Web site Creation ideas

Making money online can be incorporated into any of these website types: informational, how to, ecommerce, personal.

Be thinking of a domain name that will help you target your traffic (helpful to what your site theme is in your domain name, but not necessary).

If you decide to create a site on "your dogs health" all of your information needs to stay with that theme.

When I have looked for information on a certain topic: example: "how to teach kids to save money." I have found products on the website I went to with jewelry, pet health, dental insurance and finding the best credit card for bad credit. What does each of these items have to do with teaching kids to save money. Absolutely nothing!

Stay with your niche theme on your website.

Also, take a look at the many more different website types.

Personal Website/Blogging

More and more people are getting into blogging. You do not have your own domain name. You are a sub-domain under the blogging company that is hosting you. There are many good programs that you can use to make a blog. Wordpress.com or Blogger.com to name a few. The search engines do like blogs because they are (most of the time) updated frequently. Many people that start a blog use affiliate marketing to generate income and the blogs that you see that are making money are using theme relevance on their blogging page.

Many people believe their roads to richs can be found when they create a blog instead of a website. Here is a great article on blog vs build a website to help you decide which one would be right for you.

Informational / How to Website

Many people overlook this type of a website thinking money can not be made with them. How can you sell information online? You are not selling information, but writing about information that people are looking for then directing them to sites to purchase the products ( affiliate marketing).

People look for all types of information. Especially "how to": repair credit, lose weight, save money, cook a quick meal, eat healthy, grow an organic garden, etc....

How many times have you asked a person or has someone asked you, "How to (fill in the blank)" You can create a website on this information.

People have all kinds of knowledge that they do not realize they have.

Create a website on how to (do something).

I started a list of how to's you may want to explore.

• Find a job
• Write a resume
• Do's and don'ts for job interviews
• Lose weight
• Work from home (very competitive area)
• Draw
• Repair things
• Plan a wedding
• Cook a meal

ECommerce = Selling Products Online.

Many people are using their hobby, arts, crafts or dropshipping to make money online. Selling products online can be very rewarding if you know what you are doing, but 98% of small business online retailer fail. Find out why they fail.

Many people are using their "how to" for an eCommerce website to generate monthly income. If their website is about golfing, they may be selling golf shoes, clubs, bags, clothing and such, but also they may create an e-book to give away free. When you have satisfied customers, they will tell their friends (when they are out golfing (of course) about your website on golf products.

Dropshipping

Many people are making good money on the Internet by building their own online store and actually supplying the products to their customers. This is called dropshipping. The power sellers on eBay have been making a killing by dropshipping products from their auctions for years. These power sellers have also found out that by having their own website, they can link their auctions to their websites.

NOTE: I have seen countless lists of dropshippers for sale on the internet. Do not waste your money to buy these lists. They may be inexpensive but usually are outdated and only give you a company name and then you must contact the company to find out if they will even work with you.

If you are interested in building an online store, World Wide Brands is the best place to find companies that will dropship. They have free ebooks to help you get started. I have been a member for over 5 years and have been extremely pleased with all their resources.
