MAKE MONEY
WITH YOUR WEBSITE
Join
Affiliate Programs. On the Internet there are lots of companies all around
at this time, who are literally throwing away cash to get customers to their
sites and to promote their products and services on your website. You do this by
adding their advertising banners and text links to your site. They are so called
affiliate programs. Once a customer clicks on an affiliate link on your site
which takes them to the affiliate site, if he then make a purchase at the
affiliate site you earn commissions ranging from 3% up to a massive 50%
depending on which affiliate scheme you join.
Charge for
access.
Does your Web site contain content or information that people are willing to pay
money for access to? If so, then you can password protect part of your site and
charge people a fee for access to that information. Many companies use this
approach. Part of their website is free, but to access the majority of the
information, you have to pay a fee.
Pay Per Click Program. These are similar to
banner advertising, except you only make money if a visitor clicks on your
sponsor's banner. There are restrictions to this though, otherwise some people
will abuse the system by just clicking back and forth on the banner to register
click throughs. Usually, you are paid by what is known as per "unique visitor"
to the sponsor's Web site.
Start your own Affiliate Program. With your own
Affiliate Program, you can recruit an army of people i.e your affiliates who
will recommend your product on their website for a percentage of any sale they
refer. You have the power to exponentially increase your income as more and more
affiliates sign up and you continue to teach your existing affiliates how to
increase their commission checks and also your income.
Sell Ad Space on your
Website.
This has always been a good money maker. The catch is that you need to build
your website to such a level where it brings in substantial traffic. Once your
website has lots of highly targeted traffic or a large targeted opt-in list, you
may be able to sell advertising. This in turn brings in advertisers who are
willing to pay you to display their ads on your website when they are being
directed at large numbers of their target market. Selling ad space can be a
great additional profit stream but it is unlikely to keep your business afloat
on its own.
Create a high demand Newsletter or E-zine. If you can provide in demand
and industry leading information on a monthly, bi-monthly or weekly basis, you
can sell subscriptions to a newsletter. Delivered via e-mail it costs nothing
but time to produce. In the same way as information products you can focus your
newsletter on just about any topic and find interested subscribers. Although it
is always best to concentrate on some area you have an interest yourself. So,
say you sell your subscription for a measly $5 a month and you have 500
subscribers that represents $2500 per month for a days work. Add to that the
possibility of selling advertising space in your newsletter and promoting your
affiliate programs and you have a very viable business. You will need a website
to attract subscribers and the facility to take credit card subscriptions
online. You should also offer automated delivery of the first newsletter when a
subscriber has paid.
Sell your content. Your content may be available freely to
everyone on the Internet, but not everyone has access to the Internet You can
try to sell your stories or information to off-line magazines and publications.
Conduct your own surveys. You can either conduct your own survey and
sell the results to third parties that are interested in your visitors, or you
can charge a fee from third parties for including their survey in your Web site.
Sell
E-mail Lists. If you have a guest book or a newsletter mailing list,
you can create a database of their names and e-mail addresses as well as those
of your customers. Once you have enough names, you can sell them on to direct
marketers. Make sure that you tell your customers their names and e-mail
addresses may be rented to third parties. Some people don't wish to receive
third party advertising, so give them an option to opt-out of this
list.
Sell Pixels or Words on your Website. Do you remember the
man who sold a million pixels on a web page for a dollar each, in order to pay
for college and much more? Buyers got to advertise how they wanted with their
100 or 200 pixels space. The next incarnation was a buy-a-word site. Pay for a
word and it was linked the buyers web site.
