The web is fragmenting quickly. People are looking for highly focused websites. It's a great time to be working on the web. For example, dont do a website about general health matters, do one about a particular issue. Dont do a website about music in general, do one about a niche group of bands, or a single group.
If content is good, visitors will come and others will link to it. Get some interaction on the site to keep it 'sticky' and involve the visitor. If it is about someone famous, get a gallery, they attract visitors like magnets.
Once you get past a few thousand visits a month, start your advertising with adsense or the like.
Or you could buy an up and running website. This will save much time (sandbox etc). You'll have to pay though. There is one particularly good website reseller service on the web that is working well for me. I found websites with potential, applied some optimisation, and the money is gradually rolling in.
One of these cost me under $2K but is bringing in $700 monthly already after less than 3 months. There are so many opportunities out there, its hard to get the time to fill them all.
dopecoder, what are you enthusiastic about?
This is the crux of it.
A wise (and rich) writer once said the key to writing well, to good story, is to write what you know. The same is true on the web. So dopecoder - what do ya' know about life, business, people, being alive? :-)
And there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.
I know people with ugly sites who make a lot of money, people can't wait to leave the sites.
I think you need to find a balance.

Indeed, 'twas Jeffrey Archer on a BBC children's Saturday morning show many years ago.
And it's a thought I have held ever since.
Try creating a fan site of your favourite band/composer/author/book/TV show/film/musical/tree

LOL . . . actually I was referring to Stephen King from his non-fiction work, On Writing. I wouldn't be surprised if he got it from his college writing instructor, as did most. :-)
