How to create a website to make money.

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Creating a website to make money boils down to 3 essential tasks:

First, decide on a domain name. Sound easy? Not! Your domain name is your brand, it is what you are selling, it is your niche. To choose a domain name you must first research what you are going to sell. If you choose well, writing blogs, gaining popular interest and building traffic becomes a little easier. If you choose poorly, your "niche" may be too broad or too competitive.

Do your keyword search at the very start with a number of choices. Start with broad, global categories then break the categories down into subcategories and then break the subcategories down further into specialized niche products, services or interest. Search keywords related to the niche and narrow the search to a few high demand, low competition items. Then choose your niche. It may be something you are passionate about or maybe something that you just discovered through your research.

Register your domain name either free, as a SiteRubix subdomain or buy your own website (as a Premium member), on the WA platform.

Use WordPress, or other web theme source, to choose a theme and design your homepage.
