5 different ways to monetize your site
Do you have a site and want to monetize it? So you came across the right article, here you will find different tips and solutions to monetize your site.
Making money from his website is very easy, however being able to make a living from it is much more complex… The essential thing is to give an image of confidence and professionalism (such as quality content, a neat design or even a speed of loading). This make it easier to find partners.
So let’s look together at the different ways to monetize your site. The easiest way to earn a few tens or even hundreds of euros is to go through Google AdSense.
1. Google AdSense
AdSense is a simple and free way to earn money by placing advertising on your website. You decide which ads to display among different proposals as well as the location on your blog. One of the great advantages of AdSense is the fact that it is very simple to set up.
AdSense is a must for pay per click (the CPC whose features we will see later). This is the solution goes everywhere that works for almost all themes.
Unfortunately AdSense generates very little money, it will not allow you to live on your passion (the rates are very variable but the average is about 0.25 cents per click) knowing that the click rate represents on average 0.4% of your visits.
The second solution is writing sponsored articles on your site, if you have an e-commerce site you can then write articles from partners specialized in e-commerce!
2. Selling sponsored items and links
Writing sponsored articles increases the visibility of your partners by taking advantage of your audience as well as your community. You can then negotiate a price for this service. The price usually varies depending on the traffic generated on your site, the quality of your audience and the size of your community.
Selling links is in the same way as writing articles. The goal is for your partner to gain visibility and thus increase its turnover.
If, for example, you manage a blog offering news about new technologies and you decide to write an article about a novelty like drones. You can then propose a partnership to a drone distributor and include a link that redirects to its site in your article. In this case, you can agree on a fixed price or a variable price depending on the sales.
If you like creation and are passionate about what you do then the next method may interest you.
3. Sell your own product
The majority of people holding a site do not create a site originally to monetize it but to share their passion with Internet users. After a while, if your site is successful, you will then acquire expert status. This status will allow you to choose to sell products intended for your community.
You have a targeted community at your disposal. So you are in a way to offer services such as advice, or derivatives. Let’s go back to the previous example, you are passionate about new technologies and more specifically drones, a great trend of the moment. You then decide to create your own drone. You will then have a competitive advantage from the outset, namely the notoriety in the market thanks to your blog.
However, if you want to monetize your blog without going through the creation there are logistical/stock constraints… The next way to monetise your website is then made for you.
4. Drop shipping
What is drop shipping? It’s selling a product you don’t have in stock and having it delivered to the customer by your supplier. Drop shipping therefore plays the role of intermediary by offering a service: that of selling the product of another.
Selling products by drop shipping can be a very good solution to monetizing your blog. This has many advantages, you do not manage any stock, not the slightest delivery or even after-sales service. Very convenient, since it allows you to focus only on the content of your site and the acquisition of traffic.
You just have to contact suppliers who sell products related to the theme of your blog and agree on a reward.
6. Monetization at “Lead”
First of all, what is a lead? A lead is a prospect in its first state: it is a commercial track and consequently a potential customer. It can come from a variety of backgrounds: contact form on your website, response to a direct mail marketing campaign or e-mail
Monetizing your website or blog with the CPL(cost per lead) means being paid for any Lead reported to a provider, website or online service.
The Lead can be paid from 0.5 dollars(co-registration) up to100 dollars(contact form: insurance, mutual, loans …) to the unit depending on the sectors. Some webmasters/references have even specialized in these ultra profitable themes. For example, a single-page site is an optimized contact form dedicated to credit redemption, positioned in the Top 3 of Google search results, potentially brings a lot of money to its owner … (several thousand dollars a month!)
