The 20 Ways


20 Ways to Make Money With Your Website


Gold Line

Affiliate Marketing

This is how I earn a living online. Affiliate marketing is the process of referring products or services from your website and earning a commission for every sale made.

Become a Reseller

A reseller is a lot like an affiliate except you have more control over your profits. Typically you buy the product at wholesale, set your own prices and earn on the markup. I resell Money Blueprint Package and earn a nice residual income.
Look for reseller programs in your niche by Googling [your niche] + reseller programs.

Sell eGoods (Templates, eBooks, Software, Reports, etc.)

The key to building longevity online is to have your own product to sell. Digital products are convenient because the cost of production and delivery is very favorable.
I use Adobe Acrobat Professional to create my eBooks. Download this free eBook that I created by converting a word  document into a secure PDF.

Looking for a vendor to sell your eProduct? Try Clickbank or eJunkie. I use Clickbank as my vendor to sell my Easy Starter CSS templates and WordPress tutorial.

Sell Hard Goods

Hard goods are tangible goods that you can touch (crafts, jewelry, clothing, etc.) WordPress has plugins you can use like WP e-Commerce, for example. If you have a static site like this one, most hosting companies have shopping cart solutions you can install. You can also use PayPal.

Google AdSense

AdSense is a contextual CPC (cost per click) network allows you to partner up with Google and display their advertiser's text and/or image ads on your website. When a visitor clicks your ads, you earn revenue.
Learn more about AdSense here.

AdBrite

AdBrite is another CPC network very similar to AdSense, but their CPC is not as high. In fact, none of the other CPC networks pay as much as AdSense, but they can help supplement your AdSense income or provide an alternative if you are not able to get into the AdSense program.
In addition to the CPC and CPM (cost per thousand/impression) ads, you can serve up in-line, video and even full-page ads.

Chitika

Chitika is another CPC network with a variety of ad types. One unique feature of Chitika is the ads only show up when people find your site via internal or external search.
Let's say someone finds one of your pages by searching for "blue hats" in Google. They will see Chitika ads related to blue hats. If another visitor just surfs on that same page by clicking through your site, they won't see any Chitika ads.
I tried Chitika on this site and the conversions were poor. This network seems to be best for shopping sites due to the kinds of ads in their database. Not many ads were relevant to my content.

Clicksor

Clicksor is another contextual CPC program that is known to be less strict when it comes to getting accepted. If you qualify, you can become a Premium Site Partner which will provide more revenue options and reports.

Bidvertiser

This CPC program allows other advertisers to bid on your site and the highest bidder gets the display. Bidvertiser is known for paying a higher CPC, but it seems to work best with sites in categories specified by Bidvertiser.

Kontera

Kontera displays intext ads on your website. In other words, their program automatically hyperlinks certain keywords within your text and links them to related ads.
I'm not a fan of this CPC program. In my opinion, the ads look very intrusive. Nevertheless, they've been around awhile and are worth the mention here.

CPM Networks

Unlike CPC (cost per click), CPM (cost per thousand) networks pay you per impression. Most networks require you to have a good amount of traffic to qualify. Nevertheless, they're worth checking into. Burst Media, Value Click and Advetising.com are 3 popular networks.

RSS Feed Ads

If your blog has a high RSS feed readership, you may be able to generate some cash displaying ads inside your RSS (XML) feed. Feedburner, Bidvertiser and Pheedo all have these services.

Sell Custom Merchandise

Sites like CafePress and Zazzle allow you to sell your own designs on various merchandise (T-shirts, mugs, hats, etc.) You can incorporate widgets and links to your products within your website to help generate additional sales.
If you're a skilled graphic designer, you can really drum up some business with this method. The key is to create the designs to match the theme of your site.
I use Zazzle. Learn more about them here.

Sell Ad Space

Once you have at least several hundred visitors per day to your site, you can start thinking about selling ad space. If you're a WordPress blogger Kamoona (free) and OIO Publisher are two popular plugins.

I used OIO Publisher on my WordPress blog. It worked well, but I didn't like that you couldn't sell ads by impression. You could only sell by number of days. Hopefully they'll ad this feature because it's a great plugin otherwise.

For static website owners, you can use OIO, OpenX (free) or AdPeeps. I use AdPeeps to sell ad space on this site and I absolutely love the script.

Yes, it's pricey at $99, but it's so flexible. I can sell ads by day, clicks, impressions or the month. There's even an advertiser self-service option where you can give your customer the option of choosing how many days, clicks, impressions, etc. they want to buy upfront.
There are also coupon code and location targeting modules you can buy as add-ons.

