Lately I have been getting quite a few questions about online monetization.
Many people love to write blogs or have created websites for themselves and would like to make some sort of profit out of it. There are a few other ways of monetizing your webpage, but for now we will specifically review advertisements.
Below are three ways to start advertising:

Below are three ways to start advertising:
Pay Per Click
Pay per click (PPC), also known as cost per click, is when you are paid whenever someone clicks on an advertisement or link you have placed your website.
The most common pay-per-click program is Google AdSense. As long as you make sure you have an ample amount of relevant content on your website, Google AdSense is a good option to get started with. However, the revenue from this form of online advertisements is only one or two cents per click. And it may take a few of weeks for Google to approve your website.

Affiliate
This type of advertising is also fairly accessible. You get to choose the specific advertisements that appear on your site. However, affiliate advertisements only counts if your site visitor purchases a product after clicking the link. You will receive a percentage of the profit from the product you are promoting. There are a range of companies that sponsor affiliate programs including big names like Walmart and Amazon. Just look at the bottom of their website and that’s where the affiliates page will usually be located.
There are, however, a few cautions about affiliate programs. When you do type in the search engine, “affiliate” programs, there are websites that will pop up with certain a list of different affiliate programs. Not all of these programs are legitimate and look very sketchy. Albeit, if you want to market the plethora of lose weight programs and Photoshop tip e-books, be my guest, but I cannot promise you that your product will be of good quality.
Of course, don’t just choose a random product to market on your website. Think about who your audience is and partner with the affiliate program that best targets your viewers to get a higher click-through rate and hopefully a higher purchasing rate.

Direct Company Advertisements and Sponsorships
This one depends purely on the agreement you made with the company directly. Unlike affiliate programs, direct company advertisements don’t have to rely solely on when you purchase the product nor on how many clicks you receive on the ad. Your partner may just be trying to get seen and will pay based on how many individual viewers hit your site per week, but again this all depends on the agreement you make with your company partner.
