Making money on a blog or website is not what most people think. Instead of the concept where people think a blog collects data from all those who visit it, making money online is a systematic and stretching experience for anyone to experience, but out of the millions of blogs that are created yearly and several hundreds of thousands of websites, only some few move to the point of financial beneficial.
I used to embrace the same data-retrieval concept, thinking that sites like Facebook earned so much from our data.until I got into the real thing back in 2020. It caught me off guard that what I had was shit and now I am sharing the different money-making strategies that I have come across in my blogging research.
Understand why we pay for data.
Internet connections like the web are run on different server ports and the web is run on the universal port 80, but to be connected to servers that are listening for requests through port 80, you need an infrastructure to move your message to very far places like the US.
Look at that infrastructure like a taxi. We pay to board a taxi to a district like doomer, but doomer does not earn from the fare we pay. It is the taxi guy who benefits. The only way doomer will benefit is if we visit sites like museums. That's how it all works.
Passive ways websites make money.
1. Ad campaigns
Advertisements are in different forms: pop-up videos and pictures or just static linkable pictures. The main ad providers for websites are Google's AdSense, WordPress's ,and some other third party companies that charge a fee for their ads.
Ad campaigns are difficult because of people's phobia for them though they work in niche based advertising. An example of niche harassment is a car selling ad in a kids website. That's time wastage.
2. Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is like Ad campaigning though they pay you for the click and you also receive a commission on the sale. They are mostly used by e-commerce sites like Amazon.
They also give a good return if they match the niche.
3. Podcasting
This is providing audio for your visitors to stream. It can be provided by interviews that webisite owners make with other people and also audio recordings by the owner of his own articles. This is difficult because most people are attracted by graphics, but it can really work out for interviews and audio courses. The recordings are then bundled in a podcast site like iTunes.
4. YouTubing or video subscription.
Instead of hosting their own videos, bloggers refer visitors to YouTube using embedded videos. As time goes, they get a good subscription list which enables them pull out something from it.
5. Email marketing
This also involves collecting a number of emails through an email subscription feed. The mails sent to subscribers are then funneled through third party companies that pay the mailing to the collected email list.
6. Link trading
As Google's algorithm becomes more sharp, it's very difficult for new sites to be indexed and ranked on Google. Because Google looks at the number of high level links to a site to rank it, many new bloggers pay trending blogs to link back to them.
7. Paid consultancy
As blogs grow, need comes to most guys to either learn how the blog grew or any other business oriented stuff. The need to learn that from firmly standing websites is mostly fulfilled by cash exercise so the owner earns something.
Active ways websites make money.
1. Writing and selling e-books
Take an example of a cooking website that writes a full e-book of recipes and decides to sell it to its community at a low fee. The greater the sales the more cash. This is not also applicable on most teen websites because of the financial backwardness those groups have.
2. Organizing paid tutorials or short courses
These are also like the e-books unlike their being a premium product offer.
Those are the ways I managed to list though there are many more depending on the website type.
