subject: Earning Money At Home Creating Websites [print this page] For the longest time it was believed that to create a website you had to be some sort of genius, with a P.H.D in Information Technology. In days gone by this may well have been the case, but today with the availability of free tools and resources, almost anybody is capable of earning money at home building websites.
So what do you need to make a website anyway? Well lets start with what you dont need. You really dont need any technical knowledge as such, you dont need to know HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language,) you dont need to be a graphic designer. Now if you do possess any of these skills then great, but there really not necessary.
What you will need though is firstly, a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor like Microsoft Expression Web or Dreamweaver, or you can find a ton of free website editors online. Personally I find the first two a little complicated and prefer free online software like Komposer or My Free Website Builder.
Now youve got a website builder what next? This is where it gets interesting because, what you do now is search for a pre-designed website template. Yes you heard right. You can search online for pre-made website templates of all shapes, colours, and styles, many of which are free. Here are two places I visit regularly, OSWD and Template Monster. Here you will find some fantastic variety and quality.
Alright so now we have our website editor and a template. How will we start earning money from this? Well before I reveal how you make money at home, let me give you a quick run through on building your website. Open up your website creator, import your template, your first step is to save the template as an index page. Next decide how many pages your website needs, and simply duplicate the index page as many times as required. Each time you duplicate the page save it under a different name like products, services, about us, contact, etc.
Then, simply edit the template to your liking enter text, photos, audio, videos and viola! youve created your first website congratulations. Now you can start earning incredible money from your home doing this, on a daily basis or part time. How much can you earn? Well anything from $300-$3000 dollars per website, so who will pay you this money and why?
Your neighbourhood's local businesses thats who, according to the latest market research nearly 55% of local businesses, the mom and pop stores still dont have a website. The market potential is enormous and the best part is, they are hungry for this type of service. If you start low and build up slowly you could have a very profitable business.
So to sum up, I showed you about free resources and tools you can use, a brief tutorial on how to create your website. Where to find the free tools, and who your target market should be for earning money at home, I hope you found this article helpful.
