Different Methods to Earn Income From Your Website

There are three primary ways to make money with your own website: * Sell your own products or services * Sell someone else's products or services * Advertise on your website

Promote Your own Products or services: This can be done by something as easy as creating a web site which discusses the services or products in order to encourage customers to purchase, or, alternatively, by some thing as highly skilled as building a full-blown web store which has a shopping cart, credit card payments, and so on. This is often the easiest way to be able to make the maximum revenue per sale, as you are eliminating the middleman. Almost all website hosting companies currently provide you with excellent site builders to help you produce sites easily and quickly, in addition to very good shopping cart software programs to help you develop an online shop. You're only limited by your imagination in this regard.

Sell Someone Else's Products or Services: there are thousands of companies that are more than happy to pay you a commission for selling their products or services on your web site. These are called "affiliate programs", in which you become an "affiliate" by partnering with a company to sell their products. Basically, you build a website around the product or service that you want to promote, drive traffic to the web site, and hope that your sales pitch convinces people to click on a link and purchase the product. For each sale, you receive a commission that can be as low as 5% or as high as 75% of the purchase price. There are many people making excellent incomes doing this.

Advertise on Your Website: Google offers the most well-known advertising commission program. It's called AdSense. Basically, it works like this. You sign up for an account and Google then gives you some code to place on your site. What this code does is present advertisements that are related to the topic of your website. If someone clicks on that ad, you get a small commission, whether or not they actually buy anything. This commission can be anywhere from a few cents per click to several dollars per click, based on how much that advertiser is paying Google to place their ads. There are many people making thousands of dollars per month by creating websites that are very informative on a particular topic and driving lots of traffic to that website. The more traffic, the more people click on the Google ads, and the more money that web site owner makes. It's really as simple as that. Of course, obtaining massive amounts of traffic is another story.

Earning With Google AdSense

AdSense operation which is a hundred percent Google owned service is a program in which Google place ads on your website or blog and pay you when visitors click the ads link on your site or blog. You see, publishers or advertisers create an advert and advertise with Google. Now Google (though a mighty network) do do not have all the information a visitor needs, and that in simple plain English means that Google do not own all the internet traffic (people who visit websites in search of information.)

Google therefore wanting a bit of your traffic advertise on your site and in return pay you when customers clicks on or purchase your product. Google however decides what content or ads are placed on your site or blog, its design, how prices are fixed and the initial color. Having an understanding of how Google does this will put you in a comfortable position to manipulate AdSense in a way that generates increase revenue for you.

Google allows publishers to decide on how much they intend to pa for their advert and how much to pay per click of that advert.

Finally, you need to understand that Google decides on the type of ads to place on your site or blog depending on your page content and Google gives you ads that can earn you a few cents per click and sometimes some few dollars

How do I sign up with Google?

Google claims to give you ads they think will give you the highest revenue based on your content of course. Though like I said earlier you can influence the choice of ads you get on your page both in terms of color and price.

Signing up for Google is quite easy whether you are a site owner or you own a blog. If you have a blog (you need a Gmail account) providing you are using blogger.com, from your dashboard should monetize and click on the AdSense tab. Just follow the steps to register and you are on your way to start earning money.

The first step will be to choose the type of account you want; Individual (cheque will be written in your name) or company (check will be written in your company name). You also choose how you want to receive your check; through EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer) Local currency Cheque or Secured mail. I recommend getting your mail by mail. It's better to get your mail by direct deposit especially if you are in the U.S, for those outside the state you could use any other means. If you decide to use secured mail, bear in mind that you will bear the cost.

Next step, enter your site URL. If you are signing up through your blog, your blog name appears here (don't even think of entering two URL) you can only use one at least during signing up.

Choose the type of ads you want you want and then sign up. Google then ask you to wait for 48 hours for your registration (though in my own blog was just five minutes.
