In this 4-part training series from the experts at Wealthy Affiliate, my favorite instructor, Jay, will show you the different ways you can earn revenue from your online business. You’ll also learn how you can scale your business by using the super effective strategies he covers in this training.
Earning Revenue from Your Online Business
This course contains these 4 live classes on ways to make money with your online business:
Class #1: Steps to Earning Revenue with Your Website. This class will walk you through everything you need to know about earning revenue with your website and how you can scale the process.
I’ve been a full-time affiliate marketer for almost 10 years now. When people ask what I do, I tell them, then they look puzzled and say, “Well…where does the money come from?” LOL!
Class #2: Earning Revenue with Affiliate Links. Using affiliate links to earn revenue on your website is more than just placing affiliate links within your content and hoping people will use your links to buy products.
In this class, you’ll learn everything you need to know about earning money from your site using affiliate marketing.
Wealthy Affiliate specializes in affiliate marketing. I’m a full-time affiliate marketer as a direct result of their training. I have two huge, super successful websites. I monetize them with affiliate links as well as the other monetization strategies covered in this training.
Class #3: Earning Revenue with Advertising. In this class, Jay will show you how you can effectively earn revenue from advertising on your website.
He’ll talk about whether it’s realistic to earn a reasonable amount of money from ads and whether ads take away from affiliate link sales.
This can be a confusing and even controversial topic. Some people think you should put as many ads on your website as possible to get the most clicks for ad revenue.
Others think giving your website visitors tons of ads to click on, thus sending them off to some other site, hurts your business in the long run. Some suggest inserting banner ads that lead to your affiliate links instead.
My two cents? I personally do a mixture of everything. I have ads running on my site and I receive a monthly check for that ad revenue. But I try not to have too many ads, as I personally find that annoying when I’m trying to read something online.
I also insert my own banner ads that go to my affiliate links, or better yet, my review of that particularly product (keeps them on my website.) You’ll learn a lot from Jay’s discussion on this topic in this class.
For training on how to measure the results from ad revenue, you might want to check out this training series, Google Adwords Conversion Tracking.
You can also watch this easy video lessen on adding Google Adsense code to your website.
Ok, back to the course description…
Class #4: Earning Revenue with Your Own Products. In this class, you’ll learn about possible drawbacks of selling your own products, plus everything you need to know about selling your own products (from start to finish!) Having your own products can be challenging, but you can certainly achieve it!
You should know that you can certainly have a successful online business without ever creating your own products (insert huge sigh!)

I joined Wealthy Affiliate’s Free Starter Membership almost 10 years ago, did some of the free training, then upgraded to the Premium Membership.
