Launching a website may be a great way to earn money, and the 10 ideas below can help.

Finding a profitable niche for your website is essential.

The ideal spot to go if you have no idea what kind of website to create is right here. We've compiled 10 distinct concepts for new websites, each of which may be launched immediately.

In addition to expanding one's knowledge base, creating and releasing a side project may provide one with a reliable source of income. There are a wide variety of ways to make money on the web, from creating a membership site to selling products online to running a cuisine blog.

Which kinds of web pages consistently get the most clicks?

Usefulness and/or education are two of the most important criteria when considering website concepts. These sites need to be up and running rapidly so that they may begin meeting client needs as soon as possible.

Websites that serve a utilitarian purpose are ones that can be used by others to accomplish a certain task. Building a website that acts as a job board, for instance, may benefit both job searchers and companies looking to fill open positions.

Websites with an informative tone aim to inform and motivate their visitors. Making a website dedicated to teaching people about a certain topic, for instance, may benefit everyone.

All of the following cases may be classified as either useful or informative.

Let's dive in.

10 of the most promising topics for new websites this year

To help you see the possibilities, we've compiled 10 examples of website layouts.

1. Job sites
We've all spent a considerable amount of time browsing online job boards. Many seem to be an "infinite scroll" with no apparent structure. It may be time-consuming and tedious to go through the many job postings to find anything that fits your qualifications.

Quality job boards will always be in demand. Building your own employment website is an excellent side hustle for those who are technically savvy and want to supplement their income.

The quality of their leads and the ease of use of Content Writing Jobs' site make it an excellent case in point. It provides a straightforward interface without the clutter and complexity of competing job sites.

The aforementioned image of a drop-down filter for job categories makes the search process much easier. The dropdown provides a convenient method for visitors to narrow their search for suitable employment opportunities to fields such as technology, user experience design, search engine optimization, and the arts and entertainment industries.

There is a monthly paid newsletter available at Content Writing Jobs that alerts subscribers to new job openings before they are publicly advertised. Posting a job ad on the site costs money. By imposing such costs, the site may generate income without resorting to advertising.

2. Affiliate websites
Affiliate websites function like virtual shops, stocking the web with goods and information relevant to a certain field. See them as online shops that focus on satisfying the needs of a niche market.

Raymmar's Reads is a fantastic illustration of an affiliate site; it serves as an online book club in which Raymmar recommends and discusses novels he has enjoyed, and it also has affiliate connections to Amazon. Raymmar takes a basic website and makes it stand out with 3D animations and smooth color-shifting backdrop transitions.

3. Membership-based websites
Membership sites are a great way to monetize your existing content as a blogger, a creator of tutorials, or the creator of an online course. Memberships to different websites might give you access to special content that isn't available to everyone.

Almost all of them provide a free first tier in the hopes of luring potential customers to pay for a more extensive membership. When you sign up as a paying member, you can use features like in-depth guides, video lessons, articles, chat boards with professionals, and more.

An excellent illustration of a membership site is Jennifer Louden's The Oasis. In exchange for a recurring membership fee, subscribers get access to a variety of educational and motivational materials, such as audio and video recordings, articles, monthly calls, and more.

Making a membership site is a great way to make money from your content and get people to come back to your site again and again.

4. Online learning websites
There are several options for hosting online education programs. These, however, are not free. Instead of paying someone else to accomplish something you can do yourself using a website builder like Webflow, why not just get started?

This comprehensive guide to playing the handpan metal drum has everything a beginner needs to get started. There is a music theory course available for free, as well as three tiers of paid courses (beginning, intermediate, and master class). Master the Handpan offers more than just lessons; they also include a buyer's guide, community forum, and blog. All aspiring handpan players should find enough free stuff here to their liking.

If you're teaching a specialized topic like the handpan online, your students may be more likely to stumble into your site through a web search than they would be if you posted your course on a bigger online learning platform. Achieving a high degree of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) on your own may be doable if there isn't much competition for what you're teaching and you build your own website.

‍

If you want to have full control over how your online courses make money, you should start your own website.

5. E-Learning Blog
Online courses, coaching sessions, books, and swag are just some of the things and services that many bloggers offer for sale. A blog may serve as a platform from which to demonstrate one's mastery of a subject and to provide useful information to others. A blog is also a great way to build credibility with your market before you try to sell them anything.

Through this project, Aaron Ward hopes to provide others with the tools they need to create and sell their own online courses.

He has a blog where he talks about things like promoting courses and how to edit YouTube videos.

Aaron's paid offerings, such as courses and coaching, are supported by his e-learning blog, which establishes him as an industry expert. Anyone who enjoys reading his blog postings should have no trouble transitioning to his premium material.

One of the best uses for a blog is to promote your premium content or other services. Their high search engine optimization (SEO) value makes them great for building a brand and attracting visitors who found your site on their own.

6. Ecommerce websites
Anyone with an internet connection and some entrepreneurial spirit can set up shop online these days.When starting an online store, keep in mind that there are already a lot of them out there. To stand out, you'll need a strong brand identity and a specific market niche.

The French retailer L'intendance sells food in bulk and niche goods without plastic packaging. Their emphasis on eco-friendliness permeates everything from packaging to advertising campaigns.

There is a sense of crisp newness to their website thanks to the excellent food photography and the light, airy layout of the site.

Anyone can easily open an online store and sell anything from a few products to thousands.In business, you can start small and grow as your clientele grows.

If you are just getting started and want to test the waters with your concept, you may even go as far as making a dropshipping website. Several garment companies, for instance, utilize Printful to make print-on-demand clothes. Since items are manufactured on demand in response to online shop orders, stocking shelves with finished goods is unnecessary.

7. Websites that curate content
Online aggregations of curated material are constantly growing resources. They serve as an ever-expanding library of informative articles, guides, and other materials.

Sidebar provides an incredible assortment of hand-picked information for tech and design enthusiasts. Everything here is sure to pique the interest of any web designer, copywriter, or other creative whose work has any connection to the online world.

"Writing Inclusive and Accessible Digital Products," "Why Does a Design Look Good?" and "How to Increase CSS Performance" are just a few examples of the papers available. The subjects discussed in the sidebar are varied and thought-provoking.

8. Sites that provide a service
A service-based company, such as a real estate agency or an interior design firm, provides a service that its customers often would not do themselves.

Companies that provide services are also present online. Scribly offers the service of creating content.Scribly offers content production services, including writing, social media management, and content planning, to businesses that either don't have or don't have enough of their own in-house content creators.

To supplement your income, consider launching a service-based company if you possess marketable expertise and there is a need for it in your community.

9. Photographic Website
Building a website to showcase your photography is just as important as doing the same for any other creative endeavor. Marketing your photos to a larger audience is just one more benefit of having a photography portfolio website.

Rita Harper made a website for her photography business using Webflow. It shows some of her documentary photography and photojournalism.

Your photographic portfolio, like Rita's, should show what you do best so that you stand out to the people you want to hire you, whether you shoot weddings, are a photojournalist, or do intimate portraits.

If you have a photography website, you may use it to sell prints, too. Don't ignore prospective clients who might appreciate having your photographs displayed in their homes or offices.

10. Portfolio website
Admit it: as artists, we have a tendency to put our faith in our intuition rather than our business sense. Having a portfolio website is helpful when looking for full-time work or trying to attract new customers.

This portfolio was made for designer Lise Kyle Chapman. It shows examples of her work in an upbeat way that shows off both her skills and personality.

You need a portfolio website if you want to increase your income potential and increase exposure for your abilities and work if you're a web designer, writer, or graphic artist.
