How to recycle old ideas into new profits
Ok, so you want to make a profitable website?
And you are still stuck with no idea?
You wish you could go back 3 years ago with your current knowledge, and be able to build the killer website that will make money?
But whatever idea you have, it has already been done and you have no chance to compete with websites that were made years ago.
Here’s a tip.
In case you didn’t know, it is possible to create an exe application from HTML. (Sorry I don’t have the software name in mind and I’m not at home now to find it).
So here’s what you do :
- Pick a popular website idea… e.g. a videos website, a games cheats database, a myspace layouts collection.
- Find the most visited websites for the idea you’ve chosen . Get help from Alexa and Compete (I use Firefox’s free extension called SearchStatus, it displays the Pagerank, Alexa and Compete values for every website you visit). Then copycat what seems to be working, and also steal the best ideas about ads placements.
- Make the page that you will transform into an exe file. This page can simply redirect immediately to your website homepage. Or it can be a custom page if you don’t need a redirection to your whole website.
- Create an exe from this page.
- Create a small installer script, that will create an executable to install your program on the user computer. I like NSIS, a free script-based installer maker written by the guys who made winamp. But you can pick anyone you want.
- And finally submit your final installer to shareware repositories. Give it a name which is composed of keywords.
Let’s say you have made a blog where you post some funny videos from youtube. Call your file “Daily funny videos”, with a description such as “A program that brings you daily doses of funny videos”.
And that’s it, because you put it on the shareware websites, when someone is looking for “funny videos”, he will get all the results of the shareware sites (because they rank high in the SERP) pointing to your exe. And the guy who gets your exe will go to your website. You pass over all the other people who’ve made the same kind of site. And another advantage, it’s better than a bookmark, once the guy has the exe installed on his computer, he’s more likely to come back to your site, rather than having a bookmark lost in dozains of others.
So here you go, just start to list all the “old” ideas of money websites, and see which one you want to implement, and take advantage of the easy instant and free traffic that this method brings.
And an extra tip, what I recommend is to be creative, so instead of creating another myspace layouts website, I’d rather write some online software on the website, and make an exe out of it. You can even steal it if you don’t know how to program.
For instance, you search for an online javascript-based Mortgage estimator. You save the page, edit the HTML to keep only the javascript function and parts of the HTML, you write a new layout around. And you put some Mortgage affiliates links to get commissions! Make an exe from it and you’ve got your Mortgage estimator software to distribute…
Think of all high paying sponsors and try to do a google search on “online calculator” + niche name from the sponsor. You’ll find plenty of ideas.

Wow…kinda genius!
Have You already tried this method?
I used it to promote this website.
Do a google search on “make money for beginners”, and you will find me in the top 10, even if it is a very competitive niche.
But maybe I will remove this post because it is actually a great way to take over the competition, and I should keep this idea for myself. If I was thinking about money only, I’d do crappy beginners ebooks “how to make money on ebay”, “how to make money with arbitrage”, etc. and I’d make websites rank top 10 using this technique, and get heaps of cash screwing newbies.
Dude,remove that post immediatley! It’s just too powerful!!!
OH! good idea!
but,but NISS is too hard to use for me……
Can you detailedly describe how to use it?
————————————————-
maybe you can email to us who has seen this idea after you remove this post,tell us how to use NISS. or we wait for new idea that we can do it easier.

wo….good idea,but i can’t ues it……
whatever,Thank you for your share!
If NSIS is too complicated for you, there are plenty of other options available to create an installer, where you don’t have to code.
One tip: When I need some software, I don’t search on Google first, instead I search on sourceforge, because it’s where you can find thousands of free apps.
In this case, it took me 5 minutes to found a free installer creator called “Spoon Installer”.
Anyway I think I’ll make a tutorial later about NSIS because not only you can create installers, but if you think a bit out of the box, you can use it to create programs that will make you money. It’s really great when you don’t know how to code.
And a last remark, I think after all that I’ll let this post public, I know that 99% of the people won’t make anything of it anyway. I’m repeating myself again, but the difference between someone who will succeed in making money and someone who will not, is that one guy will not expect everything to fall in his hands and will do the actions to make money, while the other will give up on the very first problem he’ll encounter.
@cashromeo
There is a BUNCH of ideas he already posted that you can do RIGHT NOW if this is to complicated for you.
Just pick anything and do it.
Hiyah, long time reader, first time poster.
Just out of curiosity, how long does it take from the time you submit your new shareware to all the shareware pages/shareware submission tools until you start seeing an effect in your Google pagerank and/or SERP?
I’m still going to try out your idea in the next couple days, but I just want to know how long it’ll take so I know whether or not I need to try again in the event I did it wrong.
Once you have submitted your software, you get listed in serp within 2-3 days.
Then I’ve seen effects on pagerank going on even 6 months later.
