1. Selling products and services

Most obvious way to make money with website is to sell products and services. The competition is fierce out there. You stand much better chance to succeed selling products on line if you are established business with reliable suppliers.

If they do, you should figure out how your product is going to be different from others. For example you can offer better quality information or cover a different topic or make it in easier to learn format.
