There are tons and tons of ways to earn money online. There are tons and tons of ways to earn money online with ethics in tact. And there are hundreds of thousands of ways to make money online using the free WordPress blogging or content management system platform. A great way to make money online ethically using WordPress is by building a review web site with wordpress. To do this you can use a premium WP plugin designed for review sites. The plugin requires no programming skills at all and it is super simple to set up.
WordPress Review Site Plugin.
There is a particular WP plugin that is often used for review sites. The WP REVIEW SITE PLUGIN is setup to allow past customers to review products or services that you promote on your site. You can give them the ability to give star ratings for the product or service as a whole or for different aspects of it. When a potential customer comes to your site to learn more about a product that they are looking to purchase, you can display an average of the customer ratings for that particular product. The review plugin utilizes a technology that will allow the average ratings for the items being reviewed to show up in search results on engines like Google! You put in your affiliate links and make money when people purchase through your links.
Potential Review Site Ideas
The opportunities for untapped review sites are endless. I have done really well with city specific hotel review web sites on auto pilot over the past few years. The plugin developer’s example web hosting company review site has done very well generating thousands of dollars each month and it was just setup as an example for us to look at!
If you the product line that you are considering doesn’t have affiliate programs that you can earn referral commissions from you might want to look to eBay because you can promote any of the auctions there. Several of my niche review sites promote eBay auction listings. You can use the phpbay wp plug in to make it very easy to add auction listings into your blog. You simply specify the eBay search keywords to look for and how many listings to show from the results. It works great.
I read an insider report this morning that discussed review sites and gave examples of product types that customers say they go on the Internet to read reviews for. And when it comes time to making a purchase, 89% of the customers say that they use the recommended links on the review site t locate the product. Below are some of the hot opportunities for review sites.
- Panasonic TV
- Best Mobile Phones
- Sony Plasma TV
- External Hard Drives
- Nascar Diecast Cars
The tighter the niche that you are targeting, I find, the more potential traffic you can get and therefore the more sales that result. Pick good brands when you can and your Internet sales should start to soar. Setting your site up to be user friendly and conversion optimized can be tricky but you can use the WordPress themes that come with the review plugin to help in this regard. When adding online and offline shopping tips to the site I have seen higher conversions. I think it is due to the trust factor and that you aren’t only trying to make money, you are offering value that the customer can use where they choose.
Use RSS marketing or article marketing to promote these sites and you should be seeing traffic in no time.
