    Hi Julia,

    The answer is most definitely Yes!

    Here is a brief overview – My advice is to follow these steps (in this order);

    1. Find a subject that you feel really interested in, your ‘Niche’ which will become the main subject of your website.

    2. Decide to become a real expert in your chosen subject, gather all the information you can and really work to understand it all.

    3. Carry out searches in the most popular search engines to see who your competition are in this specific area, visit all the websites in the top 10 results to see what content they are offering and what their website looks like and how they are laid out – this will give you lots of ideas for your own website. As you are going though all these websites remember to take notes and save all the website addresses with your notes so you can refer back to them later and monitor them.

    4. Check to see if there are adverts around the search engine results, this will give you some idea of the money being spent to your niche, if people are spending money advertising then normally other people are buying.

    5. Look for existing products that relate to your niche that you can sell for a percentage of the sales price (Affiliate Programs) start with Clickbank where there’s lots of good advice about how to make money online.

    6. You will find free ‘keyword research tools’ online where you can put in your main niche description and you will see all the words and phrases that people are searching for and how many times, this will give you lots of ideas for things to include in your website.

    7. Find a domain name (shouldn’t cost more that $ 10) that included the words that describe your niche. If you choose to use a free website service then point your domain to it, or, you can setup your own server for around $ 50 per year.

    8. Start to create content that is written with the objective of answering your visitor’s questions and giving them solutions to their problems – people search the internet mainly to learn something or find an answer to a problem, your websites success will depend on how well you satisfy these requirements.

    9. You will then mix your content (text and images) with information of a suitable product, or products, that you found earlier

    10. You then start to promote your website in places that relate to your niche such as in forums, commenting on blogs, facebook, twitter (create accounts using your niche keywords) and you can even use ‘Pay Per Click’ advertising if you have some money available.

    Good luck!
    Carl
