I just found postloop.com (PostLoop.com) and really like the idea of this site! As a forum owner, I can sign up, register my forum(s), and make posts in other qualifying forums to earn points. You can also purchase points..
Once you have points, other users will sign up on your forums and earn your points with posts. It’s a great free way to get a new forum or blog off the ground. Give it a shot!

I’ve started, run, and eventually sold Internet community sites. I never intended to sell them, but as they got more popular they were more difficult to find the time to run unless I took them over as my full-time job.
The longest running site we had was PWCToday.com. It is a PWC/Jetski community website that we (my wife and I) started in June of 2000. Five years later we found that we had to make a choice of either me quitting my regular job or selling the site. It had grown so large that it needed more time than we had hobby-wise to put into it.
It was and still is the most popular jetski website on the Internet! That’s a great sign from a website – meaning that you could depend on it for daily income and replace your current job with something that you’re excited about! We took the low road and sold it to a company that was in the industry. I was itching to try my hand at other things after seeing how well we did with that one!
Since I can’t seem to get it to format right, i’ve uploaded the PDF file for this article – it’s pretty long…

Set up a simple automated wordpress site! I recently re-did a bunch of my domain names – and planning to do more of the ones I have parked…
By using some Google rss feeds and the wordpress plugin ‘feedwordpress’ I was able to set these up to run automagicly – then I set up 3 adsense spots to get some extra money coming my way instead of my registrar’s way.. this way i’m actually running (at this point) 7 current news sites with absolutely no input from myself.
When the google spider finally gets around to finding them it’ll grab all the current headlines – which is what most people will be searching for in the first place.. and these sites will hopefully place higher up in the search results.
It all sounds like a good idea – let’s see how it pans out!
