Generating Revenue

Your website doesn't provide you with any income? Well here's how it can...

Revenue Apportionment

If your business has some regular revenue that it wouldn't have had without the website, then it should rightly be attributed to the website. This is called apportionment. Make sure you apportion some of your regular revenue to the website if it rightly belongs there.

Online Store

You can sell physical products through your website. This works best when your website is providing advice, information or other useful services on the same topic as the products you are trying to sell.

Advertising

You can show advertisments on your website. You could sell the advertising space directly to your advertisers, or let a third party do this. You can arrange to have lots of control or little control over the products advertised, the way the advert appears and the level of intrusivness it creates for your website readers.

Hits, More Hits, And Still More Hits

A 'Hit' is when someone sees your website. You get more hits if your site is: (1) popular, (2) well known, (3) linked to from many other sites.

The more hits you get, the more revenue you are likely to make, whichever of the above methods you choose.
