If there is anybody who is the ambassador of making money from a website – it has to be John Chow of www.johnchow.com. He took his website from £0 to £30k a month in a matter of months. Investing time in a website should be in your financial favour just as long as you take advantage of the different ways that you can use your site to make you profits.
Advertising: Sites such as http://www.adbeans.com or https://adwords.google.com can pay you in exchange for advertising space on your site. They will match relevant private advertisers with your content to bring your a profit, and hopefully new clients for the advertisers. Other sites you might want to try out are http://www.advertisespace.com and http://buysellads.com. Your main focus should be on providing value and benefit for your advertisers, not about getting their money. You will need to provide quality leads to retain your advertisers and their income.
Other advertising opportunities can be found at www.snap.com or even http://www.oiopublisher.com who can manage the billing, rotation and payments for your ad spots.
Membership site: If you are in a position to provide access to people or to content that cannot be found elsewhere on line, you should be charging for it. Welcome to the world of online membership sites. Http://www.sugardaddy.com makes a mint everymonth from their membership site.
Affiliate products: Many site owners write review blog posts for merchants. Another way to make money from affiliate products is to advertise them in your own ad spots, so that visitors will click through to the merchants sales page.
Next steps. Browse through your site and consider potential ad space. To make the most of online revenue opportunities – be savvy and take action that will help you reach your financial goals.
Successful Affiliate Marketing is All About Goals
Success in affiliate marketing depends of setting goals. These have to be realistic and attainable. All over the web there are promises of making $1m here or driving a Lamborghini there or living a Caribbean dream lifestyle. However, the realism of affiliate marketing is a little different.
If you haven’t made your first dime in affiliate marketing yet – then you won’t be making $1 million by the end of the month. Sorry to break the bad news. However, the good news is that by setting realistic goals, you can build a good income for every month.
It’s important to set a fixed goal and without it, it’s very easy to get distracted by other ‘sideshows’ all over the internet. Goals are essential to keep the mind focused and action heading in the right direction.
Here are couple of realistic and achievable goals for the affiliate newbie:
- Make £100 through affiliate marketing by the end of the first month
- Make £2000 a month through affiliate marketing by the end of the first year
Setting up smaller goals that are more easily achieved will motivate more. Every time you achieve a goal, you will need to expand it to the next level up. As you meet your goals your income will snowball.
