Create a Resource Website
Referral Income and
Finders Fee Websites
Many of my clients ask me how to create a resource website to start a home business based on referral income or generating a finders fee for a variety of products and services
Referral income websites are versatile and an excellent choice for home based businesses
Referral income or the finders fee has been historically a long time business practice. Today word of mouth remains as an excellent referral income for vendors
When you create a resource website it is very possible to earn significant "referral income" through a "Theme-Based Content Site"...
A Theme Based Website also referred to as a niche website focuses on providing information on the topic or theme of the website, which in turn, is related to the business activities of others.
You can create a resource website for a favorite vacation spot or promoting any products and services. The possibilities for referral income are unlimited
Today’s surfers search for information and solutions. Too many websites are strictly sales pages and do not provide the surfer with the information or insider tips that they are looking for Most small businesses, especially offline local ones, do not yet understand this fundamental online behavior and their websites reflect exactly that Lack of understanding or perhaps time prevents them from providing what people really want in a Web site... valuable content.
Without quality information there is an information gap between the surfers and businesses
This provides a Powerful Opportunity to create a resource website for your theme based website and generate finders fee income
By providing quality information you satisfy the needs of both the surfer seeking information and the business selling their products or services Linking the two together provides you with a referral income or finders fee
For example, If you are knowledgeable about a particular location and the local business such as real estate agents, rental car companies, villas & hotels, boat charters etc the opportunity to create a resource website is outstanding
Remember that most small business owners do not have the knowledge or inclination to do what you are about to do...
When I first began as a website developer for home and small business generating targeted traffic was my main problem
Despite all the techniques that I employed generating traffic remained a serious problem. Poor traffic equals poor sales
I then discovered Site Build it and their powerful C T P M process
Using this system I learned how to create a resource website, a passion-driven site with valuable content that surfers can easily find
How Do you make referral income or get a finders fee?
It's very simple...
* Your theme-based content attracts high volumes of targeted visitors or potential customers * Your site's content develops your credibility and builds trust with your prospective new customers.
* You develop an e-zine (electronic newsletter) which builds more trust. * You recommend a business or service. * You receive a referral income from the finders fee generated by the resulting lead or sale
When you create a resource website in essence you are creating a informational highway specific to your surfers interests This is referred to as targeted traffic because your visitors were specifically searching for your theme location product or service
The surfer arrives at your website site interested to receive your valuable, personal information. This PREsells -- it earns trust and respect, building your own "Brand of One."
Bottom Line? You create a referral income from Loads of Valuable Leads!
Further to this there is an excellent chance that many of those PREsold visitors will be in the market for the related businesses that you recommend like the best hotels to stay at, how to buy real estate, local shops and tourist features etc.
Naturally, you have researched and verified which businesses provide excellent products and or services before developing content in your web pages that end in recommendations to that particular business
If you make bad recommendations, your name will soon lose the credibility you worked so hard to create
When you create a resource website you are in total control of your referral income because you have created and own the traffic.
"How do I get paid with a Finders fee or Referral income system?"
When you create a resource website you can generate hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can earn referral income in many ways...
pay-per-sale commission -- you earn a commission for each sale pay-per-sale profit -- you earn a profit if you structure this as a resale pay-per-lead -- you make a fee for each person who sends an inquiry pay-per-click -- each click to a company's Web site generates income pay-per-month -- a straight monthly fee
As I mentioned earlier having discovered Site Build It! I highly recommend that you use their services to create a resource website Their Action Guide shows you how and when to accomplish each step required to build a profitable finders fee business
However you decide to be paid, the key is to generate revenue from your niche-oriented content by putting yourself in the middle.
Site Build it also will show you how you can add many additional monetization methods using their unique system and tools
Form Build It! One of Site Build It’s comprehensive suite of tools can be used to create a variety of customized forms inviting visitors to contact several of your local businesses.
As an experienced webmaster I find the Site Build it traffic building tools are second to none and I use and recommend them for all of my clients business websites
Other great traffic building features are... C2 pages where visitors can actually add content to your site
Your Site Build it website automatically becomes a blog posting your web pages on your blog and these pages are then blasted through the RSS feeds generating even more traffic for you
They even provide you with auto-responders and a great e-mail service
These pages can also have Google Adsense added to them for additional revenues
Site Build it also automates and handles allot of the technical aspects so you can concentrate on your business
As a result of your referrals, you can earn thousands of dollars from property sales and rentals. Substantial extra referral income can be generated in finders fees for car rentals, boat charters, inns and so forth. Now... Put Yourself in the middle
The majority of small businesses are still offline... tens of millions of thriving local businesses. Even if they have a Web site, they get no traffic.
Most businesses would be happy to pay you a finders fee for targeted referrals... for your traffic!
Combining SBI's targeted traffic and Form Build It! is a powerful way to build referral income, also known as finder's fees.
Remember... you own your traffic... you remain in control
You can add other sources of monetization to diversify and grow your revenues
Put your Targeted Buyers & Sellers Together...
Your ever growing, targeted-niche traffic is invaluable to quality businesses that don't have a website or website traffic
Your visitors and subscribers value your opinions and recommendations.
It's the perfect combination, a simple matter of putting the two together and making referral fee arrangements... everyone wins!
Over the years I've spent in developing business websites for clients the concept to create a resource website stands out in my mind as one of the most fascinating. So much so that I am contemplating relocating to my favorite location and doing it myself!
