0:00 There's a type of website that makes money quietly every single day and nobody is talking about it. For this kind of website, I'm not talking about blogs where you're all constantly uploading content and creating an entire posting schedule of articles and content. I am talking about utility websites. Something that you create one time that continues to make money for you. For example, I am always Googling for certain calculators on Google. Something like a loan payment calculator, a compound interest calculator. Possibilities are really endless with these. Another example of these types of utility websites are logo makers that I have personally Googled.
0:36 We've done this on the channel together. And also, for example, if you want to save an Instagram reel or you want to convert a MP4 to an MP3, that is all these utility websites. You have seen them before. These are simple tools that people search for every single day on Google. And I don't know if you guys know this, but every single time somebody clicks on one of these websites or uses one of these tools, that website makes money. That's why they're free for the user. This website is making $27,000 per month. This one is making $11,000 per month. And this one is making $85,000 per month. If they can do these, why can't you? Years ago, it used to be so hard to create this type of website.
1:15 But nowadays, because of the power of AI, you can literally make one of these in less than 10 minutes. You don't need to know how to code and AI is your new developer. So today, I'm going to show you guys how to build one of these all by using the power of AI. All you have to do is describe whatever idea you have to AI and it will create an entire utility website for you. I'm also going to show you how to make money with this type of website. This website can start earning money through ads, affiliate links, and digital products. So I will show you exactly how to set that up as well. So you can turn this simple website into a real long-term business model. So let's get right into this tutorial. My entire YouTube channel is dedicated to helping you level up your life by learning all about online business. With the goal to help you to achieve the same level of success I have reached with my 100% free courses and education right here on YouTube. I put the link for this down in my description box below. And once you click that link, it will bring you to this page. Then, you'll just click start for free, create a free account, and then you will be brought to this page. Inside Horizons, there's an AI chat box. This is where you describe the project. For example, we can just type create a website with an online business profit calculator.
2:24 Once we submit that prompt, Horizons automatically generates the layout, the pages, the text, and the design just from that description. The next thing that we'll want to do is we want to refine this website and make it look a lot nicer for the user. A lot of times, these websites are so basic. So why not add a little bit more touches to it? And we can refine this entire website directly through this chat. For example, we can ask it change the color theme.
2:51 And it will change it to whatever we ask it. We can have it add the calculator tool. We can have it add a headline explaining the profit calculator. And Horizons updates the site instantly. Another really cool feature is the select and edit. You can click a specific part of the page and edit just that section without changing everything else. And the site is automatically mobile responsive, meaning that it adapts perfectly to phones and tablets. Our next step here is to add real website features. So Horizons also includes tools that normally require developers. For example, the integrated back end allows the website to store user data, manage logins, authenticate users, send automated emails, and you can even obviously connect your Stripe and PayPal if you want to accept payments if you eventually do want to create a subscription or sell something.
3:42 There is even an online store integration inside of this in case you want to open this and expand this even more and sell physical digital products or services right on this website. So you can see that this is something that you can really expand on long-term. So now we have our utility website built and it's looking so good. I cannot believe how fast you can throw something together. Like this would have taken months back in the day. So to start using Hostinger Horizons, it's actually very affordable. Again, like it I personally have even spent thousands of dollars in the past on developers.
4:14 Hostinger Horizons has this plan which is only $13.99 a month if you have it for 12 months. And if you guys go down here which says do you have a coupon code, click that and then type in Baddie, click apply, and you're going to see you get an even bigger discount off of this. Another really cool thing about what you get included with this is you also get your hosting, your domain, and your professional email for free all built in this one platform. And you can launch this literally with one click, which is so cool. And that's another big advantage of the Hostinger Horizons.
4:47 Also, if you guys ever get stuck on anything, Hostinger does provide 24/7 help. So if you guys are like building this website and you're getting stuck, don't worry. You can always reach out to Hostinger and they always respond really fast. So to have full-blown website for an entire year to for $151.09, that's like absolutely insane because I'm telling you like I am just over here blown away by the power of AI and these new tools because the amount of money and time I've spent building websites in my life, it's just so crazy. So definitely really cool and now you guys know how to use that. So now, let's talk about the fun part, which is how to actually monetize this website that you have just built. One of the easiest ways to set up immediately is through Google AdSense. And you will notice this on every single one of these utility websites. You if you Google like a calculator, you're going to see ads appear right on the page. And this is almost always through Google AdSense.
5:43 Every time somebody just sees those ads, you earn revenue. And Horizons directly integrates with Google AdSense. So connecting this monetization route is so simple. Let me show you how to set this one up. All you have to do is just go to the Google AdSense website, click get started. Then just sign in using your Google account, which is your Gmail. Next, you'll just enter in your website URL. And this just tells Google which site you want to display ads on. They just want to make sure it's legit and it's like not something scamming. Then Google will give you a small verification code. You simply just copy that code and then you just paste it into your website settings. And inside Hostinger Horizons, you can paste the code into your site's header section. So this confirms that you own the website.
6:29 It's going to take some time for Google to approve it. It's not instant. Sometimes it is, but it's usually not. And this usually takes a few days to a couple weeks. Once it's approved, your website will start being eligible to display ads. And then once people click on your website, they will see the ads. And then you will be able to see inside your AdSense dashboard all of the money that you are making from that. Another thing really important is inside your AdSense dashboard, just enable auto ads. And this allows Google to automatically place ads on your pages. So when somebody visits your calculator, ads are going to appear around the content. And it's really simple as that. If you guys want to start selling services or digital products through this website as well, I have an entire free course all about digital products on my YouTube channel. So all the extra videos that I think will be helpful to your learning and really mastering this, I will link right down in my description box below for you guys. And what's so cool about this is we really, you know how in like every video we always go over marketing?
7:26 It's really cool because in this video, we don't really have to go over marketing because how this is done is all through Google SEO, which means search engine optimization. And usually with for online stores like physical products or digital products, I don't like to rely on search engine optimization. But for this specifically, this is something that you can literally just have and Google will drive traffic to, which is really cool. So you want to just make sure that the way that you're wording things, the name that you pick for the website, and everything like that can really be something that people are searching on Google for those things. You can use sites like Google Trends to really track trends for different niches, for example, to get ideas for different things. So definitely just use the free data that Google has available on Google Trends.
8:12 And to really be able to just see like what people are searching for so you can get even more ideas for utility websites that maybe there's not as many out there yet. If you guys built your utility website, let me know down in the comments below which one did you decide to build? Because there's not just calculators. I know we did a calculator today just to show you something like, you know, kind of basic and straightforward. But the possibilities are so endless with this. So let me know down in the comments what you're thinking about building or what you've built. If you have any questions that I didn't get to today, again, leave a comment. I try to respond to all of my comments. My entire YouTube channel is dedicated to helping you level up your life by learning all about online business.
