Making money from your website isn’t a myth. It’s doable by everyone.
In fact, turning a part-time, hobby blog into an income generating asset is fairly common with a bit of luck and some hard work.
Watch all the Tips in the Video below
At the very least, you should be able to make enough to cover your basic expenses for a domain and hosting. You might even be able to replace your income (and then some).
Keep
in mind that the strategies listed below range from easy and passive,
to ones that require a TON of on-going work (so make sure you pick
something that suits your site and lifestyle preferences).
There are 33 total tips in this guide, but let’s start with the ten most popular (and predictable) site monetization tips. P.S. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve started a blog or created a website. It works for both. If you don’t have a blog or website, use the step-by-step guides below to create one:
10 Most Common Ways to Make Money with Your Website
Making money from your website isn’t easy. However, these ten tips are probably your best bet to get started.
1. Affiliate Marketing (.. and affiliate links)
Examples of a successful affiliate site: Booking.comAffiliate marketing is one of the most popular (not to mention quickest) ways to make money from your website or blog.
Start
by finding a product you like and would recommend. Then on your
website, you endorse the product and promote it to your website visitors
and email subscribers. If the product or service resonates with these
people, they’ll click on your affiliate link, purchasing the product (while you get a split of the sale price).
The
commission might be anywhere from 30% of the product or service price,
up to as high as 70%. So for example, if the split is 50% and you
promote an e-book that costs $100, you’ll get $50 for simply referring the buyer. Pretty sweet deal, huh?! Where can I find products to promote?
ShareASale – mostly clothes, accessories, and other offline goods.
Clickbank – high percentage payouts, but there’s a lack of GOOD products to promote.
2. Pay Per Click Advertising (Google Adsense)
Example of a successful Google Adsense site: Mashable.comAdWords are the advertisements that show up on the top of Google search result pages.
AdSense
is the reverse, allowing publishers (which includes bloggers and other
website owners like yourself) to tap into Google’s immense advertising
network so that other advertisers can run ads on their website.
The best part about this system is how simple everything is.
Once
you sign up, Google will place a simple code on your website that will
identify the content of your site and start displaying relevant
advertisements. For example, if your site is about pets (dogs &
cats), Google AdSense will start showing your visitors ads for cat food,
dog training and more.
You get paid each time someone clicks on the ad. (Yes, it’s really that easy!)
Your
cut might be anywhere from $0.50 to $5 per click. However, when your
site has enough traffic, you can make hundreds (if not thousands of
dollars) each month. How to apply for for Google Adsense?
Apply for AdSense – Before applying, make sure you keep up with their latest Terms Of Service, though. Google has very strict rules, so it’s hard to get (and stay) approved.
3. Sell Ad Space
Incorporating Google’s AdSense on your website is just one way to make money from online advertisements.
Another
is to simply sell your own ad space directly to companies looking to
sponsor different blogs. For example, you can come up with a price for
each space, like: “Sidebar banner ads will cost $xxx per month”.
You can get paid depending on how many visitors you get. Typically this is quoted as a dollar amount per one thousand impressions (or CPM).
So for example, you might see it as: $5 CPM. If the website gets
100,000 visits a month, that ad price translates into $500 bucks.
The
good thing about this approach is that if your site gets a ton of
traffic from different sources, your simple banner ad pricing can go up
to as high as $5000 per month! However, the obvious downside is that if
your site doesn’t get a lot of traffic, you can’t expect to earn as much
either.
The other common method when selling ad space directly from your website is a simple direct price.
Here you simply name a price (based on what you think it’s worth,
relative to what the competition might be charging), and get paid
upfront at the beginning of each month. This pricing is also generally a
simple flat fee, not tied to a Cost Per Click like AdSense. Where can I let others know that my website is selling ad space?
AdvertiseSpace – I haven’t tried it, but it should be a good alternative.
4. Sell Your Own Digital Product (Ebook for Example)
You have the potential to make the most money on a per sale basis when you can sell your own directly.
