Here are 10 ways to make money from your website:
1. Affiliate program
Affiliate programs, or affiliate programs, are usually based on earning a commission on the sale of the advertiser’s product or service. In practice, all you have to do is place a banner or an affiliate link on your website, and when a user goes through it to the advertised site and makes an action (e.g. purchase), the advertiser gains a percentage of profit or a certain amount.
2. Google AdSense
Earning money from Google AdSense ads is relatively simple. All you have to do is register in the program and then create a new advertising unit, i.e. a place on the page, which we give to our disposal. Google places an advertisement on the indicated area, from which we can draw profits. We receive the money earned in the program when our total earnings exceed $100.
3. Selling advertising on your own
If you have a large community around your site and have adequate advertising space, there is nothing to prevent you from posting information about the cost of advertising. Large companies usually use advertising networks, but direct contact is also often practised, and thanks to this you can individually establish prices with the advertiser.
4. Micropayments
Departing from the trend of earning money only through advertisements on the website, we can apply a slightly different strategy, i.e. introduce micropayments in exchange for making the content available. If an Internet user is interested in a given article or e-book on our website, and there is no reliable information on the topic he/she is interested in anywhere on the Internet, we can easily charge a fee for displaying the content, e.g., via text message or quick transfer.
5. Sales of educational products
An increasingly popular method is to monetize educational products such as an e-book, tutorials, and online courses. This is the most time-consuming way, it requires reliable and structured knowledge. However, it has one basic advantage – you don’t have to share the profits, for example in the case of affiliate programs.
6. Real-Time Bidding and Google Display Network
The common denominator of both solutions is the auction model for buying advertising space, which is derived from financial exchange systems. In this case, each advertiser auctions with others and sets the prices they are willing to pay for advertising space. Settlement is based on CPC and CPM models.
7. Sponsored articles
If the advertisers’ articles are of really high quality, they don’t have to be just a source of income, but can also enrich our site with valuable content. Prices with advertisers can of course be set individually, based on the number of links leading to his website or the number of promoted products.
8. Cooperation with SEO agents
If we have a valuable website with a large number of indexed pages, we can sell SEO links. In practice, for a fee, we put a link on our website (usually in the article or footer), which redirects to another website.
9. Sales of own products
Once our website has built a brand and has a large community around it, it’s a good idea to launch a store within the site and make money from selling products. This is an increasingly popular solution among bloggers who provide their own collection of clothes, accessories or jewellery.
10. Whitepress
Unlike posting individual sponsored articles in your own space, Whitepress gives you much more options. Acquiring advertisers on your own can sometimes be difficult, but by using these types of portals you have a much better chance of getting valuable content for your website and earning additional income.
