Ways to Make Money From Your Web Site
There are many ways to make money from your web site, producing multiple streams of income.
Sell Your Own Products If you have your own products, whether real or electronic, your site can pre-sell them, rather like a salesperson does, then direct the user to an order page /shopping cart to buy online.
If your product is an ebook, grab a copy of Brett McFall’s easy to use copywriting software program, that writes the sales copy for you. Brett is Australia’s top copywriter, and the software automatically inserts his secret and proven copywriting formula into the copy it produces.

eBay Store Open your own eBay Store and sell your own products. They can be physical products, or information products that you have resale rights to. A monthly charge includes domain name, own web pages, web page builder, listings through out eBay and hosting.
This is an alternative to building your own web site, paying for that plus hosting, and best of all, no need to optimize it for the search engines. eBay is already highly optimized and very popular. The total costs would work out less than your own site, with good results very quickly.
Dropshipping Dropshipping is where you set up a website to sell other people’s real products. You take the order, and receive payment. Your order is sent automatically to the supplier of the goods, who ships it to your client. You are in effect, a middleman. Your profit is in the difference between the retail price your customer pays you, and the wholesale price the supplier charges you.
