Get Paid to Build Websites

By Rentario Morganhouser

Almost anybody who has had any type of life experience can learn how to build a website that makes a lot of money. If you are normal human you are surely an expert in something. You may not even realize how many things you are an expert in.

The reality is most human beings do not see how many things they are good at. Few people in the world have nothing to offer in terms of knowledge.

The rumor is that to make money with a website you have to be a computer nerd or braniac. All you have to do is be able to point and click due to the recent emergence of site builders.

The first step to making your own website is choosing what website builder you want to use to make the site. There is a wealth of them on the internet.

Some site builders are totally free while others cost thousands of dollars. So What do you do with all these options?

I have built five websites and each one was constructed with a different program. I will say that the most expensive one was by far the best and well worth the money.

You will want to be especially careful when coming across the free version. It is so much harder to build income with those since they provide you with few marketing tools.

After you have got comfortable with using their free version of the software they try to get you to upgrade. As you probably already know it always cost money to upgrade.

Even after upgrading these services barely get better. In short do not use any of the free versions or upgrade a free version.

I think most beginners should go with a all in one business website builder. They are hard to find, but they give you the most for your money.

The builders that you do find on the internet that are all in one packages are the ones you need to invest in. They can really help you earn money.

The first step is building a website is setting up a site map or blueprint. Then start writing organized content guided by the site map.

Content writing is not something I want to get into detail about in this article. I will say that you need to know what you are talking about to write sufficient content.

In four weeks you should have completed about 105 content pages. You will need to write content before trying to attract search engine traffic.

After you have constructed enough pages you can start attempting to build some streams of traffic.

Perhaps the hardest part of the entire process is the traffic building step.

There is many different types of traffic. There is search engine traffic, type in traffic, return visitors, and traffic from external sources.

It is crucial to know which form of traffic makes the most money. Each form of traffic is different in terms of making you money.

Then once you know what type of traffic is the best you target that traffic. That gives you the best potential of making money.

I have tested this out extensively and can tell you that search engine traffic is the best. It is free and laser targeted.

Now when you make money it is all profit. You are not having to pay for traffic.

The only way to generate search visitors is through inbound links. You have to manually build links to your website.

The text that is used in the link itself is called the anchor text. This is the most crucial part of the link building process.

That is search traffic in its simplest terms. I do not think it is appropriate to go over this anymore in this article.

The last piece of the process is earning money off that traffic. This will be the least challenging part believe it or not.

After you build your website you can use several methods to earn residual income. My top recommendation for content sites is Google Adsense.

Google will give you a javascript code to place on your web pages where you want the ads to display. When a visitor clicks on those ads you earn a commission.

This is such a good way or making money because all income is residual. You will make money off these pages as long as they are live on the internet.

Once you make enough money with this method of building websites that generate traffic you can essentially retire. With a little maintenance you can keep that traffic coming in and continue earning money for the rest of your life.
