1. Build a website on a niche subject that you know about and are interested in and write original content for it. You can make money by placing Google advertising on the web pages that you produce. When someone clicks on one of the Google adverts on your web page you make a small amount which is usually a few pence, although it can be up to a pound a click depending on what your subject matter is. Of course if you get a good stream of visitors to your site, then this may add up to a worthwhile income stream. The Google advertising program is called Google Adsense and you can find out more about how it works and join the program for free by visiting http://www.google.com/services

Make sure that you place the Google Adsense adverts in prominent areas of your web pages as this will greatly increase the number of visitors clicking on your Google adverts.

2. You can also make money off your website from affiliate programs. An affiliate program is where a company will pay you a commission for a sale or a lead generated from your website. For best results it is best to put links to affiliates that sell products and services that are related to your site
