So, you have your website idea, you know what your going to offer, now lets think about how your going to generate revenue from your site.
Hard Goods: Obviously if your selling a product you want someone to make the purchase. If you have followed along with the various general concepts, website concepts your site is full of CONTENT that makes visitors feel that your offering the best thing since sliced bread. Selling things will be easy if you get traffic to your site. Getting Traffic to your site will be discussed in the SEO, SEM, SERP, and General Internet marketing techniques. But if you have hard goods that your selling on your site, the sales pitch on your site should sell the product.
Soft Goods: If your offering soft goods on your site generating revenue can be done in a couple of different ways and or both ways. One is to use like I do here and have ads from Google, Yahoo, or other ad service put ads on your site that when people click on it you get a commission on the click. These are Pay Per Click ads and they will be discussed further here in this section. Then there is pay per inclusion types of ads these are advertisers that are paying you directly for either links or for graphics with links to their sites. These are usually more profitable, but both are valuable to generating revenue. The amount of clicks you get depends again on how many people visit your site. Another way, that is used less is the pay per view, much like Pay Per View TV people have to subscribe and pay a fee to view the site. This works if you have the right kind of site, generally an adult site is something people are willing to pay to view. The more visitors, the more clicks, the more you can charge for direct ads on your site.
Attracting Visitors is the key and that is what this site is really all about. Getting you set up so that you start to get visitors and customers as quickly as you can.
