Summary: I have numerous ways that I am currently making money off of my websites. On my appraiser blog I sell info products, related services as well as affiliate products and services and even a little adsense. This video is a continuation of Video Episode 2b Multiple methods I use to make money off my websites The AMC directory is not the only way I make money off of that website. It is true that it is $100 for the book and you get the electronic version as well. However, I do sell just the electronic version alone for $79.95. I also have affiliate products and services on the website that I make money off of and some pages have Google Adsense. There are really high trafficked webpages within the blog that I do not have any products or services for – just much more information. I will put up adsense and people could clink on links and I would get a little tiny bit of revenue that way. The main way I am going to double the income on this website over the next six months is I am creating a series of additional products and you can do this with any industry. Making Money Through Affiliate Programs What really works well with my appraisers is just to get them more business and more customers. That is the way it is going to be with almost any type of blog that you write, unless you are focusing on a product. On those product ones or the hobbies, you are mainly going to be focusing a lot on information. Then they could buy guides if they need them on how to modify something, like maps of certain locations – how to guides. There are a lot of different products that you could create for your customer base. You are probably going to make the majority of your money through affiliate programs – selling products. Or you are going to purchase those products yourself and resell them. Or you are going to get products made somewhere and sell them. There is a huge variety of ways that you could make money off of your blog. Off of this I already have a link to another website that I have made called appraiserwebsites. I just throw out some quick blogs for appraisers with WordPress blog with like five pages. It is a static. It is actually not a blog. It is a static website using WordPress. It has basic things like the order page, information, services, service area, about page, contact page, and their home page. I optimize it usually with an optimizer plugin, built into WordPress or added to WordPress and I bring in a residual income that way. The website is originally worth $29.95 a month and I just got tired of hassling with expired credit card numbers and staying up on top of people that did not pay their bills on time. So I just made it a flat $260.00 a year and that is pretty cheap and it is to a point where it is really not worth my time to create those types of websites but I do love the appraisal industry so much and I really appreciate the people that have helped me and I really like to help people in general. For $260 a year, I will build an appraiser a website and get them listed in the search engines. I really am trying to show people that are interested in how powerful the Internet could be if used properly that I am willing to take a pay cut to show these people. Whatever you put out there has value, even if you are practically giving stuff away. It is going to come back to you one way or another. It just always does and so that is kind of the mentality that I work by. Inexpensive information products for upsells In addition to the appraiser websites, I have a new info product. It is only $25 and tells people how to get the most out of working with an appraisal management company, how to negotiate with them, and what to do when problems arise. It is a pretty big report. It is about 25 to 30 pages. It is just filled with information that most appraisers would never think of or consider. One big consideration that I found is that if I turn down all that lower paying work,
