How To Start A Successful Recipes Website
How to cook, this topic is becoming more and more in demand over the past few years, especially because of the downfall of the USA economy in 2008. People who used to be hard-core going out every night for dinner are now finding their budgets for meals is under strain and they have to cut back! So, where do people turn that have little or no cooking experience? Well hopefully your brand new website! And because this monstrous influx of traffic to your new recipes website leaves you with a bunch of new advertising opportunities, and by that I mean more money for you! Let me show you how:
Step 1: Register a Domain, Get Website Hosting, and a Script.
First, you will want to register a domain name from your favorite domain registrar (Your Domain Registration Company Here), try to find a domain with the keyword “recipes” or even “cooking” in the name! Next, get some reliable website hosting! I suggest HostMonster.com, they have great service, fast servers, great support teams, and almost 100% reliability uptime! Finally, you will need a good and free recipe script! For this, I recommend using the EasySiteNetwork.com recipe script. It gets a bit complicated to install because it uses MySQL databases, however, I can always install the script for you for only $5. Just email me a request!
Step 2: Promote your Website!
After you have installed your script and customized it just the way you like it, it is now time to promote your website! This can get a bit tricky, however using the right steps and methods, it will be a breeze. First you will want to develop back links, try to trade links with some other established cooking websites; this will drive some traffic as well as get you some good quality back links. Next, you will want to advertise on competing websites, I recommend going on Google and searching for a few competitors websites, find what type of ads they use (for Google Adsense, it will say “ads by Google Adsense” at the bottom), then join the ad program they use and advertise on there! This will drive even more traffic to your website and increase your income further, as well as this will hopefully get you a loyal following so when people need recipes for anything they will go to your website (that’s the goal at least). Now, if you are a bit crazy and have some money to spare, I highly recommend doing a press release through prweb.com. This will drive tons of targeted traffic to your website and will hopefully get you a few sponsorship deals, which I will talk about in step three.
Step 3: Make Money with Ads!
Remember how I said that a recipe website has “a bunch of new advertising opportunities”? Well, let me show you what I mean. After you get some good traffic to your website, it’s time to put some new advertisements on your website! I recommend signing up for Tribal Fusion and ADSDAQ. To increase your cash flow by even more is getting sponsorship deals! Talk to some local companies about advertising on your website! Especially someone who makes for example pots and pans for cooking or even some silverware and ladles or anything! And charge them about $100 per month per banner, if you get two or three banners going that will be $200 to $300 a month! This isn’t a significant income, but you can defiantly increase that by adding another banner or two or increase your prices slowly!
Well that’s it, three steps and you will have a great recipe website for the growing cooking demand! Just experiment! Even selling a cookbook on your website can turn out to be a huge success!
