If you do own your site, it's a good idea to find ways on how to monetize it. This helps with additional earnings, esp. if your website receives regular traffic. Having good quality content on your site is a must. You probably have heard about Niche Marketing. Certain topics are more highly searched than others. Naturally it is more profitable to market in this particular niche. However, competition would also be tougher. I do suggest to find a niche that appeals to your interest too. That way, you won't lose appeal or feel discouraged if you don't make money right away. Building online business takes time and there's no easy button to guarantee success.
