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 TopicAfter 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.

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.
