So in the last video, we took a look at a bunch of different banner ad companies that you could use,
apply to them, see who accepts you, you know, some of those banner ad companies, you're looking
for a specific type of blog or website to post their ads on.
So don't feel bad if you're getting rejected from some of these Dufferin, look around, find out what
works best for you.
Once you have one of those, I would suggest using a plugin like this doesn't have to be this one,
but this one works.
Well, I've used this one before.
It's called Quick Ad Sense.
And what it does is allows you to put banner ads into different parts of your blog post very easily
and without having to manually put them in every single article.
So now they're not taking any of the money from your banner ads or anything like that.
You just get this free download, you plug it into your website.
Very easy to install.
And once you get into your blog post, here's kind of an example of what it's going to look like.
You can switch over to text for you and what you're going to get is different places where you would
place the ad itself.
So maybe this is a in the widget or it's at the beginning, middle or end of the blog post.
It's nice to have those show up in different areas so people aren't just getting inundated with ads
at the very beginning or maybe they don't wait till the very end.
You can kind of mix them match in the middle.
You can also just inject the code right wherever you want it.
So maybe if there was a relevant banner ad that you saw that you were getting and you had an article
that pertained to it, maybe you'd want to put that in that certain spot so quick as this is a great
way to go.
Again, take a look at some of the other plugins as well.
You can just do a search for Google ads or ad sense or ad placement or something like that with an WordPress
going to get to see where those go.
Now, ads are not the only way that you can make money from your website.
That's what I want to take a look at her, some of the other options that you can do to make money from
your website.
This is a site called S.J Dot com or Commission Junction dot com.
It's one of the bigger sites where different companies come to them and they looked for people to do
things like write articles about their product and then link to them.
And what they do is they become kind of the middleman on this whole process where maybe I wanted to
do an article about how dentists' or contact lenses or something like that I thought would be relevant
to my readers.
And I could request to join their program where if somebody clicks and actually purchases now, this
is not just a click that is actually clicking and then purchasing a product, they're going to track
this information and I'm going to get a bigger commission on that.
So let's take a step back and think about the ads that we just talked about in the last video ad sense.
Chiquita, all those different companies, when you click on their ads, you're going to get anywhere
from a penny to maybe a couple of dollars for that one click.
In the instance of a company like this, that commission junction here, you could get anywhere between
five and one hundred dollars, maybe more, maybe less.
Just depends on the company and the product itself.
But you don't get that kind of money as soon as somebody makes a purchase.
So if you have a really good article really promoting something like, you know, dentist or contact
lenses or again, there's tons and tons and tons of different companies in here, you're going to get
paid a much bigger commission on it.
So you can see over here in this right hand column, they're going to show you the average seven day
estimated cost per click is six point ninety one British pounds, I believe is what that is, how to
change this over to U.S. dollars here in U.S. dollars.
So here's a case where average people are getting about two dollars and 40 cents for a lead on this
one or as opposed to junk is getting almost seventy dollars per purchase.
So, again, somebody clicks on this link from your website.
Commission Junction will track that information.
And if somebody actually makes a purchase, you're going to get a big old check for almost 70 bucks
right there.
So here's another one, INQ Farm.
Their average cost per car payment that they're giving out is almost one hundred twenty dollars a commission.
So a lot of different companies in here.
A lot a lot of good ones I have to do is come over into this area over here and you can search for things.
Maybe if you have a blog about, I don't know, like yoga, we can see if there's any kind of relevant
yoga that I can promise.
But yoga, it's clear that one out.
OK, so here's a whole bunch on fitness, I'm guessing maybe some of these companies either sell yoga
products or maybe I'm just getting a bad filter here.
But you can actually see it's a 24 hour fitness, almost 30 bucks U.S. dollars for every time somebody
signs up through their website.
So a lot of people do write articles specifically for these types of things and they get, you know,
good commission checks, 90 bucks, you know, 17 bucks, 42 bucks.
But again, this is not cost per click.
This is cost for actual acquisition.
So now there are some other options up here as well.
I do like this one is one of my more favorite.
Once you've built up a blog and you've got a decent following, you can actually show the amount of
traffic that you're getting, different things like that.
You can on your website offer to have paid guest posts.
Now this is all you can do this different ways.
You can have a PayPal plug in here or you can do basically kind of filter people out first and then
ask for money later on.
But you can have this guest post area on your website that a nice little contact form that explains
what you're looking for on your blog.
