How To Make Your Own Web Site To Earn Money

Most everyone will agree, if you are going to do business on the internet, you need your own website. After all, it is with this website that you will try to make some money.  The website can be a mini-site or a full blown multi-page content site.

Determine what the topic of your website will be.  Then, decide on the strategy to use to design your site to meet your goals.  For example, if you want to build a site around earning money with Adsense, you will want to consider a content site built around article content about the topic you will target for the Adsense income.

Maybe you have a single product to sell.  The service could be marketed using a mini-site; another word for a one page sales letter type of site.

Now get a website hosting account and a domain name like yoursite.com so you can install your website on the web.  Web hosting accounts vary significantly with disk space allowed, bandwith, number of supported domains, and other important considerations.  When selecting a web host, pay special attention and compare things like PHP support, MySQL database allotment, subdomains, script support and others.  Good hosting is available through hosting companies like Hostgator or Hostmonster.

Start building your website.  I prefer a good seo website builder or a Wordpress blog to build my site.  Create the page content for the site based on the niche topic you selected as your focus.  Add the content to the site based on subject keywords, with each unique page on the site focused on a specific keyword related to your topic.  As you add the content based on your main keyword, add related keywords throughout the same page that follow the same idea as your main keyword.  For example, your main keyword might be “preowned golf clubs”.  A related keyword you would add to the same page might be “used golf clubs”.

When you put together your web site, target your audience. Don’t talk about network marketing to veterinarians. They may be interested in network marketing, but they probably got to your site via a search for a pet animal product and that’s what they’re looking for.  When you know your target audience you can be sure not to write above their heads. Use words they will understand without Webster’s help. You may get by with writing a little below their level, but never above it.

Monetize the content of your seo website.  By monetizing we are adding Adsense ads or affiliate products or services to the site to make money.  Adsense ads earn money when a site visitor clicks on the ad you are publishing on your site.  Affiliate products or services are reviewed on your site to presell them.  This preselling provokes the potential buyer to investigate further by clicking your banner ad or text link.  When clicked, these ad links redirect to the merchant site to close the sale of the product or service.  You, of course, get paid a commission when this process is successfully completed.

Some Important Website Building Tips

Don’t load your site down with slow loading banners and images. Use low-res images that have been optimized for use on the web.

Keep your fonts constant throughout your site. Variety may be the “spice of life” but can really look lousy on a web page. You can vary the size a bit, and throw in a little color, but stay conservative with the type style.

Add pictures on your site but don’t over do it.  Pictures attract attention and also make your site look good.

Highlight important selling words and phrases with bolding, italics, underlining, and color. Just don’t overdo it.

Purchases are never made on logic, but on emotion. Use copy that is designed to trigger an emotional response, such as a sense of loss; one of the strongest: “If you wait, this offer may no longer be available at this price. Get it now at this ridiculously low price, and it’s yours forever.”

Once you are online focus on driving targeted traffic to your web site.  The two main things to do for natural search engine traffic are to keep your site updated with fresh content and to add backlinks consistently.
