Make Money with an Information Website

The internet is a mecca of information. Is there a topic that you're interested in? Gardening, art, scrapbooking, cars? Create an information website that people will find useful.

How to Get Started

1. Think of all the topics you're interested in, then pick one that is popular and will attract visitors. You can find out how popular the topic is on Google Trends.

2. Buy a website name.

3. Gather information and good links to other websites pertaining to that topic and post it on your website.

4. Post ads from Google Adsense. Google will then post related ads on your website. You'll make money from the number of visitors you get and the number of clicks from your visitors.

5. Sign up to become an affiliate (ShareASale or LinkShare) and find companies that are related to your topic. For example, if your website is about scrapbooking, you can find companies that sell scrapbooking paper and supplies. Post their banners on your website and every time one of your visitors clicks their banner and buys something, you'll earn a commission (usually 10-15%) from the sale. Or you can also talk and recommend a product you like from that company and link to it on your website. Same thing happens. If a visitor clicks on your link, buys the item, you earn a commission.
