What is monetization? I hear a lot about it, but what exactly is it?

Website monetization is the process of converting traffic being sent to a particular website into revenue  OR in another words  …..  TRAFFIC  →→  $$

Although implementing pay per cliclk (PPC) and cost per impression advertising are some of the more popular ways of monetizing a website, there are lots of  other ways to monetize your blog. 

Ways to Monetize Your Blog
  1. Pay Per Click Advertising  – where advertisers pay the publisher (typically a website owner) when the ad is clicked:
  2. Cost Per Impression –  where advertisers pay each time an ad is displayed
  3. Text Link Ads – where you place text based ads within the text of your articles
  4. In-text Ads  –  where advertisement are placed inside your text content such as articles or blog posts
  5. Advertising Widgets – where you place an ad widget on the sidebar of your blog
  6. Advertising Space – when you sell space on your website for advertisers to display a banner
  7. Audio Advertising
    • Pay per Play (PPP) are audio adverts that are played every time someone visits your website
    • Podcast ads
  8. Pop-ups/Lightboxes

  15. Membership Site/Program – where a given website attracts visitors with free content and then provide added benefits for a membership fee.
  16. Private Forums  – although similar to a paid membership, private forums can be created to cater to your audience where members  pay an annual/monthly fee to access the forum and interact with the other members
  17. Email Marketing
  18. Surveys & Polls – where  you place surveys and polls from certain companies on your website who will pay you for the privilege

  20. Sell Your Custom Template or Theme
  21. Donations  – where you can get a donate button from PayPal to place on your site and ask people to donate a small amount to you for the service that you provide
  22. Auction Your Website – before giving up and walking away, you could consider selling your website. There are many sites that offer to list your site for sale for people to bid on
Pick a way or two

Don’t let this list overwhelm you. Just pick one or two ways and implement them. Try for 30-90 days and see what happens. Give it time and implement away.
