What is Monetization of a website?

Monetization of a website is the process of making money from it.

If you make your website to generate income for you, it is known as monetization.

What are the methods of monetizing ? or How do websites make money?

Monetizing is done by several methods, they are

1 Earn by advertisements
2 Earn commission by selling affiliate products
3 Selling your advertisement spaces to someone
4 Selling your own products

these are the methods most of the people use to monetize their website. Let’s discuss one by one in detail.


1. Earn by Advertisements

People usually search the internet to find the solution for their query, you provide answers to their query and make them visit your website.

Then you show the advertisement on your blog and earn money from it

You will earn when people watch and click on the advertisements.

Advertisement sample

There are two types of advertisements, that is CPC/PPC and CPM.

CPC stands for Cost per click (pay per click) ads which are placed as banners on the websites. When a reader clicks on the ad, you are getting paid for that click.

Another type is CPM which stands for Cost Per 1000 Impressions, you will be paid by the number of impressions on your ad, they don’t need to click it to generate income.

But usually, earnings from CPM ads are very low, it’s approximately around 0.000$ for 1000 impressions

The earnings from the ads depend on factors like,

  • What niche your blog is about?
  • Which country the traffic is from?
  • Ad placements, ad types, and
  • the number of hits your blog receives. (traffic)

advertisements CPC rate vary for different niches, based on these factors, the advertiser calculates and pay you.

Their advertising policy differs to each other, and they are safe and legitimate.

2. Earn commission on Affiliate products

You can see some website have menus like “advertise with us”, “for advertisement contact” and so on.

People contact them to advertise their products for sale or for impressions.

4. Earn By  Selling your own products

After earning trust from the readers, you can also sell your own products to them.

But for this, you need to have more experience so that your readers will trust you to make a sell.

For instance,

If your website is 4 years old and has monthly around 1 million visitors  (Here why I am mentioning old is that the readers have a trust in you).

If you recommend your own ebook on “How to?” or recommend a study course, they will trust you and you make a sale.

Need to earn a good reputation for doing like this and earn income. Here your brand value will make your sale.
