Having a developed site, however, could be more likely to earn you money in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are you providing value for your visitors by producing a site with relevant content, but you also have other options for revenue streams such as AdSense, affiliate listings, and review sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But what if you have hundreds of domains?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After you have read the article To Renew or Not to Renew, and have completed the evaluation of your current portfolio, your domains should be categorized into folders. Your \u201cDevelopment Domains\u201d folder will contain those you\u2019ve chosen to establish. From this folder, choose one domain name that ignites passion in you.\u00a0 And don\u2019t forget that <a title=\"Domain Broker\" href=\"https:\/\/mediaoptions.com\">domain brokers<\/a> like Media Options can help you sell domains that you\u2019re no longer passionate about!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hire Someone to Do the Work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are many great freelance sites that offer outsourcers for site creation, whether that is from scratch, using WordPress , Joomla or other platforms.\u00a0 Three great ones are Elance.com, Guru.com and oDesk.com.\u00a0 All three use similar rating systems, and offer a wide variety of skilled freelancers to hire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to Look For in a Freelancer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each professional will have a profile, which includes her skills, feedback and portfolio of previous work.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Skill Tests: although there are many skill tests such as PHP programming, WordPress development and content writing offered by the sponsoring sites, beware of providers that have a large amount of top scoring test results; I found out that the answers to these tests are published online on cheater sites.<\/li>\n<li>Feedback:\u00a0 feedback is a better way to find possible providers for your job.\u00a0 Pay attention to the comments more than the number of stars given, for not all previous employers had realistic expectations.\u00a0 If you see common threads throughout, such as \u201con time delivery\u201d and \u201cvery creative,\u201d this may be a good indicator of the work tendencies of that provider.<\/li>\n<li>Portfolio: review a provider\u2019s portfolio to ensure that their work is up to your standards.\u00a0 Skill levels vary widely, and published work is a good way to check if the navigation and layout flows properly, for example.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Consider First Timers for a Small Job<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just because a provider doesn\u2019t have any feedback doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s unworthy.\u00a0 It\u2019s common for freelancers to sign up with several different sites for extended work opportunities.\u00a0 Check out his portfolio, and open up a discussion to see if you may be a good fit.\u00a0 New providers are often willing to work very hard for the chance to build their portfolios, so start with a small job and go from there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take a Look Around<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pick one of the freelancing sites, and get a feel for what\u2019s being offered there.\u00a0 Look at the portfolios of providers available for hire.\u00a0 Create a free account in order to save profiles of prospects that you can invite to consider bidding on future job postings. Your time is precious.\u00a0 Make it count by doing the domain-related tasks that you enjoy; when you tackle one site at a time and develop a relationship with a great freelancer, it\u2019s easier to rinse and repeat with those domains you\u2019d like to see making money for you.\u00a0 And for those that you aren\u2019t passionate about, send them our way so that we can help find a suitable buyer for you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outsourcing Your Web Site Development Using Freelancers We talk often around here about making the most of your domain names.\u00a0 Back in days past, we used to be able to park our domains and collect checks from the ad revenue.\u00a0 While that still works for some key players, many domain names are not earning enough &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":3945,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1151","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>There is Only 24 Hours in a Day!