That’s because there’s no middle-man or person in between you and the buyer that’s taking a ‘cut’ from the money earned.
This
approach seems fairly straightforward because you can simply sell these
products directly through your website and get paid immediately.
Unfortunately, it’s not that simple in reality.
Creating good
products that are well made and polished require a ton of time and
additional resources (like design, content, etc.). So there’s a lot of
‘hidden costs’ in both time spent or contractors to collaborate with.
Selling your own products on your site also bring up problematic issues
like payment gateways (how are you going to collect payment?), shipping
(how are you going to mail or distribute the products?) and taxes (oh
man, don’t get me started).
And if that doesn’t sound like enough
work already, you’ll also need a well designed, persuasive landing page
to make sure your product has a strong conversion rate. Additional resources: How to sell products on your website. How to set up a PayPal “Buy Now” button on WordPress
5. Accept Donations from visitors
Don’t have a ton of monthly visits, but you do have a strong, engaged community? Simply ask your readers to donate!
Accepting
one-off donations isn’t a fast road to wealth, however, it can help you
cover expenses in the short-term if people like what you have to say
and want to support your journey.
For example, PayPal offers
little donation buttons that only take about ten minutes to add to your
website, offering you a quick way to recoup what you might be spending
on a good web hosting, new product creation, research, and all of the other costs to maintain a healthy, active blog.
For example, web.archive.org makes a lot of money from donations (most likely due to their millions of visitors per month). How to set up donation buttons?
6. Accept sponsored posts & articles (…but use nofollow tag)
One of the common ways to making more money from your website means getting those visitor numbers UP.
Once you’ve done the hard work of building steady traffic to your site with an engaged community, there are a few different ways to monetize your hard work.
For example, many companies go out of their way to look for blogs that will feature their sponsored content. ‘Native advertising‘ like this works well because it still lines up with your site’s primary content, so it comes across relevant and transparent.
You
can also review the products from a company in an ‘advertorial’ that’s
part content, part advertisement. For example, if your website is all
about the latest iOS games for iPhones and iPads, the creator of one of
those ads would LOVE to have you review and feature their app to your
fans.
When done right, this can create a win/win scenario. However
done poorly, with irrelevant or inauthentic site content, and it can
erode all of the reader’s goodwill you’ve worked so hard to create in
the first place. For further reading:
Businesses thrive off new leads coming in their door to inquire about their products or services.
It’s no surprise then that they’re always on the lookout, searching for creative ways to find new sources of leads to help them grow.
For example:
Let’s
say you have a website about teaching math skills. Your reader’s
information (like their email address or phone number) would be of great
value to different online schools who’re looking to sell their courses
to eager, proactive students.
Basically, you’re connecting the
dots; playing the matchmaker by introducing two parties who can benefit
one another. While it’s similar to how affiliate marketing works, in
this case it doesn’t actually matter if your reader ends up purchasing
their product or not. They’re just looking for an introduction at this
point. Where can I find such offers?
Spend any amount of time reading blog growth tips, and you’re sure to come across people saying “the money’s in the list“.
They’re
referring to your email list, which comprises your most loyal readers.
The objective is to convert as many strangers who visit your site for
the first time into passionate followers who want to stay up-to-date on
your latest work or content.
Admittedly this is a long term
strategy (and you definitely won’t get rich overnight). But it’s one of
the best, long-term methods to profitably growing your blog into a
full-fledged, money making enterprise.
Never lose sight of the
importance in creating relationships with your followers, however.
Offering great information or free help is a perfect way to start.
Spamming people with unsolicited offers is one of the fastest ways to
abuse reader’s trust and sabotage your long-term goals. How exactly does it EXACTLY work?
Listbuilding 101 – Probably the best introduction on the internet.
9. Set up an e-commerce site (hard work is required)
Websites don’t have to be just content. They can be centered around tools or products in an online store.
Be forewarned, though:
There
are literally hundreds of thousands of eCommerce websites or online
stores. Make sure that yours is filling a unique niche, with a detailed
strategy and the latest marketing techniques to stand out from the crowd. How do I create a successful online store/shop?
