How to Set Up a Website to Earn Cash

1. Set up your website as a blog or other informational site. Write about a topic that interests you or in which you have experience. This makes it easier to update the page and keep your motivation high. Update regularly to keep interest high and use a forum to allow comments. The more interested your readers are, the more likely they are to bookmark the page and come back for more.

2. Use Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to get your site at or near the top of search results. Using commonly searched keywords in your blog or articles will help search engines identify your content and its relevance. Don't force terms where they don't fit. Doing this can actually reduce the ranking of your site if search engines like Google catch on. Hire an SEO expert for quick optimization, but research them thoroughly to prevent damage to your site's ranking.

3. Sign up for Google AdSense or become an affiliate with a well-known Internet store, such as Amazon. AdSense will earn you cash every time a visitor clicks the ads on your site. Google makes money with each click and a percentage of that revenue is paid to you. Online marketplaces like Amazon.com will advertise products on your site and you earn a commission for each product that sells. If you sell over a certain amount each month, the pay percentage will increase.
