms and configuration options.Anyway while developing the engine I was contacted by several people who were following the project asking if they could take what had been made so far and create their own games with it that utilise premium subscriptions. I was a bit apprehensive about this as I had originally designed the engine to be free. So I decided to deny their request and had an idea. I am continuing to develop the free version of the engine which is very close to a beta release and decided I would also release a premium version of the engine afterwards which would require the user to purchase a license. This would open the possibility for people to create games for profit and would be fair on me who put all this time in to developing the engine so they can make a profit. It also gives me the opportunity to turn the engines development in to full-time work giving me a reason to develop more and more advanced features in to both the free and the premium versions of the engine. It also offers the chance to develop premium version only modules. So my dream of offering free game design software to the world is kept intact, and if I am able to earn enough per month to cover the bills then it frees me up to develop more modules for the free version.So what started out as a series of simple tutorials here on Xisto is slowly developing in to a large-scale project with a growing community of people already and a potential opportunity to support my son and myself.

The Internet is just a hobby for me. While I'm intrigued by the ways in which people can earn a living online, I just don't have the time or desire to research it properly. Maybe someday...

Off topic : I am currently using the internet to delete spammers present on Xisto :unsure:On topic : I would consider moderation on Xisto & ks a pseudo business since I have started spending time on the forums again. But in the future I would dedicate a website for teaching but that would take plenty of time ;)Since it has been months since the author added this topic, you could give us a status on how your website is going imjjss

The problem with the internet is that if you're not serious about what you're doing, you can easily get distracted to do something else! This is the problem that I'm facing currently. I'm not doing any "business" in the strict sense, but I do have a couple of projects that I feel could be helpful to others. But the moment I start working on those projects, something else comes along to distract me (posting here, for example!) Sometimes those distractions are urgent (if I don't post, I lost my hosting) but sometimes the distractions are quite unnecessary (forwarded youtube videos, funny emails, etc) This is affecting my projects and they have been delayed quite a lot. If someone here can give a few hints on how to avoid this distraction, then my "business" of finishing my projects could definitely go off much smoother.

....Sometimes i can‘t imagine my life without it.

agree... Computer and Internet seem to go hand-in-hand now... a Computer without Internet is one useless piece hehe

[yordan 10]

And what would be your life without a computer? Mine was broken and I had to wait for repair during two weeks, very uncomfortable.

[mahesh2k 0]

My old computer is sent for repair-motherboard issue. I am posting this via mobile. I find it hard to use mobile for work. I just cant live without laptops and desktop.I dont think i can stand two weeks like that. Lol. It is really hard to just watch tv and miss computers. Atleast for me to do things everday.

Internet for me is for information, news and seek of solutions, examples for best practices, sometimes it's annoying to read the manual, you just google search for a solution with the same or similar problem and try to do it, so it's really useful for work. But on the Internet you can easily get distracted by something else.I don't really play to much games these days...But Internet for me is also for communication