And some of you can submit an article that can be it's going to have some kind of paid link in it.
So you want to filter those out, make sure there's nothing to spam in that link.
But if the blog article fits your Web site and you feel like you like it, you can then suggest that
you would like to make 10, 20, 30 dollars off that article for you to post it as a sponsored article.
So this is one way to do it, just kind of filtering people out like this.
What people do kind of on the flip side of it is they will Google it in quotes and guest post or guest
right.
Or something like that.
And they're going to find websites that offer guest posting and people will start to find your Web site
and they'll take a look at it and say, you know what, this kind of fits the content that I'm looking
for.
I would like to submit a guest post and they will then pay you to do it or you can offer it for free
for a little while.
But it's a good way to make money.
I find it's a lot nicer than having ads on your Web site.
It looks a little bit more natural, even look like you wrote the article or just extra content free
on your Web site.
Maybe you're a little bit slow in writing.
Having paid guest posts is a nice way to keep your blog active.
Now, if you are blogging about something even more creative craft, like different things like that,
you can actually sell things on your WordPress website.
Now, this could be a whole separate training series installing Will Commerce or an online shopping
cart like this.
But a lot of people do blog to then talk about products that they sell or make or whatever the case
is.
And you can make this shopping cart very easily by using this word Wilkommen Commerce WordPress plugin
simply installed on your website and walk you through how to set it up and how to basically just plug
in any kind of credit card information that you want, shipping information.
It's very, very robust.
It's a great, great plugin and you can sell pretty much anything on your website.
I've helped people set up these types of shopping carts for everything from cosmetics to comic books
to regular books, things that they had written themselves.
You can sell one item.
You can sell, you know, hundreds of items in here.
So the alternative would be to go to something like a Shopify or a full paid website where you can sell
your products on there.
This is a better way or it's a little bit cheaper.
You're not paying as much as like Shopify.
You just pull this plug right into your website and start the very, very simple to do.
A lot of people then will also blog and then link to external sources.
So something like Etsy, where, again, they're making different products.
People are then selling them.
They can maybe write about them and then link over to places like this where they have their own Etsy
shopping cart site.
This takes the hassle out of having to have that shopping cart on your website itself and having maybe
they can sell or other things that you're going to have to get, really.
And it eases the whole payment processing situation.
By using a website like Etsy, you could also link to eBay or Amazon or different places where you can
sell products.
So just remember that these guys take a small portion of whatever money you make, whereas if it's on
your website, you get to keep all the profits.
One of the last places on the show you here is a company called ATSE.
And this is a great there is a lot of companies like this, but this is one that I use a lot of times
where maybe I want to get relevant links to my website.
So I would post an article of mine onto other people's websites.
But you can also list your website on here so that people can then choose to purchase these placements
of links or articles on your Web site.
It's very similar to the one we were talked about before with a guest posting.
This is just a marketplace that gets your information out there in front of other people, getting them
to notice your website and then purchasing that again, that spot on your website to post an article.
I really like this one a lot and get kind of use it because it looks more natural.
What you can do is come in here, you can look for websites or people can you look for websites that
have a certain domain authority or page of.
Already, the amount of links that they are looking for, the actual categories that they're looking
for.
So, again, this kind of filters out a lot of people.
People can say, oh, I'm looking for a website about food to be able to post my guest post on.
And you can see on CNN, just do one here.
So we'll say we want this to be in English.
You want to do category of food?
I'm not too worried about the domain authority for this example.
And I'll say search and scroll down.
You can see people are charging one hundred and fourteen dollars to have a single article posted on
their website.
Hundred seventy one.
Two hundred fourteen.
So.
Oh goodness.
Seven hundred for fourteen dollars to post an article on their website.
So off the grid news.
Wow.
So there's a lot of opportunity to make a lot of good money on here.
Once you have a decent website that's up and going.
So you can see really what the big difference is here is the domain authority and the page authority.
So the higher domain authority that you have, the more people will want to put content on your Web
site, get their links on your Web site.
See, this one's a bill.
Sixty six domain authority.
That's awesome.
So, again, they're charging seven hundred fourteen dollars to do that.
A lot of good money to be made from blogging in here.
So hopefully that kind of helps show you some different ways.
It's very simple to make money from your Web site.
Of course, you can always go more in depth and there's a lot of other companies that you can use.
I just wanted to touch on some of the big ones here, and hopefully that helps.
