how do ........

[rickyharris]

I make abit of money of the internet from hme?

Im 16 and i just wna make abit of money, i dont care if its £50 a week or 100,000 pounds a year. lol well ok thatd be nice. But i just want to make some of my own money, and maybe learn abit about making money on the internet and in the future make a business or something.

Are there ways? Something which isnt overly technical! lol, which i dont have to be a complete computer genius to do!

Thanks,
Rick

do you have a debit or credit card? Can you afford $5 to $10 a month for a website?

I just put together this website the other day, its not that advanced and you probably wouldn't make a lot of money, but you might make some if you do a good job. I made step by step instructions on how to make a free games website with advertising on it. Here are the instructions.

That seems quite cool. Although it would be real small its a good thing for me to start learning more about internet business and building my own website.

Could I make £50 a week doing that? Just some pocket money so i dont have to keep asking my mum and dad for things.

Thats the only reason i want to do this lol. Plus I enjoy doing things like this.

YOu proably wont, if you want some pocket money your much better off just working a couple hours a week at a grocery store.

[rickyharris]

Yeh thatd be the easy option lol but I want to learn alot more about business and stuff on the internet. I am very interested design and stuff. And maybe id like to something like it in the future.

[rickyharris]

but if there is things which arnt overly technical but you have to put in alot of hard work on ur computer to make some money im prepared to do that as well, dont just throw all the easy options at me lol.

yes be prepared to put in alot of late nights. After setting up your website you have to get traffic. This can serve to be difficult because everyone out there is trying to promote there website (even me). You are gonna need to be willing to put about 20 hours a week just to get it started. Then you probibly want to look into something like google ad sense. They havent been paying as much per click because more and more people are signing up for it. But there are other programs that are similer to it.

Do you have a computer skill or service you could provide? Web site design, advice, etc.?

[radreality]

the thing about making money online is that there is a learning curve. You can't instantly expect to start making decent money. No matter what type of thing you choose to do online, it is all about how much traffic you are able to get to your site. Anything will make you money, its just about how well you are able to market it.

The key is to just do something. Open the door up and do something. You will change your mind over time, but its all a learning process. Just get started on it.

oh and by the way, I have only had that games site up for two weeks and its already made about $70. Its just something I'm doing for some additional advertising revenue for my company. It was easy to set up and doesn't require any ongoing maintence. So it will hopefully continue providing a little residual revenue (thats the idea at least). Its more of an experiment than anything else.

would i be able to get like funny pictures and funny videos on my site for free as well do you think?

I havent singed up with homestead yet, but would i have to have .homestead.com on the end of my domain name?

So can you explain how i make the money. Is it basically i have a small website, like a free games online one for example, and i have links to other sites on my site. And when people click on those other links I get money? Obviously id have to get LOADS of poeple to click on those links to make any sort of money but thats how i get the money, yeh?

Earlier you had said something about starting a golf tutorial website, and I think that is a good idea, but I have some ideas for it. I typed this out earlier, and when I tried to post it wouldnt, so here it is.
I think that it is a good idea but I dont think you can base all of your advice off of a book. What would stop people from going out and buying this book and improving on their own? I believe this would be a hell of alot cheaper than paying a monthly subscription. If you base your whole program off of the book you could also run into problems with copyright infringment. The program to run stats would be difficult because unless you know each course they play on, and how their shots were made, you cannot suggest where to improve their game. If they said errors they commited, and strokes on certain areas then you could assist them, but at that point they could figure out their own problem area. I take golf lessons and pay around $50/hr, which is expensive but I find that it helps alot. One of the main things that helps during my lesson is watching my instructor properly position himself, and go threw the motion slowly focusing on different things that all together make you swing well. Along with this, once I try to swing my instructor watches me and gives me pointers on my faults. If I commit an error too many times and cannot see what I am doing he video tapes me swinging, then plugs the camera into a screen and plays it in slow motion. As I go through my swing he circles and notes my faults on the screen (uses SmartBoard type software). If you could provide something like this, then I think you could be successful. You would need to hire a golf pro, but if you did this you could really make this business work. If you had a pro you could pay to to initally make your training type videos that you could fine under each of the problems, and this could be the basic package. Then for an additional fee you could have packages of swing evaluation, in which your pro would look at x minutes of video for x price, and then suggest tips. By it being all video you could access clients most anywhere, and you would allow your pro flexibility because he can work from wherever he is, and at what time he wants. There would be much more you would need to work out, but from a fellow golfer I think this model would be more desired, and you could charge more than a read along tutorial.

Hi Rick!

What are your interests? And would you rather have a content Website, a blog, a user-powered site?

<ad>
As for hosting, don't go with Homestead. They put ads on your site. I run a service at http://www.freehosting300.com that is free, but puts no ads on your site. And it offers more than Homestead anyway.

For $10/month I think it is, you get your own unique domain name and hosting and everything. They start you out with a free trial for 30 days so you can get your site up, and then you can upgrade whenever you are ready for your unique domain name, so that way you aren't wasting money right away.

And despite what The Stealthy One said, they don't put ads on your site unless its a free account, if you are paying then the only ads on the site will be the ones you put on it and are making money off of.

To make decent money yes you do need a lot of people clicking on the ads, but thats the way it is with everything. The great thing about google adsense is that the ads are relevant to your content so your visitors are more likely to click on them. After only being up for two weeks I'm surprised how well that site has done for me so far, hopefully it will continue to grow and produce more over time.

radreality, usually folks go to Homestead looking for free hosting.
