So you have built your site. You followed all the standard SEO tactics to receive a half decent search engine ranking. You've hit your monthly visitor targets. Now what? Well, how about you put that human traffic to work and make some money with your website!
Content is what drives the world wide web but it's advertising which supports many of those content rich information resources. Without advertising, your quality information site could end up costing you a fortune in hosting fees etc. and anyway, if you target your advertising correctly, you can not only earn yourself a few pennies but also provide your visitors with useful links to other websites related to your page topic. Everybody wins!
You may be surprised at the big name companies who are willing to let you affiliate with them and display their advertising on your sites, no matter how small or basic it is. Ultimately both partners win, the advertiser gets the broad exposure they need for their advertising campaign and you and your visitors win with additional content and that nice little pay cheque at the end of the month.
How do I find people to advertise on my site?
Finding people to advertise on a website is not as difficult or as daunting as it may initially seem. Why would it be? The more exposure the advertisers receive, the better it is for them, right? Now, finding your own advertisers can be difficult and time consuming but few do that in the online world. Chances are, even if you do find a site looking for affiliates, they will direct you to one of the places I'm about to tell you about anyway!
The simplest and by far the most popular place to find quality advertisers is to visit one of the many internet affiliate networks. These affiliate brokers are basically middlemen in the publisher/advertiser relationship. You join them as a publisher (someone who wants to find advertising to display on their websites) and big companies such as Barnes & Noble, Tesco etc. join as Advertisers (companies who want you to show their adverts on your sites!). The affiliate network simply matches like with like and all are free to join and free to use as a publisher. So, if you have a site dedicated to your collection of Green Widgets, then you'd browse through the list of Advertisers on the affiliate network and come across The Big Green Widget Company...a perfect advertiser to support your website! Within no time you will be earning sales commissions from your site visitors.
