Are you trying to make your first money online, but don't know where to start? There are many ways to start making money, but one of the quickest can be to use a program called a web script. A web script is a program (typically written in PHP), that creates an entire website for you!
Now- many people would have you believe that you just need to install a script, and you'll start making money.
Unfortunately it's not that simple, but by following some simple steps you can greatly increase your chances of making money with web scripts...

Step 1: The first step is to decide on a script. There are all sorts of PHP scripts available, ranging from joke sites, to ebook stores, to membership sites, and more. Basically- if you can think of it- there is probably a script to do it. Research different scripts, and work out
what is right for you. Your decision should be based on what your hobbies are, what your skill level is, whether you want to sell something, or make money from advertising, how much time you can devote, and what your budget is.

Step 2: After you have downloaded your script, the first thing to do is read the documentation that came with it. Then try and install it on your server. If you have any problems contact the developer and get some help. Most developers are quite happy to help you with installing your script, and some may do the installation for you if you
provide them with the login details to your account.

Step 3: Step three is to change the site. If you don't do this, your site may be hit by Googles "Duplicate Content" penalty- because the site is exactly the same as every other customer that has used the script!

There are many ways to change the site... If you want to change the graphics, or the title, keywords, etc, then look for a template file. A lot of (well written) scripts use a template file, and it allows you to alter the entire look of the site, by changing one simple file (That is mostly HTML, and quite easy to understand). Try and modify some of the site content, and add your own content as well. The more you change, the less likely you are to get hit by the google's Duplicate Content filter, and the higher you will rank in the search engines.

Step 4: Now it's time to start getting some traffic to your site. There are literally thousands of ways to do this. At the very minimum, submit your website to some search engines, write some articles and submit them to some article directories, and submit your site to some web
directories. You should research other ways of getting traffic- this is the lifeblood of every internet business.
The most important thing is to track what works. Install an analytics program (I highly recommend google analytics), and see what works and what doesn't. When you find something that works- keep doing it.

As long as you stick with it, you should eventually succeed. And you can't beat the feeling you get the very first time you make money while your sleeping! Good luck!
