How to Make Money From YOUR OWN WEBSITE
Now a days, you don't need to be a computer whiz kid to start a website and build it up from the ground. All it takes is basic IT skills, a drive to succeed, dedication and time. If you lack any of these things then there probably is no reason to try it. But small business such as .com websites is making people from all backgrounds and ages money. Believe it or not, I’m only 15 and i have made this website with out spending any money. You are probably wondering how you do it.
STEP 1: HOW TO START YOUR WEBSITE ( if you already have a site but not a lot of traffic go down the page some more)
By Administrator
Before you consider going ahead and purchasing the necessities to continue to make your website, ie the domain name, the web hosting space and all the other add ons, you need to be sure this is what you want to do. Like me, i was very wary of losing my own money and didn't want to risk, basically because i had no idea what i was doing. Therefore, i was not inclined to join Joomla or another company offering me a .com and web space for £12 a month for 11 months. So I decided to opt for the cheapest, and what i consider the best offer i could receive- and it was free. This website gave me a great package with my own .com domain, own email address and enough bandwidth and storage usage and it was all free. The company was Microsoft and the package was MICROSOFT OFFICE LIVE BASICS. So now, even if i was a few weeks down the line and lost all ambitious to go ahead and make the website, i was not in a state of commitment in which i would lose money, so it was a win-win situation for me.
Because i found this package early, i could think about my idea or theme for my site later on. Choosing a theme for your site is quite hard- but once you have your theme you are set. After this is done, you can start building and if you opt for Office live basics, setting it up will be easy and self explanatory. The suggestions i make for your them is:
1. Make sure it is about something you know about- don’t give out wrong information to people
2. Make it a low maintainence site, which doesn't need updating alot - so a news website is a lot of work
3. Try not to commit to something that will be long and tiring
4. Make sure you want to write/make a site about it.
STEP 2: HOW TO PROMOTE YOUR WEBSITE

STEP 3: HOW TO GET TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE
How Do I Get Traffic To My Website?
By Vickie Scanlon
Internet Marketing requires you to sale other people’s products or services, or if you have decided to create your own product, sale your own. But whether you are selling your own or others, we all have one thing in common – getting traffic to our websites. But what is most important is not just getting traffic, but targeted traffic. Thus, How Do you or I get traffic to our sites? In my early beginnings on the Internet, I tried many methods of getting traffic to my website. I was definitely a newbie in training – some of the software or services that I bought did me no good. I found, at times, that it was truly difficult to decipher which was a good deal and which was not – who was honest, and who was not – but I guess it goes with the Internet territory – and you must always do your due diligence.However, I have found three methods of getting traffic to my site or affiliate product or service – Buying it – PPC, such as Google, Mamma, Overture, linking or the hard one Search Engine Optimization.
Pay-Per-Click
If you have the money to invest in Google or some of the other search engines pay-per-click programs you can make some money. Here you create an ad or ads relevant to your affiliate program, and place a bid on the keywords you select. This takes time, energy, persistence and money – and research. Also, I would advise that you read your affiliate programs rules, as well as, the rules of Google Adwords before jumping into the pay-per-click arena. You usually have to put “aff” after your ad or something similar to that – it’s dependent upon the affiliate program you are in. The idea with pay-per-click is that you pay only when the individual clicks on your ad.
Linking
Linking can be by either paid or unpaid methods. The paid methods are paying for your link to be shown in Ezines, newsletters or on other peoples’ sites. It can be costly, so the best suggestion that I can give you is to research the Ezines, newsletters and or other people sites that you want to link with before buying. In most cases, if ezines are accepting advertising, you know they must have at least 500+ subscribers, or I should say, be sure that they have at least 500+ subscribers before advertising in their ezine. Know what you are getting before you put your money down – and as they always say, be sure to read the fine print.
The unpaid method is through article creation. This requires hard work on your part, but the return will be seen in the long term. Keep in mind, your articles should be relevant and address the subject matter of your site and products. Content reigns king on the Internet – and if it is relevant to their needs – they will eventually come to read.
Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization is basically the optimization of your web pages so that you can get a decent ranking by the search engines, and thus, to pull people to your website by it relevance. This is a difficult chore and needs to continually be worked at – and within the ethics of the Search Engines.
To conclude, getting targeted people to your site is really part of growing your business. And Internet marketing – well, it’s not for the faint-hearted, but for the determined, persistent individual who wants to really make a living on-line. Thus, if you really want to make a living on-line – don’t give up and promote.
