Method 13 of 100 - Earn Money by Creating a Website
How can you earn money creating a website?
It is important to create a website if you want to earn
consistently. This also gives you the opportunity to earn passive income.
However, you cannot earn any money just by creating a website. You need to
generate a lot of traffic to your website. That means, you should have at least
1000 visitors visiting your website every day. Sounds difficult? Actually it is
not difficult if you know the techniques to generate the traffic. I will give
you different ideas to generate the traffic later on this page. Now, what are
the different ways to earn money using the website traffic?
1) Earn through
affiliate marketing
Yes, affiliate marketing is marketing others' products or services
using different techniques like sending emails, using social media, websites,
and blogs. You, the affiliate, and the advertisers register with Affiliate
Marketing Networks. Affiliate marketing networks like CJ (Commission Junction)
act as the middleman. You get the banner and/or text link advertisements from
the Affiliate networks and place them on your website by just copying and
pasting a simple code. The advertisement displays on your web page. If a user
clicks the advertisement, he/she will be taken to the advertiser's products
page where the user can buy the product or service. You will get a commission
for referring the user to their product from the advertiser through the
middleman. If you have good website traffic, the probability of earning money
is more.
2) Earn through direct
advertising
Instead of going through the affiliate marketing companies, you
can directly have a dealing with the advertisers, which enables you to earn
more money than affiliate marketing. To achieve this, you should have thousands
of visitors visiting your website. You can allocate a separate placeholder for
advertisements on your webpage stating that the area is for advertising. You
can also directly contact the advertisers if you are aware of any advertisers
looking for placing ads on web pages. Sometimes, the advertisers may contact
you if you really have a huge traffic to your website.
3) Publish an ebook and
place a link on your website
You can also write an ebook and publish it on wbsites like Amazon
Kindle. Then place a link to the ebook on your website that has high traffic.
Attract your website visitors to follow the link and purchase the ebook. You
sell the book for just $1. If you are able to convert at least 1000 visitors to
buyers a month, you earn $1000/month. Keep publishing interesting and useful
books and earn money on a regular basis.
4) Resell your website
As your website gets popular, the cost and demand of your website
grows high. At some point you can even sell your website for huge money based
on your website's traffic. You can register with a lot of resellers available
in the market to sell your website and make a huge profit. To know more about
reselling your website or domain name, visit my page on Flipping Domain Names.
Tips
to Generate Website Traffic
There are different ways to generate traffic to your website. I
have mentioned a few here.
1) While creating a website make sure that you implement all the
SEO techniques in your website.
a) Add relevant keywords to all your pages.
b) Add a description for each of your web pages.
c) Create as many quality backlinks as possible. By saying quality
backlinks, I mean that many high ranking websites should have links pointing to
your web pages.
d) Create webpages with unique and useful content to visitors.
2) You can sign with Google Adwords to get the traffic initially.
Registering with Google Adwords paying a few dollars, Google displays ads for
your site on various websites. People visiting those websites may be routed to
your website clicking those links.
3) You can use social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin
to attract them to your website. I generated a good traffic from Linkedin.
Here, I reveal the technique I adapted to generate traffic from Linkedin. I
placed ads on a specific product on my web page. I became a member of the
Linkedin group that uses this product and placed a comment on that product.
Immediately, the next day, I found a lot of visitors to my website. A good
percentage of visitors also clicked the advertisement and bought the products,
which increased my earnings tremendously. But, you should make sure that you
become a member of the group that has millions of members.
4) Placing comments on websites and blogs that have a good traffic
is also a good idea to generate traffic to your website. I place comments on
big websites that have content related to my web pages and place my websites'
link along with the comment. Most of their visitors read my comment and click
the link to become my visitors.
5) Another way to generate traffic is that you can write and
publish articles in many popular websites like Squidoo and ezine. But, make
sure to add your website's link in those articles. As those websites have
millions of visitors already, a percentage of them may read your articles,
click the link that you provided and get directed to your website.
