Make Money from your Hobby

Well, making websites have been a hobby for me for more than two years. It feels so nice when you see people from almost the other side of the globe clicking away on your website. Really gives the impression that the world is indeed getting small.

And it is even more a happier proposition if your hobby can get you money! yes; not little, but as high as $240 per day (atleast I was only able to make this much.There are people who can make as high as $700 per day).

How do you go about it? Ok, lets say your hobby is writing. And probably you are here on blogger because, you want to write. Now, let me tell you how you make money with this on a website.

First, go deeper and deeper into the world of writing to find what interests you most. Probably say, you enjoy writing stuffs that kids like. This looks like a nice niche,right? Google related keywords to see the kind of sites related to kids writing.

Now, you decide to make a site where you will publish stories for kids. Now, if you were to go and tell a kid to give you his written work, how would you do it? Visualize and write a few lines. Now, this is going to be the homepage content. Before you launch the site, get a few stories from children you know or from local school or elsewhere on the net and publish them.

You get paid by google, each time somebody clicks on your ads.You think, why would someone click on the ads, I dont do it anyway? But believe me, Having made a lot of websites, one click per thousand makes a lot of difference. Just start with your adsense program and you will understand.
