How to Create a Website Revenue Plan
- 1). Log on to the control panel for your website.
- 2). Navigate to the icon that provides traffic statistics. Click on the icon to bring up the traffic data for your website. Review the numbers. Determine the number of unique visitors to your website by month from the traffic data.
- 3). Calculate the money earned per website visitor. Divide the amount of money you currently make by the number of visitors. If you make $25 for every 100 visitors, that equates to almost 25 cents per visitor. If you make $25 for every 200 visitors, that is equal to 12 1/2 cents per visitor.
- 4). Set a goal for the amount of money you want to make per month from your website. Set weekly goals for the website, such as $25, $50 or more per week. If you currently make $25 for every 100 visitors, to obtain the $100 or $200 per month from the website, create a plan that increases traffic from 100 visitors to between 400 and 800 visitors per month.
- 5). Choose a website revenue model that works for your purposes. A website revenue plan can include a donation button, subscription services, advertising, affiliate product recommendations, your own product sales, cost per action revenue items or a combination of these items.
- 6). Choose one or multiple avenues to develop more traffic. Outsource or create back-links to your website by logging onto other similar websites and leaving comments with a link back to your website. Create articles and distribute them to article websites that provide "do-follow" links to your website. Create Web pages on any one of the free websites and link back to your website. Develop a social media website page to link back to your website or bookmark your website through various bookmarking sites.
- 7). Optimize your website to make it easy to rank high in search engine keyword results. Choose three highly searched, but low competition keywords using any one of the free online keyword tools such as Market Samurai, Google's External Keyword Tool or Wordtracker's keyword tool. Search for words that receive at minimum 3,000 searches a month for the exact phrase with competing websites less than 50,000.
- 8). Implement the weekly marketing plan to increase traffic by setting weekly goals such as creating five highly-targeted keyword articles, five website backlinks from free websites and five backlinks from websites from comment links.
