If you’re thinking of monetizing your blog or website then there are a few things that you need to keep in mind ranging from your options to different ideas that you can use to help you get profit on your site.
Consider Your Options
Firstly, the range of different options available need to be understood. One of them can be Affiliate Marketing, where you are paid not only if people visiting your website decide to view the ads but also when they decide to buy something from that website which has placed an advertisement. Another one might be Donations, where you can mention on your website how you’re willing to accept them if anyone is willing to help out – although this doesn’t have a high success rate if your website isn’t that popular, but there’s no harm in trying of course.
Some companies only pay however if people on your website click on the advertisements, and this can be comparatively less profitable. Another option includes selling your content. If it is well written and the information provided reliable, there is a high chance that you are going to profit from it. Paid reviews are another great way to earn money, where you are paid to write reviews about different products from different websites.
You Need Traffic
Secondly, it is important to keep in mind that your website needs to generate traffic at first, for it to make money. And this is only possible if the content available on your website is well written and easily accessible. People should want to read what is on the website at first, for them to later click on ads.
While content matters a great deal, entirely covering your website with advertisements is one thing which will not work in your favor. Monetizing your website is a long and slow process which requires your commitment.
It is important that you realize that placing a huge number of advertisements will not necessarily help you make a profit, and on the other hand it might drive people away because of the advertisements which make it difficult to access the content on your website, for which they were there in the first place.
When to Monetize a Website
It would definitely be prudent to wait for your website to reach a certain number of clicks every day which will establish how popular it is and how many times it is accessed daily and then place advertisements. This process gives you a higher chance of earning more, as opposed to placing advertisements when your website does not generate that much traffic.
But on the other hand, subtle monetization from the start can save you a lot of time later. There is actually no rule as to how much traffic you need to make money from a website and you should never come to any fast conclusions without solid proof first.
Also how will you learn what sells on your site if you hold off on monetization?
Monetizing more of your website comes in later, when you know what types of advertising and products go well. Following a website advertising checklist (following the rules) and gathering website experience always equals more earnings.
Lastly, all these methods might work but it is important to keep in mind that monetizing your website is not an easy job, and requires your time – for example updating your website every now and then to make sure the information is not outdated. As mentioned above, people need to visit the website and like the content on it, for it to be successful in the first place.

The best time to monetize your online business, its when you have set all the things exactly and properly – on page set up done correct – quality content added and info that’s ready to attract and maintain the visitors – and obvious a good off page set up..

Most of the bloggers display advertisements on their blogs from day one, even when their daily visitors are almost nil. This shows their inclination towards money rather then setting up a good content website or blog. In my view, you should have at least 200+ page views a day and then focus towards advertisements or affiliate marketing.

I totally disagree! Then you have more work to do when you decide to monetize and in the mean time you have missed out on sales… If you have to wait for 200 people to visit your blog to make money then you haven’t monetized it correctly. Targeted visitors to the right content equals instant sales.

I find that monetization is more of a process than anything. People think of it as a flood than a trickle that takes time and testing to build. I’m doing advertisements and affiliate marketing. I have text links throughout my site. I have one banner in the side bar for a product I love and I have other banners in the post if appropriate. It’s a process that takes time and I am not waiting until I get X traffic because I will have lost out on good sales by then. The math is pretty compelling.
Thanks Mitz!

I’m with you. No sense in waiting; that’s just giving money away. Any time I start a new website, I start with a few basics – AdSense and Amazon links. Sure they won’t bring in much if there’s no traffic… but how can it hurt?
Now if you’re trying to sell adspace yourself (through Buy Sell Ads or something), then it makes sense to hold off until you have some kind of traffic numbers to lure buyers with. But the beauty of PPC advertising is it doesn’t matter if you have 10 views a day or 10,000; you can show the ad, and you get paid if someone clicks on it.

Well said D.
There is definitely no maths equation that will tell you when to monetize. I have made sites and made $1000 in the first month.. Image if I had left the work until later????
It all comes with experience though….and just like building a list, monetizing needs to be done asap. I still kick myself for not doing these sooner on my first websites.
Also each stage of a website requires a different type of advertising. Like Brian says, selling ad space takes a bit more time.

Hi Mitz,
One should not place ads etc until he gets good traffic, specially Google Adsense, and Monetizing should be effect your readers.

Joe Clark recently posted..How a Pro Blogger can balance his blog and personal life

I agree that Adsense needs traffic but talking about a product or service, adding an affiliate link in text only takes one “buyer” to make a sale. I have one blog where I get 7 people to a page and can make one sale from that. It is nuts but depends on what you are selling and how you get them there.
People need to think deeper about a purpose and not just post content for no reason.. There should always be a goal number one and a backup goal…
For example I get traffic to a page, I hope the visitor is targeted and buys through my affiliate link… If not there is a banner discretely placed, then the last option is for them to leave with a free ebook. I would be happy for them to take the free ebook as I can still have a chance at my first two options.

It difficult to know what to monetise the website. Some say that you should wait till you get 1000 unique visitors a day while some say to wait till it has an alexa ranking of less than 100,000. Some say that you should start it from the very begining. But I think one should wait.

