If you have a website or blog that has a lot of solid theme content, you can make excellent money when you get a lot of traffic. Traffic means everything on the Internet. The more exposure your site gets, the more traffic you will have. This can equate to money even when your site is not selling anything at all. Good content + solid traffic = good money.
Your website should be worth at least $5.00 for every thousand unique visitors. This would equate to a website that receives 100,000 visitors a month, earning around $500.00.
This is not some fly-by-night marketing campaign where all of your visitors end up hating your site; neither will you have to appeal to them to purchase anything. This system is being used and has been used by thousands of website owners all over the Internet. It is not a spam or hype set up and has been working for years to create incomes for many site owners that are not in a business to sell or market anything at all.
You make this kind of money by monetizing your site using specific advertisements on your site. You need the specific combination of ads in order to make the most money without your site being annoying to your visitors.
1. The first thing you should do is join Google AdSense and create an account for free with them. Google is one of the most respected names on the Internet. Their AdSense program helps to put millions of dollars into website owners' pockets every single day. More than likely, you would have seen AdSense ads without even knowing what they were exactly.
Once you have signed up with AdSense, their ads should not be hidden somewhere at the side or down below your page where no one can see them. This is because these adverts are going to make money for you. These adverts ought to be embedded into your text content. This is the key to getting good hits with these ads from your visitors.
2. The second most important strategy to your campaign is that of getting a Widgetbucks ad account set up. Once you have an account with them, place their ad either at the top or bottom of your site. If the Widgetbucks' ad is that of a skyscraper variety, then place the ad on the side of your site.
3. A third way to monetize your internet web site traffic is by putting Kontera onto your page. Again, you might have seen Kontera at work but never knew what it is all about. Kontera deals with content-links. They are contextual and relevant ads that are linked to certain keywords on the web publisher's web page. This is one of the best forms of online advertising that never gets in the readers' way of the content that they are reading.
These three approaches have worked like a charm for many. When you use them to monetize your Internet's website traffic, you will not lose any traffic because nothing has really changed on your site. The only real dramatic change is that you are now making good money! As mentioned, this system truly allows your site to make money for you where it was not able to do so before.
1. Start a newsletter that people can subscribe to, and use an autoresponder service like GetResponse (www.getresponse.com) or Aweber (www.aweber.com) to capture and store your subscribers' contact information.
2. Use the double-opt rather than single opt-in method to capture qualified targeted leads. Why? Because double opt-in requires new subscribers to confirm their subscription (yes, I want what you have to offer) and reduces the chances of a bounced email.
3. Refer people to your web page that offers them a freebie (free report, ebook, etc.), capture their name, email address & phone number (optional) and then take them to your home page while behind the scenes your autoresponder provides a series of follow-up emails to them automatically, re-introducing yourself and your business offer. Studies show that most people need to see your offer at least 7 times before they make a decision to purchase.
4. Include a headline & outline the features/benefits of the product or service you are offering on your web site. Make it easy for your audience to understand what they will gain by buying from you.
5. Include written testimonials from people who have used your product or service on your web site. Include audio testimonials that prospects can listen to and you will really capture their attention.
6. Let your "personality" come across in your newsletters. Allow your subscribers to know who you are and what you are about. Keep it real and be honest with them. By establishing trust and credibility with your prospects, you will greatly increase the return on your investment in time and money.
7. Be sure to include plenty of informational articles on your web site that focus on educating your visitors. Add or replace older articles with new ones on your web site each month. Keep you web site content fresh and exciting to your viewing audience. The more content you have the better. Search engines tend to rank sites higher that have a good deal of content and good content keeps your visitors or prospects coming back for more.
8. Write an informational article about a topic related to your business and post it on your web site. Include an "About The Author" resource box at the bottom of the article that includes your name, company, telephone number, address, web site link and your permission to re-print and use your article on their web site or e-zine as long as your resource box remains intact. Submit your article to web sites like http://www.ezinearticles.com and watch your web site traffic increase substantially.
9. Include a "Refer a Friend" section on your web site and add a hyperlink to this in your newsletter. This gives your visitors and subscribers and opportunity to share your URL with others. Most autoresponder packages make it easy to do this.
10. Start your own affiliate program using an affiliate management solution like AssocTRAC (www.assoctrac.com). Promote your new affiliate program on your web site or newsletter. Watch as you recruit a global sales force eagerly willing to promote what you have to offer. They send you a paying customer and you cut them a commission check. It's as simple as that.
