The Leading Ways to Make Money Online July 29, 2010 at 9:26 am
I was surfing the web this morning and logged in to my free SEOTraining account to poke around for some reminders and updates on monetization for affiliate marketing. If you are looking to find new ways to monetize your sites, or to learn more about SEO and other website training, take a look at SEOTraining.com. Here are some great resources about ways to make money online:
- Google AdSense & contextual ads – get paid when your users click an ad to go to another website, driven by contextual relevancy. This is the easiest business model of the four, but is also likely a low earner compared to the potential of some of the other business models.
- Ad sales – sell ads directly or as part of an ad network. Many sites will make more from direct ad sales than from AdSense, but it is more work managing ad sales.
- Affiliate programs – get paid a commission when your readers perform an action or buy something from another site. Making a living from affiliate recommendations is hard work because unlike other ad based models you only get paid when one of your visitors actually converts on another site.
- Sell products and/or services – sell services, create indirect revenue streams, or create your own products to sell. This is the hardest business model of the four, but has the greatest potential reward.
- Conditional Advertising – a somewhat advanced module full of tips you can use when thinking about how you scale your website for maximum growth and monetization.
