You’ve probably heard people talking about how easy it is to make money with a website. But if you have never even set up a website before it can be really confusing to know where to start. You will find all sorts of different websites telling you about the “perfect” way to make money and how easy it is.
Fist of all, you should know that making money with a website can take in various forms. Some people set up what is known as an e-commerce site where real products are sold. Basically you need to find products that you can sell for a profit, is in demand and can easily be shipped out to the customer. This is much easier said that done. Here are the problems with setting up an e-commerce site:-
1) A lot of companies require you to spend a minimum amount of money with them yet if you don’t have much money to spend you might not be able to afford the minimum order.
2) Many companies don’t provide photographs of the products which means if you are selling something like fashion accessories you will need to take the photographs yourself . This isn’t very easy if you are not familiar with product photography.
3) You’ll have to compete with the larger stores that have really professional photographs and website design which make the products look amazing. If you are on budget and have to do all the website work yourself you might not be able to create the professional image you are looking for.
4) What if you don’t get enough people to visit your store and you are left with loads of stock you can’t sell? You could therefore end up losing a lot of money.
5) What happens if you want to take time off for vacation or illness? If you are working on your own you might not have anyone to run your business which means shutting up shop for that time. Resulting in loss of revenue and customer trust.
So is there a way of making money with a website that will offer you the following benefits?
Requires no start-up money
Requires no technical knowledge
Will earn you passive income 24/7
Actually, the answer is yes. Here at Word Wolf you can easily make money by writing articles on any subject you wish and in return you will receive the majority of the advertising revenue. Here’s what you need to do:-
Get Yourself a Google Adsense Publisher ID
For those of you who are not familiar with Adsense, Google displays targeted ads on your webpages and you then receive a percentage of what the advertiser spends. Thousands upon thousands of advertisers from all around the world advertise their products and services with Google which means you don’t have to worry about finding these advertisers yourself. All you have to do is write the articles and Google will then display the most appropriate ads.
How to Create An Adsense Account
If you don’t yet have an account with Adsense you need to create an account with Word Wolf by clicking here. Then you need to add at least 6 articles which are about 400 - 500 words in length. Make sure that these articles are helpful to visitors and will help them find what they are looking for.
You can then sign up for Adsense here. When signing up for Adsense they will ask you for your website address. What you need to give them is your author profile page which will look something like: http://wordwolf.com/author/myusername.html.
What Should Your Articles Be About?
They can be pretty much about anything, however it’s a good idea to write about a topic that you are familiar with. If you have a dog you could write about dog training or the costs involved in owning a dog. If you’ve just been on vacation you could write about that.
When giving a title to your article make sure you think about what someone might actually type into the search engines. There’s no point in giving your article a title of “Why I Love Barbados” because it’s unlikely anyone will search for that. Instead something like “Where To Stay in Barbados” would be more appropriate.
Hopefully this article will give you some ideas about how you can genuinely make money with a website, no matter what level of experience you have. How much you earn will entirely depend on how much work you put into it. You might only have an hour a day which means you’ll possibly earn enough to buy a few treats for yourself. Whereas if you have several hours a day you can easily make a full time income. You can also work wherever and whenever you like as all you need is a computer with an internet connection.
