Have you been posting so much to your loyal followers that you forgot you can make money from these activities — in a way that feels subtle and right to you? One of the best ways to do that is by monetizing<\/em><\/strong> your website. The good news is, you don’t have to be an expert in business or marketing to get your website off the ground and make some good money, even while you sleep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we get into the meat of HOW to monetize, be sure you have a good grip on the following. Having the following items set up BEFORE you start monetizing your website will bring you greater success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Money Ready Website Checklist<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Have an optimized website<\/li>
  2. Add value-added content to your website<\/li>
  3. Research and analyze the right SEO to attract the right visitors and traffic<\/li>
  4. Don\u2019t forget about promoting your website on social media (yes, it still works)<\/li>
  5. Build and grow a robust email list<\/li>
  6. Get some faithful followers and readers of your content<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    With that housekeeping out of the way, let’s jump in to the how of this conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 7 ways to MONETIZE your WEBSITE:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    #1 PPC ads or sell ad space on your website<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This method, or model, is where you display banners or textual ads on your website. Anytime a visitor clicks on these ads, you get a very tiny amount of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you have a lot of traffic and a lot of clicks, this can add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Two outlets that come to mind are Google Adsense and EZOIC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The two programs above (Google AdSense and Ezoic) approve new sites with limited traffic. There are others who require at least 100,000 page views\/month before they will bother with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now I know what you are thinking. Like many other people, you probably feel having ads on your website are too distracting and that a website needs to have a very large amount of traffic before it can earn a decent amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I personally discourage this type of model if you are running a business that is reflected on your website. For example, if you have a services page, selling digital products or are an ecommerce site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This model is perfect though if you are a blogger. One of Mark’s best friends used to make $100 a month in 2007 using this mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, at Mark of Approval Web & Marketing, we serve primarily coaches with highly creative websites. And as such, we encourage any existing \\”ad space\\” to be utilized using either promoting the website owners products or their strategic partner’s affiliate programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And that is up next!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    #2 Affiliate Marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Affiliate marketing is where you earn a commission by putting a link to someone else’s product on your website. There are many systems out there to track these links. The special links will be provided to you by your affiliate partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just be transparent and disclose that you will make a commission if someone clicks your affiliate link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We personally use WordPress to track the links by creating a url that looks like it is part of our website. If you need help setting up a tracking system, just reach out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unlike PPC, the affiliate only cashes out if your click results in a sale. But if they have a nice converting offer, it can be a lucrative pay day for every customer who buys their product from your link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Only promote those goods and services that you have used and believe in if you want to maintain your reputation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One good tip is to put affiliate banners for tools you use on your blog post. Your followers will likely check them out because of their trust in you. Your competitors too because they are trying to do their competitive research – why not cash in on their research? \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    #3 Sell a product or service<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A lot of entrepreneurs get their start online by working as a freelancer. They offer up their skills as services online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In turn, they gain in the field marketing experience experience as they navigate the realm of digital marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some common service based disciplines include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
