How I Make Money Online With Worpdress Websites – Part 2

By on December 16, 2011

Firstly, I have written an article about how I make money online previously but I did not want to add this information to that old post. Although the information is valid still, I thought that some readers might not revisit an old post and I did not want them to miss this stuff. This is a crazy business, building WordPress Websites full time.

Now even though I make money online, it is not all about the money, because if you think this way you will burn your audience. I never push a sale as I hate pushy sales people! I like to get involved with affiliate programs that are so good they sell themselves!

I probably shouldn’t be releasing this information but I know that there are a million ways for me to make money online and I always keep my best secrets up  my sleeve. (sorry about that!)

The Best Computer Software Affiliate Program

I have mentioned Spotmau software before but never said anything further. I have mentioned that it was easy to sell but that’s it. I am shocked at the progress I have made with selling this software and it is only selling on about 4 pages. I feel like flooding the computer related websites with this product as I think they know how to sell to people. Anyway Spotmau gave me some copies of the software I am selling now and I am testing them at the moment. Go and Join Now if you have a computer related website.

How I Make Money Online

The screenshot you see above is basically for two months. November is when it started to click for me. Now I can make $100 in a day from this software. Not all the time though but this is just the beginning! I am pretty excited about this one!

Selling Hostgator Web Hosting

When I showed you guys the real life WordPress website case study I was using Commission Junction to create affiliate links for a site I had made that sold web hosting. Well that was fine but I realized that most of my sales were Hostgator web hosting so I decided to go through them directly to earn commissions.

It was a risk though, as Cj.com pays $100 straight for a sale, whereas Hostagor has a sliding scale. Therefore for the first month I only got $50 when I could have had $100. (Ouch!)  On the second month I got to the $75 mark. If I had invested more time in this I probably could have done it but…I am slack. Then in November I just scraped it in for 11 sales to get $100 a pop. I still have odd sales of hosting in Commission Junction too as there are other hosting companies like Fatcow and Bluehost that I still get through there.

How I Make Money Online

I didn’t make 21 sales but I did make 11 which will land me $1100.

Advantages to Selling Hosting Directly Through Hostgator

  1. You get to see what actual page the sale came from. All you have to do is hover over where it says link. If you press on it you will be taken to the page where the sale came from. This gave me a big fat clue as to where to concentrate my efforts to get sales. CJ.com will just tell you the website name only. (unless you create separate SID’s for each link)
  2. You can see the actual domain name associate with the sale. This is highly valuable as you can see the finished products.
  3. You can see if a commission is valid in Hostgator but in CJ.com it just disappears.

How I Make Money Online

The screenshot below shows the details of my sales through Hostgator. I just got 11 sales which took me to the $100 level. Obviously the best way to sell something is to use it yourself and I have been with Hostgator for about 4 years now.

Making Money Online With Recurring Commissions

Again, I have mentioned how to find products on Clickbank with recurring payments and also how to keep making money from your blog even after it is sold. These are both great ways to make money online and it is also excellent if you want to do less sales and still earn money. So I am going to mention my favorite affiliate program again. Elegant themes of course!It is easy to sell and this you get a recurring commission if the person renews for the year. The program is so packed full of value that you would be nuts not to be a member.

Below you can see a screenshot of my total earnings for the year so far and I am hoping to get that commission next year on top of the new sales I make. Lets image that figure at 10,000 base for the year and growing. That is what I plan to do!

make money online with WordPress websites

If you are a website builder (like building for other people) the Elegant Themes package is only $88 for a developers license and that includes all .psd files too..  Imagine how professional you could look when you build a website for someone using this theme collection.

That is just another way to make money from Elegant Themes. You do not even have to sell this program to make money from it as this is an essential “tools of the trade” item you will need. I would always include Elegant themes in my Internet Marketing Toolbox.

Ok I hope this information gives you some food for thought. Even though my primary income is from Adsense, there’s no reason to not experiment with other opportunities.

    I did well in 2010 with a really nice Clickbank product, but I think the niche got a bit spammy and my commissions nose-dived in 2011. Also I don’t think the product vendor realised just what a great niche they had.

    You know I am not much of an affiliate marketer, but have made a surprising amount of sales in the last month with BlueHost. They have a great support staff just as HostGator. It is clear to me if I set out to do this for a living, your tips and tricks would guide me through the process, as they already have. Thank you Mitz! Congrats on your success.

    Great post. Very interesting to see how people actually make money from affiliate links. I’ve always been tempted but really our site is product based and adding affilliate links might look out of place. Regarding Adsense, I’ve tried using before but don’t really know how to set it up. At one point it was displaying competitors links on my wedsite!! Do you have a basic how to set up adsense article in your goody bag?

    Adding your Hosting Site like Host Gator or whatever host you use is a good starting point.

    Great article. Now who wouldn’t love recurring comissions!

    Webhosting affiliate is a great biz but having your own reseller hosting is even better. One of my friends moonlights as a freelance website designer who had a gala time as a bluehost and hostgator affiliate. He realised much later that he could have done much better if he had taken a reseller hosting and billed the clients himself directly. Needless to say, that is what he is doing right now.

