The first half of the workshop will examine how to write effectively for websites, focusing on which topics and what kinds of posts will generate strong audience engagement. We will also look at what search engine optimization (SEO) is and how to market your website using social media and email.

The second part of the workshop will turn to ways of earning revenues from your online properties, starting with running advertisements and making use of affiliate marketing. Then, we will look at how one can sell products through their website, create ebooks, and the possibility of using your online profile to teach courses. Finally, we will talk about how one can earn money through Youtubing and podcasting.
