As a Web site owner, we all want to increase our income. The
following seven methods can boost your income.
1. Join Affiliate Programs
You can select some affiliate programs and join them. In general,
sign up as an affiliate is free. However, you must select the right
programs to join. A good program for you must be related to your site,
e.g. your site is sport-related, you can join program selling
sport-related products. Also, make sure that you can get pay monthly.
2. Join Affiliate Network
It is time-consuming for you to search for affiliate programs.
Then, you can consider signing up as an affiliate of an affiliate network.
They already have hundreds of products and services for you to pick. In
addition, they will pay you monthly. E.g. Commission junction is one of
them. Commission junction can also pay you in one of 30 currency types
including US$,sterling,HK$,Thai Batt, and etc. For detail, Check it out at
Commission
Junction
3. Setup Your Own Affiliate Program
Setting up your own affiliate/associate program means you can
recruit large number of salesperson with very low cost. These salesperson
get paid only when they make sales/send visitors to your site. As a
consequence, your products have more distribution channel, thus, increase
your revenue. You can setup your own affiliate program by installing
affiliate tracking software like:
AssocTrac
ProTrack

network, check out

4. Write and Distribute a Press Release
A well-written press release let you get multiple exposures on
off-line magazines. It inevitably builds credibility to your site. As more
people knows your site, you can expect that you have more visitors. As a
result, you get more sales. If you are searching for professional in

5. Establish Partnership
First, do a research about your visitors and customers. In addition
to your products/services, what else do they like? Then, you search for
website offering such products or services, partner with the website owner
and sell their products/services. You can make commission then.
6. Sell Ad Banner Space with The Help of Advertising Network
If you have considerable amount of traffic but not enough of
selling ad yourself, e.g. 6,000-8,000 pageviews per month. You can
consider of joining an advertising network. They will find out the right
advertisers for you. Of course, the income is not very lucrative. However,
it may well cover your web hosting fee or even more. One of these
advertising network I know is Burst Media, their URL is http://www.burstmedia.com/
7. Improve Search Engine Position
If your site can get top 10 search engine placement, you can expect
a big jump in visitor numbers. However, I recommend you that visitor
numbers is not everything. You must get quality visitors. Hence, you
should focus on related and specific keywords. E.g. If you are selling
cheese, you must consider a top 10 position when someone type "cheese" and
not "food". A software called webposition gold can help you in improving
search engine position. Download the trial copy at my site

To summarize, Establishing multiple income sources and promoting
your site are the keys of increasing your revenue.
