How To Make Money Building Websites (Various Ways) -

Building websites are a good way to make money and it’s not going anywhere. All you need is some creativity and the will to learn.

In this blog post we will go over how to make money building websites.

Paid Guest Posts

If your blog is bringing in enough visitors companies may start reaching out to you for some paid guess posts. This is when they have a blog post that is about their product that they want to place on a site to get referrals from your audience.

This is a win win for both of you because you will have the opportunity to make some money and they will have another way to promote their business/product which can result in more sales for them.

Keep in mind when you first start your website you’re not going to get opportunities like this. You have to first build up a healthy amount of traffic to start this type of advertising.

Here are a few ways to get more visitors:

Post Consistently

This is probably the most important way you can get more visitors to your blog. If you post consistently then people will have a reason to visit your website multiple times.

Focus On Good SEO

SEO isn’t going anywhere, so it makes sense to learn how to do this. With good SEO you will be 1 of the first websites to pop up on Google which means more traffic for you.

You underestimate the power of social media , but it can drive a lot of people to your website if done right. It is best to focus on 1 social media and do it well than spread yourself to thin on all of them and not get any traffic.

Monetize With Ads

You can monetize with adsense which can give you a decent amount of money. You just have to keep in mind that the more traffic you have the more money you will make from adsense.

Google AdSense and other premium ad networks require you to get a certain amount of traffic before they will approve you for their programs.

Google AdSense is probably the easiest to get started with and then you can eventually get into premium networks like Ezoic, Mediavine and Adthrive.

You don’t necessarily need to do this with a blog either. You just need to have a lot of traffic. For example a tools website like all the ones out there that list out tools like Ahrefs, Moz and SEMrush. Chances are they make money with adsense as well.

Although a tools site doesn’t have to be only a tool site it can have SEO optimised blog posts to drive traffic.

You can also do this with a forum site. Forum sites may take a while to build but if you do it correctly then you can build a nice website that will continue to bring in traffic and money month after month.

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is also a good way to make money. Within your blog you can recommend products and services to your audience. If they end up buying the product you recommended you get a % of their purchase.

In order to keep your status with most affiliate partners you should be getting them sales, therefor you need traffic.

When you have traffic then affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to make money in my opinion. You can recommend a lot of products and services that won’t cost you much money, but will give you commission for each product sold.

Offer Consulting

If you’re an expert in a specific niche and don’t mind offering consulting then you can make some good money. To get started this way is pretty easy. You just create a website or even better a blog, post your services and contact details on the site and wait for companies/people to contact you.

Membership Program

You can create a membership website. If you feel your content is premium content for people to pay for then you can do this. It’s not always the easiest way to make money, but if done correctly it can be a great option.

Instead of making your site a membership site you can also sign up to sites like Patreon. Patreon is like Kickstarter but on Patreon you get money for creating regular content. People ‘pledge’ an amount of money each month that they will pay to your PayPal account.

Course Or Ebook

You can start/create a course or ebook if you feel your advice is worth money. You would have to make sure you are giving people your best information when doing this.

Conclusion:

There are many ways to make money via website and these are few of them. Keep in mind most of them require a good deal of traffic to make a significant amount of money.
