These days, the possibilities to earn money online are almost endless. Some of the ways to start an online business are really easy, so you don't even need to have any experience to start something on your own!
Ads. If you have your own website, you can place advertisements to start earning passive income. Google Adsense is often used for that since it's so simple to use yet works efficiently.
Sponsored content. With increasing traffic, you will start to gain publicity from companies as well. It is most likely you will start getting offers to write or share sponsored content. Of course, you can also outreach other brands yourself, since sponsored content is useful in increasing your earnings.
Starting a store. You can also start a dropshipping store or even create and sell your own products. Having an e-store allows your customers to shop anytime and anywhere. Also, your brand will gain more exposure.
These are only the most popular ways of earning money through a website, but you are free to try out any ideas you come up with.
Of course, you should first create a website. Let me show you why anyone can do it. All you need is a web host, a domain name, and a platform of your choice to build a site. Here are the features you should look for when finding a hosting provider:
Uptime. Your website's uptime is of utmost importance since having a website offline means losing visitors. Try looking for a web host provider who offers 99.9% uptime guarantee for the best website performance.
Performance. Speed is a crucial part of a successful website. A slow-loading site has a much higher probability of losing visitors. While choosing a hosting provider, research what they offer to improve your website's performance. For example, a hosting provider can be optimized for WordPress, offer plugins such as LiteSpeed Cache plugin, or use more durable solid-state drivers (SSD) rather than hard-disk drives (HDD) to increase performance.
Customer support. Having someone to rely on is necessary to feel comfortable with your project. Instead of trying to figure everything out yourself, 24/7 customer support is an excellent service to save time.
For a domain name, you have to remember that it will be your website's address. Therefore, make it short and memorable. It can include your brand name, a word related to the niche you will cover, or something else creative you come up with!
You will also need to decide how you will create a website. There are a few possible choices. You can either use a content management system (CMS), build it yourself, or use a website builder.
If you aren't experienced in coding and wish to create a website quickly, I recommend using CMS such as WordPress. This choice is great because it's friendly to beginners. All you have to do is choose a template to edit and add your content to it. Naturally, you will have to get accustomed to the CMS at first. However, it doesn't take much time to learn.
Now that you have all the information about creating your website and how to earn money through it, there are still a few things I'd like to mention.
Niche.
Since consistency is vital when starting a website, you have to choose the niche carefully, as it's something you will want to stick with for a long time. The topics should interest you, so you don't get bored of writing about it.
Marketing.
Receiving traffic requires work, and marketing mustn't be forgotten, as it's going to be your main tool for that. It helps you attract visitors and engage with your audience. Create social media accounts, expand your network, and perhaps start running some ads. Make sure they are targeted towards people you wish to target.
That is all you have to know to start a business online. I wish you good luck in your online journey!

If you’ve ever stayed in a hotel, you might have been tempted to get the most for your money and take some “souvenirs.” You’re not alone. Still, that doesn’t mean we’re allowed to take everything that’s not nailed down. So, what are the things you can and can’t take from hotels?
Most branded items are up for grabs
Believe it or not, but many branded items at hotels are up for grabs. That doesn’t mean everything with a logo is yours for the taking. Instead, this is reserved for things such as shampoo, pens, coffee filters, laundry bags, or other small items that are usually replaced in between each guest. In fact, many hotels encourage people to take these things home to reduce waste and give someone a memento of their stay. Plus, they can quickly become free advertising for the hotel and replaced for a small fee in between rooms being used.
Soft goods are off limits at most hotels
If you find yourself looking at the soft goods in your hotel room, it’s time to think again. Hotels often encourage people to leave the robes, sheets, and towels behind as they’re expensive things to replace. Sure, one missing towel here and there isn’t going to break the hotel’s bank, but if every guest decides to take one, it quickly adds up. In fact, some estimate that people stealing soft goods from hotel rooms could cost the industry up to $100 million a year. Instead, it’s best to leave these things be.
Some hotels have tracking devices
It turns out that some hotels have had enough of people stealing their things that they have tracking devices that alert sensors if they make their way outside the building. They often work by allowing things to be monitored and checked in and out. Others don’t have trackers but do have manual inventories which need to be updated. If you take something that’s flagged up as missing, you could find yourself with an extra charge by the time you get home.

Stealing certain items could see you on a no-stay list
Of course, there’s a good chance that a hotel isn’t going to press charges if someone tries to take something they shouldn’t. Still, more and more are beginning to charge guests for taking things they should leave behind. To top it off, many have no-stay lists filled with names of people who have stolen in the past. This is usually reserved for people who take significant things, such as duvets or coat hangers. As if that wasn’t enough, several hotel chains have teamed up together and shared their no-stay lists, so getting banned from one hotel could see you refused entry to a host across the nation and world.
It turns out that doing a Ross from ‘Friends’ and taking everything in your hotel room isn’t the best idea. However, he might have been onto something, as there are certain things we can often take home. Still, there are things we should also leave behind.
