How to Monetize a Website

1. Set up a Google Adsense account. After you have applied and been approved for an Adsense account, you can place ads on your website. When visitors click on your ads, you will earn revenue from Google (see Resources below).
2. Join an affiliate program with Commission Junction. Commission Junction has literally hundreds of companies that want affiliates to sell their products. All you have to do is place one of their banners on your website. If a visitor to your site clicks on the link and makes a purchase, you will get a commission (see Resources below).

3. Open a Paypal account. Paypal is an online payment processor where you can send and receive payments. This great tool will help you immensely whenever you'll need to pay or collect any money online (see Resources below).
4. Write an ebook and sell it on your site. An ebook is a digital product you read on your computer. If you are an expert or very knowledgeable about your hobby, you could write an ebook and sell it on your website through Paypal.
5. Create a Paypal donation button. If visitors come to your site and appreciate the information you are providing, they can click on the donation button and donate whatever amount of money they want (see Resources below).

How to Make Money Using a Blog Step

1. Fill your blog with posts about popular or 'hot' topics that draw in visitors. Use attention-grabbing headlines and openers to entice people to read your blog. Find popular topics on places like Google Trends or Yahoo Buzz. Write blog posts regularly to avoid being seen as 'dead' or irrelevant.
2. Register your website blog with an advertiser network such as Google AdSense or Yahoo Publisher Network. These networks give blog publishers the opportunity to make money through pay-per-click (PPC) advertising campaigns. Blocks of text ads get displayed on your site and, when visitors click these ads, you get paid a small commission averaging anywhere from a few cents to a few dollars per click.

3. Copy the code from the pay-per-click (PPC) advertiser network with whom you've signed up. Paste the code into the HTML portion of your blog to begin displaying text ads.
4. Choose a product from ClickBank or another affiliate marketplace such as PayDotCom or Commission Junction. Register with the site or affiliate author to obtain a hoplink--a special link to track purchases from customers who you have referred.
5. Write a post on your blog promoting the affiliate product or program. Make your blog post as compelling and helpful to the reader as possible to encourage people to buy the product. Include your affiliate hoplink within your blog post so that visitors can purchase when ready.
6. Offer banner advertising spaces on your blog website. Make sure that these spaces are in prominent places, such as near the top or sidebars of the pages, so that people will want to advertise on your site. Make money by setting your own rates for advertisers either on a CPM (cost per thousand impressions) or flat-rate basis per week or month.
7. Sell premium content to your blog visitors. Allow a 'teaser' portion of your blog to be read for free, but require a special paid membership that allows unlimited access to your entire blog posts and extra content like videos.
8. Sign up with an in-text advertising program like Kontera, LinkWorth or Vibrant Media. These ad networks place sponsored advertisement links which are hyperlinked to individual words within your blog posts. Get your publisher's code and paste it into the appropriate HTML portion of your blog to begin making money with in-text advertisements.
9. Register for an autoresponder service such as Aweber or GetResponse. Create an autoresponder opt-in box using the services tools. Paste the code for the opt-in box within your blog website. Collect visitors' names and email addresses with the autoresponder box to gather a marketing list.
10. Send autoresponder email messages to the people on your marketing list. Within the marketing message, write about and promote an affiliate product or your own product. Make sure to include a way to pay for the item you're selling so that you'll make money from sales.
