$1100?!
Ok, who would pay $1100 for the blogrilla.com domain? Not I. Apparently the website WebsiteOutlook.Com thinks blogrilla.com might be worth a pretty penny.
It also estimates that I could make upwards of $1.61 every day based on ad-revenue. Interesting thought. What if I included some advertisements on my website? Maybe I could make $48 every month. That would certainly pay for my web-costs. I’ve tried including Google’s advertisements in the past and never made a dime on it. On the other hand, maybe I was doing something wrong.
Here’s the trick: I have seen the statistics from my hosting company and at least half of the visitors to this site are crawlers/spiders from the search engines. It really gets very little traffic.
Nonetheless, I am looking for some alternate means of income. I have this website and a couple of others – none of them half as interesting as a defunct blogrilla.com. But my hosting company has offered me a wide range of eCommerce tools. Its practically begging me to come up with a way to at least cover the expenses of my website.
Any ideas? I was thinking of something entrepreneurial. An online business. I thought I would sell something. But what? I don’t have access to anything that’s particularly cheap. I don’t do any handicrafts or anything.
There are some websites that sell risque t-shirts. I can come up with dumb things to put on a t-shirt as well as anyone else, I bet. But do they make money? I know someone who makes t-shirts. I should talk to him about working together on something.
What else?

Hmm, if you attract enough visitors, perhaps you’ll make money with Google ads, and you don’t need to sell anything else…
What if you make use of the pun somehow to attract visitors to the site? Put some blogs on gorillas (i.e. turn your site into a blog of blogs on gorillas). Do some monkey business (ok, gorillas are tecnically apes). Pretend to be King Kong writing a blog, commenting on world affairs, particularly environmental issues, in his perspective.
Oy vey! I think that’s a lot more creativity than I can muster. Perhaps if I stopped doing things with the kids and focused more on the whole King Kong of blogs-idea I could get it off the ground.
The problem is that I like my kids better than the King Kong idea.
But for a small fee I would be happy to lease you the space!
