A Do It Yourself Guide to Making Money Off The Internet
DIY Web Income
When my wife and I decided to leave the rat race, we needed to find multiple streams of income to support ourselves in a place where we wanted to live. Having left the city and moved to a small mountain town, job prospects were limited. Not knowing anything about the internet except typical web surfing knowledge, we began an educational exploration on how we might make money using the internet as a tool.
We started a bed and breakfast inn for our main source of income and quickly learned that most bookings came from our inn web site which we built ourselves. Learning how to make our site search engine friendly also increased traffic to our web site which resulted in more guest reservations.
I started selling products over the internet creating another stream of income. My wife is a retired school teacher and we developed a tutoring site to create clients. We have created informational sites that benefit from Google Adsense ad income.
Our process of creating multible streams of income is a journey that may never have a final destination. We hope that when we decide to move on from innkeeping the other product and information web sites we have created will generate a steady income.
Most of the information on this site we have shared with various inn guests seeking to build an income outside of their current career that will have long-term benefits. One of the greatest things we have shared is that you do not need to be a computer person to build a web site. With today's easy to use templates one must only type in their content and drop in photographs. Web site hosting is also very affordable.
