How to Monetize a Blog with 1,000 Visitors per Day?

by cTory
14 replies
Hello, I have a website with 1,000 visitors a day, and I can't make any money. I am sorry I keep bugging people to help me on this forum, but I don't know what to do.

1). I tried promoting affiliate programs at paydotcom. 500 clicks with no conversion.

2). When I was trying to be a publisher on cpa networks, I was denied from Clickbooth, Neverblue, Maxbounty, Hydra llc/Adknowledge Compliance, and Azoogleads/Epic Direct Network. I couldn't get into PeerFly, because I can't find no one with a camra. I got approved from YeahCPA, but most Warriorforum members don't know what that is. I got 200 clicks with no conversion; even my manager was wondering why I had so many clicks with no conversion.

Is there any way to make revenue on my websites besides cost per action networks and affiliate programs? Here is my website: www . shellclick . com. Users keep saying how a nice blog that I have. I believe my niches are targeted.

    Dude, sorry to say it's junk. I can see why you were denied from all of those CPA Networks and that should tell you something.

    STOP wasting time doing what you are doing and refocus. Offer quality and informative posts on your blog, not what you currently have because what you have doesn't have any impact on people.

    It's hard to read... The black background and white text is not natural and very hard to read.

    There is no focus at all. It's just a bunch of cut-and-paste sentences and makes absolutely no sense.

    1,000 visitors a day - that kinda traffic would thrill anybody! Well i checked out the site, you do have monetization methods in place such as ads, offers, etc..

    There's the saying that "if you throw enough mud at the wall, eventually some of it's going to stick", but with with 1,000 visitors a day - that's plenty of mud, so something needs to be tweaked obviously.

    Few questions/suggestions:

    What's your target market exactly - people who want to make money from home, other internet marketers..? Maybe you could try to have more targeted monetization offerings?

    Have a clear explanation of what the site is all about on the front page. Besides seeing "commissions" and "affiliate" text around - I honestly don't see what the site is all about. If you checkout clickbank.com, groupon.com, or livingsocial.com - they have a link dedicated to "How it Works". People want simplicity.

    Best of luck.. hopefully you'll get a good round of brainstorming from this thread.

      Well, users did compliment how good my blog looks, and comprehensive, they love it.

      It is okay if you are not a fan of dark background with white texts. Some people like them, some people don't.

      Yeah, I have to find something else out besides cost per action ads.

      Sure.

      My target it all about helping internet marketers sell online, like reselling digital products, selling wholesaler goods, etc.,

      There is this internet marketer I learned from that makes big profits online. His name is Marcus Cambell, he doesn't even need an "about page," but I'm going to create an about page since you mention it.

        You definately don't need an "About Page" for Landing Page or Squeeze Page type websites - but for a website with with several pages and offerings like yours - it could be good to guide them through to your "call to actions". Just make sure its SHORT and to the point.

        Even better... since you have your target market identified (you know what they're looking for) then just just ensure that your flagship "call to action" product is right in front of their face when they arrive to your site.

        I think CPA is a great monetization method.. maybe you just need to present it differently.

          I don't know what you mean by "call to action."

          I need to present CPA differently, how?

            Ok, you have 1000 uv a day and no motization at all.

            So:

            1) Place AdSense immediatly. It won't make you rich but at least you will start getting some $ in.

            2) Get some affiliate products (from any CPA network or Clickbank, Commission Junction etc) related to your blog subject and put some banners on your pages and links in your blogroll (don't put too many but select good converting products)

            3) Get an autoresponder, place a widget with the web form on your site and offer a free ebook or a product with useful info for your niche. Then consider building a mailing list and follow your subscribers (do not only collect emails but be useful for your readers)

            This could be one way to start monetizing a little bit.

            Hope this helps,

    I agree with AYongMillionare and FaBiz.

    Adsense can help to bring in money with your traffic, takes a few days to approve your account though.

    Autoresponders you can consider aweber or getresponse. they are about 30 dollars a month.

      I don't know about GetResponse but i use Aweber and it is cheaper than that.

      Affordable Email Marketing - Price Your AWeber Account

      There are different plans from 19$ monthly, 49$ quaterly and 149$ per year.

      Also i just see there's a 1$ fee for the 1st month.

      P.S.
      That's not an affiliate link i am posting

    Second what AYongMillionare and FaBiz say.

    What is the source of your traffic? PPC, organic? Seo traffic converts best.

    Also, keep in mind that the internet is full of automated blog comment spamming. I realized it as soon as I installed an anti-comment-spam plugin for my wp site. And voila all those "compliments" were removed to the spam folder

    How on earth are you getting 1,000 uv's a day to that? You've only been blogging for a couple months and it looks like your content is copy/paste?
