One of the best ways to make money from a website with very little effort is through affiliate programs. You simply find programs that are relevant to your website, sign up for them, and add affiliate links to your pages. When someone clicks your link and makes a purchase, you get a commission.
There are also affiliate programs that pay for leads. That means that your site visitor doesn’t have to buy anything in order for you to get paid. All he has to do is sign up for something free, such as an email newsletter or an insurance quote.
The hardest part about affiliate marketing is building enough traffic to your website to make good commissions. But you’re already working on building traffic, so you can profit from affiliate programs with virtually no extra work.
Pay-per-click advertising is another way that many domain flippers monetize their sites. It’s even more effortless than affiliate marketing, because once you place the code on your site, ads are automatically selected to complement your content. The profits are usually lower than affiliate marketing, but you can’t lose by using pay-per-click as long as you place the ads so as not to turn away your site visitors.
These methods are much simpler than trying to sell your own products or advertising space, and they’re more cost effective as well. They allow you to make money on autopilot while you concentrate on building traffic. And there’s no rule stating that you can’t use both of them at the same time on a given site- in fact, lots and lots of webmasters do just that.
