As a Domain name investor, you’d be investing in domain names hoping to resell it later, However, it’s not always the best to wait and sell in the later stage. Minisites is one of the ways in which you could earn money from your domain name. Watch.PH is one of my minisites that I did for my domain name.

It’s basically all about watch, watches, and wristwatch. it covers watch brands with information and watch tips to help you take care of your watch. It is also against buying of counterfeit watches and promotes the buying of original. It is also open for comments or suggestions by visitors.

A good domain name with a well known suffix costs around $7.49 / year these days, and an easy to remember domain name is hard to find. A website that I found called co.cc is a “FREE” domain name that’s available for everyone. You can literally register domains (like techfilipino.co.cc) and direct it to your website, it’s easy to remember and makes you more credible than blogspot or wordpress hosted blogs. You can direct it to nameservers (just like other domain names) and you could also forward it to your own website (whichever way is best for you).

There’s also a very good affiliate marketing scheme that they are doing:

Payout:

*  Someone registers a free domain earn $0.10 USD

* Someone purchases a domain name: 10% ~ 40% commission. (40% for Paypal, 10% for CreditCard)

* Minimum Payout: $1

* Payment Method: Paypal

I’ve started tweaking Arthemia theme for IEndorser and I’ve encountered some problems (bugs) while doing so…

What I‘ve so far tweaked the following:

* Removed the original search in index.php to Google Search

* I’ve had trouble putting it in as the navigation bar started to double the height, I’ve tweaked the CSS (for a while, long while…) before getting it right.

* Added an advertisement on the Header (changed to 728 x 90)

* Not much tweaking needed but more on defining the width and height of logo and the advertisement.

* Tweaked the categories shown

* Chose which categories to show in index.php was tough, I had to guess till I got the number right (category number).

* Subscribe Now

* Had to add a new CSS value for H4 to become H3 (to be shaded like the other widgets), Image of RSS and email subscription which took a long time (email subscription was going under the RSS image). RSS had to float left and email to float right and adjusted the length to fit both.

* Readjusted the levelling of the title of this widget as there was no margin on top.

* Inserted adsense to the 300 x 250 box on the sidebar widget

* Added the number of posts to 8 to compensate the length of my sidebar

* Error on the next page, I’ve encountered a problem switching to the next page from the index. Tried to find a solution and the way to do it is by changing the (Settings > Reading) Showing BlogPost equal to the display tweaked from code.

I’m still on the exploration stage on this theme and am going to continue to tweak it. I believe there’s more improvement that can be done and to further improve monetization.

… earning over $5 from InLinks for the first month that I’ve started blogging. It’s a huge motivation and start for me with my quest to learn more about earning money online. What’s great about it was that I just focused on blogging and marketing my blog and they do pretty much all the hardwork of maintaining my ads. The cut is 50-50 but you could always use other ads and doesn’t really tie you down with them. As I continue to blog, I expect to grow my earnings more and more.

What’s interesting about buying “Links” from other website is that you get a one way link to your website which is great for SEO. You get higher ranking in Search Engines like Google and gain visitors to your website. It’s also great for website owners as they are able to monetize their website without doing any work, as all you need to do is input the code and the system does everything for you.
