There are several lists with “ways to make money with a website” on the Internet, but none of them seem to be complete. That is why I decided to create this one. If you know a method that is not listed below, just let us know and we’ll update it.



Notice that ways to make money with a website are different from ways to make more money from it. Methods to increase your traffic or click-through rate will help you make more money, but they do not represent a method of making money per se.

For example, one could suggest that blending AdSense ads with the content is a way to make money from a website. In reality it’s not; it’s just a way to make more money by improving your ad click-through rate. The real monetization method behind it is a PPC ad network.

The list is divided into direct and indirect methods, and examples and links are provided for each point. Enjoy!

Direct Methods1. PPC Advertising Networks

Google AdSense is the most popular option under this category, but there are also others. Basically you need to sign up with the network and paste some code snippets on your website. The network will then serve contextual ads (either text or images) relevant to your website, and you will earn a certain amount of money for every click.

The profitability of PPC advertising depends on the general traffic levels of the website and, most importantly, on the click-through rate (CTR) and cost per click (CPC). The CTR depends on the design of the website. Ads placed abode the fold or blended with content, for instance, tend to get higher CTRs. The CPC, on the other hand, depends on the nice of the website. Mortgages, financial products and college education are examples of profitable niches (clicks worth a couple of dollars are not rare), while tech-related topics tend to receive a smaller CPC (sometimes as low as a couple of cents per click).

The source of the traffic can also affect the overall CTR rate. Organic traffic (the one that comes from search engines) tends to perform well because these visitors were already looking for something, and they tend to click on ads more often. Social media traffic, on the other hand, presents terribly low CTRs because these visitors are tech-savvy and they just ignore ads.

List of popular CPC advertising networks:

• Google Adsense
• Yahoo! Publisher Network (YPN)
• BidVertiser
• Chitika
• Clicksor

2. CPM Advertising Networks

CPM advertising networks behave pretty much as PPC networks, except that you get paid according to the number of impressions (i.e., page views) that the ads displayed on your site will generate. CPM stands for Cost per Mille, and it refers to the cost for 1,000 impressions.

A blog that generates 100,000 page views monthly displaying an advertising banner with a $1 CPM, therefore, will earn $100 monthly.

CPM rates vary with the network, the position of the ad and the format. The better the network, the higher the CPM rate (because they have access to more advertisers). The closer you put the ad to the top of the page, the higher the CPM. The bigger the format (in terms of pixels), the higher the CPM.

You can get as low as $0,10 and as high as $10 per 1,000 impressions (more in some special cases). CPM advertising tends to work well on websites with a high page views per visitor ratio (e.g., online forums, magazines and so on).

List of popular CPM advertising networks:

• Casale Media
• Burst Media
• Value Click
• Advertising.com
• Tribal Fusion
• Right Media

3. Direct Banner Advertising

Selling your own advertising space is one of the most lucrative monetization methods. First and foremost because it enables you to cut out the middleman commissions and to determine your own rates. The most popular banner formats on the web are the 728×90 leaderboard, the 120×600 skyscraper, the 300×250 rectangle and the 125×125 button.

The downside of direct banner advertising is that you need to have a big audience to get qualified advertisers, and you will need to spend time managing the sales process, the banners and the payments.

How can i make money fast online is a question ask by many.Follow this step by step guide on how you can use the Internet to make money fast.

Making money on the Internet fast is quite possible. Becoming rich off the Internet overnight is not. Let me explain what I mean using a small example.

A couple of days ago a friend called and asked for advice on selecting a web host service for their new website. I sent them to my blog and insisted they use the affiliate link of the web hosting service, whose affiliate program I’m a part of. My friend signed up and I made a fast hundred bucks. So yes, I made that money fast. However, doing that on a consistent basis with people you don’t know is entirely something else.

The easiest method that all beginners should start out with is called affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is all about promoting other people’s products or services online and earning a nice commission for your efforts. Affiliate marketing is free and there are several free techniques available to promote the item you are affiliated with.

1. The first thing you need to do is find a product to promote. ClickBank and CB Junction are two well known, respectable vendors so I would start with one of these. Find a product that interests you, that pays between 50% to 75% commissions, is popular, and has good stats and reviews.
2. Next, sign up as an affiliate and get your I.D. that will be unique to you. Once you are signed up check out the member’s area if your program offers one. Member’s areas often have promotional tools and helpful tips.
3. Lastly, promote the heck out of your product. The more traffic you send to your products sales page, the more money you will make. Duh! There are a lot of methods to generate traffic, some are free and a lot are not. As a beginner, it is recommended that you start off with free techniques such as article marketing, blogging, or forum posts. I personally use and have success with article marketing.

Affiliate marketing is ideal for beginners because it requires no website, no experience, no customer service skills, no product creation, no shipping, no inventory and no payment transaction woes. It does require some effort and determination but you can and will start making money if you take action and stay focused. Get started and never give up!
