How do you earn revenue on a health site outside Adsense?

Hey Anton,

Since you already have an established site one brilliant thing you could do is search on social media for ''traditional'' health experts (since you say that you don't want to get involved with alternative medicine) who have a large following and ask them for an interview that you will publish on your site.

If done right this technique will not only give authority to your site but it will also potentially skyrocket your adsense earnings since you 'll be receiving FREE targeted traffic from the posts on social media that those experts will publish when the interview is done (to promote themselves of course but at the same time they 'll be promoting your site. It's a win-win situation)

Btw this technique that I just briefly layed out to you is being teached in courses that range between $297-$997.

So, I hope that helps ;-)

A large number of affiliate marketers in the health niche are promoting products they dont actually believe in themsleves. So promoting thse type of products, even if they happen to be genuinely good, could potentially do more harm than good for the reputation of a site that relies on integrity.

In saying that I have come across reports which suggest the really big sites in the health niche are not always as as impartial as they make themselves to be. In some cases, they've taken payments to write positively about certain drugs that did not have overwhlming approval.

Have you looked at the adsense ads that show up on your site. I would imagine that some of the products you do not want to promote are showing on your site once and a while. And as for main stream doctors not recommending such products is a bunch of bull. Many doctors recommend fish oil, so why not promote a good brand of that. They will also recommend glucosamine,

As well there are plenty of exercise video's and programs such as P90X. You can join weight watchers affiliate program at commission junction. Not to mention Amazon with exercise equipment, video's, health monitors. you name it. The potential products are endless. Just look for them

You might want to do a survey of your readers and get an understanding of what needs they have

Create a series of books that focus on those needs

You can make more money this way.

Kill the adsense ads and focus on monetizing your audience

Our site covers multiple conditions, so the scope for adding products is enormous. But like I say, most health products available online tend to be ones that are not produced by conventional drug companies, you know, conventional pharma, that have valid government licenses. I am not one to readily dismiss all products offered by alternative health companies. I am sure there are some that do a good job at providing solutions conventional medicine isn't able to, or offer a solution to people who like the fact that these products very often carry minimal or no side effects. But there is huge stigma associated with alternative medication often considered "snake oil". There are some good products getting hidden from view by tons of garbage out there. Nonetheless, its a big industry that is being exploited by dodgy entrepreneurs pumping out products that do absolutely nothing other than burn a hole in people's wallets, which damages the repuattion of the more genuine products out there. So you really have to mine out the few good from the vast number of bad.

That said I am thinking about creating a store within my site using the Woocommerce plugin, to feature few selected products from alternative health industry and also a few ebooks from Clickbank. I will of course carefully vet these products so they are as helpful as possible. But my worry remains impartiality. Perhaps I can warn people that I am trying to offer an alternative solution if they've exausted traditional means.

Away from alternative health, do any of you have any ideas how I can monetise the traffic with products that have some sort of association with the conventional health industry? Please bear in mind around 85% of our traffic comes from the US. Its okay for the massive health sites out there because they have connections with pharamaceutical companies (in the form of partnerships, even if they claim they don't) and big name doctors to tailor products and solutions for their readers, but what do us regular guys do?

Any further input?
