So you want a profitable website. You do a search on Google and
find 56,293,580 websites that will tell you how to go about
creating your business. Everyone promises the moon. You start
clicking on links and what do you find?
Everyone wants to sell you something!
Their special ebook that will tell you all the answers. Or, if
you buy their software, you will be making money tomorrow. Join
their membership website for X amount of dollars per month and
you will have all the information you need. RIGHT!
I know how you feel, I searched and searched for that one
person or program that would actually help me and not take all
my money in the process. I tried to go it alone and built many
websites. All of them were failures. So I searched again for the
help I needed. I never found the website I was looking for. But
I did figure out how to do it.
What did I do?
First I started examining all the websites that were on
Google's first search results page. I studied and disected these
websites. I tried to look for those few things that all these
websites had in common.
Then, I downloaded every free ebook I could get my hands on.
The writers of these ebooks were trying to sell me the next big
trick but each one had some good, helpful information.
Next I joined 27 newsletters and ezines and spend months
reading. Most of these newsletters tried to sell me things too,
but they couldn't just send out ads, everyone would quit their
newsletter. So in order for these ezine owners to keep their
readers, they had to give some valuable free information. I took
notes and read some more.
I eventually had an entire notebook full of information. That
was when I thought I would try out all this new information so I
built a website. I used all the tricks I had learned and in
about a month, I made $590.45. Yes, it's true, you can build a
profitable website without spending all your savings.
I realize $590.45 doesn't make me a millionaire but it's a good
start. I have since built three more websites, all of them
bringing in more and more money each month. $590.45 was just a
drop in the bucket but you have to start somewhere.
Was it hard? No, not really. I do have to warn you though. It
does take work. You don't rent some web space and fill it full
of links and make money. It takes time and effort.
If you are still reading this article, there is a good chance
that you are one of the few who will succeed. Most people would
have stopped reading when I mentioned I was taking notes.
There is one big secret to building a money making website. It
really isn't even a secret, it's just the answer you must have
or you will never get anywhere. You have to write content. No
one will visit your website if you don't have any information
for them to read.
Most web surfers don't research topics on the internet looking
for things to buy. The purchase, is a by product of a good
recommendation from a trusted webmaster. You will have to create
your information web site and offer compelling content. Once the
visitor believes you actually know what you are talking about,
they will probably decide to use your recommendation and make a
purchase from your links.
If you can read and write, you can have a profitable website.
If you are looking for a get rich quick scheme, you are on the
wrong side of the table. The only people who get rich from those
schemes are the ones selling them. By the way, what did they do
to get you to look at their product? That's right! Even scammers
have to write content.
If you are willing to do the time and put in some effort, you
can make money. That's the only way to make money online. Don't
let anyone tell you different, all they want is your money.
