Cost Per Action Advertising

Cost per action advertising is divided into two types as mentioned below:

Cost-Per-Click Ads:  CPC advertisements were one of the most prevailing sources of income since the invention of World Wide Web. It involves a small advertisement or a pop up which would grab the attention of the online visitor to click on it.  This would take the visitor to the home page of the advertisement.  Every time a visitor clicks on one of those ads (even when he does it trying to close window if you know what we mean) your website generates revenue

Cost-Per-Mille Ads: Cost per Mille advertisements work on one and only one basic rule – “Larger the traffic, Larger the revenue generated”. It obviously reaps higher payout than the Cost per click ads but hugely depends on the reach of your website. This would need time to build your fan base first before you could start reaping rich dividends from this.

Tools like Google ad sense and search engine optimisation are often used to build higher traffic and boost the number of visitors for any website having the above-mentioned advertising techniques.

Hold on, we have got few more techniques, last one is interesting and if you’re planning to make quick money from your website, you must try doing it.

Ad Space Selling:

Any website or blog can be developed with a space for advertisements. For example, if your website is all about cricket, a separate portion of your web page can be devoted to advertising products and services relating to cricket. It may be endorsing a Cricket Club or Cricket goods such as jersey and kits. This exclusive section for advertisement would carry a periodical contract for which your website would be paid fixed or variable amount based on the contract clauses (like traffic details). This would provide your website with a chance to churn out revenue on a constant basis over a period of time.

Email marketing and Lead Generation:

Any business entity would need new leads to thrive and grow in the market. Of course, marketing and advertisement help, but with the world going digital, generating leads on the internet are cheaper and more efficient in term of geographical reach and age bandwidth. Adding a “Contact Us” in your web page for visitors to enquire more about the product or service your website endorses could often be used as a lead by many companies or as a way to market their product through email marketing. Contact us, newsletter subscriptions, Promotion of third party articles etc. are some of the ways of generating revenue for third party clients who use your website to market their products.

Donations & Premium Subscriptions:

Are you an NGO and Social Cause-related brand? You’ve got to read this.

Some of the websites which are inclined towards education and NGO services often ask for a donation.

Make – Create – Sell – Repeat

There are takers for websites which have a wide range and craze in the digital world. Small time entities which do not have a website would prefer buying an existing one with good reach (provided the company and the website endorse the same line of product or services) to creating one from scratch.
