Are You Paying Too Much For Your Domain?

Like any other business an online business does come with certain expenses and one of those is the constant renewal of your domain name. This may not be necessary if you use BlueHost or Green Geeks as your web host because they both give you a free domain for life when hosting with them. Unfortunately not everyone hosts with them, I know I didn’t at the beginning, and even if you do you only get one free domain. The question is are you paying too much for your domain? I think it’s a safe bet to say that a lot of you are. I know I was.

If you are paying more than is necessary this post will show you how to reduce that cost thereby increasing the profitability of your online business.

How Much Does A Domain Cost?

What surprises me is not that there is a way to minimize your domain cost but that it’s taken so long for me to share it with you. I’ve known about it for awhile but it wasn’t until I got notification that my theelusivepotofgold domain was about to expire and that it was going to cost me $59 to renew it for two years that it dawned on my to tell you aboutDynadot my domain registrar of choice.

Ever since finding out about them I’ve been slowly transferring my domains over to them one at a time. Truth be told they’re a lot more than a simple Domain Registra, but I’ll let Dr. Domain show you what they’re all about.

Dynadot Services Cost/Value     Features

Free forwarding, Free                         stealth, Free email     forwarding, Free parking.

Domain Transfer

Domain Change Account

Free

Web Hosting

So, what you need to remember is that Dynadot is an ICANN accredited registrar, not a reseller. This is why they are able to offer some of the lowest prices on the internet, speaking of which, all prices listed here are in US Dollars and yes, Paypal is accepted.

Anyway, transferring my domain from my old registrar to Dynadot only cost me $9.50 and because it also included a year of domain renewal I saved myself $40 over two years. This means that I have another $40 up my sleeve and I’m going to use that to purchase some more nifty plugins from JVZoo. Which ones? Well I reckon you’re going to have to wait for that information in one of my future posts. :wink_ee:

Buying Market Samurai At A Really Good Price

I bought Market Samurai nearly two years ago and the one thing that tipped the scales causing me to buy it was that I got it at a really good price. As you can see from this post I got it at a 35% saving paying only $97 instead of $147. Since then I’ve done several posts on it including Market Samurai, Is It As Good As They Say and Learning How To Use Market Samurai.

I never bothered with keyword research until purchasing my very own copy of Market Samurai and imagine my surprise when I found out I could install it on my MacBook Air. That was a real boon because these days I do all my blogging on my MAC.

Something else that I learned once I got my own copy of the software was that being an owner I was now able to promote it as an affiliate. I suppose they do it that way because they only want people to recommend their software who really like it. Anyway, since becoming an affiliate I’ve paid for it many times over.

The Best Ever Price For Market Samurai

In the time since I purchased my copy it has only gone up two bucks as it’s now worth $149, but for the next 9 days they’re promoting Market Samurai in the Warrior Forum for HALF PRICE, along with $270 worth of Rank Tracker Bonusesas a Warrior Special Offer (WSO).

This WSO offer is hands down the best deal they’ve ever made on Market Samurai since they released it 4 years ago in 2008. They may never, ever offer this kind of deal again which means that now is the best time for you to get your very own copy of it.

Buyonlinelottotickets.com And How It’s Performing

Buy Online Lotto Tickets went live on May 25, 2011 which is a little over a year ago and I thought you guys would probably be interested in how it’s been performing. Before I get into exactly how much money it’s generating I think you should keep in mind that it wouldn’t have generated any money the first few months because, as with any new site, it takes a while to get noticed by the your everyday surfer.

Something else to keep in mind is that this site does not use any type of adsense ads at all and so all money made on the site is from lottery sales and the occasional advertiser. For the purpose of this post I’ll only be talking about lottery sales. Something else to keep in mind is the site is still relatively new and I’m still working at building it’s traffic, which as you know is the lifeblood of any site, Speaking of which, let’s have a gander at some traffic stats.

BuyOnlineLottoTickets.com Traffic Stats

google analytics year

The first image shows traffice from May the first 2011 until end of August this year. That spike where it received 935 visits in March of this year was due to the huge US Megamillions jackpot where three people won over $200 million each.

Google August analytics

 The above graph shows last month’s daily traffic results. The highest was 33, the lowest 5 and the average daily visit was 12. I’m sure you agree that 12 visits a day is pretty dismal and one should consider that when analysing the income generated by the site.

Income Generated By Lottery Affiliates

Rather than lumping all the revenue together I’m going to itemise it depending on the relevant affiliates I’ve joined.

  • MyLotto.com: $124.15
  • Lottery Affiliates: $301.60
  • lottorewards: $54.60
  • PlatinumAffiliates: $13.51
  • JackpotMania: $41.98 Pretty good considering I only joined them in the middle of June this year. The good results are probably due to the fact they have a way of utilising PayPal to purchase tickets online.
  • LottoElite: Only Joined these guys last week. They look very promising as they seem to offer PayPal as a means of purchasing lottery tickets online.

That gives a grand total of $535.84. Considering the age of the site and the low traffic I am very happy with those results. When you consider the fact that every time you gain a new lottery customer they are your’s for life that means that the income will continue to increase with each new member.

 Become An Affiliate To Increase Your Income

Just so you know you do not have to have a lottery site to become a lottery affilate. You could join any of the above sites and start making money by promoting them on your blog. I know there will be a lot of you that think it won’t work on their blog but then you’re not allowing for impulse sales as I described in that post. The important thing to remember is that every time someone joins by clicking on your link they will become your customer for life. This means that every time they buy a ticke you will get commission. That’s so much better than waiting for someone to click on an adsense ad or something.

If you have any questions at all just leave me a comment and I’ll see if I can answer them for you.
