Basics of Making Money Online (Part 2)

This is the 2nd series on the basics of making money online.

In this entry, I will show you how to create a website with "content" and advertisements in less than 10 minutes! I will like to call this a 10 minute website creation. Of course, not much traffic might be directed to it but it is better than not doing anything.

Within Two Minutes:
First, get a domain name. In this example, I am using a free domain from blogger. Search for a domain name for the blog or website that is most related to the content that you are going to display. For this, I am going to choose a name that relates to bangkok news.

Keep trying various combinations of names till you get one that you have deemed suitable. The one that I managed to get is bangkokpostnews.blogspot.com

Within 7 minutes

Google for bangkok news or bangkok post. Get into the website and find the rss feeds. This will send feeds (news updates) to your website. In this case, to my bangkokpostnews.blogspot.com
What I do is just create feeds from the gadgets options in blogger and add the feeds all over my website.

Within 10 minutes

Place Google Adsense Ads all over your website.

There you have it! A 10 minute website that is up and running with no need for any money to host and with no need for any content to be written by you. Of course, it might not prove to be a very useful site but it is still a website with news that might be relevant to some readers who in this case might be interested news that is happening in thailand.

All you need to do now is to direct traffic to your blog. You can do this either through posting links to this newly created website on forums, telling your friends the url or creating links from your other websites to it.

There you have it! A simple 10 minute website created by you and that is ready to earn and make money for you online without any money involved. All you were required to do is have 10 minutes of internet connection with a blogger account and a google adsense account. Both of which only require some details from you and there you have it! Your first money making online website that is totally free of charge.

Here are other examples of 10 minute news websites that have been created. The traffic generated to these websites have not been phenomenal. Since two weeks of running it, they have only generated around 11 visits between them.

This has RSS feeds:

Malaysia News

This is a website without any content at all. Just only with advertisements. Would you visit such a website? Of course, how much effort you put into a website will determine how much traffic is driven to your website.

11 visits in 2 weeks for a 20 minute effort is not bad considering that these 2 sites will be up for months or even years. In 54 weeks (1 year), I can expect close to 300 visits. Imagine if just 1 percent click on any of those ads, I will be earning like close to 10 or 20 cents from Adsense per year just for a 20 minute effort. Multiply this by many more websites and the opportunities of making money online are almost unlimited!
