How This Website Make Money - And How Much
If you want to make money with a website then you need to provide something the visitor wants. A website is a business, the visitors are clients.
There are two main types of business – service and product. Some businesses provide a service (auto mechanic, lawyer, painter), while others provide a product (McDonalds, Walmart, Ford).
A website can make money by providing a service or a product. This website provides both. It is a content based website providing information to the visitor. The website gathers information about itself and as a service provides it to the visitor in a simple and easy to understand format. The visitor can takes the information and apply it to their own site.
This website also provides products. Visitors who want to have their own website can purchase The Website Starter Kit which includes a complete working website and 200 page ebook.
If you want to make money with a website you need to decide what kind of website you want to have. Will it provide a service, a product or both?
A Brief Description Of How This Website Makes Money:
Advertising
This website is a content based website. Visitors comes to gather information. Most of the visitors have a specific interest and need – this is called a targeted audience. Advertisers love targeted audiences because it is easy to sell to somebody when you know what they are looking for. So I have ads on this website targeted towards people who are looking to make money online. My visitors are looking to make money online, my advertisers have solutions for them. When my visitors click on the ads I get paid by the advertisers.
Product Sales
The typical visitor to this website wants to make money online. Some of the visitors have already started to make money online while others are thinking about starting. I created a product for visitors who want to make money with a website but do not know how to start. By purchasing the Website Starter Kit they will get a completed website (they just need to add content) and an informative 200 page ebook describing how to use the website to make money online.
Affiliate Sales
Being an affiliate is a simple concept. Somebody else makes a product and you sell it. They take care of all the difficult stuff: creating the product, delivering it to the customer, providing support etc. Your only task is to send visitors to their website and purchase the product. It sounds easy but it is not. The problem is that as an affiliate you have lots of competition – lots of people are trying to sell the same thing so you need to do a really good job of convincing your visitors to buy the product via your website. But the rewards are great – usually 50% of the total cost of the product.
This website sells affiliate products targeted at people who want to make money online. The affiliate products are ones that I personally recommend and that fill the need I cannot provide with this website and my product. My Website Starter Kit is for those that want to create a website. The affiliate products are for those that want to create a blog or that want a website but do not want to get involved with the technical aspects of creating a website.
Other affiliate products I recommend are the web hosting company that I use because they provide an excellent price/product and Amazon which supplies the books I read to learn about the website business. By combining my own product with the affiliate products I can provide for most of my visitors needs.

How Much Money Do The Revenue Streams Earn For Every 1000 Visitors?
-
NOTES:
- For every 1000 visitors that view this website, how much money does each revenue stream generate? This is an important number because it reveals which stream is the most valuable. Ideally each bar would be the same height meaning that each stream makes the same amount of money for every 1000 visitors. But this is very unlikely to be the case. Certain streams generate more money then others. Using this graph I can adjust the focus of the website. For example, if I know that the 'Website Starter Kit' makes the most money for every 1000 visitors then I will try to bring more attention to the 'Website Start Kit'. On the other hand, if I notice that the 'Amazon' stream makes little money compared to the others then I need to deceide whether to get ride of it or to try to drive more attention to it and increase it worth. The 1000 visitors have limited amount of time to visit this site - it is better to draw their attention to the streams that have proven to make the most money and get rid of the streams that do not make money. I want all of the 1000 visitors to focus on the best money making stream and not waste their time of the poor performing streams.
