Monetizing is done by several methods, they are

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.
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.

So, a blogger should decide the niche and target country for traffic, before he starts blogging.
Some of the best PPC advertisers

Their advertising policy differs to each other, and they are safe and legitimate.
2. Earn commission on Affiliate products
Affiliate commissions are another way to earn from the website.
On some websites, you might have seen like this,
This is nothing but the menu to register as an affiliate marketer for the company.
If anyone knew digital marketing, they can enroll sign up and earn commissions on each sale.
Bloggers provide reviews about some products on their blog and recommend to buy products.
Nowadays people (vlogger)use video marketing like youtube for reviewing the product and earn from the sale.
If a reader buys the product/sign up, or provide Credit Card/email information then blogger receives small commissions for that.
Affiliate commission percentage differ from product to product, based on the market value. Anybody can signup for the affiliate program, recommend a product, sale and make money.

Yes, you can sell the space on the website to other persons to post their advertisements or affiliate links on your website.
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.
You can also do the same to earn income.

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