If you’ve been asking yourself the question:
How can I make money online from what I love?
I’m here to offer you an idea of one way you can accomplish this dream.
It will involve a 4 step process:
- Choose an interest (what you love)
- Build a website
- Attract visitors
- Earn revenue
Now let’s look at the 4 steps in more detail.
Choose An Interest
The original question was: How can I make money online from what I love. Well, this is the starting point. You already know what you love. Perhaps there are a few things you are really passionate about. Choose the one you are most passionate about and know the most about.
This will be your “niche”.
Whatever you would be happy doing for the rest of your life, do that. If you are working with what you love you will always enjoy what you are doing.
Build a Website
This is a lot easier than it sounds to some. These days it’s quite simple for people even with no tech skills to put together an awesome looking website in quick time. This is certainly true if you are shown how in a step-by-step process.
You see, to make money online from what you love, you will need a platform to spread the word. Of course you can use social media, and you will, but having your very own website gives you credibility and a stable foundation from which to launch your online business.
You will fill your website with content relevant to your passion, content that others who share your interest will enjoy reading.
Trust me on this point: You don’t have to be a great writer to do this. Everything is better written in a conversational tone, anyway. All you have to do to write content is write it as if you were talking about the subject with a friend over a coffee.
In time you will monetise this content with things such as affiliate links, perhaps AdSense ads and other methods. But let’s not get caught up in those details just yet.
Attract Visitors
Your website will be of little use and won’t make you money from what you love if it never gets any visitors (traffic). This takes a bit of time to develop, but if you are shown how to attract visitors to your site and follow the training, then your site traffic will grow and continue to grow as you add more content.
Attracting website traffic can be achieved in a whole variety of ways and not many of them are very technical. Anyone can do it with a little bit of patience and learning.
Earn Revenue
So, you have decided on a niche (your passion), have established a nice looking website and have been filling it with content. During the process you have monetised your content in various ways, and you have adopted the right tactics to build your site traffic.
Guess what happens at this point?
You start to make money from something you love!
That’s pretty awesome, hey?
It might start off as a small amount, but over time your income will continue to grow month after month until eventually you could be earning a fulltime income and then some from your website.
How’s that sound?
Some online marketers earn big money from this, so it’s definitely possible to go way beyond the wage level and start heading along the path to true online wealth and lifestyle freedom.
Now onto the opportunity.

Hello,
thank you for sharing in-depth article about making money online from what we love. I agree with you, by creating a website about your interest, writing content will not be hard because you write about what you love. And being able to make a living from what you love is the ultimate goal.
Hi Karlo, Thanks for leaving your comments. It is a dream come true to be able to make a living from something you love and are passionate about. I believe it should be the goal of everybody at some point in their lives. All success to you!
Great post! I appreciate the way you walked through all four steps in a way that is easy to understand. When I started building my first website, I was surprised at how easy it was to create. Like you mentioned, people shouldn’t be afraid of building a website because it’s easier than it sounds.
I think the hardest part about making money online with your own website is attracting visitors. This takes a lot of research and strategy.
How long have you been in internet marketing?
Thank you for sharing this helpful information!

Hi Weston. Thanks for stopping by. Traffic is definitely the biggest challenge when it comes to anything online. Getting enough people seeing your website or product and the money will follow. I’ve been making money online in one form or another since 2004, but I got into affiliate marketing back in 2015 officially, but much research into it during 2014.
Best of luck and I wish you mega success!
