Types of money making programs
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006There are different types of money making program available in the internet:
- Pay per impression - In this program, you will be paid according to the number of times the advertiser’s banner is displayed on your site. The amount is calculated on the basis of the number of thousand impressions of the banner. By impressions, I mean the number of times the banner is displayed. Say you earn $5 for displaying 1000 banners in your site. So, the amount you earn is usually small but your conversion rate will increase because you will be earning everytime a visitor loads the page.
- Pay per click - Here you will be able to earn as and when a visitor clicks the advertiser’s banner on your site. If the banner is attractive one, you have a great chance to get high conversion rate. the only thing you need to make sure is that you choose the right banner to suit the target visitor of your site.
- Pay per sale or lead - If you join this program, you will make money if you refer a visitor from your site to the advertiser’s site through the banner placed on your site and if he purchases their product or registers with them to avail their services i.e. you will be paid for each sale or lead.
A few more things that you need to know. Here they are:
What is Affiliate Program?
The concept that I discussed yesterday for making money is known as “Affiliate System”. In short, I can say that it is the way by which you can earn by promoting other site’s product or services on your site. This method is so handy that you will be able to earn money by simply displaying the advertisement on your site even when you are asleep. Further, you don’t have to care about any customer service, product delivery, payment processing or any other responsibilities.
There are affiliate networks and directories available in the market. I am mentioning here some of those for your easy reference:

How to choose affiliate program?
It is the most important stage while you start off. My ultimate suggestion is “not to choose any program according to the payment scheme or it will degrade your site standard as well as popularity”. You need to judge your target audience based on the information you are providing them. For example, if you are providing some information on books, it will be profitable for you if you choose the amazon’s affiliate program. So I would suggest you to cencentrate on few good affiliate programs based on the your audience.
Tomorrow I will focus on earning money from your blogs. Bye for today…
