What is a ‘Make Money Website’? As the name implies, it’s a website that allows you to earn some extra income or even a full time income once you put in the necessary time and effort. This article will tell you what what you really need to get started.

So, how can you earn a living from a website? It sounds simple enough. Just pick a topic you love and write about it. You don’t have to be an expert in what you choose although it does help you save time if you are also very knowledgeable about it. All you need to arm yourself with is valuable and originally stated information. You don’t even have to have your own product or service although you can if you want to. All you need is time, patience and the desire to learn.

The more passionate you are about the subject you choose, the easier it will be to keep updating your information and to develop a site that offers a unique spin. The larger the site and the better the Search Engine Optimization (SEO), the more it will benefit you in terms of free search engine traffic and revenue.

There are two important points that need to be stressed if you want to establish your own make money website. First of all, you’ll need to invest a lot of time into your project, especially if you don’t have much money to contribute in the beginning. If you do have a little bit of money, you can outsource some of the work. If not, you’ll have to invest time. Secondly, you really do need to be passionate about the theme you choose for your website. If you don’t genuinely like what you’re doing, the odds of you being successful are not very good; because you’ll eventually get burned out.

Also, you need to understand that the online business world is not for everyone. If you’re willing to invest some time in training and learning what it takes, you can be successful online. Set realistic and small goals that you can achieve daily, weekly or monthly.

Every single day millions of people just like you go to Google, MSN and Yahoo to search for information on anything from toilet training their kids to investing in the stock market.

You will pick a topic that people are searching for and provide information about that topic. Simple as that. But unfortunately, it isn’t all that simple. First of all, you need to make sure that your site comes up on the first page of the search engines so that people will actually see it.

You can have the best site in the world but if no one visits it, you won’t get very far. If you achieve a top 5 ranking in the major search engines for popular keyword phrases, then you will have all the traffic you need. You can monetize your site with Adsense Ads, your own products or services or other affiliate products or services and that is a topic for another article.

The Make Money Website is a legitimate way to go if you’re looking for an online income source. The right attitude and training are what makes it possible.

I started to learn website design somewhere around 2003. I was determined to learn how to put up a website if it meant buying every book on website design there was! I really wanted to be an award winning website designer. I kept hearing the word Dreamweaver and had no idea what that meant!

At that time there weren’t a whole lot of online tutorials for building a website and webpages, so I went off the the local Barnes and Noble to find a book on website design. I must have purchased 10 books on website design.

My next decision was to purchase Dreamweaver. Frontpage was available at the time but I thought it would be wise in investing in software that I thought was the best and would be around for a while. I had never created a webpage before and when I first opened up Dreamweaver I almost ended my  not yet begun career of designing and building websites! Everything was so foreign to me, and learning html seemed so difficult. Yet all my research let me to believing that Dreamweaver would be the tool of choice for creating award winning website designs. I should add that I was forced to purchased Xsitepro for a long time web development and maintenance project. I really had no desire to learn how to use Xsitepro or to purchase it. However, once  I invested to the time to learn Xsitepro….. I became very found of the program. In fact, I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to start building websites and developing and maintaining their own websites……yes, I would encourage the purchase of Xsitepro over Dreamweaver for the newbie. However, if you want to learn html and css coding then Dreamweaver would be second to none!

A lot has happened since those early years of website design. I’ve whipped up a lot of websites but haven’t come anywhere near mastering the complete power of Dreamweaver. However, by using Adobe Photoshop to create templates and then importing the pieces into Dreamweaver I think I’ve been able to create some websites that are getting pretty close to being award winning!

Nonetheless, I continue the journey of website design by exploring new techniques and methods of website development. Worpdress has come on the scene in the last couple of years and is rapidly becoming one of the easiest and most flexible methods of developing on online presence. Many top designers are using wordpress to develop award winning website design. I found a great online guide that covers how to edit wordpress theme and how to create Wordpress Themes called How to Be a Rockstar Wordpress Designer….. don’t waste any time, get it if you have an interest creating wordpress themes!

If you do anything with web development then you know that CSS or cascading style sheets is rapidly becoming the standard method of putting pages on the web. Dreamweaver has great css functionality and wordpress is basically a object of css programing or coding. If you plan on doing any wordpess hacking you better know and understand css code!

I’ve been on a journey of Worpress hacking for the last year and have learned the basics of css. I can’t tell you how many css tutorials I’ve started and never completed My goal is to start creating wordpress themes from photoshop files and I just don’t know and understand css well enough to start creating award winning website designs!

Anyway, as I sit here tonight thinking about all the css frustrated website designers I thought I’d offer a few rays of hope!. For the first time in my life I went through a complete css tutorial, start to finish and didn’t skip any steps It wasn’t really a basic css tutorial, but I figured I better start someplace close to the beginning so I could properly understand the basics of building websites or blog themes with css. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was, and I’ve made it a goal to be able to write a css site blindfolded by the end of this year….and hopefully have a better understanding of hacking away at wordpress blogs by that time also.

If you want to brush up on your css or just start learning it so you can began a career of building award winning website design …..then, check out the css tutorial I just finished. Nothing to promote here, just a decent tutorial on using css to create a simple webpage with a navigation tree across the top and in the footer. The author breaks up the tutorial as follows:

1.  Introduction
2. The Design
3. Default HTML Template
4. Setting the canvas
5. The major elements
6. Floats
7. Additional Structure
8. Some basic text styles
9. The Header
10. Footer
11. The Navigation (arg!)
12. Getting it right in IE

Let me give you some encouragement if you’re trying to learn web design. Trust me on this, you can do it! Just don’t quit. Remember that people learn differently. You might come to understand a concept by reading it once. Another person might have to read it 100 times….but they will get it. That same concept might not be understood by the next guy unless they actually do it….for some people they can do it once and understand…..again, others might have to (in this cas) write the basic code of an html page 50 times before they see the pattern. The important idea is, if you don’t quit, you’ll never fail. Your success might come in degrees rather than in one moment!

Good Luck….let me know if you give it a shot! Since I’m somewhat of a book hound so I picked a few of my favorite CSS Books that you might find helpful.
