1. Build a website on a niche subject that you know
about and are interested in and write original content
for it. You can make money by placing Google advertising
on the web pages that you produce. When someone clicks
on one of the Google adverts on your web page you make
a small amount which is usually a few pence, although it
can be up to a pound a click depending on what your subject
matter is. Of course if you get a good stream of visitors
to your site, then this may add up to a worthwhile income
stream. The Google advertising program is called Google
Adsense and you can find out more about how it works and
join the program for free by visiting http://www.google.com/services
Make sure that you place the Google Adsense adverts in prominent
areas of your web pages as this will greatly increase the
number of visitors clicking on your Google adverts.
2. You can also make money off your website from
affiliate programs. An affiliate program is where
a company will pay you a commission for a sale or a lead
generated from your website. For best results it is best
to put links to affiliates that sell products and services
that are related to your site’s subject matter.
There are some third party companies which look after hundreds
of companies affiliate programs making it easier for you
to find, join and administer your affiliate programs. Three
of the main ones are Commission Junction, Trade doubler and
UK Affiliates. It is free to join these and they will give
you access to hundreds of affiliate programs so you will
be able to pick out the right affiliate programs for your
website audience.
3. Set up a blog on a niche subject that interests
you and write posts to it regularly and make money
by placing Google Adsense ads on it and
affiliate programs. This is a similar business model to
building a website on a niche topic except that it easier
to set up, maintain as you do not need to know how to build
a website and can be done completely for free if you use
a service like blogger.com. This is because they will host
your blog for free, you just have to post regularly to
your blog to produce the content that will attract your
target audience.
