Imagine making a six digit income from an informational website that you built, and on a topic that you love! There are many website's out there that will help you figure out what you want to make your website about. The best and most well known is Site Build It. Site build it teaches you exactly how to build a successful website and how to earn money from it. Yet it is a little spendy it is very well worth it. If you are serious about building a website and making money off it you will need help unless you have experience in web design.
Say your favorite hobby is playing basketball, you could make a website with information on how to become a better player. You could post drills, history of the game, images and videos. This would be a fun site for you to build because it is your favorite hobby and you would be making money!
How do you get money if your not selling anything?
Ever since about 2000 there has become this new thing called ADSENSE. It is google's way of advertising through you. They will pay you to put links on your site, and every time someone visits your site and clicks one of those links, you get paid!
Affiliate programs are another great way to make money. Affiliate programs pay you if you get someone to sign up for their website. You are the middle man, and you are getting paid for what other people are buying and you never have to touch the product. It is usually a company selling a program or product of some sort. Affiliate Programs pay you any where from 7-75% of their earnings. If you need a good affiliate site to put on your Website check out AssociatePrograms.com
Site Build It will teach you how to make something you like into a money making website.
What if I want to sell something?
There are many things you can sell on website's, most people go for electronics because they are the most popular and they sell for the most on ebay. The thing is, if everyone is doing it you are going to be competing against so many other people, so you will need to get a good Wholesale List or a good drop shipping service. There are many great wholesalers and drop shippers it is just very hard to find them sometimes. A good wholesale website is Alibaba.com
E-goods
E-goods are items that you can never run out of. E-goods are things such as e-books, programs, or data, that you can transfer over the web without ever having to touch a product. I really like E-goods because you never have to go to the post office or the ups store to ship things. You can set up an automated service that sends the e-goods to the buyer immediately once they have paid. It is a very nice way to make a good income.
You don't NEED a website for selling products, but it is very helpful because you can set up your own payment processor so you do not have to worry about fees on auction site, which can add up to 7% or more. The 7% may not sound like a lot, but what if you are selling items for $49.99 each, they take $3.50 out of it. You are paying $30.50 ever ten items you sell! $350.00 for every 100 items you sell! It feels a lot better to receive all the money you deserve!
I highley suggest, if you are wanting to make a website you follow the links at the bottom of each of the next few pages, to bring you to the next page.
