5. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a model of business in which an advertiser (merchant) pays a publisher (affiliate) a commission for recommending a product to a visitor. When the client buys, the affiliate will be paid a percentage of the selling price of the product. The commission might be anywhere from 30% of the product or service price, up to as high as 70%. For example, if a company is to pay 50% for an e-book that costs $100. If you promote it and get a buyer, you’ll get $50 for simply referring the buyer.
Examples of a successful affiliate sites: Amazon, Payoneer.com, shortest.
This is one of the most popular (not to mention quickest) ways to make money from your website or blog.
You may ask where to find products to promote?
Start by finding a product you like and would recommend. Then on your website, you endorse the product and promote it to your website visitors and email subscribers. If the product or service resonates with these people, they will click on your affiliate linkpurchase the product and you will earn commission.
  • Commission junction – offers reliable products with on-time payments.
  • ShareASale – mostly clothes, accessories, and other offline goods.
  • Clickbank – high percentage payouts, but there’s a lack of GOOD products to promote.

 6. Accept sponsored posts & articles

Publish articles written about a company or the company product and the company will pay you. But the post should be related to contents of your site but ensure you use “nofollow” tag.
Many companies go out of their way to look for blogs that will feature their sponsored content. ‘Native advertising‘ like this works well because it still lines up with your site’s primary content.
You can also review the products from a company in an ‘advertorial’ that is part content, part advertisement. For example, if your website is all about the latest iOS games for iPhones and iPads, the creator of one of those ads would LOVE to have you review and feature their app to your fans.
When done right, this can create a win/win scenario. However, if done poorly with irrelevant or inauthentic site content, and it can erode all of the reader’s goodwill you’ve worked so hard to create in the first place.

7. Generate ‘leads’ for other companies

Businesses thrive off new leads coming in their door to inquire about their products or services.
It’s no surprise then that they are always on the lookout, searching for creative ways to find new sources of leads to help them grow.
Let’s say you have a website about teaching how to play musical instruments. Your reader’s information (like their email address or phone number) would be of great value to different online schools who are looking to sell their courses to eager, proactive students.
Basically, you are connecting the dots; playing the matchmaker by introducing two parties who can benefit one another. While it’s similar to how affiliate marketing works, in this case it doesn’t actually matter if your reader ends up purchasing their product or not. They are just looking for an introduction at this point.
Where can I find such offers?

8. Build an ‘Email List’

This refers to your email list, which comprises your most loyal readers. The objective is to convert as many strangers who visit your site for the first time into passionate followers who want to stay up-to-date on your latest work or content.
Admittedly this is a long term strategy (and you definitely won’t get rich overnight). But it’s one of the best, long-term methods to profitably growing your blog into a full-fledged, money making enterprise.
Never lose sight of the importance in creating relationships with your followers, however. Offering great information or free help is a perfect way to start. Spamming people with unsolicited offers is one of the fastest ways to abuse reader’s trust and sabotage your long-term goals.
How exactly does it work?

9. Flip Your Websites (Create -> Sell -> Reinvest)

Believe it or not, there’s almost always a market out there for your website.
That means if you’ve built up a following (or possibly even sold a few products or included advertising on your site), you might be able to sell it to someone else and make a quick money.
But you can’t deny how lucrative it can be. For example, if your website is making $500 per/month through selling ad space, you might be able to sell the site for $5,000 – $10,000 (which is about 12x – 22x monthly income).
Another interesting option is to sell ready-made sites, These are MUCH cheaper, but there are still some money to be made.
Where can I sell my site?


10. Use content lockers  

Content locking’ is similar to hiding or protecting pieces of content until a visitor takes some action to redeem it. For example, maybe you may want your visitors to share the article (on facebook, twitter, etc.), pay a small amount, or perhaps click on an advertisement before having accessing to the main content.

If you ask the average visitors you have to pay an amount before having access to the content, they may not. So you can ask them to share the article so as to get more visitors and hence making money from your Cost-Per-Impression (CPM) or you ask them to click on an ad before having access. You as well make money from this concept.
