15 Ways To Make Money With A Site

15 Ways To Make  Money With A Site

Now, you must be having a site or if you are reading this. There are several ways of making money online and monetizing a site is one way to make some money online.

Here I have compiled for you of some of the best ways to make some money online with a site   . 

Offer Live Training And Workshops

In most cases over 70% of people that read your site may never react to  what you say. Having a workshop means they learn from you and implement with you, this is a very attractive offer to some people and they are willing to pay high prices to do it.

You don’t just make money from the price of the ticket but you can also make money from selling follow up workshops and masterminds. If you bring in speakers, then you also collect 50% of everything they make if they sell from stage at the end.

Mention your event everywhere and keep hustling.

Benefits Of Live Trainings And Workshops

• You can make you a lot of money.
• People will invite you to speak at their events so that you can sell yours.

Note however that this is Time consuming and Stressful for first timers.

Email Marketing

Building an email list can make you a lot of money, help you build a solid brand and of course help readers come back to your site, time after time.

Email marketing can be seen to make you money in a few different ways, such as direct email promotions, to deliver free reports that are monetized and my favorite, to drive traffic back to your site where you make money from other methods.

One list building technique you should be trying is a squeeze page. A squeeze page is a dedicated page on your site to getting a visitor to sign up for your mailing list. You can create one with Optimizepress .

 In order to start collecting emails, you need to sign up for Aweber, which hosts your emails, which you use to send messages, create follow up campaigns, split test etc.

Personally I would suggest you get PopUp Domination, because it’s the best thing for email marketing.

Benefits of email marketing

• One email can make you thousands.
• Anyone can do it.
• Very direct way to market.
• Can work on autopilot, if you setup aautoresponder series
• Considered by most to be the no1 way to make money online consistently.

Note, if subscribers don’t like your emails, they will unsubscribe.

Promote Products As An Affiliate

This means that you receive a commission when someone buys something.

Fortunately nearly all products that exist have an affiliate program. If you can’t find an affiliate program for a particular product, type product name + affiliate into Google.

In my experience, affiliate marketing works best when paired up with email marketing. Top marketers consistently agree, year after year, that email marketing is their most important income source. 

Combine that with affiliate marketing and you have a winner.

For a fitness blogs, to find products to promote, you could go to Clickbank, find a product about six pack abs and grab an advertising banner from their resources area and put it up on my website.

Some things to note about this are

 That Earnings are varying , one time you can earn $100 a month and the other $1000 the next.

High converting sales pages can have rubbish products.

Benefits Of Product Promotion

• You Can earn you big bucks
• It is Easy to setup and doesn’t require much support.
• Passive income.

Create & Sell Your Own Digital Product

The simple version of creating a product is as followed, create a 30+ page word document about something, turn it into a PDF and sell it.

You can find out more about creating a product and selling it online by reading these posts.

Personally I think your first steps would be to ask your audience what they want to know more about, create a product around that and sell it!

When it comes to selling any product of your own, I recommend using SamCart for your checkout page, upsells and affiliate program. They have a free trial, so make sure to try it out.

Benefits Of Creating And Selling Your Own Products

• Passive income because of affiliates promoting it.
• Great for building your brand and authority.
• Affiliates send you traffic, build your business.
• Big Money Earner.

Sell Advertising Space

The most popular way to make money from a website is by placing ads on it. We all know what ads look like, but did you know that they function in many different ways such as Pay Per Click, Pay Per 1000 Views or Pay Per Time Frame.

The biggest downside of website adverting is that most people know what they look like and avoid clicking them.

I always lean towards finding advertisers myself. In my experience you get paid more, build better partnerships and can do a better job for them.

You should however Be warned that Google does not like the practice of buying and selling text links. People buy text links because Google rank sites better based on quantity and quality of links. When you link to someone, you are telling search engines that you trust this site and you are giving them some of your authority. Google likes this to happen organically. So when you buy/sell links and get caught, Google will punish you by slapping your site down in the rankings.

Benefits Of Selling Advertising Space 

·       There is Often guaranteed income.

·       There is Little effort to monetize.

·       You Saves you a lot of time.

·       Great way to connect with others in your industry.

Create A Job Board

With this one ,People looking to hire someone will post a job on your board and readers will apply for the job.

Here ,Jobs can be anything from, writers to trainers. I have seen smaller blogs try to do this and completely fail because it’s competitive and if you can’t send them anyone to apply, it’s pointless for them to post a job.

I recommend you check out ThemeForest, they have a good selection of different job board plugins and themes.