10. Flip Your Websites (Create -> Sell -> Reinvest)
Believe it or not, there’s almost always a market out there for your website.
That
means if you’ve built up a following (or possibly even sold a few
products or included advertising on your site), you might be able to
sell it to someone else and make a quick buck.
To be
honest, I typically don’t suggest people plan on flipping their website
or blog. (I’m a bigger fan of creating something for the long term.)
But
you can’t deny how lucrative it can be. For example, if your website is
making $500 per/month through selling ad space, you might be able to
sell the site for $5,000 – $10,000 (which is about 12x – 22x monthly income).
Another interesting option is to sell ready-made sites, These are MUCH cheaper, but there’s still some money to be made. Where can I sell my site?
We’ve counted down some of the most popular ways to earn money from your website.
However, we’re only just scratching the surface.
Below are another 23 ways to make money with your website.
(Keep in mind that some of them are slightly connected with the ones above yet they are little ‘out of the box’.)
Another 23 ways to monetize your website
11.Sell text-link ads (NOT RECOMMENDED) – There’s still a demand for text-links ads (believe it or not). But please keep in mind that these violate Google’s Terms of Service (which means you run the risk of getting penalized). To avoid it, simply keep the ‘nofollow‘. 12. Set up “infolinks” – Infolinks
are a great alternative to AdSense advertisements, that are very easy
to setup. However, the downside is that they aren’t high converting, and
the payouts (on a per click basis) are also quite small. 13. Use monetization widgets – These are also very similar to Google Adsense, so they’re worth trying out as an alternative. 14.Set up RSS feed ads. – Exactly what they sound like. Ad space for sale in-line with content from an RSS feed. 15.Give away premium content for extra $$$ – If you are producing mind-blowing,
awesome content that visitors can’t get enough of… you can always try
asking them to pay for some of it! (Crazy concept, huh?!) I’m personally
fine with paying for premium content. However, don’t ask people to pay right away. Instead, stay focused on growing an audience and visitors first. 16.Start a private forum or coaching class(es)
– Most of us have unique skills that others can benefit from. Setting
up a simple forum or classes is an easy way to (a) help others and (b)
generate recurring income at the same time. 17. Create a job board–
Setting up a job board on your website is another simple, easy way to
collect additional money when people accepting different job offers from
various companies or individuals. 18.Offer consulting – Offering
consulting gigs and providing services can help you bring in decent
sums of money while other forms of ‘passive’ revenue take a little time
to build up. You can offer these services via email, forum and or even
Skype. 19.Add “hire me” page on your website
– Your new website or blog is also a perfect place to feature your
freelancing services. Showcasing samples or evidence of past work will
help greatly increase your chances of getting hired. 20.Sell or rent internal pages – These aren’t very common, however, you might be surprised at what people would be willing to rent or spend money on! 21.Display pop-ups advertisements – Pop-ups can be extremely annoying. However, they’re also another easy way to make some quick money. 22. Use content lockers – ‘Content
locking’ is similar to hiding or protecting pieces of content until a
visitor takes some action to redeem it. For example, maybe you want them
to pay a small amount, or perhaps click on an advertisement. 23. Display audio ads –
These are relatively new and are becoming increasingly more common.
Personally, I haven’t tried it. But I have read some articles and it
definitely looks promising. 24. Sell an e-book – This one is a no-brainer. Many people sell e-books through their site. Some examples:
If you have a website about recipes and cooking, you can easily create
and sell your own recipe book. The same applies in almost every single
other niche. 25.Create a conference around your website – Lots of work, but a huge potential payoff as well. 26.Set up a teaching program – Kinda like a cross between selling your own content and offering consulting or services. 27.Host paid webinars – Similar to the last tip, which is largely a mix of consulting through content. 28.Create a membership site – Yet another tier on the ‘info-business’ model that has the added benefit of bringing in recurring revenue. 29.Offer coupons
(with affiliate links) – People are eagerly looking for discount &
promo codes for everything from clothes to travel vacations. If you can
(find and) offer a valid one, you can also get a cut of the revenue too. 30. Host polls on your website– Hard to believe, but easy to do! 31.Offer writing gigs
– You can easily make $20 – $30 per 500-word articles writing for other
companies or individuals. There’s also a huge potential for fluent
speakers of different languages, as many companies want their websites
translated by those who speak the native language. 32.Create a paid directory/business page – You charge people for listing or submissions to the page. 33.Just copy what others are doing – My personal favourite! 😉

Facebook may have messed up on its math again. Or maybe not.
