There are other ways to bring in revenue from your website besides just using Google Adsense. Adsense is great way to fill ad space without having to do too much work for it. You sign up and then insert the code where you want the ads to appear, and then targeted ads are placed in the chosen spot.
Another great way to bring in money from your site is Affiliate Revenue. This is where you sell another companies product as an affiliate and take a commission from the sales. My advice to you is to choose a product that you stand behind and are familiar with. Most companies have some sort of affiliate program.
- Amazon is one of the biggest
Commission Junction is a good place to start
ClickBank is also a good place to check out for affiliate products
Some people who run websites, set up a Donation system. This can be done using Paypal. Think this option through, before you do, it might not do as well on some sites. Sometimes readers take it as a type of begging. But some people feel like donating when there is quality content. It’s your call.
Then there is always the Direct Ad Sales. You can contact specific companies to your niche and ask if they want to advertise on your site. Make sure you have good traffic built up before you do. A lot of advertisers will want to know what the stats for your site are to determine if it would be beneficial to advertise with your site. You can also be creative in this area as well, and come up with some sort of alternative payment plans.
There are many more ways to monetize your site. These are just the beginning steps that you should set in motion on your path to passive income.
