So, being a student. And not a particularly well-off one, I’m always looking for ways of making money. I give grinds (tutoring). And that is pretty much the only source of regular income I have during term-time. The rest of the time, I’m living off my savings from my summer job.
My new plan, since I was encouraged to take over the running of the website for the family business www.saildingle.com back in February is to try and focus on making money from th’internet.
I have an idea for a website, that could be somewhat popular. With people of a certain age group. It’s actually pretty specific. But, it’s an idea, and one I’m working on at the moment.
Websites are great, and all, but unless you have a plan for earning money from them, they won’t do your bank balance any good. Advertising seems to be the easiest way of earning money from a website.
So, I have been reading around, looking at different people’s blogs and websites, trying to figure out the best way of monetising my website. Therefore, I’m going to stick a few ads in a few different places on this blog, and see how they turn out. Google Adsense is what I’m going to use for the time being.
I’m not expecting to become a millionaire overnight. But, at least I will have some idea as to how ads work, and how much money I could expect to earn from this whole interweb malarkey.
I’ll let you know how I get on.
Or, why don’t you let me know what you think?
