    It depends on your intent...are you interested in truly "investing in websites" whereby you buy websites, increase their value/improve monetization? Or just making money by creating websites.

    then i think the first thing you should do is the sign up for adsense and learn how to drive traffic to a website

    adsense is free
    but without a qaulity website your screwed

    adsense pays you when visitors click on advertisings

    but you need to have a website of your own
    or have someone willing to share


    i also recommend domain flipping

    The easiest thing to do is buy a website in a niche you're familiar with (subject matter). Depending on your budget, you may also look to purchase websites with existing traffic or revenue (though they will cost more). The greatest mistake you can avoid is to stick to things you know (this is, after all, an investment - not an experiment). Buying a website pushing affiliate sales isn't probably the best idea if you have know idea how the industry works, etc. Know the monetization strategy they use, or you plan to use.

    Mostly just do thorough research, and think of ways that you would improve the prospective website, before making bids, or buying.
