How much money?
Let's see. A small simple site can begin earning money for you very quickly.
As a rule of thumb, if you've created a site in an area in which there are advertisers you can start earning five to ten dollars a day per site. Now $10 a day isn't much. But what if you had ten sites all earning $10 day?
That's $100 a day, which is $36,500 a year, just from ten simple sites. What if you had 20 such sites, all earning you $10 a day - or even more - in fact, some sites will earn you $100 a day?"
I have many, many sites. Although some of these sites are writing-related, most are not. I make much more income from my sites in other areas -- arthritis, photography, technology...
You can create a site about any topic you know well. Visit a magazine stand or bookstore for topics, or just write about what you love. If you love fashion, for example, that's a HOT topic on which to create several sites. I'll eventually create a site about designer handbags, because I have a bad Coach habit... :-)
Creating websites is easy, because so many of the tools you need are free, and if you can write an email message, you can create a site.
Don't believe me? Posterous will turn your email messages into a website. I wrote about my own Posterous site recently.
Look around you. What could YOU create a website about, which earns daily income for you?
