How Do I Choose the Right Topic for my Website?

Answer: The net is filled with millions of websites. But finding your niche is probably the most important part of this process. It's important that you build a site around something you are absolutely passionate about. You're going to be spending A LOT of time on the topic so it has to be something you really love.

Next, the topic has to be something that is large enough to have lots of demand but yet have a niche somewhere inside the topic that you can capture. Here is a free tool to help you get started.

How Do I Make a Living from my Website?

Answer: There are a ton of ways to make money from your site. You can sell hard goods, e-goods, or you can sell your services like writing or consulting. You can have an e-store, or you can do as I do and become and affiliate, which means you're promoting other people's products that you think are great. In exchange you receive a commission.

How Do I Get the Search Engines to Find My Site?

Answer: There are lots of ways to build traffic to your site, the Search Engines being one of the best. Each search engine has submission guidelines and you simply submit your page by going to their websites and following the guidelines. One of the site building tools I use submits my pages automatically.
