HOW TO MAKE CASH WITH A WEBSITE
There are many ways you can get rich by running a website. It’s just a matter of time and persistence. Here’s Cashtown University’s list of the best ways to make money through your website.
NICHE WEBSITES
If you don’t have an idea for a website yet, but plan on creating one, think about looking into a niche market. Niche markets are basically a specific group of people with a specific similar interest. Niche markets are usually groups that are not targeted by mainstream providers, or big businesses. They are often seen as too small by these companies. There are opportunities for niche sites whenever a new craze begins. Some niche markets include specific hobbies and interests, product types, common problems, and more. Just find something that interests your or that has great possibility of profiting.
TEXT ADS
By now you’ve probably become familiar with Adsense. It’s on most sites nowadays and you encounter it almost every time you surf the net. Adsense, the text ad service by Google, is basically the various text ads you see in the sidebar of most websites. Site owners allow related text ads to be placed on their site and get paid for it! You get to choose the content of the ads so that they relate to your website and you get to choose the number of ads, the size and shape of the ads and the color of the ads to match your page. You get paid a few cents every time someone clicks one of these ads. It might seem like a small amount, but as your site traffic builds that few cents can increase to hundreds of dollars.
BANNER ADS
Banner ads can make your site look more “official” if you choose them wisely. Most established websites have banner ads, and it helps in showing that the site is worthy of charging for ad space. Having ads on your site lets visitors know that other businesses actually want to be represented on YOUR website. Only have ads that closely relate to the subject matter of your website and don’t let the ads overflow the page.

AFFILIATE PROGRAMS
You can get paid for referring your site visitors to products from other sites. It’s called an affiliate program. When a product from another site is sold through your site, you get a percentage of the sale. Almost every website that sells products has an affiliate program. Becoming an affiliate is simply promoting their products and getting paid for it. It’s easy as having an affiliate link on your website.
