“7 Ways to Convert Your Traffic into Cash”

Setting your website up correctly will allow you to profit from the site regardless of the amount of traffic you are getting.

The KEY is building a website that is simple and easy to navigate.

Here are 7 basic ways in which you can profit from your traffic today:

1. Sell a product/service

First you can sell a product or service to your visitors. This is the best way to cash in from your own product. Usually an e-book or software works the best – they can be downloaded right away without hassle and shipping charges.

2. Opt-In list

It is crucial you try to convert every visitor of yours to a subscriber of your mailing list. The most important asset that an Internet marketer has is his or her list of subscribers. They define whether you will go far in the online business venture.

With an opt-in list, there are tons of ways you can profit further into the future. You can build repeat customers and turn your list members into partners for your products.

3. Viral marketing

You can provide a free product or bonus on your site to be downloaded by your visitors. Usually it’ll be an e-book where people can read from and learn useful information. In this bonus, you include give away rights and urge readers to give it away to anyone they want to. This way, you increase your own traffic, publicity and branding without needing to spend a cent.

4. ‘Pay-per-click’

In this case, you get paid when your visitors click on ads you place on your site. There are many advertising programs that give you a percentage of the profits based on click through, including Google Adsense, Chitika, Yahoo Publisher Network and Kontera.

When people click on the ads shown from either of these advertising programs, you will earn money. And if your site receives good traffic, these programs alone can bring in huge paychecks to you.

5. Offer an advertising space

Targeted niche websites with high traffic can ‘rent’ a portion of space on their web page to advertisers. For example you can charge $300 per month in advertising fee if your web page is pulling more than 2000 visitors a day.

Other than that, you can also generate advertising revenue using exit pop-ups. By doing this, you won’t clutter your website with too many ads and spoil the visitor’s experience.

6. Affiliate marketing

If you don’t have your own products for sale yet, you can sell other people’s products instead and receive a commission on every sale. With affiliate marketing, you have an unlimited source of products to sell and you don’t need to go through any fulfillment issues after your sales.

7. Pay-per-lead

Instead of earning money from click through, you are paid if your visitors subscribe into other people’s mailing list. Alternatively there are a lot of big companies like Coca-Cola who need surveys to be done, and by referring your visitors to complete surveys, you can also earn good profits from your website.

No, blog is not a bad word.  It kind of has that sound though.  “You are nothing but a low down BLOG!!!! “ Actually in today’s world that may be a compliment.  Blogs have become a major avenue for the exchange of ideas and information.  Originally, not too many years ago, blog designs was rather rudimentary but as time has passed blogs have become more and more sophisticated and so has blog design.

Just as when developing a website, when developing a blog you need to do your homework.  Think through what you want and the type of information and ideas you wish to communicate.  The key is then to effectively communicate this to the blog designer.

In most cases your blog designer will be the same person that develops your website and the two projects are integrated.  Make sure the blog designer talks to you about all the features that are available.  In today’s fast changing world there may be features that are available that you are not aware of.

I am from the old school of communication but have I become dependent on blogs to both receive and transmit information.  I can’t say I am an addict yet but I may be moving that way.  I am spending enough time looking at many different blogs to know that their designs vary radically and their usability is directly affected by this.

Remember do your homework and research about what you need and want as well as who you hire to be your blog designer. You will get what you pay for.  Don’t expect a Cadillac and only want to pay for a Volkswagen, but a good blog designer can give you more bangs for your buck.

I wasn’t going to post this on my blog but since it was photo manipulation and it is something that any web designer should know how to do, I did take a look at what they were doing.

It was originally going to be a quick peak but as I noticed myself spending more and more time on the site I thought what the heck, maybe others would enjoy photo manipulation with a sense of humor as well.

So, we have the Italians Cristian Girotto and Alberto Raviglione who spent some time working on personal projects with s bit of a sense of humor.

I’ve been blessed undeservingly by God, when it comes to my web design business and my life. Over the years I’ve hired some really talented web designers and they have helped in making my business what it is today.

I am often asked where I get my ideas for my websites as well as my content for my blog. The truth is, I’ve never had an original idea, they are started elsewhere and then I add my own little twist. A lot of the inspiration for this site comes from abduzeedo.

He has some really great artwork on his site and I use it for inspiration and ideas for my posting. He currently has a case study from a young Irish designer/illustrator Jonathan Wong on his site.

You can check it out here and the artwork below came from that case study as well.
