If you want to make money, website start-up ideas which could help you achieve your goal include selling your own products, writing reviews for other people's products and earning advertising revenue.
Once you have chosen your niche and decided which money-making method or methods you want to use, you will need to get your website set up. You can either set up a site on your own domain or if you want a free option, you can set up a free blog.
For your own website, you'll need a hosting account, which you can get for as little as $7.95 a month and a domain name, which you can get for an annual fee of around $8.95. You can use a free HTML editor such as Kompozer and upload your pages using a free ftp programme. So, with so much free stuff available to help you, you won't have to make a huge investment.
It is free to sign up as an affiliate for digital products in the ClickBank marketplace and many marketers offer you affiliate resources such as banners, emails and articles to help you get started.
There are a few things to learn if you are to master the skills needed to get a website online, but you can find plenty of free tutorials by searching on Google and also many instructional videos on YouTube which will teach you all the basics. All you have to do is spend a bit of time searching for exactly what you need. Some videos are clearer than others and so you might need to watch a few before finding one which works well for you.
Once your website is online, you will need to get some information up there. There are two main ways in which people start out online. The first is creating a simple squeeze page which will capture the name and email address of readers in return for a free report, e-book or similar digital product. Doing this will help you build a list of potential customers to whom you can market products in the future. You will need an autoresponder to collect names and addresses and send out follow-up emails.
The second common start up website is a content site, which has articles on themes related to your niche. If you have a blog you will post articles on a daily basis or two or three times a week.
Once you have set up a good number of articles, offering valuable information to readers, you can apply to Google AdSense or similar programmes and once accepted, add code to your site. Advertisements related to your content will then be displayed on your pages and you will be paid a percentage of the cost per click each time someone clicks on an ad. You must read the terms of service very carefully and look out for changes in the rules, which can affect your earnings.