Facebook claims that its ads can reach more people in the US than the number of people who live in the US. Pivotal Research analyst Brian Wieser picked up on the discrepancy after checking potential audience estimates provided by Facebook’s self-serve ad-buying tool and comparing Facebook’s estimates with estimates calculated last year by the US Census Bureau.
According to Wieser’s digging — and confirmed by my own checking of Facebook’s and the US Census Bureau’s numbers — Facebook estimates that its ads (running across Facebook, Instagram and its Audience Network ad network of third-party publishers) can reach 10 million more 18- to 24-year-olds and 15 million more 25- to 34-year-olds in the US than live in the US, per Census data.
Obvious question: Why would Facebook tell advertisers it can show their ads to 25 million more people in the US than actually live here? Maybe not-so-obvious answer: It’s not.
Comparing apples and apple sauce
Facebook’s audience estimates cannot be compared apples-to-apples with the US Census Bureau’s resident estimates. Each estimate is calculated differently and vulnerable to separate reporting errors.
Facebook’s figures include people whose Facebook profiles claim they live in the US, as well as people who happen to be in the US because they are traveling and let Facebook track their location, as detailed on Facebook’s site. The inclusion of residents and travelers would also explain why Snapchat’s self-serve ad-buying tool claims its ads can reach up to 56.4 million 18- to 34-year-olds in the US, or 75 percent of the Census Bureau’s estimate for that population, when ComScore estimates the app reaches only 60 percent of that demographic; Snapchat Ad Manager also pegs the high end of the app’s reach among 18- to 24-year-olds to slightly exceed the total population of 18- to 24-year-old residents in the US.
Meanwhile, the US Census Bureau’s figures only include the people who live in the US and rely on people raising their hands in a governmental roll call from which its estimates are extrapolated (Here’s the full methodology).
“Reach estimations are based on a number of factors, including Facebook user behaviors, user demographics, and location data from devices. They are designed to estimate how many people in a given area are eligible to see an ad a business might run. They are not designed to match population or census estimates,” said a Facebook spokesperson in an emailed statement. The spokesperson also said that the estimates provided by Facebook Ad Manager are only projections of how many people an ad could reach, not how many it will actually reach, and that the estimates are not used to charge advertisers for their campaigns.
Problems with self-reported stats
Given that both Facebook’s numbers and the Census Bureau’s numbers are estimates, either could be — and more likely, is — wrong. Both rely on people providing accurate information; therefore, both are susceptible to people fudging the facts.
Eleven-year-olds may want to be on Facebook like their older siblings, so instead of waiting until they turn 13, they register accounts claiming to be 15 years old to skirt Facebook’s minimum age requirement. Adults may also misreport their ages on Facebook, disguising who they actually are to evade Big Brother or to appeal to people in a different age group. And people may either elect not to fill out a Census form or inadvertently fill in the wrong information, leading to incorrect counts like the number of same-sex married couples.
Facebook’s past mistakes impart distrust
Over the past year, Facebook has been plagued by measurement problems that have eroded marketers’ trust in its math and mounded evidence of its fallibility. Since September 2016, Facebook has disclosed 10 separate measurement errors, including one in May 2017 that led to Facebook mischarging advertisers. As a result, any anomaly in Facebook’s numbers is more likely to be immediately interpreted as inaccurate instead of inconsistent for a reason.
