ANSWER: Only an expert would attempt to start a website and expect to have a reasonable return within five months let alone one where you only receive 30% of the proceeds. It will take longer than five months just to learn what you need to learn to be able to do this and your first site normally takes around four years or persistent work with many long hours involved unless you are really lucky with a new idea that catches on.

Your chances are better and you will be much better off putting your efforts into obtaining financial aid from the institution you attend and the government. All respectable colleges have a financial aid office. You can start there.

If you persist in following your path, the chances are over 99% that you will fail.

They told me that am starting with $500 for the domain name and register with one company that would responsible in apply to search engine and the people that would be responsible will be I NEED IT a company based in America, But the per click is among the advert .

Answer
If the company is providing a domain name, hosting, and SEO services, for a number of months, it may be worth $500. Without the SEO services, you can get a free domain name from any number of companies for less than $10 per month depending on the amount of disk space and bandwidth that you need. These places can also provide SEO services or recommend an SEO expert.

Whether or not a 70/30 split is a good deal depends on the current revenue and hit rate the site is already getting and the amount of support and training that you will get from the seller after the purchase. If the site is getting, for example 15,000 hits per month and making $20, and they are selling the same deal to many other people, it amounts to no more than an mlm pyramid scheme where they are planning on a small percentage of success. You will end up making a major investment to get the site to $4,000 per month. How large the investment is will be determined by your knowledge and the knowledge of the people that you hire.

You will also need PPC advertising with the major search engines and to get your ads on the first page requires as much knowledge, expertise, and constant monitoring as SEO does. You can spend thousands of dollars and get nothing in return.
