In a previous article we talked about how to create your site, Today we talk about how to make money from this site
5) Where does the money come from?
There are various sources you can make money online from, but the catch is, you need to have sufficient traffic.
Affiliate Programs:
This is what drives many websites today. It works on a per sale basis. You are the agent marketing the product of another website. You will be given a code which you will use on your website – this will be in the form of an advertisement. If someone clicks on the advertisement from your website and makes a purchase, you will be rewarded with commission based on the sale.
Google Adsense:
The second most common trend among website owners is Google Adsense. This works in a similar fashion to Affiliate Programs but in this case you are paid on a per click basis rather than a per sale basis.
To make this easier to understand we'll need to dive into the backend of how this works. Google Adwords is a program that allows website owners to advertise their website among other websites. Google charges a sum of money on a PER CLICK basis. The more the clicks Google generates, the more traffic is generated. The revenue Google makes from Adwords is given to Adsense users after Google deducts its cut.
Selling Products:
A website is an excellent place to find new customers. With the internet taking a big leap into the future, pretty much every other thing you see is going online. Online shopping is probably one of the biggest thing it has to offer – this gives you an excellent opportunity to market your products if you're a producer or a retailer.
6) What is a Blog? Do I need one?
If you've used the internet for sometime then it is likely you may already know what blogs are and you will have a good idea why they are used – but let us still discuss this for the newer folks.
Blogs are a series of posts laid out in a chronological order and in a categorized form to deliver information to its audience on a regular basis.
This might sound like a handful but let me simplify it. Blogs are aimed at people who make regular updates to their websites in the form of content or news stories. Most modern blogs allow users to subscribe to a feed that gives them regular updates on the click (I'm sure some users may be familiar with RSS) and at the same time allow users to comment on posts.
So, do you need a blog? Well, there are two sides of the argument. Are you someone who regularly has something to say? Do you write content and news stories regularly? Then the answer is probably – YES.
However, is your Niche something stagnant? Something that doesn't change over time or quickly then maybe a blog isn't a good idea for you, probably because blogs don't play a good role in building static content.
Some popular blogs I like to look at are BLOGGER(.com) .
I've covered the basis in this topic that will probably answer much of the questions of a new comer. Once this has been done - you can now easily begin to search for a decent domain name and getting it registered. Good luck!
