Create a Membership Website
Another way you can monetize your website is to create a membership for your visitors. This would require a membership website or plugin.
WPBeginner is an awesome resource when you are looking for the best WordPress membership plugins for your website.
Creating a unique login for your visitors allows them access to the resources, services or products you’re providing under a membership fee. It could be a one-time or recurring fee that the visitors pays to become a member.
It’s like the VIP Sky lounge at Delta.
Paid Ads + Ad Partnerships
We all know about paid advertisements because they are everywhere! If you want to join the Google Ads train, get your tickets. It costs money to make money, right?
If you go this route, check out Google Adsense, Facebook Ads and Twitter Ads. Of course, check your other social media sites as well. Ain’t no shame in getting a little help from friends in high places when you are just getting started.
Another route is to partner with medium-sized influencers who will swap ads on their site with you. This takes time, respect and persistence to make happen. We recommend doing this with companies you trust.
Free Resources + Killer Content
We live in a time when your website needs to bring value to your visitor in order to thrive. If you are straight-up selling your self and not providing valuable resources, they have no reason to trust you.
HubSpot is the best example of providing educational material to their audience. They have completely monetized their website by providing ways for their visitors to educate themselves and come back for more.
AisforA TIP: Make sure your educational materials provide actual value. Basically, provide your visitors with some really good stuff and they might remember you and come back.
Guest Post
We already went over how content is king. Now, let’s spread the content love by swapping guest posts with our nearest and dearest!
Choose a few of your favorite partners and ask about a guest post article swap on each other’s websites. This helps build backlinks, provides a trustworthy resource and builds trust with your readers.
Make sure your guest post is top-notch and full of those affiliate links! This is a big process and we know a few experts who may be able to help with this. If done right, it can really help monetize your website, we promise.
Job Listings + Hire Me Pages
If you are growing a business, you can always bring on new hires, contractors or additional help. Adding a job listing landing page is another way to monetize your website.
Adding a landing page or a hire me page really helps search engines find you and it helps you find other people! Making money on your websites may take a whole tribe! Hire smart.
