The Affiliate Masters Course. Check Out Other Monetization Models.

Your Most Wanted Response may be to have your visitor buy from one of your merchants. But what if you visitor doesn't want that product today? Instead she notices another one of your offerings.

This is a WIN-WIN situation -- your visitor is happy and your Web site is steadily bringing you a stable income.

Some of the following monetization models will be as low-maintenance as affiliate programs are (i.e., no product to develop, store, ship, support, etc.). Others will take more of your time.

Which will work for you? Only you can decide the best fit.

Let’s do a quick overview of the possibilities…

• Google’s AdSense Program -- AdSense is tailor-made for Theme-Based Content Sites. Combine participation in the AdSense Program with membership in two or three quality affiliate programs and you have a solid monetization base in place.

How does AdSense work? Upon acceptance in the program, Google selects relevant ads for you to place on your Web pages. You are paid for every ad clicked upon. For complete details about the program, visit…
