How do you make money with your website? No doubt you’ve heard people say that it’s easy to make money from your website. Everyone knows someone who says they’ve done it, and of course we know internet marketing gurus who make a living off their website.
But how do you do it? What if you don’t have a wide range of products and an eCommerce site to boot? What can you do? Well, I am going to give you some examples that are used by the best gurus and internet marketers.
First we must understand the concept of how to make money with your website. You can’t just drive people to your website if there’s nothing they can buy or invest in. Also have a lot of luxury products; It doesn’t matter how good they are, but having no visitors or traffic to your site will not yield good results.
To make money from your website, you need assets, content, and traffic. What is the content? The content is the copy on your pages, your images, videos, MP3s, anything that might be of interest to a potential customer. While it’s not as simple as putting up a product and a buy it now button, you have to give the viewer something.
If you are selling a product, you need to explain to the customer what it does and how it will help them. The best way to do this is to write reviews, case studies, comparisons, or produce video or audio presentations or tutorials to educate people about the product. People like to buy from people, if they can see your face or hear your voice, you instantly seem more believable and the customer is more likely to buy from you.
Ok, I mentioned the word product in the last few paragraphs, I know you don’t necessarily have your own product. Don’t worry, you don’t need one. Yes, that’s right, you don’t need your own product. Because! Drum roll please… You can sell someone else’s product like that, you can sell someone else’s product and they’ll gladly pay you to do just that.
Welcome to the world of affiliate marketing, the first way I will show you how to make money from your website. The premise is simple, you advertise an affiliate product on your website and when a visitor to your website clicks on your affiliate link, the seller knows where the sale is coming from and will give you the commission.
The commission amount varies from product to product, but tends to be between 50% and 60% of the sales price. You can get paid in a number of ways such as online payment or a good old fashioned check.
In my next tutorial, I’ll explain how to choose the best affiliate products to sell.
