How to make money from a website
In this modern era where most of the businesses are now online, a huge number of people also surf the internet daily to buy from them. But these e-commerce websites are not the only way to make money online. You can also monetize your website to earn money from it. Here is how you can use your website to make money:
Host an e-commerce website:
There are many e-commerce websites on the internet today that are earning by selling their products online. If you can make or sell any products, you can also set up your e-commerce website and make your shop. You can easily make a website using platforms like Shopify and BigCommerce, making it very easy to get your shop online. WordPress is also another option to develop your website and host it. Once your site is up you can sell your products easily. You can put your website Ads on Facebook or Twitter to increase your customers.
Give Ad-space:
If you already have a website up and running, you can sell some of the portions of your website from Advertisements. The most used type of Ad-space is pay-per-click. In pay-per-click you earn your money if someone clicks on that advertisement through your website. The average cost of one click is around $0.26 if you sell the ad-space on your website.
You can sell your Ad space to google by using Google AdSense. Google puts ads on your website according to the content you have hosted on your website. It ensures that all ads are relevant to your content.
You can also sell your ad space directly to companies. It is a little more work, but it gives you more control. You can choose the ads you want on your website and can also negotiate the cost per click with the company.
Try Affiliate Marketing:
Affiliate marketing is an agreement you make with a company regarding your website where you send customers towards the company website.
There are two ways, the first is the previously discussed cost per click method. A visitor clicks a link on your website and is redirected to the company website. The second phenomenon is the Cost Per Acquisition. In CPA you redirect the visitors to the company website and then buy something or signs up some forms. The cost of a CPA is higher and can be negotiated with the company as you are making the affiliate money.
Promote products:
Many influencers and bloggers promote products from sponsors to their audience in return for cash. You can do the same with your website. As the traffic on your website increases, you can find companies and make a deal with them, to promote their product.
Keep in mind that the product is related to your content. Keep the reputation of your website intact. Do not promote products that are not related to your content in any way. You also have to mention the sponsors of the product and that the content produced by you is also sponsored.
