It's actually very popular to make a part-time, hobby blog, or website an asset that generates income with a little luck and hard work.

Be aware that the following strategies vary from simple and passive strategies to strategies that involve a lot of continuous effort (so make sure you pick something that suits your site and lifestyle preferences).

The guide includes 33 tips, but let's begin with the ten most popular (and predictable) site tips.

You can use these step-by-step guides to create your own website at the cheapest cost when you want to create a website that you want to monetize.

10 Most Common Ways to Make Money with Your Website

It's not easy to make cash out of your website. Possibly your best bet to begin with these 10 tips.

1. Affiliate Marketing (.. and Affiliate Links)

Affiliate Marketing is one of the most common ways to make money out of your web or blog (not to mention quickest).

Begin by finding a product that you like and want to recommend. You then endorse the product on your website and advertise it to visitors to your website and e-mail subscribers. If you are aware of the product or service, you can click on your affiliate connection to purchase the product (while you get a split of the sale price).

The commission will range from 30% of the product or service price to up to 70%. You can earn $50 for the reference of the customer if the split is 50% and you support an e-book which is $100. Really goodbye, huh?!

Where can I find products to promote?

• Commission junction – offers reliable products with on-time payments.
• ShareASale – mostly clothes, accessories, and other offline goods.
• Clickbank – high percentage payouts, but there’s a lack of GOOD products to promote.

2. “Pay Per Click” Advertising (Google Adsense)

AdWords are the advertising on the top of the search results pages for Google.

AdSense is the other way around, enabling publishers to draw on the vast Google advertising grid to allow additional advertisers.

How easy all is is is the best part of this method.

Upon registration, Google can put a simple code on your website that recognizes and shows the contents of your site. For example, Google AdSense will begin displaying ads for your visitors to cat food, dog training, and more if your sites are about animals (dogs & cats).

You get paid each time someone clicks on the ad. (Yes, it’s really that easy!)

Your cut might be anywhere from $0.50 to $5 per click. When your site has enough traffic, you can make hundreds (if not thousands of dollars) each month.

How to apply for Google Adsense?

• Apply for AdSense – Before applying, make sure you keep up with their latest Terms Of Service. Google has very strict rules, so it’s hard to get (and stay) approved.

3. Sell Ad Space

  .Adsense is just one way to make money from online advertising. AdSense is built into the website.

Another thing is essential to selling your own ad space to businesses who want to sponsor blogs. You can find a price for every room, e.g., "Sidebar banner ads cost $xxx a month"  

Depending on how many visits you get, you will be paid. Usually, it is quoted by 1000 impressions as a dollar sum (or CPM). You should consider it CPM $5. If 100,000 visits to the website are received per month, this ad price would cost $500.00.

The positive thing about this strategy is that your banner ad rates will reach as high as $5, 000 a month if your site receives a lot of traffic from various sources! The obvious drawback is that you can't hope to gain much if your site doesn't get a lot of traffic.

A simple direct price is the other common form of selling ad space directly from your web site. You simply name a price and you are charged early at the beginning of every month based on what you think it is worth, in terms of what the competition will charge. This price is typically just a simple fee, not constrained by an AdSense-like Cost Per Click.

Where can I let others know that my website is selling ad space?

• BuySellAds – The most popular environment to let everybody know you’re selling ad space.

4. Sell Your Own Digital Product (Ebook for Example)

When you can market yourself directly, you have the ability to make the most money per sale.

That is because you and the buyer won't have a middle-man or person who takes a 'bite' out of the money.

This method seems very easy because you can only sell these items directly from your website and get paid immediately. Sadly, in fact, this isn't so easy.

To produce nice and polished products takes a lot of time and money (like design, content, etc.). In both the time invested and the contractors working together, there are several 'hidden costs.' The selling of your own goods on your website often raises problems such as payment gates, delivery, and taxes.

If it doesn't seem like enough work, you will also need a very well built, compelling landing page to ensure that the conversion rate of your product is high. Here is a list of the best builders of the landing page.

5. Accept Donations From Visitors

Do you have a large and active group when you don't have a lot of monthly visits? Just donate to your readers!

Acceptance of one-off donations does not allow you to get rich immediately, but it does help you cover short-term expenses if people like what you are saying and want to help you fly.

In PayPal for example, you can only add little buttons to your website for around 10 minutes. These buttons will easily retrieve what you may want to spend on good web hosts, new products, research, and everything else to keep your blog. h safe and active.

Web.archive.org, for instance, makes a lot of donations money (most likely due to their millions of visitors per month).

6. Sell Sponsored Posts (…but Use Nofollow Tag)

One of the popular ways to make more money from your platform is to increase the number of visitors.

After you have worked hard to build continuous traffic to your site with a devoted audience, there are a variety of ways to compensate for your hard work.

Many businesses, for instance, do not find blogs with their supported content. Native advertising works fine because it is aligned and is relevant and clear with the key content of your web.

You also can check a company's products in an advertisement which includes contents, part publicity. For instance, the developer of one of those ads would love to check and feature their app for your fans, if your website is all about iOS games for iPhone and iPads.

If done correctly, a win/win situation can be produced. But it can erode all the confidence of the reader that you have worked so difficultly to build in the first place, badly done, without or without appropriate material on the web.

7. Generate ‘Leads’ for Other Companies

Companies excel in new ways to ask for their goods or services.

It is not surprising that they are always on the lookout for new sources to help them expand.

