Monetising My Site

Posted by David Whitehouse

Well I decided to go with my idea of doing an Internet marketing blog in the end, for a number of reasons, but the main reason being that I have a passion for it, and so it should be easy for me to write endless amounts of content for it.

In fact I went for two blogs, but I’ve only set one up so far.  Site Juicer is to be my Internet marketing blog, and I’ve recently pimped it out with loads of ads – the AdSense ones being in highly clickable places (according to Google’s blog heatmap).

I’ve also setup affililate links for all the products my visitors are likely to be interested in, some of them I get paid per lead, which has particularly interested me.

Finally I have created an advertise here page with PayPal subscribe buttons, I haven’t really fairly priced the adverts, if I was to they would be worth almost nothing!! Instead I’ve put the miminum prices I would accept for the hassle, and I plan to increase traffic and page views over the coming months.

My next step will be to create an ebook to encourage email signups, this will then be followed up with a *yawn* email autoresponder series – each one recommending a product or service.

So once I’ve done my ebook (hopefully by the end of next week) I will start writing content and interlinking it. I’ve also got ProBloggers 31 days to a better blog, which I plan on giving a try…

At least it should be an interesting project to work on, I hope to learn a lot about monetizing in the process (I’ve even made £18 this week for referring people to various sites).

Once it gets enough money I plan to pay for a logo and then a design… when it earns enough that is, I figure it needs to pay for itself to justify paying out for a design…
