How to build your website to earn money online
To make money online you will need websites. There’s no other way to cut out the middle man. This article will show you how to build a website for yourself, even if you have no training in website development.
The key is to use a platform that is user-friendly, but powerful enough to allow you to build a fully-functional, professional looking website. For our money, you can’t go past WordPress for that.
Wordpress is an open-source platform. That means developers help to improve it without charging for it. It’s a lot like a public park, everyone can use it for free thanks to those who donated it.

You can always log into the WordPress admin panel by typing yourdomainname.info/wp-admin
When you start your username is always admin. To change your password to something you can remember go to users>your profile in the dashboard. From there you can install themes, add new posts and pages and everything else that goes into a website.
If you want to get started making money online straight away, you can register with Google adsense to put ads on your site. All you need is a website with original content.
Take the code from your new Google adsense ad and paste it into your post. You can use widgets to arrange the content more attractively on the page. From here you can do three things to get more visitors so you are making more money online:
