Making Money With Content Sites
The most popular method for earning m0ney online with content-based
websites has been to blend Google Adsense ads in with your content.
Some people even create content websites to promote their own
product or service - using those pages to attract search engine
traffic and then 'leading' their visitors into the sales pages
that contain information about whatever they are selling.
Both
are ways of funneling targeted traffic to sales pages - either
your own, or a merchants page that you are affiliated with - with
the intention of making a sale and earning m0ney.
Smart marketers do one of two things (and usually both):
1) They use their content to PRE-SELL products/services
2)
They weave ads or promotional links into their content so that
they don't look like "blatant advertising" to their
visitors, but instead a valuable related resource.
Let me cut to the chase with you here... It's Saturday afternoon
as I sit here writing out this email to you. I hadn't actually
planned on it - in fact, I'm writing rather quick because I have
Sushi on my mind and want to get this done and go meet some friends
for a great meal and a nice evening out ;)
But
as I was surfing the net this morning, I came across one of Michael
Fortin's websites (if you don't know him, he's quite famous for
his success in the Internet Marketing field). The site got my
interest because, quite frankly, I've been doing a lot of things
behind the scenes with my own websites to increase my online inc0me.
There
are two things motivating me to dig in and put some "real
hours" into my online ventures again: 1) I'd like to capitalize
on all of the holiday sales over the next four weeks (of course!),
and 2) I plan to double my online inc0me in 2006 as part of an
overall goal I have set for myself.
I
imagine you're thinking along the same lines - it's just that
time of year ;)
Anyway,
I said I was going to cut to the chase - blah blah blah, right?
LOL Okay, here's the link to the site that I mentioned above:
Context
Cash
Why
did the site get my attention?? It's about "Dynamic Contextual
Linking" (pretty much just fancy words for "a new way
to make even more m0ney from your content pages").
The
web page that talks about it (Context
Cash) is 22 pages long. In case you aren't up for
reading through the entire thing, here are the highlights that
really stood out to me:
->
You can use it with a blog!
-> You can use it with multiple sites/blogs
-> You can use it to promote your own products/services/sites
-> They offer STATS (awesome!)
I have sold thousands of dollars worth of merchandise through
Amazon.com alone in the last two weeks (and that is one of 20
affiliate programs I have worked with so far this month). I promoted
those products "the hard way" - by manually placing
links & images on web pages... and then promoting those pages.
I
make sales through ClickBank almost daily. These are products
that I promote "the hard way", too. I generally set
up content pages to pre-sell products, and then work in images
and links to the product on the page.
That's why this "Dynamic Contextual Linking" really
caught my attention! Check it out for yourself: Context
Cash ... This could really be the break that you
are looking for!
I'd love to hear what you think!
