Top Five Cool Ways to Monetise the ‘Net

[by COMMANDER ENTERPRISE]

Generating online revenue involves time, dedication, knowledge of its system, and some creative thinking. Almost all types of online revenue generating businesses and schemes are already in place, and to get a good but honest money making scheme online going, one must think of other ways that won’t go the congested path. Trying to get a share can be difficult and frustrating, since everyone already has an established online presence.

There are two types of money-making online: active and passive revenue. The former needs a regular online presence and basic management since it actively deals with buyers online, while passive revenue generates money even without the need for an admin to be there 24/7.

All it needs is a good, initial set-up and only periodical checks just to see the current status and to manage the current revenue generated.

Sell
Selling stuff on Ebay, discogs, Facebook marketplace, carousell, et al has made tons of good moolah for many people over the years. If you need money, sell stuff online. One has to keep up with prices, buying trends, hot items, knowledge of the trade, and most importantly the target markets to establish a good online store.

It pays to listen to established sellers for their experience and advice, so that the seller profile gets a lot of good reviews that attract and gain the trust of more customers. It also is advisable to post complete information and good photos of the items for sale to give customers and potential customers all they need to help them decide a purchase. Other sellers will even include a review or trivia to hold their interest to that item.

Once a batch of items are in place it becomes a form of passive income, and all that one has to do is monitor buyers and watchers once in a while and check for purchased items, those with a current active bid, or those that are on watchlists. Ebay is search-reliant, and people hunting down for certain products can see the listing easily when the details and information are correct and complete.

Website Advertising Space
All blogs, sites, and pages for writers, artists, musicians, labels, small companies and such that have attractive and traffic-generating content are also potential income generators through advertising space. Writers can choose the theme or topics, or just have it random, as long as the content attracts a
lot of visitors. For every niche topic or theme, there is an audience out there for it, one just has to scout and attract them to the site.

Some preparation has to be done in order to promote the site and collect regular visitors that will up the site traffic. Then, once established, advertising space can be offered and then set up, which will automatically generate income passively. Once this has been taken care of, one has to just maintain the
site and post regular content and the advertising money will automatically come.

In order to strengthen the campaign, there are many ways one can direct or re-direct traffic to the site, which leads us to the next one…

Click based advertising
This type of advertising, as well as all those malware, spyware and viruses from social media links come from the same source – click advertising. It has to be an attractive or interesting link that catches the attention of the people online enough to warrant a curious and interested click.

However, for this, we won’t be offering any of those bad things, but good content instead, in exchange for website hits that up its advertising, and to keep people coming back for more. A person posts an interesting link or page with content, people check it out and click on the link, and it generates money for the poster, and the site. The site can be from the poster who shared the content, or from another person’s site.

These sites can interlink as well and help each other to maximise traffic and benefit from each other’s strengths, and that of which then leads us to the next one…

Affiliate Advertising
Let’s say the site does good and is now a regular income generator online. People with similar sites that have good content and can generate good advertising can link together and help each other cycle the traffic, creating more hits for everyone involved, and each site benefitting from each other. Affiliate advertising helps everyone in the group by sharing and re-directing traffic to and from their affiliatesites, generating money for everyone.

Affiliate advertising shows up on Facebook for example, usually as additional, related links after one checks out content or a link posted. It could also be posted on the site, after viewing the content, usually on the bottom.

Right after clicking on interesting content, it further piques the interest of the person by offering more content related to the first one, and then another. It is a clever advertising trick to make sure traffic is maximised as much as possible over all affiliates, giving equal share of the revenue. Youtube has a similar system, where, after viewing the video, more suggestions to other videos and content are provided.

YouTube
Speaking of YouTube, the site generates massive revenue from its advertising, since it has become THE multimedia default site for all kinds and types of multimedia content. Those who generate good multimedia content, or have good multimedia content that features their work or are about them, and not necessarily directly theirs can set-up great passive online income, especially those who do videos and multimedia for fun, which is something that could be described as an active hobby or a productive pastime, but one that brings money as well. Videos have direct advertising on them, or on the advertising space provided on the side.

Video and multimedia content makers get a considerable slice of the online pie every time the video is viewed around the world, or if an artist, musician, band or group has a video of them that generates heavy traffic from their advertising. All the account owners have to do is similar to maintaining a site, which is regularly upload good content, link it up and spread the content virally over social media. All clicks and visits automatically loads ads on the side, as well as ads in-video, sometimes as one full ad at the beginning, or in the case of full length videos, a few or several, in-between, especially those who are streaming whole albums made up of many tracks.
