- Seven ways to make money online + a bonus:
- Membership sites: charging a fee for access to part or all of the content on a website. Site owners have to find a way to provide value to customers.
- Digital courses: create a course that lives online for customers to pay to access.
- Create a product or service: marketing your preexisting business online or developing a service or product to be marketed on your site.
- Advertising: use Google ads (or other advertisers) to put a banner on your site, from which you will receive a very small payment. Advertising is simple, but most lucrative when you have a high traffic website.
- Sponsorship: an outside business or person will contribute money, to sponsor your site, product or services.
- Listener/Reader Supported: consumers donate to the site if they’re finding value in the site’s content.
- Affiliate Marketing: you refer products to consumers, and if consumers click on links or choose to purchase a product, your site earns a commission.
- BONUS – grow your brand and watch what opens up to you.
- Combine and overlap these methods to best interact with and monetize your site.
- What is drop shipping and how did Brad use it to sell fire wood holders?
- How can you find businesses and products to work as an affiliate?
