Are you ready to take away some of the money that millions of people earn online every day? This is more than 45 billion dollars; this means that there are many people who are getting rich on the net. If you want to be part of these privileged, here are some suggestions.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Create a website
Step 1. Establish your goal
Before you can attract an investor who decides to use your page as an advertising medium, you need to make your website really attractive in terms of traffic, authority and focus. Attracting sponsors must be your most important goal; this will be your main source of entry.
- Try to understand what are the main needs of sponsors who use the Internet to advertise: in general they are looking for traffic, a good site and good content and that the central topic of the page attracts visitors who could become potential customers.
- What you need to try to achieve with your site, therefore, is to attract the greatest number of visitors and retain them. The more time they spend on the page, the more likely they are to leave the site through one of your sponsors' links.
Step 2. Choose your market segment and your target user
To generate more traffic and, therefore, greater earnings, be selective when deciding your market segment and the type of user you are targeting. In general, younger audiences are "pioneers" on the Internet and much more inclined to click on advertisements, in case a certain topic is considered interesting.
- Remember that the goal is to generate clicks, not sales: your income is based on that. Once the user has clicked on your site, it will be up to the merchant to complete the transaction. You will be paid regardless of the merchant's sales volume.
- Search the Internet for the trending topics of the moment and also include the year in the search (eg: "ideas for websites 2013") In this way you will avoid wasting time having to sort through millions of results that refer to past years and that are no longer interesting. Once you have identified the ideas with the greatest potential, your task will be to choose the one that most piques your interest.
Step 3. Purchase a custom domain
Many years ago it was possible to think of a business name and immediately buy the corresponding domain; nowadays, competition is very strong and most of the more commonly named domains have already been bought. Try to be as creative as possible in choosing the name for your web page.
- One of the most common ways is to buy a ".com" domain. Find a hosting service, buy the domain and proceed to create the page. If you choose a hosting service that offers the option to purchase the domain at the same time, you will make the process much smoother.
- Alternatively, you can sign up for a service like Blogger, or Wordpress, which allows you to get the domain for free (e.g. sitename.blogspot.com). Another advantage of these services is that they offer very attractive designs that will make your site look truly professional. However, if you want to customize it to a high level, you will have to subscribe to a "Pro" subscription.
Step 4. Create your site
Using ready-made designs, or those of a graphic designer, it is time to create the site. How you organize it depends on the topic and your target user. Remember that the main goal is to keep people on the site as long as possible. Content is your most important way to build user loyalty!
If you offer a service, your website must contain a good description of the service and articles related to the sector in which you operate. A mechanic's site, for example, should contain articles like: "How to change the oil in a vehicle", "How to change a wheel" etc … A chef's site, on the other hand, should focus on articles on recipes, techniques useful in the kitchen, etc… The basic idea is to give the visitor a reason to stay on the page and, possibly, come back
Step 5. Update the contents
Don't just write a couple of articles and wait for visitors to come by themselves. Remember we're talking about your primary input source - spend an hour or two on the website every day and be patient.
The more you write, the more interest you can arouse. The greater the interest, the more visitors will begin to arrive and the more clicks will be made on the ads on your page. Always remember this what your goal is
Method 2 of 2: Start Promoting Your Site and Sponsors
Step 1. Sign up for Google Adsense
Adsense will place contextual ads on your page. You will get paid every time someone clicks on an ad.
You will be paid for the number of clicks made on the ad or for the times it is viewed. The more traffic you will be able to generate, the more clicks will be made and the greater the profit
Step 2. Promote your site
Whenever you publish a new article, make any changes to already published content, or post anything else on the site, let it know through: Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, LinkedIn and other social media networks you know. The key is to get the word out as much as possible.
- Sign up for all the services mentioned above and make sure you have a link that redirects to your site in each of them.
- Activate an email campaign. Once a week write a newsletter indicating the new contents of your site and send it to your database of visitors who have agreed to receive it. Don't send too many emails in a short time; try to avoid spam!
Step 3. Pay attention to your site statistics
Detect which advertisements are the most effective and which pages they are on and create more advertisements and pages of the same type.
By refining your techniques and processes, you will increase the potential value of your page visitors. Always remember: the longer they are on your page, the bigger your income will be. Good luck!,
Step 4. Sign up for an affiliate program
Some businesses use affiliation as a way to increase sales volume; it involves paying the affiliate, who advertises the products of a company on its site, a commission when the buyer lands on the seller's page through a link on the affiliate's site.
