The online culture has become a way of life for many people and in some cases even a way for many people to make a living from, which is just great.
How do they do this?
One of the best ways to make money online is to make use of a website either do the following,
- Make money from blog posting and/or web content writing services – Ghostwriting and Guest blogging are great ways to get your name out there and to help build a follower network.
- Open an online store and sell your goods online to make a living – a good example of this is selling your screen printed clothing online.
As you have probably noticed by now both of these options make use of an online website which is the perfect way to start anything online and begin to make money.
Step 1
The first step which you will want to take is to choose what you would like your domain name to be. It is often a good idea to name your domain name after your business or if you a blogger choose a domain mane which will work with your theme of your blog.
Step 2
Choose your hosting plan, most people will want to make use of a free hosting plan and to be perfectly honest with you, unless you are selling your goods on Shopify or Esty you will not be able to make any money at all and if you are wanting to make money from writing web content you will need to make use of a paid hosting plan.
So the best option is to look at either bluehost.com (WordPress) or Namecheap if you are looking at using any other website domain instead of .com or even if you are thinking about making use of other website platforms.
Step 3
Install your platform of choice.
This is an easy step as by now you should who what you want to make use of, if not I recommend making use of WordPress as your base site. To find WordPress all you have to do is go to WordPress.org and download it and follow the instructions from their site.
Step 4
The next step is one of the more important options where you will have to set up and design your website.
There are a few key factors to keep in mind, but if you keep the user in mind then your website should be all good to go.
Step 5
Lastly you will need to make use of SEO tactics and monetize your websites, meaning that your websites are designed to gain more followers which will, in turn, help you to make money from ad services and if you choose to make use of the online store version of making money online, then you can make use of SEO to help increase the amount to visitors and implement CRO to make sure that the number of people visiting your store become the same amount of people buying items from your store.
