Business Ideas for Techie Teens: Get Paid to Game Google

If you are great with web designing and you can definitely blog or create content and would like to know about another option on how you can make money online using another online business model, read on.

Reputation Defender, an online identity monitoring service, is a search engine optimization company that does what it claims as “Google insulation.”

For a monthly $10 fee, it monitors what information about the client is being disseminated online. And for an extra $30, it can “destroy” content that is not favorable to the client. via Forbes

This is one of the businesses that Google helps make thrive.

What does it take to put up this kind of online business?

Aside from web development, being a search engine optimization expert helps a great deal. How do you become an SEO guru? Learn how to make your site stand out in the Search Engine Results Pages of various search engines, especially Google, Yahoo, and MSN. This endeavor usually entails knowing how to write SEO-friendly content, making a website design easy to get crawled by the search engine bots, and other promotional techniques such as social media marketing and viral marketing skills.

What if you’re already good at those stuff? You can go ahead and look for small SEO projects first using Craigslist, Monster Job site, and Web Master forums. Starting with your own blog is an important baby step if you’d like to start mastering the required skills for this business.

However, it pays to write a great business plan or conceptualize an SEO Business that will set you apart from the competition. If I’m great with programming, I’d like to create a software that will make online monitoring a breeze - a Google Alert’ish app that applies to all search engines maybe? Or how about package or bundled services like web content writing that aims to lipservice my client with automatic bashing of the competition? Just kidding.

Seriously, using SEO to promote this blog is one of my goals and I will announce the official challenge next week so stay tuned.
