Ways to Earn Money from a Website
Below are some ways in which you can monetize your site. You can use them all or just hand pick from them.
Using Affiliate Programs
Basically it means selling other companies products. You don't have the aggro of stock, delivery, customer complaints and so on.
This works by joining an affiliate program just like commission junction, or alternatively you can contact companies direct offering to affiliate for them. You then get a percentage of each sale you get for them.
Adding pay per click to your site
Pay per click is one of the most popular ways to monetize a website. You get paid for each time a visitor clicks on an ad that is on your website pages. You will find the most popular ppc programs are adbrite, bidvertiser and Google adsense.
Selling ads on your site
Advertisers will pay you in return for their banner on your site. How much you can charge for ads will depend on your visitor stats and ctr (click through rate). Contact potential advertisers direct offering them a slot on any of your pages.
Sell products that are your own
This one speaks for itself really. Maybe you have products that you make, or know someone who has their own products that you can get hold of cheaply. Internet shopping is more popular than ever, why not cash in?
Advertise your services on your website
