How do you make money on
internet at home? You are boy or a girl,
teenager or an adult, man or women,
everyone can make money on internet at
home. There are at least two ways in
which sites can make money: (1)
Advertising Revenue (2) Selling Goods and
Services
Making Money From Advertisement: If you
look at many websites, you will probably notice
that there are banner advertisements displayed
on most pages. If you are a newcomer to the
scene, you might think that you must either be
a company or that your site must be famous
before you can get advertisers, just as it is
the case in hardcopy publications. In reality,
anyone with a website can get advertisers.
While it is true that if your site is
well-known, you may get companies contacting
you to offer to advertise on your site, you can
get advertising revenue even if you are just
starting out and your site is relatively
unknown. The way to do this is to join as an
"affiliate" of various sites, either directly,
or through an affiliate network. An affiliate
network is simply an intermediary where you can
select from a variety of advertisers.
Payment Methods: Before joining any
program, you should probably be aware of the
different payment schemes available.
Pay Per Impression: Here, you are paid
according to the number of times the
advertiser's banner is displayed on your site.
The amount you earn is typically calculated
based on the number of thousand impressions of
the banner (impressions = number of times the
banner is displayed), often abbreviated CPM
(cost per thousand, with the M being the Latin
numeral for thousand). That is, $10 CPM means
that you get paid $10 for 1,000 displays of the
banner. In general, the amount paid is usually
small, but it is easy to earn since every time
a visitor loads the page, you earn. This is
known as a "high conversion rate". Needless to
say, this method will allow you to
automatically earn more if your site attracts a
lot of visitors.
Pay Per Click: When you are paid per
click, you are only paid when visitors click
the advertiser's banner on your site. The
amount paid is usually higher than the pay per
impression scheme. Whether you get a high
conversion rate here depends on the banner
(whether it attracts people to click it),
although in general, it has a higher conversion
rate than the pay per sale method. A high
traffic site will probably enjoy a higher click
rate than a lower traffic site, although you
will probably get better results if your
banners are carefully selected to suit the
target audience of your site.
Pay Per Sale or Lead: While you will
probably get the highest payment rates with
this method, it has the lowest conversion rate
of the three schemes. You will only earn if
your visitors click through the banner and
either purchase an item from the advertiser or
take some other prescribed action (eg, sign up
for a service). Like the Pay Per Click method,
you get much better results if you carefully
select your advertisers to suit the target
audience of your site.
To join an affiliate network or program, simply
go to the site and complete their online
application form. Some programs will give you
instant approval while others require a human
to check out your application before it is
approved. Once it is approved, you'll be given
some HTML code which you can cut and paste into
your web page. Note that some affiliate
networks and programs will not accept you
unless you have a domain name.
How To Choose An Affiliate Program?
How should you choose an affiliate program? if
you are targeting parents on your site, links
to affiliates with educational software, books
and the like may generate more revenue than
banners that link to web hosting companies. The
most important rule of choosing an affiliate
program is to know your target audience.
Another point to consider is whether you really
want to join every single affiliate program
that comes your way. Some studies suggest that
sites that make the most money from affiliate
programs are affiliates of only a small handful
of programs. Furthermore, concentrating your
advertisements from one network may allow you
to be paid faster. If you advertise for
hundreds of different affiliate networks on
your site, you may wind up earning only (say) a
few dollars per month from each network. If
your advertiser's minimum payment amount is
higher than what you can earn each month, it
may take you a long time before you accrue
enough to be paid.
On the other hand, that formula does not
necessarily hold true for every site (or every
page on your site, for that matter). For
example, if your site has a particular theme,
and an affiliate network only supports one or
two suitable advertisers, you might want to
sign up for a few affiliate networks so as to
get a greater number of relevant advertisers.
After all, advertisements that are relevant to
your audience are more likely to be taken up
than general advertisements. (What's the point
of putting banners from only one affiliate if
nobody is going to click them?)
We will add in near future some good affiliate
programs enabling our viewers to make good
money at home from their websites. Simple rule
of thumb, only join related affiliate programs,
eg if your website is related with beauty only
join affiliate programs of beauty
websites.
