If you want to make money from a small amount of people than you can, you just need to know how to monetize it. I know a few marketers who don’t get more than 300 visitors a month but they still make a five figure monthly income. How? That’s a great question, so lets take a closer look.

Start Building a List – This is probably the best way to monetize your visitors and your daily readers. If you have a blog with high quality information and people are reading your content, it will be smart to use the “post signature” plugin to ask the readers to join your RSS list. If you’ll take a look at the end of this post, or any other post you will see that I’m using it myself. You can’t even imagine how much money it will add to your monthly or daily income. People are not always aware to your RSS feed. If you simply tell them that they can get all the great information that you’re writing directly by email, there is a very high chance that they will subscribe. People are afraid to leave your website and to forget to come back, so if you offer them to join your vip list who gets updated about every post you write they will jump on the offer. Well, not all of them but you can expect 300% more subscribers a month.

If you have a website, and you can’t add a plugin to it, you can always use a pop-up window with a request to join to your list. Don’t worry, you are not going to get your readers mad at you, because you can use a nice pop-up that will not hurt your readers eyes or something. When you create your pop-up be sure to add a “close this window” button on a visible place so that people can just close it if they are not interested. Remember to create your opt-in attractive so that people will feel they are going to miss something big if they do not join right now. Make a call to action to force them to join, but don’t be to agressive.

After you have a list of subscribers than you know they are getting every post you write on your blog by email. That means that you must keep your promotions for good times or for a time that you are not going to write on your blog. You can choose two days a week for promotions instead of blog writing. You don’t want people to run away from your list. What you want to achieve here is flow of reading. If you can manage to take your readers into a reading flow than you are half way up on your way to success. For those of you who don’t really know what is a reading flow, it’s simply to make your reader wait for your articles. If you have high quality articles and you write 7 posts a week for example, than your RSS feed reader is getting used to read one post a day from you. If for some reason you don’t find the time to write a post in one of those seven days, you will see that you get people asking you what happend, that is a reading flow, when something is missing to the reader when he don’t get your peace of content, your art.

Use More Banners – Lots of webmasters and bloggers are looking at banners as something annoying to the readers, but I can confidently tell you that if you know where to locate your banners, and how to design them to fit your website, the reader will not get hurn from your banners at all.

The banners on your site should look like news and not advertising. If you’ll design your advertising banners in a “Just Launched, The Zero Friction Marketing” news way than your readers will probably click on your banners more, and while they make you more money they will be happy that you provide updated news on your website/blog.

Insert Your Adsense Into Your Content – If you still don’t have Adsense ads in every end of post on your blog than you should add it right now. You have to understand that you are providing free content for people and it’s more than”perfect” to use Adsense ads on your site. Go ahead and create your Adsense ads and add them into your blog. If your theme is not supporting Adsense ads automatically than you can always use a plugin to do that. Make sure to choose a plugin who lets you decide on the locations of the ads and their color, and when you choose the color for your ads choose a color that will not get people mad on you. Try to choose something similar to your blog colors so they can fit.

There are a lot more than those 3 ways to monetize your traffic. I will write more posts about this topic because it’s very important to monetize your blog. You are working hard to give people information, and you must see a return for your work. If you’ll not see a return for your investment you can be sure that your motivation is going to drop. If you really want to see that you can mae money online even from 10 visitors a day than try to put those things into action.

“I worked so hard for a week or so to produce 25 articles, I uploaded them to all the article directories I could possible think about, but I still don’t see any sale”

Does it sounds familiar to you?

Well, you are not alone. Most of the newbies to Internet marketing think that they can just write an article about any topic that comes to their mind and they will make money online in a snap. That’s absolutely not the case in the real life. If you want to make money online from your articles you have to write what people want to know, and not what you want to say.

a good friend of mine started Internet marketing 3 years ago. One day he came to me and cried that he spent over 18 days to create 67 articles about one niche that if my memory is not misleading me was the dating niche. He submitted his articles for 2 days writing a special resource box for every chunk of articles to test what’s the best approach to that niche. You’ll be surprised that from all those articles, from all that hours of working he made only two sales for a period of 6 months.

Why do I tell you this story?

Because I want you to understand that the quality is more important than the quantity. You can produce one thousand article for ONE niche but there will still be a chance that you’ll not get a single sale. Well, maybe one but not more

The thing is, you have to make a proper keyword research for your articles. When you’re producing articles about what you have to teach others that great, but it will not make you money. You need to look for search terms people type on search engines and create your article upon those search terms. We all know that if someone who is looking for quality content to learn something, and you lay it all down for him on the table with a good presell, you have a very high chance to make a sale from that person.

Create Your Content With The Best Quality You Can And The Sales Will Follow You Wherever You Go

That’s for sure. When you create a high quality peace of content, let it be an article, a sales page, or even a press release. When you put yourself into it and give your best, your results will be the same. When someone is reading the content you have created he has two options.

Option one : He will ask himself who is the crazy man who wrote this article and close the page. In some cases he will even remember the website name just to make sure not to come back to it. People hate invaluable content, and from the other hand, they will always get back to a reliable and valuable content.

Option two : The reader will be very impressed from your knowledge. He will feel like he knows you for years if you only know how to create that feeling in your writing. He will also be sure that you are an expert in your field and will probably check to see what else you have to offer and who are you from a deeper angle. When you reach to that stage with someone, that’s a 75% to get a sale out of him. Of course the sale can be made in all kinds of ways like from your resource box if it’s an article, an email campaign if you’re promoting an opt-in page, and all kinds of other ways you have in mind.

As you can see, creating unique content is crucial for your online success, and if you want to make money online, be sure to produce good content and your readers will reward you for it.

Blogging for your success,
