How
can I make extra money from my web site ?
Have you ever
wondered how web sites earn money from advertising? They normally
use affiliate marketing programs. These programs collect the money
from advertisers and distribute it to webmasters giving them a
share in the success for their efforts.
If you have a website you can start making money immediatley from
affiliate schemes. All you have to do is sign up, choose the adverts
you think will make you money, cut and paste some HTML code into
your web pages and you're away. You can start earning money immediatley.
It will not make a fortune overnight. It takes time, patience
and hard work to become successful but getting started is easy.
There are different ways that you can earn money from affiliate
schemes. The usual options available are as follows :
Pay Per Click : Every time a new
visitor to your site clicks on an advert you get paid. It's normally
only a few pence but if you're getting enough traffic this soon
adds up. Tradedoubler offers the best UK selection of these programs.
Pay Per Lead : You get paid when
a visitor to your site clicks on an advert and registers or signs
up at the advertisers site. These typically pay anything from
10p up to several pounds. Most networks offer a selection of Pay
Per Lead programs.
Pay Per Sale : It as it says, you get paid when a visitor
to your site clicks on an advert and buys something from the merchant's
site. These programs typically pay a percentage (although a few
pay a fixed fee) which can be anything from 1% on low margin high
volume goods up to 15% and beyond for services such as insurance
and loans
Some merchant's will combine Pay per Click and Pay Per Sale programs
and often run special promotions offering higher commission or
Pay Per Click rates. It pays to read their newsletters and log
in regularly to find the best deals available.
