How to Make Money From Selling Products Off of a Personal Website

As long as you have a blog or a personal website, you can make easy money. It doesn't take a lot of time or work, but you do need to get your readership and page views up. The more visitors you have, the more likely you are to make sales and make money from your site. One way to make money is by selling items on your site. Whether you sell your own personal items or items from other companies, it's still possible to start earning cash quickly.

Instructions

    1

    Create an account with Amazon Associates, which offers a few ways for you to earn money off your personal website. You have the option of building your own Amazon shop for use on your page, adding a widget to your site or adding links and banners to Amazon products. Every time someone follows that link and buys something, you earn a percentage of the sale.

    2

    Advertise products as banners or ads on the side of your website. Google AdSense is one example of a company offering this service. With some websites like Blogger, you can even add the banners and ads automatically. You earn money based on the sales made from visitors of your site.

    3

    Work as a retailer of a specific product and build a page of your website around that product. Look for companies who need representatives, including Avon, Mary Kay and vitamin or weight loss pill companies. Add a single page to your site, advertising those products and encourage your readers to place orders through the site.

    4

    Sell your own products on a separate page within your website. Hold a virtual yard sale by offering the products you no longer want to your readers. Describe the items in detail and include a price list and the cost of shipping each item, along with how to order.

    5

    Offer to sell products from different companies on your personal website. These are known as affiliate programs and the owner of the company gives you the information and link for the product. You enter the link on your page and earn a commission for each person who follows the link and buys a product.
