There are a few different ways to make money with a website. You
could create a web store. Maybe, you like to make greeting cards or some
other craft that you could sell online. Or you could create a website
devoted to intellectual properties you'd like to sell. Like a book.
Perhaps you have a great plan for making money on the internet. You can
build a site around your book. Or you could create an affiliate
marketing site. This is by far my favorite idea for making money on the
internet. With an affiliate program you can create anyone of these types
of sites to get paid and the best part is there is no need for
inventory.
The first thing you do is decide what kind of site it's going to be. A simple affiliate marketing site could be thought of as a single page on the web. Let's say that you have a healthy interest in trail running, like I do. You could create a website that exhibits the places you like to run. You could take pictures,give trail descriptions and lengths, and give GPS coordinates to your favorite spots. Then all you need is some affiliate programs to promote. Making sure that they relate to your core audience for a trail running site.
An example of a larger site could be a blogging site that covers multiple ideas. Each page covers a different topic and offers it's own affiliate banners. The great thing about a blogging site is that you are continually adding new unique content to your website. That will help drive free traffic to your site using search engine rankings. Another advantage is that a blogger can take full advantage of social media sites, this also helps improve their search engine ranking.
Search engines, like Yahoo and Google, are an affiliate marketers best friend. The higher you can get your website to rank for certain keywords the more free traffic your website will receive. For the simple page example of a trail running site it would be important that your content is keyword heavy as well as your page title. Once your main content is written and keyword heavy, go find a good matching affiliate program. For this example maybe you can get in an affiliate program with Brita and their new sports filter bottles.
This is just a hypothetical idea for the use of the example. I'm not even sure that Brita offers a program but, I can promise you that you will be surprised by the number of companies that offer affiliate programs. I suggest perusing commission junction of another affiliate marketing network just to get some ideas.Once you make the decision on the type of website you want to start the next thing to do is get web hosting.
