To set up your earning income through the internet:

Get your idea!  What do you know?  What is of interest to you?  Well then...

First, you choose a domain name.  This is the part of the website name that fits after the "www." and before the ".com" part.  For example, for a website domain name of "your domain name here", the domain name you purchase would be http://www.yourdomainnamehere.com.   You will type in names until you find one that is not taken.  This gives you a website address.  We recommend Yahoo! for domain name registration.  They run special discounts periodically (as low as $2.99 per year!), but generally domain name with Yahoo! cost about $10 per year.

Then, you need webhosting.  This can vary from the entirely free to the extremely expensive.  As with most things in life, you often get what you pay for.  Free website hosting usually comes with popup ads and bothersome other problems such as down time, so avoid these.  So how much should you spend?  To start off, get a webhost company that is no more than a fee of about $10-$15 per month.  You will want something called "ftp access" from the company (this is just the way to   post your information to your website, "file transfer protocol").  One comany that allows you to pay $15 one time, with NO monthly fee, is www.hostingfree4life.com.  This company does no advertising, and you still get email from your website (for example, you will want an "administrator" or "webmaster" to your website to receive emails if someone has a question for you, and you can set this up as admin@yorudomainnamehere.com. 

Finally, you need a software program.  There are many out there, and for the average computer user familiar with typing documents on a computer, choose a WYSIWYG program ("What You See Is What You Get).  This makes it extremely easy for any beginner (and any advanced user too) to create a website that will do well in the search engines.  Dreamweaver and FrontPage are two very common programs, but can be very pricey (unless you are a student, and then you might be eligible for student pricing).  We recommend a program called XSitePro.  This software is WYSIWYG too, but helps you fill out the hidden code information that the search engine "spiders" look for when they crawl a website and determine how it will appear in the search engines such as google.  It also gives you the ability to change your entire website look AFTER typing in all your content, with ONE quick change.  Other programs require you to change EACH page you have already typed when making global changes- very time consuming!  XSitePro can be purchased and downloaded online 24 hours a day, so you can get started instantly!

Okay, so you have an idea, a website, webhosting, and the computer program.  Now what?  Now, "surf" the internet to see how standard websites are set up.  Get a feel for the colors you want to use on your website.  Design it, and type your content.

Fresh content is the way to generate great income!  You need to type your content originally as yours.  Many programs and schemes out there encourage outright plagiarism by copying the work of others, and computerized search engines are smart enough to recognize when content is just copied- it will only hurt your website!  Be original and you will see the money grow!

To grow your website, consider adding a forum for people to help each other online, and submit your site to directories online that are focused on your area.  You will earn money online with the internet and be contributing genuine works by you!
