Seeking Revenue beyond Advertising

Part of the process of adapting to the increasingly widespread use of ad blocking involves finding alternative ways to make money from your web traffic. Even if ad blocking is not yet an issue for your website, it still makes sense to transition away from an overdependence on advertising and to generate a more diverse range of revenue streams from your website traffic.

It is all too easy to fall into the trap of equating the level of advertising revenue with the value of the traffic on your website. Publishers of new websites expend vast amounts of effort in search engine optimization in an effort to attract visitors. If you already have a respectable level of traffic to your website you have a valuable asset that can be leverage beyond solely making advertising revenue.

Sell Digital Goods

Although the size of the online advertising market is impressive at around $28 billion, the value of goods sold by companies in the U.S. alone is measured in trillions of dollars. If you have not considered selling products on your site it is possible you are missing a significant opportunity.

The items that you decide to sell on your site do not have to be physical products. If you operate a website the chances are good that you know a great deal about the subject matter that attracts visitors. Consider writing an eBook on a subject of interest to your site visitors and selling copies of it on your site. Once the eBook is written the margin on each sale is close to 100% percent. A number of digital goods ecommerce services are available (e-junkie.com and paylaodz.com being two examples) for selling digital goods for download, allowing you to sell items with little more than product description and a purchase button.