I suggest you Charge a low price at the beginning so that you can attract a lot of customers and if they get applications they will be happy to return.

Benefits Of A Job Board

• Completely hands of, you don’t have to do anything.
• Adds to credibility

Note however, that it doesn’t work for small blogs and is Very competitive at times.

Selling Services

Selling services means wanting to get more clients, of which they need to get traffic and sites are best for that!

Selling services is a very popular technique people use to make money from a website and is often the reason for them building a blog in the first place.

The easiest way to start selling your services on your blog is to create a new page within WordPress and call it services. Here you can put in the information about what you offer, testimonials and a buy now button.

Benefits Of Selling Services

·       There is a High converting,

·       Highly profitable.

·       Easy to deliver.

·       Low refunds.

Note however that there can be periods of time where you have no customers!

Promote Something

Content is the major reason people visit your site  so create content which includes them buying something so that when they do buy, they buy via an affiliate link, and make you money!

What I do to create a tutorial, is I start with the product, find one that you are using and you get a lot out of, it of course needs to have an affiliate program. Then do a tutorial about doing something using that tool.

Benefits Of Promotion

• It makes great content.
• It is good for search engines.
• Quick to produce.
• It is Profitable though in long term.

Review Products As An Affiliate

Here you can review anything from software, to bikes, cars, hotels, holidays, food, anything you could think of and it’s all tax deductible if you buy something to review.

I personally want to review one product a month, it’s not so much that readers will be turned off but enough that it will make up a high proportion of my income. Doing small amount of reviews means you can pick all the best products and don’t have to speak about negative ones.

Benefits Of Product Review

• It is a Great source of income.
• It Converts higher then banner ads and email promotions.
• There are always free products sent to you to review.
• You get noticed as a top affiliate.

Note however, that Products become irrelevant quickly in some industries.

Paid Directory Listings

This one  isn’t very common but I believe it should be because I see it as a smart way to sell advertising, you see instead of putting adverts on your sidebar, you have a directory on your blog where you link to different company’s and websites in your industry and charge a premium for the listing.

In some ways, this is actually beneficial to the reader, say you have a website about becoming a model, and in the directory could be a section for photographers, where photographers pay to list their services. Models will come and look for the right person to take pictures of them for their portfolio, helpful and profitable.

Benefits of paid directory listings

• It is highly profitable.
• It is Useful to readers.
• It makes you stand out as you’re doing something different.
• There is nearly guaranteed income.

Note that it Costs to setup and smaller sites may not work so well.

 Host Webinars

You can set up a free webinar that you replay once a week, teach something and then at the end you sell them into 4 more webinars. Once you complete the webinar series, you now have a product that you can sell as a home study course

Benefits Of Hosting Webinars

• They are Highly beneficial to those who buy.
• They are a Great way to teach.

You Can Sell Your Website

Selling your website can make you very wealthy, or it could be just a nice retirement fund. Whatever it is, it can be a great way to get a large lump sum of cash.

Typically, websites sell for 12 – 24 months revenue, however if your site is old, has something unique about it or is the authority in your industry then you can expect any figure you want. I have seen some blogs go for over 200 years revenue and it didn’t even make $100,000 a year.

Just Work hard and it will pay off.

Benefits Of Selling Your Site

• You get Large amount of cash.
• It Can be sold within a month.
• There is Enough money not to have to work for years.

Note that this a big loss of  an income stream

Offer A Membership Site

The idea here is simply, people coming to your website because they want to read your content. When They love it and want more, you offer them even better content, for a price.

You can release an affiliate program for your membership site. This not only will increase sales but will bring you even more traffic.

For billing, I recommend you use SamCart.

For your membership site, again you could use ThemeForest to find a good theme.

Benefits Of A Membership Site

• There is Continued income, inflow every month.
• There is a big earning possibility of up to $60,000 a month
• Affiliates send you traffic

Publish A Book

A lot of people don’t consider a book because you only get a couple dollars a book but that’s not just what you earn.

Publishing a book can allow you to then launch a product because people always want more; also a more exciting prospect is being paid to speak. If you are published, you’re automatically seen as an expect, it doesn’t matter if you never sell more than a dozen books, this means you can charge to speak and charge a lot more for consulting.

There’s so many different ways to go about publishing a book, most choose self publishing.

But if your site is successful, people will find you .Someone in your industry who blogs, will also have published a book, help them and they will help you.

Benefits Of Publishing A Book

·       Authority over the book

·       You can Increase your charge for consultation

·       You can get Paid to speak at events.

So , There You Are With What You Need To Make Money With A Site
