How could I earn money from creating a website?
You could add Google adwords which would give you a few pennies each time someone clicks through them – you might earn from a few pounds to several hundred per month. Of course, your own site needs to be highly ranked in Google to get any appreciable traffic and therefore enough click-throughs to make it worthwhile. Then, you can sell goods through an affiliate scheme, which is where people see the product on your site, click a ‘buy’ button and they’re then transferred to the affiliate supplier site to make the purchase – you get a percentage of the sale amount, say 5-10%. It’s only worth trying to sell things that are directly relevant to your site, though.
