BOOST YOUR WEBSITE EARNINGS

Are you an online entrepreneur? That means you have a website set up. Every now and then it is good to evaluate how your marketing efforts are working with your website. This is one way to boost your earnings.
Is your website doing all that it can do for you? If not, then you may want to re-evaluate your website structure.

Ask yourself one question: Is my site relevant? If you are using SEO to create page titles, tag lines and anchor text within content, then you are on the right track. But, even an informational website can do more to pay for itself and create income for your business.

Here are some ways to boost the earnings.

Affiliate programs

You can promote products that are complementary to yours on your website. Each time someone clicks on the links, they are directed to that site. You are credited based on the way the program is set up. Choose an affiliate program with a full toolbox of aids to help with your promotion and also incentives for top sellers.


Create a newsletter

This encourages others to read and share your site. It is also one way to build your list of potential customers. Create an opt-in page where they can enter their name and email address in exchange for a free monthly newsletter in their inbox.


Use clear navigation

Include a site map so visitors can see at a glance what your site has to offer. Use buttons that clearly tell customers what action you want them to perform. This way there will be no doubt in their minds. Your buttons can be a “call to action” for affiliate programs and your own products.

Showcase your products

Create an online store or catalogue where visitors can see your products and read a description before they buy. Offer deals where they can get free items for buying certain products, or referral bonuses.

FAQs page

This is where they can find out about you and your customer service. Use it to answer commonly asked questions so that you aren’t saddled with emails all containing obvious inquiries.

Guest blogging

Agree to blog for others, in a complementary area of your niche, in exchange for links to your site. This way you can give their readers a taste of your style and what you have to offer. You can extend the same courtesy to the other blogger to create a mutually beneficial partnership.

Look around

Find the sites that are the most popular in your niche and on the internet at large and see how they are using their website to maximize earnings. Try a few pages from their book and see how it works for you.

Looking to earn more from your site? Here are some suggestions to get you started.

MAKING MONEY WITH ADSENSE – THE BASICS

Google AdSense is a simple, no-nonsense way of turning web traffic into money. Instead of going through the hassle of selling advertising or creating your own product, with Google AdSense all you need to do is go through a ten minute set-up process and you’ll be earning money right away.

What is AdSense? How does it work? Here are the basics.


How Google AdSense Works

Google AdSense is what’s called a “contextual advertising” program. Basically, AdSense will read all the text around the ad, figure out what the website and webpage is about, then serve up ads that are related to what your site is about.

For example, let’s say you’re running a website that teaches people how to fish better. You don’t have a fishing store or product to sell, but you want to make some money from your website.

All you need to do is put up Google AdSense. Once AdSense is live, it’ll read the text on your website and figure out that it’s about fishing. It’ll then serve up ads by advertisers targeting people who fish. For example, you might have ads selling fishing rods, baits and fishing guides.

Every time someone clicks on your ad, you’ll get paid. The amount you’re paid depends on how valuable the click is to the advertisers. For example, if you’re running a candle-related website, you might only make $0.10 a click. On the other hand, if you’re running a legal website, you might get paid as much as $3 a click.


How to Set Up Google AdSense

To get started, go to:

http://www.google.com/adsense/

You’ll need to register an account. In order to do so, you must first have a website up and running already so Google will know where you plan on putting the ads.

Then, walk through the AdSense set-up process. At the end of the process, Google will generate a small snippet of code.

Copy and paste this code into your HTML editor. Upload the file, then wait about five minutes for it to process. Once AdSense has had a chance to read your website, it’ll generate the ads and you’ll soon be up and running.

If you don’t edit your own website, just copy and paste the code and email it to your webmaster.

What Kind of Websites Work Well with Google AdSense?

The best kinds of websites for AdSense tend to be content websites that get traffic primarily from search engines.

It’s very rare that you’ll be able to make more money from AdSense than you’re spending from another advertising source. For example, it doesn’t really make sense to try to advertise in a magazine for your website and try to make the money back with AdSense.

Because search engine traffic is free, you’ll almost always be profitable if you’re driving traffic from search engines to AdSense.

Content sites work best because you have increased trust already and people will tend to click on your recommendations and links. Also, AdSense tends to earn less than selling your own or other people’s products, so it doesn’t really make sense to use AdSense in conjunction with an ecommerce site.

In short, AdSense works best with content sites that are ranked in search engines.

These are the basics of how to use Google’s innovative AdSense program. Setting it up takes less than ten minutes. If you’re already getting traffic, you can very soon be expecting a check from Google.
