• Have an existing site and are looking for ways to make money from the site?
• Looking to earn a full time income on the internet?
• Looking to earn a little extra cash online?
• Just curious as how website actually make money?

Here we are going to explore the different ways that websites make money and how you implement them on an existing sites, and how to build new sites to make money.

Money Making Options

• Sell Your own Product/Products or Service
• Sell other peoples products/services via Affiliate programs
• Sell Advertising on the site e.g. Google Adsense

The site you build may be focused on one method or a mixture, and will have an impact on the site size and how you get visitors/traffic.

As an example if you are selling a product/service then paying for traffic is a viable option, but if you are using Google Adsense as the monetization method then it isn't.

Using Affiliate Marketing

 Affiliate programs have been around since the very early days on the Internet and  Affiliate Marketing is a very popular method of making money online.

It is also the one I would recommend that you get started with as:

• Your site doesn't need to be vetted and approved by Google
• Your site can be any size from 1 page to hundreds of pages.
• It can be far more profitable in the long run

 It is also over hyped and although there is lots of good quality information available (both free and paid) it is easy to get ripped off by online marketers selling the latest internet marketing fad.

Using/Selling Online Advertising- Google Adsense
 

Contextual  Advertising (Google Adsense) is by far the easiest method for good information based website owners to begin making money with their website.

 It is the easiest because all you need to do is to paste a small bit of code (Google provide it) into your web pages and Google does the rest.

However your site needs to be approved/vetted by Google and so small new sites might have difficulty qualifying for the program. -See The Google Adsense Guide.

Sell Your own Product/Products or Service

There are two scenarios to consider.

• A pure shopping site (like  amazon.com) - This type of site uses a shopping cart platform and is considered in the ecommerce section.
• The other is a digital download like a report or a course.

This option is probably the most difficult for beginners as you first have to source the product, which usually means creating it yourself.

You will also come across various offers on the net using other peoples content like Resale rights which I don't do and don't recommend.
