If you’re looking for more ways to make money from your site to help pay for cheap web hosting, domains, etc. then this is the article for you. If you’ve read the first part of this post you already know that selling advertising is a possibility, but now I will explain a method that allows you to do basically the same thing, but without having to look for buyers.
This method is using Google Adsense on your websites. Adsense, a pay-per-click publisher network, allows you to place small text or image ads on your website, and pays you each time someone clicks on an ad. The great thing about Adsense is you make money whether the advertiser does or not. For instance, if someone clicks on an ad and immediately exits the window, you will still make money, even though the advertiser clearly did not. The specific amount of money you will earn per click depends on a number of variables, but it’s generally $0.10-$0.50 or so.
While 10-50 cents per click doesn’t seem like much, you need to keep in mind that a click isn’t that big of a deal. Even if you only have 50 visitors a day to your site, you will still probably earn enough to pay off your cheap web hosting each month. Plus, some niches or topics pay much more per click, so if you have a website in a more competitive niche, such as insurance, cheap web hosting, or finance, you can easily earn $1-$5 or more per click. No, Adsense probably won’t make you rich, but it’s a good way to reduce some of your monthly costs.
