Decide on an award in a targeted niche market: Maybe "5 star fitness" site given to top 
fitness sites or "Elite Internet Sites" for internet marketing, or whatever is your specific 
interest. Design a really well done graphic for your logo. Set up a submission database 
for people to send in submissions. Then, go off searching for sites who deserve your 
award. Once you have given away your award and have enough sites linking to you...you 
can also begin to send out press releases and start getting known in that area. The key to 
this program is to pick a very interesting title for your award and correctly move in the 
right market. 
18. Consumer Reports
Become a watchdog of the industry...any industry. Do reports on automobiles or money 
making programs. Review personal care items or exercise equipment. Become a 
consumer expert in any area protecting and enlightening the consumers in your expertise. 
The key is to get enough good quality information and reviews to make your site 
interesting. Then, your revenues will come through advertising or other incomes you may 
add as you go along. 
19. News
You would think that this area would be impossible to get into with all of the news giants 
out there. Well, it would be...if you were trying to cover everything. You, as a small 
business, would want to cover one area of interest and collect all of the news that has to 
do with that area. Think about it. The Drudge report went after gossip online and build 
message boards and chat rooms around it...becoming one of the top sites on the internet 
and producing a TV show for the owner. 
20. Travel
Exotic destinations...cruises for the millionaires...etc. This is a fun one. You could stay 
reviewing travel destinations, hotels, restaurants, etc. Find one of the packages where you 
can become a travel agent and sell tickets (with the actual travel agency handling the 
actual bookings and money) for different destinations. Actually take the tours and review 
them. Combine this one with the Watchdog idea above and warn people about deceptive 
travel agencies and places. Have fun doing your business.
