Making money online is
challenging, but highly rewarding. Advertising revenue is largely passive and
requires little effort to maintain. Singaporeans should create and market
websites that suit their lifestyles in order to create residual
income-generating websites. With ad and affiliate programs like Google Adsense
and Amazon Associates, one does not even need a product to sell to turn a
profit.
· Sign up for web hosting and a domain name.
Having your own host enables you to moderate your website however you like.
Many free web hosts put their own limitations and advertisements on your
website, so it is best to avoid them. Having your own domain name allows you to
create your own internet persona and enables you to resell the website domain
in the future.
· Create your website. With the advent of
Content Management Systems (CMS) the average Internet user can set up a website
in minutes. For example, Wordpress is a free CMS that is famous for its
five-minute installation. Content management systems allow you to build and
moderate websites with flexibility and ease.
· Sign up for advertising and affiliate
programs like Amazon Associates and Google Adsense. These services allow you to
place advertisements and affiliate links on your website, earning you a
commission every time someone clicks an ad or purchases a product.
· Place advertisements and affiliate links in
or beside your website content. For example, a review about a laptop should
have an Amazon affiliate link that leads to that laptop's web page. Google
Adsense ads should be placed close to website content to catch the attention
(and hopefully the interest) of a user, increasing your chances of a click.
· Drive traffic to your website. No traffic
means no revenue. You should get traffic by writing quality content and letting
people know about it through social media sites like Digg and StumbleUpon. In
addition, there are paid traffic sites that direct website visitors your way
for a set fee.
