Tactic #1 - Sell Advertising
This is definitely one of the most common and one of the simplest ways to monetize a website. With that being said I am not a fan of ad revenue. Google ad words does not pay fair rates. Also, to get real advertising deals you need to have a lot of traffic. If you already have lot's of traffic there are better ways to monetize a website.
Tactic #2 - Sell Products
You can sell physical products (e-commerce) or digital products (d-commerce). E-commerce requires you trading a physical product such as a tee shirt in exchange for money. A digital product could be selling an e-book, a webinar or some kind of online software. Both options are great business models.
On that note, be sure to check out my personal tee shirt line called New Lyfe Clothing.
Tactic #3 - Sell a Service
A website does not necessarily have to sell a product. A site can be a means of selling a service. The website you are on right now is a marketing tool to sell my online coaching services. You could use a website to sell real estate services or accounting services. Whatever the case may be, a website is always a great marketing tool.
Tactic #4 - Sell Leads and Data
This tactic can get complicated but it is a great way to monetize a website. This tactic definitely requires some in depth programming knowledge and a good understanding of search engine optimization but if it's done right, a lead generation website can be a steady flow of amazing income.
