You could always make websites and then put in Google Advertising in there so that you can get money that way.
I am thinking for a computer game, you could build a website and host servers for a Clan or something, and then make money through Google Advertising.



Whenever we get our new internet in the area, I am going to be building a high speed, high capacity server, and basically get it rented out to the gaming community.
Game room servers private and public, chat servers, forums, HDD space, ect. ect.
Doing this is actually very easy.

With our current internet capabilities, I hosted a private room CS1.6 server, and a Team Speak server for a clan once. When that was shut down, I then hosted a server for a new forming Halo clan.

It is ridiculously easy to get things setup and to get things sold. All I did was just gamed around online, found some clans, did a little chit-chat with them, visit their site if they have one, and see what kind of needs they have and offer it to them.
If you actually can find one where they are half-way serious it is pretty awesome. The CS clan that I had servers going for were in some kind of CS tournament thing and were ranked pretty decently. Were winning prizes and what not.

Though granted, I never got the kind of money that you are looking for, but if you have the connection already, you can make a pretty nice penny off of it.

Right now we are only 384Kb upstream, so I was limited when I did it. Though in the next 3 years, a minimum of 10Mb is going to be the normal, so I am going to be able to do a lot of things with that amount of bandwidth and going to get a server computer hooked online.
how do you have a server setup? Is the innitial cost 1,000's of dollars? I live in an apartment complex and am on a network so I don't think that'd work lol.

As far as the website design, Should I first learn how to use front page really well, and then advertise in the yellow pages and some things locally or should I try and join a company to get more business?

Any other ideas would be much appreciated
