Creating a news site is a very time-consuming and time-consuming activity, but at the same time it is very profitable. Daily traffic to news sites is at a fairly high level, which provides additional opportunities for earning money on contextual advertising.

Computer, constant Internet access, money to pay for a domain name and hosting
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a domain name and suitable hosting for your website. The domain should be short, catchy, and easy to pronounce. For these purposes, domains in the. РФ zone are perfect, because many good names in this segment are not yet taken and they are remembered without problems. Choose hosting taking into account the fact that in six months or a year the traffic to your site will increase dramatically and the server must cope with heavy loads. Do not skimp on a beautiful name and reliable hosting - the miser pays twice.
Step 2
Select the topic of the site. It can be devoted to regional, sports, political news, show business events, car market news, weather, etc. The main thing is that the topic is close and interesting to you in the first place. If you think that after 2 years you will lose interest in your chosen topic, then you should not even start. History remembers many great projects that died just because the author lost interest.
Step 3
Choose an engine for your site. Install the most famous CMS on local hosting (Wordpress, Joomla, DLE, Livestreet, InstantCMS, etc.) and create drafts of your resource on them. Evaluate all the difficulties, disadvantages and advantages of the tried and tested engines and choose the most convenient and relevant for you. This is a very important step, because if you choose a fancy, but incomprehensible engine, and in the future you need to modernize the site for the needs of the user, then you will have to pay the publishers to add a survey, slider or registration form to the system. It is much better to know the resource and development tool like the back of your hand and be sure that any problem that arises will be solved.
Step 4
Fill your site with content regularly. Never copy news from major news portals. Firstly, if all articles are completely copied, then this will lower your site in the search results until it is completely out of order. Secondly, this is considered a violation of copyright, and if you put a link to the source under each news item, then the value of such a news resource is reduced to zero. Rewrite each news item and use key phrases. If you do not have time for this, then you will have to hire a copywriter.