Sponsored Reviews (Create a Review Site)

Sites like PayPerPost and Sponsored Reviews allow advertisers to pay bloggers to write sponsored posts on their own blogs. While this can be a great way to earn money blogging, you can lose credibility if you're not ethical about it.
It's important to disclose that you are getting paid to write the post so your audience is clear about what is going on. Fortunately most companies makes disclosure mandatory.
If you don't want to use a service like the ones above, you can setup your own internal program very easily. Just create and publish your guidelines then accept payments via PayPal.
Of course, this service works best on niche blogs that have enough targeted traffic to support it.

Donations

I'm not a huge fan of this method unless the site provides unparalled advice/services for free. Obviously charity sites are the exception, but I absolutely hate seeing donation buttons on sites laced with affiliate links and Google ads.
I have donated to sites before, but they are usually sites that offer something very valuable like a useful WordPress plugin or some kind of free service that you can't just find anywhere.
Nevertheless, if you decide to accept donations, PayPal is the most universal way of doing it.

Paid Membership Sites

Thanks to CMS platforms like Joomla and Drupal (which you can install for free when you buy almost any regular hosting package), setting up a membership site is fairly easy (comparatively) these days.

Pay Per Click Marketing (PPC)

This is the process of paying for traffic with networks like AdWords or Microsoft AdCenter with the hopes of converting that traffic into sales.
Say you are selling iPhone cases and you want your site to be ranked in Google's Sponsored Listings when someone searches for "iPhone cases." You would bid on a ranking with other advertisers, and your final rank depends on the overall quality/relevancy of your site and your maximum bid.
This is a great way to make a lot of money selling your own products and through affiliate marketing, but there is a LOT of trial and error involved here. Most successful PPCers lose a lot of money before they make a profit.

Paid Surveys/Polls

Vizu Answers will pay you to host surveys and polls on your site. You can also use them to setup free polls on your site for free.
I don't know of anyone who uses this service, but their site is not very easy to navigate.

Job Boards

Companies will pay you to publicize job listings on your website. The key, of course, is to promote jobs related to your niche. So this may work better on some sites than others.
See JobThread and Jobbex for more info.

Quick Note About Traffic

It's important to note that in order for any of these options to work, you need good amounts of targeted traffic. Do not confuse targeted traffic with Facebook friends and family who may provide you with a few courtesy visits.
Targeted traffic consists of people who literally seek out information on your site (via Google, Twitter, etc.). These people are much more likely to convert and become long time visitors.

 3 Methods To Make Money With AlertPay Account

 If you have an Alertpay account, you should know that it allows you to receive money online and in seconds. If you don't have an AlertPay Account yet, you can easily get one here now if you CLICK HERE

Now, you can also make money with an Alertpay account and I mean earning money and not just receiving money from families or friends.

Alertpay allows users to send and receive money on the internet within her network. But how do you make money if you already have an Alertypa account?

Well there are 3 methods I want to share on how you can make money with an Alertpay account:

1. Referrals
2. Sell online
3. Donations


1. Referrals
This basically involves signing up with Alertpay and earning money from their affiliate program such that you would earn a commission for other clients or signups you bring to Alertpay.

Once you are logged in to your Alertpay account, you are automatically an affiliate and you should just go to the earn money "button" to get your affiliate link and codes.

How the program works is this: You use your affiliate link on your website or email and use it to invite people to the Alertpay network and Alertpay will start crediting you  if they meet the conditions. Having a website or bunch of published articles that talks about Alertpay services is a good platform for using your affiliate links.

If you are also selling stuff online, and your customers pay you through Alertpay gateway , can even earn more. Even if you don't have a website, you can also make use of articles or email to friends and connections and invite them to use Alertpay.

2. Sell Online
This is practically the quickest and more effective way to make money with your Alertpay account. What this requires is that you have something that you sell online and then let people pay you with Alertpay.

I have seen successful people using this method to normally sell downloadable or virtual products, subscriptions and so on, which they deliver online to buyers. Alertpay's selling platform allows buyers to pay you with their Alertpay funds, Visa and Mastercards and other credit cards to pay you and Alertpay fees are okay for merchants. They also offer Instant Payment Notifications that can allow your website to deliver items immediately after a successful online payment from your buyers

3. Donations
This is probably the easy way out in making money with Alertpay. You just have to Google about Cyber begging or online charity donations and you would see a lot of websites and stories of how they make their money.

