HOW TO MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR WEBSITE

Now that you've created a website, how do you
make money from it? There are at least two ways
in which sites can make money:

1. Advertising Revenue.
2.Selling Goods and Services I shall deal with the
second case, "Selling goods services", in another
article . In this article,I will address the issue of
how your site can actually make money from
advertising

Making Money from advertising if you look at
many websites, you will probably notice that
there are banner advertisement displayed on
most pages.

If you are anew comer to the scene, you might
think that you must either be a company or that
your site must be famous before you can get
advertisers, just as it is the case in hardcopy
publications.

In reality, anyone with a website can get
advertisers,While it is true that if your site is
well-known, you may get companies contacting
you to offer to advertise on your site, you can get
advert i singrevenu even if you are just starting
out and your site is relatively unknown.
The way to do this is to join as an "affiliate" of
various sites,either directly, or through Anabelle
ate network.

An affiliate network is simply an intermediary
where you can select from a variety of
advertisers.

Payment Schemes Before joining any program,
you should probably be aware of the different
payment schemes available.

1. Pay Per Impression (CPM)Here, you are paid
according to the number of times the advertiser's
banner is displayed on your site.
The amount you earn is typically calculated
based on the number of thousand impressions of
the banner (impressions = number of times the
banner is displayed), of ten abbreviated CPM
(cost per thousand, with the M being the Latin
numeral for thousand).

That is, $5 CPM means that you get paid$5 for
1,000displays of the banner.

In general, the amount paid is usually small, but
it is easy to earn since every time a visitor loads
the page, you earn. This is known as a "high con
version rate".
Needless to say, this method will allow you to
automatically earn more if your site attracts a lot
of visitors.

2. Pay Per Click (PPC) When you are paid per
click,you are only paid when visitors click the
advertiser's banner on your site.
Theamount paid is usually higherthan the pay per
impression scheme.
Whether you get ahigh conversion rate here
depends on the banner (whether it attracts
people to click it), although in general, it has a
higher conversion rate than the pay per sale
method.

A high traffic site will probably enjoy a higher
click rate than a lower traffic site, although you
will probably get better results if your banners
are carefully selected to suitthe target audience
of your site.

3. Pay Per Sale or Lead (sometimes referred to
as Cost Per Action, or CPA) While you will
probably getthe highest payment rates with this
method, it has the lowest conversion rate of the
three schemes. You will only earn if your visitors
click through the banner and either purchase an
item from the advertiser or take some other
prescribedaction (eg, sign up for aservice).

Like the Pay Per Click method, you get much
better results if you carefully select your
advertisers to suit the target audience of your
site.

In general, to avoid wastingresources in issuing
chequesfor very small amounts,advertisers will
usually accrue the amountowing to you until it
reaches a certain level(such as $25) before they
pay you
.
