Monetize Your
Website The way you make money is two-fold. In some instances, you will make money by clicks made by your site visitors. In other instances, you will make a varied rate of commissions on sales made after a customer has clicked through a banner on your site. With Google Ads (Google AdSense), the program is quite rigid, but there are many different ways to customize your links. Be warned, though... any clicks you make on your own site, or if you tell someone to come to your site just to click links, Google will flag your account. As long as you are honest and use the Adsense program the way it was designed, you will make money! Other affiliate marking houses allow their affiliates to make purchases through their own links and benefit from it! For example, you shop through Company X's website and decide to become their affiliate. You place their banner on your website with appropriate account linking information (provided through the affiliate marketing house). You then click the banner, arrive at their site, and make a purchase. That purchase can earn you affiliate marketing dollars that are then returned to you! You can get anywhere between 3% to 10% of each sale, or a flat referral fee! Does affiliate marketing work? Well, it really depends on your website, traffic, and how your affiliates relate to your customers. If you do it right, it will pay off. Plus, there are so many resources out there for affiliate marketing, and even for Google Adsense. If you do your homework and you follow the advice of experts, you'll see a profit! Amazon is another big name on the internet with a program that allows you to profit by sales made through you designated links. The possibilities for income are endless with an Amazon affiliation. There are extensive resources and countless ways Amazon affiliates can succeed! Unlike other affiliate programs, Amazon does not allow you to profit through your own purchases. There are also countless individual and free affiliate programs with other small business owners. If you want to make a business out of your affiliate marketing, these are the programs you should sink a lot of time into. However, if you sell soaps, etc. on your website, you aren't going to want to advertise your competition. However, if you sell food, there is no harm in advertising a great bath and body shop through your website.
