Finding ways to make an income online can be done and did you know that you can use expired domains as a way to generate a cash income? OK you have to do a little more than just buy an expired domain and then expect the income to just roll in, some work has to be done but it really is easy and a good way to have an income source on auto pilot once it has been set up.
These older sites will have a lot of work done already so some link building would have been done and if a site was any good then people would have link to it and others would have remembered it as a good place for gathering information.
The best way is to find an expired domain at one of the registration companies that deal with them online and run a variety of checks such as how many back links a site has to how many pages were indexed, and which pages still are indexed.
Using websites like the way back checker can provide this information and you can sometimes find the old content that has been written which is great because that will save you a ton of time so you will not need to write any fresh content.
You can then buy the domain set the site up and add Google AdSense to the site which is a hands free way of monetizing the site.
You will then need to do some basic search engine optimization on the web building platform of your choice which can be done pretty quickly and then just build a few more links to help the site get back its ranking and let the search engines find the old site.
If the site has a good amount of old traffic then you should see some results, but with anything I can not guarantee it will make you rich.
