How to Make Money From Your Blog or Content Website

It is the blinkered thinking which is stopping many bloggers and content website owners from realising the commercial potential of their sites. There are actually dozens of ways of making money from a good content website. Here are over 30 ways that I have come across. Please add any others in the comments below.

Advertising

Text Ads – short text ads automatically displayed on a page based on the context of the content. Google AdSense dominates the market.

Display Ads – Banner and button ads displayed at the top or to the side of content

Video Ads – Short video ads embedded into a page. They can be auto-play (annoying!) or be clicked to play. There is usually an example on the Yahoo.com home page

In-Content Ads – Ads that are linked to keywords within articles. Learn more at InLinks.com

Classifieds – User submitted classified ads. Craigslist is the gorilla, but lots of content websites have niche classifieds. Take a look at RockyMountainNews.com"

You can also recommend your affiliate programs to your visitors by having a section on your website and you list your favorite affiliate programs along with descriptions of their products or services. It is important that you make sure that your affiliate product reviews honest.

5.      Give away freebies that have your affiliate links in them. This can involve giving away short reports, e-books or an e-course with your affiliate links in them.

Hon.Patrick Obahiagbon on Pa Enahoro

Chief Anthony Enahoro's modus vivendi, whilst he peregrinated through this will-o-the-wisp of a three dimensional world, resonated with a divine halo of an iconic personage who was propelled by the PIRKEAVOTHIAN apothegm which urges man to realize "that the day is short and the work is great, "

 No wonder that from a very young age, he engaged in self abnegation and mortification of the flesh in a spartan, clinical and cerebral bid to salvage the Nigerian project even at the expense of his health infrastructure.He ceaselessly fulminated against vagabonds in power whose primus mobile had philistinic anchorage on a depreciably mindless crave for vacuous hedonism and ingratiating political megalomania.

 He must have been viscerally pained to note while he was at the departure lounge, that the ship of the Nigerian State was still nosediving and sliding into an eschewable oxbow lake and cataract and he must finally have wondered if the zoning debate currently going on is not another egregious insult by our elitist political class on the pauperized,sissfied and ossified sensibilities and sensitivities of our lumpen proletariat.

 The only way we can honour this great man who gave his all for Nigeria is for all progressive forces to extricate themselves from the arms of morpheus, with a view to continously dymistify,explode and pulverize the machivellian,mephistophelian,primitively accumulative and rabidly sybaritic propensities of our political class be it at the level of executive suzerainty or parliamentary olympian aloofness.

How To Put A Clickable Link In A YouTube Video To An External Website

Being able to put a clickable link in your YouTube video with a clear call to action to visit your website is of course highly desirable for those who are using YouTube to market their products. The problem has been with YouTube annotations that you are only allowed to put a clickable link to a url directly on the YouTube network like a channel or another YouTube video.

 You cannot use YouTube annotations to put a link to a website outside of the YouTube network. So how can a marketer get a real call to action link right in the YouTube video and have it go to his website?

The answer is YouTube Paid Promotions. When you register your video with YouTube Paid Promotions you are allowed what they call a “Call To Action Overlay.” This is a very nice blurb you can put at the bottom of your video with a description, display url and destination url. If the viewer clicks on the link they go directly to the website of your choice even if it is not on the YouTube network.

I know what you are thinking. “Now I am going to be paying all kinds of high pay per click charges.” Not necessarily. You can choose to promote your video through YouTube Paid Promotions and just choose a few unpopular keywords and make a low cost per click bid.

This way you get the option of having a nice “Call To Action Overlay” without having to pay the pay per click charges. Of course if you want to optimize your video with lots of keywords and you are willing to pay for it this is fine too.

I hope this tip helps you with your YouTube promotions. If so please like the video and comment below. You are also welcome to embed the video on your blog or website.
 Thank you!
