Make Money Online

Interview with Mike Owner of Zorg Bidding Directory

Hi, my name is mike. I’m a young guy with a lot of ambition. I have a lot of aims in life. World domination being the top priority =D

Q1) Your primary website:

Ans: That would be my Bidding Directory.

Q2) How did you start off:

Ans: I got interested in the directory market and the possible opportunities after running a free web directory. There were few bidding directories around when I started. Many of them had not been promoted, and were still using the default template. I wanted to go a step better and aim to become the best.

Q3) How many sites you own:

Ans: Lots of domains, but 3 main sites.

Q4) How much money you make online from different sites of yours:

Ans: Revenue is in the low $xxxx, but I have yet to break even on my directory.

Q5) What are your primary methods, you use for your site’s promotion:

Ans: Adding unique content, to bring in traffic. After that focus on link building which increases PR and SE rankings, which will in turn bring in traffic. I also buy banner space on webmaster sites for traffic, and get webmasters to review me in their blog for more traffic and backlinks.

Q6) Any message/tips for starter webmasters:

Ans: Don’t start if you have no effort. There is no point starting a directory, investing little, then stopping just because you couldn’t generate revenue after a month. Its a long term project so don’t jump into it if you lack the passion and determination to succeed.

Q7) What is your favorite niche. Which category you think is more profitable?

Ans: For a directory, general seems the best. After that, webmaster, blogs, travel and real estate seem quite popular niches.

Q8) What should you choose if you have to make a choice between a directory, a blog and a forum.

Ans: A directory every time. If the directory is the core, blogs and forum can follow. Its easier to promote and build up a directory than a forum, I know that from experience.

Q9) Your favorite web host, hosting company:

Ans: Down Town Host. I’m on a semi dedicated there, as my online game is resource intensive. They have been great, know me by name, and have great support/prices.

Q10) Favorite search engine:

Ans: It would have to be google. Unless I make my own one day!

Q11) Favorite website:

Ans: It would probably be Digital point forums. So much activity, things to learn, and potential customers out there.

Q12) Any thing else you want to say!

Ans: Thanks for letting me do this. I enjoy sharing my thoughts with others, and its even better if it serves as a guide to newer webmasters.
