Hi Guys, in case you missed part 1 and part 2. Go back and read them first before you start reading this part about how to make money online with a image host. This is a pretty long post so I have kept it on its own. This sections has to do with monetizing that damn image host! After you read this section you should be able to have a fully MONETIZED image host.

Monetization:

Now come the nitty gritty of the actual ebook. The monetization section. It is important to talk about Monetization before the traffic because you should have the ads on your site before you move to promote your site.

There are 5 ways that I have been monetizing my inmage hosts, you do not have to implement all of these you could pick and choose the ones you need. They are:

1. Adsense

2. Adbrite

3. Azoogle

4. Link Sales

Adsense is the obvious choice to go, but you must consider one thing with adsense. While you may get over 10-14 THOUSAND impressions a day it will lead to very FEW CLICKS. Seriously people coming onto image hosts for some reason do not want to click on an adsense ad for some reason. It is beyond me. Don’t believe me? Check out these 2 adsense screenshot for 2 of my last sites. As you can see there are alof of daily impressions but not that much has been made from adsense.

 

As you can see from the screenshot there are a lot of impression but no earnings. This is not to say that you should not have adsense on your site because every once in a while you will get a click for $1.00+ that makes it all worth it.

Here is a screenshot from my second site that should drive the image home for you:

 

Adbrite is what you will have to use to pay your server bills. After finding out that I was not making enough with adsense to cover the overheads I started looking into other advertising mediums. I thought that a CPM advertiser would be a good way to go because of the fact that I was getting over 12k Impressions a day. So I decided to give some of my advertising to adbrite. The good thing is that you don’t have to worry about users clicking on ads for you to make money. You just have to have the ad displayed there and you will get paid. Another thing that you must remember to do is turn ON the interstitial ads so that if a user is viewing more than one page you will also get paid for that. I started out with one banner in my footer and then added 2 more. On top of that I also removed all the adsense ads and replaced them adbrite.

Here is a daily screenshot of the earnings I achieved with adbrite.

 

And here is a daily screenshot:

Azoogle. Now this is a big boy. You only have to consider this if you have found a good campaign that you think will convert well on a image host. Because you wont get paid for impressions, and you wont get paid for clicks. You will only get paid when and if a customer converts for the advertiser! So think of it like this, they come to your site. See an ad that interests them, click on it, and fill out a form as simple as submitting a cell phone number or there zip code. Or as complicated as a 4 page questionnaire. Obviously you will get paid more if it converts but it is also a lot harder to convert. Think twice before giving up your adspace to this one.

Link Sales are a nice and lucrative way to make some money as well. Im not going to go into too much detail about it here but if you click on this link you will see the DigitalPoint thread where I sold the links as you can see it is a nice way to add some monthly revenue to your site.

W00t! 75% of the work is now done. The only thing left is to get traffic to the site now. Usually I would never give out this type of information but because its MY eBook you all should KNOW!