Hi Mitz,
Nice article,When we talk about monetizing then we should use come sense when to start monetizing simple logic according to me.Generally, when you want to sell something first thing which you need to do is a place from where you can sell.
Than you need consumers to come to your place to check out the thing.Than you can sell if You have good quality product.
Blogging sense
Place to sell – Blog
Consumers- Visitors
Awareness about the product by informing – By increasing readership quality and working on content
More the visitors more the chances of sells, clicks, deals.
Thank You

I have been trying to monetize my site for couple of months, but still nothing. I have a decent number of pageviews. But really I love writing so I don’t really care if any money comes out of it or not.
Adam recently posted..To Succeed or To Fail?
Twitter: buildwebsites1
That is great if you do not need money from your site..but making money will come when you the hang of it.
Not picking but this might help..
For example I looked at your comment love link below your comment. I wondered what “to succeed or to fail” meant..? To succeed at what? How can I be tempted to go to your page if I do not know if this is something I want to read about. Not saying all your posts are not tempting though.
Then I went to your blog and took a glance at the post… Still not clear by glancing or even reading the post. (sorry for the honesty)
I guess the post could be about:
Striving for success in life and knowing when to fail…
Failing gracefully vs striving for success that is never going to be there.
I would go into more detail about the topic as it raises many questions.
Then I would suggest further reading and lead the reader to amazon for a book about success.
Wow, thank sfor the reply. The title was sort of intentional. Because this way you have no idea what it’s about until you visit the site. But other than that I totally agree. Thank you
Adam recently posted..To Succeed or To Fail?
Twitter: OddRandomThots
I second what Adam said. I do not rely on advertising to sustain my blog, but I think if you can make a few bucks while you’re at it, then why not. There’s no harm in trying as long as you’re not overcrowding your content with adds. I think if done subtly and styled to fit in with your blog, then there’s no harm done. Like Mitz said, I think it’s best to start as early as possible, that way not only does it save you a lot of work in the future, but it allows your readers to become accustomed to seeing the advertisements. After all you can’t miss a add free site, if it never was one. If that makes any sense.

I think people expect ads now days but despise too many poorly placed. People understand now days that big blogs cost money and need revenue to grow.
We all should take a look at our own blogs and websites from a visitors point of view. That is the key.
Mitz Pantic recently posted..5 Facts About WordPress Website Security
Twitter: OddRandomThots
You know Mitz, as simple as that statement sounds (We all should take a look at our own blogs and websites from a visitors point of view.) it’s actually quite brilliant. I think most times we as bloggers forget that one simple concept. Even though I realize I should look at it that way, sometimes I get so wrapped up in making sure my posts are formatted properly and I’ve implemented SEO the best I know how and all that jazz, that I forget that main concept. Thanks for the reminder!
Robert recently posted..Is it Safe to Pick your Nose?
You definitely need some traffic if you want to make money. I guess it might vary for niche, product, and visitors from one site to the next, but no traffic equals no revenue. I know some people think adding more advertisements will make you more money, but I think like you mentioned there can be too many which may drive visitors away too. Nothing wrong with trying different locations and different products or programs to promote either.

Hi Pantic,
The best time to monetize your blog is actually when you think you are ready for. You’ll never learn until you’ve tried.
For low traffic blog I suggest “selling things” are better than “ppc banner/text”. By selling a product (your own or affiliate) you have better chance of ROI from commissions. The basic in selling online is that you don’t need to be the best seller in the universe, all you need is timing and finding the right people to buy. I’ve got this lessons from interviewing Mavis Nong.
Furthermore this understanding has helped me earn extra $2,000 from affiliate marketing in 9 months. It’s not too awesome result but it earn me some cash with only 2000 monthly traffic average on my blog.
That’s why I emphasize on “when you are ready”. If you think you are ready to monetize now then do it. But don’t just do, you have to evaluate periodically on the efforts to gain the best result.
Thanks for the post

Aasma recently posted..MLM Software Delhi Noida Gurgaon
Contrary to some of the comments here, I dont think there’s a certain time when one should start to monetize their website. In fact, I recommend doing it from day 1. Putting up a couple of Google ads, if nothing else. However common sense says that pages should never be littered with advertisements, and there should be a reasonable amount of content on a page before you think about putting an ad up there.

Why not create a website today that looks like it has been there for a while. Creating a website that looks new is just too obvious. Get your foundations put down straight away and that includes advertising. You should know what you want to sell and which content matches what product.

Hi Mitz,
Another nice article. This just came to me at the right time too. I agree about too many ads on a site. It drives me away for sure and I’m sure others to. Sometimes I can’t get away soon enough (click, click..get me out of here!). Nice to hear your voice on the video too. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

This is a nice summary for those starting with monetization for sure, it explains the basics of site monetization, without getting in too much details and confusing the reader.
I agree with one rule in particular – monetize when there is enough visitors coming to your site. I pray every day for google adsense program to add some minimum traffic/day limit for a site to be part of the program. It would clean the internet from all kinds of crap pretty much imediatelly.
This is great article.So many “monetization” articles are heavily biased towards doing it no matter what and paint[I think] too rosy of a picture. I find this to be honest and realistic which is refreshingly encouraging.

The decision to monetize your site also depends upon the nature of your website. If it’s the one dealing in sensitive information, then there should be proper consideration regarding the channelization of data through separate streamlines is required. Site having static content which delivers only a part of the information, despite of the requirement of the user is not at all fit for the decision.

This was a great article and the video showed me valuable insight on how to generate more traffic to my blog. I am still learning about SEO and how it pertains to getting ranked high in Google. I won’t give up though because I am going to succeed no matter what. I also think other newbie bloggers should have a positive attitude on the whole blogging opportunity. I see to many newcomers like myself quit or give up within a couple months. My opinion is that progress is what makes people successful.

Great advice, Mitz. As a web site owner, you should start out concentrating on producing valuable content first and getting traffic. Only after you have a good amount of traffic coming in on a regular basis should you attempt to monetize the site. But as they say, you have to give first to get. Thanks for the tips.
