Yes, you can do it, it is not at all expensive and difficult.
To the contrary, the cost to build your property can be a very small fraction of the value it will gain and the income it will allow you to get from it.
Because the cost is low and fixed, but the value depends mostly if not entirely on you.
It is similar to owning a big ground for a small price, and being able to build on it whatever you want, with your fantasy being the the limit.
 
This is what the internet allows you to do.
In fact, for setting up your web site you need:
 
1) To define a name for it. This will be your "domain name".
This is your choice, the only important point is that the name must be new, not already used by another site.
Of course you will want to choose a name that is attractive and easy to remember.
 
2) A service called "hosting", that will serve as the ground where your site will find space, and where everybody will be able to visit it.
 
These are the things you "buy". It is a really small investment.
Then you need to build the content, and this is entirely up to you. Some easy "building techniques" are more enough to get you started. Then, according to your future needs and development, you may decide to learn some more advanced tools.
 
After you learn some simple techniques, you can quickly start building your site on your personal computer.
You do not even need to be online. When you are happy with what you have done and you feel ready, you will simply transfer your construction to your hosting service.
In the same way you can easily change and "update" your construction. Just work on your personal computer, then transfer your work to the hosting.
 
You saw it is not difficult, rather you will likely have fun in doing all this. But Owning a piece of the internet can be financially very rewarding, too. Here we come to talk about the value of your site, or the income that you can get from it.
You can use your site to create your own business. In this regard, possibilities are countless and we will not cover this topic here. May be you already have some ideas. May be not, but there are even some methods to help you find good business ideas. The great benefit of having a business in the internet is that your site can produce income 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and without you being at work on it. Once the business is up and running, it will run mostly on its own (of course some activities are needed, but nothing compared to a traditional business). There are also other advantages. One of them is that you will often find your competitors helping you than working against you. It is more a form of cooperation than a competition. Another one is that you can operate your business from the comfort of you home, with no need to lose hours of your precious time on the road.
 
The key point is that for your site to develop into a business, you need to attract traffic to it. It will not be enough to sell the best product at the most convenient price if nobody is aware of your offer. But nothing to worry about. As there are easy techniques to set up your site and to generate ideas, there are effective methods to bring traffic to your site, as well. You just need to learn the proper web marketing tools. And this also is fun and easy to do.
 
My best wishes to you !
