Ways To Choose a Website To Earn on Internet.

By HeimCL

There are many methods available to make easy money on the internet. The owning and developing of a good quality "how to website" which gives good value to the visitor, both in information and products, must be very high on the list for anyone wanting to earn on the internet.

As you may know. There are many options available to you for having your own website. In this article we will take a closer look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of the various options.

Design and build your own website.

This is not a easy task for someone who has little or no experience in this area. However, there are a lot of free website making software programs available that you can use to build your own website.

You can hire someone to create the website for you. But this could be a very expensive exercise.

The Third and easiest option is to take advantage of the many mass produced, free, paid or subscription based websites available. Let's take a closer look at these options

1. Free Websites

There are literally thousands of Free websites for you to choose from. Do a search for "free website", and you will see what I mean. Which is exactly the main disadvantage. You will need to compete with all of them to try and scratch out a living.

Now you may well ask. Why are they free?. Well, you usually become a subscriber on the list of the website creator (very often this is a condition). Then you receive tons of sales emails about products and services promising some or other "secret" to overnight riches. Say no more.

2. Paid Websites

Paid Websites, are usually of a better quality and of a higher standard then the free sites.

Most of them are one-page sites, that do offer some value to the visitor. But have the similar disadvantage. There are just so many of them. In most cases, they also offer the opportunity to earn commission on the selling of these sites to other investors like you.

Now let's consider this for a moment. You have to compete with all the other identical sites out there to attract traffic to your site. In most cases it would have to be paid traffic. Then you manage to sell some of these websites. More competition! It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the true winner in this deal is website creator.

3. Subscription Based Website

Most of the subscription based website's offer additional multi-steam income. The downside is that you will have to be a paid subscriber to all the steams is order to benefit. This can be very costly monthly investment, and it could take months before you show any return on your investment.

The main downside of this type of website, is that in most cases. It is a one-page site with a number links pointing to the products or services that you and all the many other subscribers are trying to market. Additionally, in many cases there is no or very little real informative value to the visitor, other than the products being marketed.

Don't get me wrong. I am not implying that all Paid or Subscription sites are worthless. Not by a long shot. There are some that are very good value for money. But for your own protection. I am saying that you need to investigate as many as possible to find the best deal for you. Here are some of the most important questions you need answered:

a. Are subscriptions limited? If so, great. you have less competition.

b. Are you able to change and modify all the aspects of the site? If so, Brilliant. This means that you will be able to ensure that your site is not penalized for duplicate content.

c. And last but not least. Will you be able to add or remove products at will? If so. You can then take advantage of the best products available on the market. Which in turn could lead to a greater return on investment.

I have only covered some of the most important points that you need to bear in mind while deciding on which type of website you want to own. I sincerely hope that I was able to leave you better informed going forward. Choose wisely my friend. So that you will be in a better position to earn on the internet.
