How much you can earn from placing articles and affiliate links on your website is different from person to person. How much you are able to earn will depend mostly on how successful your website is. This means attaining good search engine rankings through SEO efforts, making your website enjoyable and informative to read by posting engaging content, building your website around a great niche subject, how big your website is and how many websites you have.

It is a good idea to start in the online marketing business by building weblogs, or blogs, as these are a lot quicker to build, easy to maintain and far easier to drive traffic to. If you use Blogger your blog will also be hosted for you, saving you money on hosting fees.

Some people claim to make as much as $10,000 per month ($120,000 per year) through building and promoting niche websites or blogs, however most people should not expect this kind of success, as that kind of success usually only comes with experience and acquired skill.

A reasonable income to expect from a niche website, after you have worked for months to gain traffic, and are hooked up with good affiliates, may be $500-$1,000 per month. However this is recurring income, so you will make that much monthly from the efforts you put into that one website.

When they have a successful website, most people choose to continue to build more niche websites. The more that you build, the better an income you can generate. Some people also choose to build websites very fast and small, rather than websites that are slightly larger. It should be noted that the larger each of your websites are, the more income you will likely generate from them.

When starting out, it is important to remember that your first website will always be your hardest, since you are just learning the ropes of the business, and that not everyone is cut out to market and promote niche websites. It may not work out for you and you may end up losing a little bit of money, but that is a risk that everyone in this business has to take.

The important thing is that you don't give up without a good shot at it, if this is really what you want to do. Your first website may take a long time, the work may be tedious, and you may feel like throwing in the towel. However, if you give up too early you will never know what could have been. And who knows, you may be the next great website marketer or "guru".
