Different Types Of Websites That You Can Set Up To Make Money Online!

Just as the title says. This post is mostly for beginners, who are just getting sarted online. Here you’ll find a small list that shows you different types of websites that people use to make money online…



Forum – A place where people go to discuss particular topics with each other. Good forums usually keep growing on their own. People refer friends, traffic increases, and you make more money

Blog – A blog is a site like this one. Nowadays wordpress makes it easy to set up a blog and make money online.

Opt-in page - Usually offers a free gift to capture leads, and monetize them later on. We’re talking about a page like this one -> http://imheadlines.org

Sales Page – Usually a single page website used to sell a product. They usually give the visitor 2 choices. Either they buy the product, or close the website.

Social Network – Like facebook, myspace etc… Just like forums, these sites can keep growing on their own.

Video sharing websites – Sites that allow people to share their own videos, like youtube

Article directory – A site that allows people to post articles. A very well-known article directory is ezinearticles

Social bookmarking site – A site that gives people the ability to bookmark urls and share them with the world!

Website Directories – They allow webmasters to list their websites for backlinks and/or for traffic purposes. Some directories offer free listing, reciprocal listing, and paid listing. Each of these 3 will have different benefits

Search engine – A website that people use to seach for other websites. Examples of this are google, msn and yahoo.

TGP – Stands for thumbnail gallery pics. This is a site with plenty of adult pictures. Once clicked, the picture will lead to the affiliate site where the users can watch a sample video and/or look at some pictures, then hopefully, they will buy a membership.



If you ask me to choose a site from these, I would choose a blog, and the reason is simple. Blogs are easy to get traffic to, and easy to monetize aswell. Today we have wordpress, which makes it super simple to set up a good looking blog. And more importantly, it would seem that google prefers wordpress blogs over static html websites
