Make A Website

Making a website is not an easy task. When I started I new nothing about making websites. I started using a free web hosting service and bought a domain name.  After a lot of work I built my first small informative site. Now how do I make money? After learning about and joining affiliate programs I added advertisements to my pages. After my site was complete, I wondered, "now what?" So I researched and researched and researched. There are a ton of sites with lots of information on how to promote a website.

I first attempted listing my site on a free advertising sites  online. This was a start, I soon realized I was making a little bit of money on my site. Obviously, this tactic was not getting me a lot of traffic, but it was a start. I needed to get my site on google. So I followed some simple steps to get traffic to my site from google.

The first step to creating website is to choose a web host.

What is a web host?

A web host is basically a place to rent web space on the internet. If you are looking to make a website you will have to rent a space on the internet through a web hosting service.

 

You will go to this rented space to control and create your web pages. You can also choose a company that will create and host your website for you with the data you provide. Most web hosting services charge around $10 a month. When you choose a web host they will guide you through the creation of your site. Most will offer a web tutorial about how to build your site. I recommend using Web.com

After choosing a web host, you will need to choose a topic.

Pick Topic

After choosing web host you will need to pick a topic for your site. If you already have a business then you now what your topic will be. If however you are starting a website for the purpose of making money from advertising you will need to pick at topic.

To start think of something you are interested in and know a lot about. For example, if you know a lot about horses and how to take care of them, then you could make a site about horses and how to take care of them, how much work they are, how much it will cost to feed them, etc. Make sure your topic is good, interesting, and something people would search for information on. 

Build Site

The next step is to build your site. Most web host will have a tutorial leading you through the process of building your site. It is a fairly simple process once you get the hang of it. You must have a little patience to get started but it will be worth it in the end.

Make Money 

Once you have completed the above steps and publish your site, you can join affiliate programs.

What is an affiliate program? There are two basic types of affiliates. The first and probably more popular is pay-per-click. Pay-per-click is when you get paid from users clicking on your advertisement banners from sites like Google Adsense.  The amount that clicks are worth varies. It could be $5 a click or $.05 a click. It just depends on how much advertisers are willing to pay. They use sites like Google adwords to show their ads.The second affiliate type is commission. You join the affiliate program and apply to join advertisers like Sports Authority is you have a sports site.

When you add their banner to your site and customers click through your banner or link to Sports Authority and purchase something, you get a commission from that sale. It depends on what kind of site you have for what kind affiliates you want to use. You can advertise both types of affiliates and see which one is making you more money. Once you have joined affiliate programs you will need to implement them into your site.

The next thing you will need to do is get your site out on the web. Learn how here.
