Create A Free Website
Before I show you how to create a website think about what your website will be all about. What is your interest? What is your hobby? What would you like to write about?
So think of a name for your site that will also be the name of your domain e.g. makemoneyonline.com and therefore your site name would be ‘Make Money Online’. Another example would be ‘Best Kitchen Blenders’ so the domain name would be bestkitchenblenders.com.
All good? Ready, Set, Go … Here is the link to create your own website:
Congratulations! You have created your first website! The cool thing is that if you are not happy with the name of your site you can delete the site and install your free site as often as you want.
Now, you have got a website but what can you do with it? How will people now that your site even exists? And if you would like to earn money with it, how do you monetize your site?
Four Simple Steps
You have taken the first two steps :
- You choose an interest . In the online business world, it is called a niche
- You have built a website. Hurray!
The other two very important steps are:
- Get Traffic (visitors) to your website.
- Earn money with your website.
These are probably the most important things to know about and most people know very little about. If you are keen to learn more about it and you want to learn how to succeed with your website than look no further.

How To Make Money With Your Site
This infographic shows you the process of earning money online. It is a simple process but it takes a lot of hard work and commitment. It is not a get rich quick scheme. I don’t believe in this kind of thinking.
The key element is to write quality content for your website within your chosen niche.
For instance, I choose the ‘travel with kids’ niche because I have been traveling a lot with my children in the last few years. You can read more about me here. This is something I feel very passionate about and I have gained a lot of knowledge.
I also built my website (with the help of Wealthy Affiliate University) to travel the world with my family and take my business with me and earn money at the same time. How fantastic is that!
6 Ways To Make Money Online
There are basically six different ways to make money online.
- Affiliate Programs
- Adsense ads
- Building an email list
- Amazon
- Finding relevant advertisers
- Create your own product
Let’s talk about Amazon as an example. Amazon has got products in every niche possible. It is the biggest online seller in the world. So if you promote products on your website that are available on Amazon to purchase you can put a link on your site that would take your visitor to the Amazon store. If this person buys something through your link you will get a commission from Amazon. That is your revenue or passive income.
This is just a brief explanation for this pretty straight forward process. If you would like to read more about it and explore the other five ways of earning money, please read here. This is an in-depth blog written by Jessica who has been with Wealthy Affiliate University for more than seven years.
