How to make revenue from your website

This is a question many people ask. Even when I visit forums there would always be an Affiliate forum with people asking what's the best way to make money out of a content website. Well there are mainly three ways of making money out of a website:
  1. Inserting Google Ads
  2. Selling products and services as affiliate
  3. Selling ad space

Now let's discuss these three methods. I think the easiest way of making money out of a website is to insert google ads. To add these ads to your website you have to signup to the Google Adsense program found at www.google.com/adsense. Money is earned from these google ads per CPM and clicks. There are various things one should do to increase the click rate and I will blog about it later on this week.

Secondly one may sell products and services as an affiliate. What I mean by affiliate is, one sells a product or a service that is provided by another company and for selling it for them one earns commission. A well known example of this is www.amazon.com, although their commission rate is really low. There are certain sites that have agreements with various companies and therefore one can access many affiliate programs from one central place. An example of such sites are www.clickbank.com and www.cj.com.

The last way of how one may earn money out of his website is by selling ad space to advertisers. For example the owner sells an ad space for $100 a month. Personally I prefer this type of income. :)

Therefore above we have spoken about the three main ways of how to earn money from a content website. There are other ways of how to earn more money out of a website but they would just be a derivation of what I wrote above. I hope that you liked this post and Good luck to all!!!!