Examples include:

Let's say you've got a platform for mathematical teaching. For numerous online schools that want to sell their courses to interested, proactive students, the information from your reader (like your email address or phones) is very useful.

Basically, you link the points; play a matchmaker with two mutually beneficial parties. Since it's similar to the way affiliate marketing operates, it doesn't matter whether or not your reader eventually buys their purchase. At this point, you are just finding an introduction.

Where can I find such offers?

• MaxBounty
• Neverblue
• Peerfly

8. Build an ‘Email List’

Time to read blog growth tips and people say "the money is on this list" you will definitely come across.

Your link to your list of email addresses that include your most loyal readers. The goal is to make as many strangers as you first visit your website passionate followers who want to keep up to date with your latest work or content.

This is probably a long term (and you won't get rich overnight). This is a long term strategy. However, this is one of the easiest, long-term approaches to make your blog a full-scale, cash-making firm.

Do not lose sight of building ties with your supporters. It is a perfect place to start with great knowledge or free support. One of the easiest ways to misuse the trust of a reader and undermine your long-term objectives is to spam people with unsolicited offers.

9. Set Up an eCommerce Site (Hard Work Is Required)

Not only do websites have to be content. You may concentrate on software or items in an online shop.

Be advised:

Hundreds of thousands of eCommerce websites or online stores are literally available. Make sure you fill a special niche with a comprehensive plan and the latest marketing tactics to distinguish you from the crowd.

10. Flip Your Websites (Create -> Sell -> Reinvest)

Believe it or not, your website is virtually still a market away.

So if you have made a product you could sell it to someone else and make a fast buck. if you have also sold a few items or included ads on your web.

To be frank, we usually recommend that people do not plan to flip their Site or blog (we are a bigger fan of long-term creation).

You can't deny that it can be lucrative. You could sell the site for 5,000 – 10,000 dollars (12x – 22x monthly income), for example, if you sell ad space at $500 a week.

Another interesting choice is the selling of ready-made websites, which are much cheaper, but money is still needed.

Where can I sell my site?

• Flippa – The most popular website market.
• We Buy Websites – Another popular marketplace.
• international – Mostly for high-end websites.

We have now counted some of your web sites' most famous ways to earn money.

We just scratch on the surface, although. However.

Below are 23 more ways to make your website money.

Another 23 Ways to Monetize Your Website

11. Sell text-link ads (NOT RECOMMENDED) – A request for text connection advertising is still underway (believe it or not). But note that Google's Service Terms violates these (which means you run the risk of getting penalized).

To avoid it, simply keep the ‘nofollow‘.

12. Set up “Infolinks” –Infolinks are a perfect alternative to AdSense ads, which can be configured easily. The downside is that the converting is not high; the payouts are also very small (per-click).

13. Use monetization widgets – They're close to Google Adsense too, so it's worth trying as an alternative.

14. Set up RSS feed ads. – It just sounds like it. Inline advertising space with RSS feed content for sale.

15. Give away premium content for extra $$$ – You should always try to convince them to pay for some of it if you create beautiful and amazing content that visitors can't receive enough! I'm personally okay to pay for premium contents (Crazy idea, huh?!). Bear in mind - don't automatically ask people to pay. Rather, remain focused primarily on increasing a public and tourists.

16. Start a private forum or coaching class(es) – Most of us have special credentials from which others can gain. Establishing a forum or classes is an easy way of supporting people while simultaneously creating recurring revenue.

17. Create a job board – Establishing a works council on your website is another quick and convenient way of raising extra money if people take on different job opportunities from individuals or businesses.

18. Offer consulting – The provision of consultations and facilities will assist you in accumulating good amounts of money while others require some period of time to accumulate. These services can be provided via email, forum or Skype.

19. Add the “hire me” page on your website – You may also use your new website or blog to present your free-lance services. Showing samples or proof of previous work can significantly improve the chances of being working.

20. Sell or rent internal pages – These are not so common, but what people are willing to rent or spending money on is something you might be shocked about!

21. Display pop-ups advertisements – Pop-ups can be very anxious. It is also an easy way to make fast money, however.

22. Use content lockers – "Content locking" resembles hiding or securing content items, before a visitor takes steps to rescue them. For instance, you might want them to pay a small sum, or you might want to click on an ad.

23. Display audio ads – These are relatively recent and becoming more frequent. I didn't try it myself. But I've read a few posts and it's certainly promising.

24. Sell an e-book – This is a brainless human. A lot of people sell e-books on their websites. Some examples: You can easily build and sell your own recetable book by creating a website about recipes and cooking. It's the same for almost all niches.

25. Create a conference around your website – Much effort, but also a big potential reward.

26. Set up a teaching program – You want a cross between the sale of your own material and the distribution of services or consultation.

27. Host paid webinars –  Similar to the latter tip, which is primarily a mixture of material consultation and teaching. 

28. Create a membership site – Another stage on the 'info-business' model has the added advantage of recurring profits.

29. Offer coupons (with affiliate links) – People are searching for discount and coupon codes for all sorts of clothes and travel. You will also take a break of the income if you can (find and) sell a legitimate one.

31. Offer writing gigs – For other businesses or individuals you can easily make $20 – $30 per 500-word post. There is also an immense potential for fluent language speakers, as many businesses want their websites translated into the language of their native speakers.

32. Create a paid directory/business page – The listing or subscribing to the page needs people.