    Thanks for all the tips. I have wondered how people do affiliate marketing. I was just using the Google Adsense advertising before, but I am thinking this is much more time worthy than the change Google sends back and the extra .5 a sec it adds on to load time really is not worth that much. Thanks again for the ideas and examples. It gave me many ideas.

    Hello Mitz

    Thank you for sharing another online income opportunity. I’ve been using Host Gator as my hosting service but haven’t tried selling it. I shared it to some of my friends and they also used it too. Reading your post makes me wonder why I did not do the same thing that you do right now. I could have earn some income selling Host Gator web hosting service. I believe it’s not too late yet so I better grab this one.

    I host with hostgator and am impressed with their support efficiency. Their affiliate program is also one of the most lucrative.

    I guess however that it is a volume game to make sales with their affiliate program like all others as i have not had much success, apparently due to my relatively lower traffic volume.

    I’ll keep trying though.

    Thanks.

      Yes I have some products. I have been very slack with them but lets just say they are worth making.. They take me about a day or two but continue to give me income over and over. I make a few sales a week but use to make more when I was focusing that way. I am getting organized now to promote more than is normally possible. I thought about doing an article on this and I will if I get time. It is a great way to make money by writing once and selling hundreds of times over.

    Nice ways to earn money! I guess the best technique you have here is the recurring earnings from themes. It’s something that you could really expect on a per day or a per month basis. No additional time investment on your part, yet you’re still earning money from it.

    I think you answered your question yourself, you wrote “make an income from working online?” The keyword here is ‘working’, just think about what you know about and which skills you have that are worth other peoples money. If you are good in graphic design or programming you could do this or if you are skilled in writing, you could write for money. There are a lot of freelancing opportunities on the web, for example odesk, elance or textbroker. If you want to make money with your own websites or blogs or on revenue sharing sites like this, that doesn’t happen over night! So, since how long are you trying to make money online and what do you do that is worth paying for?

    Great article and clear break-down of earnings. I too wonder what kind of traffic would garner a decent sort of payment on adsense. If I make 0.30 cents a day on adsense I’ve made a lot. Today I’ve spent 8 hours and counting writing, blogging, sorting out websites, commenting etc. This is by no means a good return.

    Hi Mitz,
    I love these types of posts. I should do one as well. Anyway I read this post and your first “How I Make Money” post and am wondering if you still earn $5K / month from Adsense?

    If you do, I’m curious how much traffic you receive each day across your blogs in order to generate that kind of Adsense income?

    I just added a few Adsense ads to a couple of blogs and it’s proving decent; however, I could probably dramatically improve Adsense earnings if I placed ads in more prominent places (I’m concerned about losing affiliate sales which is my primary revenue source).

    Thanks for the Spotmau suggestion. I love learning about new promotions that convert well and I love the fact they’re with SAS. If I decide to promote them, I’ll be sure to sign up through your link!!!

      Yes I have the Adsense too but I do not mention the traffic as this is irrelevant. I believe that the Adsense income is good when you have great traffic from target sources. I can get the same amount of traffic but if it is junk then the income is down..

      Overall on my blogs I get in between 15,000 to 20,000 visits a day. Some of that is not great traffic. I look after the the traffic that brings me sales.

      I also do not use Adsense on all of my blogs. I have sites that are purely affiliate income so that is what I concentrate on. If you do not get the right balance you will be draining one from the other. In some cases Adsense is needed and in other cases it is not.

    Great income sources you have there. Though I’m not into the money making niche I can still see the importance of monetizing your blog to sustain your presence online.

    This is an excellent guide for newbies. I have read your other post related to this one. I am trying to learn internet marketing concepts now. I have searched for few products on Clickbank. However, I could not find any good ones. I have tried to promote few products but in vain. I have a blog related to blogging niche. So I think elegant themes is a good one to promote. Thank you for your great tips.

    I am not an affilaiate, but sincerely figures like these surely makes me think to start with online welling also. I know it is a tough job and requires your undivided attentions.

    But those figures makes you think again :) ! I haven’t added ad-sense to my business site, plzz take a loot at it and advice whether i should or not? remember it is my own business not an affiliate site.

      I wouldn’t add anything to a site like this. Your main aim is to sell your glass products, not let your visitor leave to a competitors site. If you had a website about information on glass or how to website I would say yes..But not your own real life business. It does not seem right!

    What does that Spotmau software do? I too have one tech blog and would love to feature this. But currently I am not promoting any affiliate programs there. Perhaps in the future I might…

    NICE! Love the breakdown, and never heard of Spotmau (?) software. 11 sales at $100 a pop – as a HG affiliate myself I’ve not put in the time at all to make any sales w/them. Funny how a little focus can change all that, as you indicated.

    Pretty inspiring, Mitz!

      Yes..If only I focused! I really entered this program to get the $125 but I have too much work! I am getting help though.. I have invested in some more tools for SEO as that is the killer for me. :)

    Thank you for sharing the stats Mitz. I am yet to have any success with hosting affiliate programs. I should start a blog targeting other web masters. I recently signed up for Hostgator reseller program and their service is pretty good.

    Great tips! Especially the recurring payment one – as it has never crossed into my mind! Though finding one is probably not easy. Elegant themes is great but I think it suits well for “blogging tips” kind of blogs, and not techie readers like mine (though some of my readers are bloggers)
