A business directory on the other hand can earn you a lot of money and easily. To do that, you first need to know what a business directory is. A business directory is the same as a telephone index containing details and contacts of businesses. It is the same as the earlier printed yellow pages but with many advanced features.
On an online business directory, you can enter much more details about your products and services, leave backlinks to your website which will later help you increase traffic and visitors to your website.
So, how do you build a business directory? There are many free directory scripts available online and you can choose any that suits your need.
The main question is how can you earn? You already know the basic feature of a business directory is that it helps people to add their website and contacts so they will get backlinks to their website. In order to start earning from your business directory, first you need a big database for your directory. To do that, you need to allow people to submit links for free. Once you have maximum links and have spent two three months the same way, your traffic will increase and so will the ratings of your website.
From here, you take it step by step. Once you are getting daily links, you can now add a premium link, meaning that result will be displayed on top of any search result. You can charge a little for that premium link and gradually increase the fee. This will let you earn a little for beginners.
Once your UK business directory is established and have a better ranking, you can make your directory a paid submission. A monthly or yearly fee can be kept for submissions and if you have good backlinks, good traffic and good ratings, people wont mind paying a little to list their websites.
