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.