A site like Wikipedia was able to make millions of dollars within a few months of launching its online donation campaign. The good thing about internet donations is that it makes the buyer or giver feel good about giving.

If you are going to use this method to make money with Alertpay, you should know that they now offer customized donation buttons that allow people or your website visitors to donate any amount of money to you for your project. You should avoid using this for fraudulent donation campaigns as it may lead to bad customer feedback or even freeze your Alertpay account.

If you are going to get people donate to your website, then you should try to be transparent and let them see good reason to do so and they might just do so freely and willingly. There is a guy in Kenya who has been successful with Alertpay donations on his website. So you could use donation buttons from Alertpay for funding charitable activities.

You, Too, Can Be Part Of The Online Success Story


I Have Failed Several Times Just Like You

My name is Matthias Ajose, an infopreneur. By that, I mean an entrepreneur selling information online and getting paid handsomely for doing just that. Pure and simple!

I used to work very hard... Really hard like millions of other online wealth seekers, but hardly getting any meaningful result. 

For years I worked my butt off, buying and trying every ridiculous online money making and success system on the internet, hoping to succeed one day.

I've been struggling with Affiliate Marketing, just like you. I blog but only earn a measley $1 per day from Google Adsense. I've been submitting to article directories and spending countless hours on SEO. I've been losing money to gurus on FOREX trading and on all kinds of ridiculous money making eBooks. 

I've been battling with Paid-to-Read Mail and all my efforts to make money online have proved abortive. I've also tried my hands on so many other programmes people have promised me heaven on earth, but have all failed me and I lose my money on many instances. 

Just to say a little and save your precious time.

This Online Money Blue-Print System
changed my financial status

Having been through all these I knew I had been going into the wrong places and falling prey to the wrong hands. I also know there is so much money flowing on the Internet and that whenever I get it right, I shall recover all my losses. I kept hope and faith alive. 

So I needed to do something quick before I become homeless and completely sunk in debt.

As destiny would have it, I received a Newsletter mail from an Internet Marketer, Joe Okoro,  telling me that I can be earning at least N950 every blessed day, if I can  enroll in Efe Imiren's Money Blue-print. It is an automated daily cash machine designed to put a minimum of N950 into your Bank Account every day, as long as you can wake up!

In my entire life onllne, I was yet to see or hear about such online job opportunity back then. So he explained it to me. And at first, I was skeptical because I didn't want to make any sudden move that will tie me into another job that I will hate.

Then, I later summoned courage and visited the website of this leading, lady information Consultant and Guru.

Guess What?

I made fabulous discoveries! I discovered that you can be helped to do it yourself!  She  has put a system in place to help you do most of the job!!  

It is a genuine and legitimate opportunity to make cool money online by doing Simple Information Trading Online.  

So within three months I had an easy work at home job, where I work 1-4 hours a day, making me DOUBLE (of all the money I have lost) plus I no longer have a boss, I worked as a little or as much as I wanted, I have all the freedom I need, and I watched my life completely turn around.

I finally embraced success in my work as a Marketer, using online as a tool. And now I've come to a place in my life where I truly want to see and help other people achieve the same success I have achieved in working online.

Do you know what I did precisely that brought me such online success? Should I tell you? Just read on I will tell in a minute.

You Can Be Part Of This Online Success Story

It's incredibly rewarding to help a person (like you) who's experiencing the same frustration I did sometimes ago, and personally show you the path to true personal and online financial success.

Since my N950 Per Day discovery, I have no financial worries anymore and, I feel so secure, free and happy... It is the ultimate high in the world, a feeling hard to explain.

My life turned around so fast... That I've started sharing my story with others. And since then, I have helped thousands of other people achieve their financial dreams and goals working at home. And I want to help you, too.

If you try out this online money making opportunity by starting here NOW, I can assure you that your story will change for the better right from this moment as you read this.

I should know all these because dozens of my friends are already using my time-tested strategies, revealed in my work from home eBook to make more money than I even believed was possible and I created the program they’re using... so that’s why I’m such a firm believer!

I can bet that you are a very intelligent person to have stayed glued to this page and have read it up to this point.

And right here, right now, I am going to tell you everything you need to know about making the money of your dreams from home, starting today! I'm going to tell you about the best opportunity I have ever discovered... A legitimate, proven, and easy work at home job opportunity that can make your financial dreams come true, as it did for me and has done for thousands of other people worldwide!
