Diversifying Your Income Stream

Expanding your online income is one of the essential things you should learn when you have a website.

Let’s say 90% of your website profit come mostly from Google Adsense and your account got suspended. What would you do if you lose 90% of your online earnings? For most people, it would be very difficult to recover.

If you have a website, you can diversify by using pay-per-click, direct leads, CPA or cost per action or by getting commissions from promoting products or services.

One of the easiest methods for a beginner to start producing money on the web that is fast and easy is through CPA (cost per action) Marketing!In order for one to bring in money, this type of affiliate marketing requires the consumers to complete a particular action that the advertisers would want them to do.

So how does CPA Affiliate Marketing work and, more importantly, how do you make cash from it!

Essentially, you act as a traffic broker and CPA networks take the role of the middlemen. For the leads you create, you get a commission from that specific company. The major difference with the typical affiliate marketing and Cost per Action affiliate marketing is that there is no need to make a sale to get earn big bucks. What you have to do is to make the surfer perform as the advertiser would like him/her to. It is always easier to get a prospective buyer to provide personal data or visit the website of a company (especially when there’s a free sample or product that goes with it) than make a purchase. Therefore, with CPA marketing it is easier to make a conversion. Because it’s so profitable, CPA marketing can be highly competitive.

Expanding your online income also consists of creating other websites. At this time, I have a number of websites that I build income from. Almost 4 months back, Google banned one of my sites from their search engine! Among internet marketers, this is a ordinary happening. It seems that they regard my site as a link farm because of the loads of outgoing links to sponsor ads. Just then, I was making about $1000 a month for that website.Imagine what could have happened if I didn’t have my other sites to pick up the slack?

Having them on various servers is another way of increasing your online earnings. These days hosting is dirt cheap. Let’s say you throw one or two of them up on a $5.99 a month server and pay for a year’s worth of hosting, then you’re on the right track. Not only does it have search engine benefits, but if one of your servers should go down, not all of your sites are down at once.

So remember to diversify your income and you’ll be happy when you’re having a slow sales month on one of your affiliate programs, all of the other ones may just pick up the slack!

SEO Success Story: From a local factory to a regional distributor

In June 2013, we added a new project to our portfolio: Crystal Chocolatier. The task assigned to our web agency and SEO company was to build a website that will make it to the first results on Google and generate business leads to the chocolate factory. It was a challenge as Crystal Chocolatier was, back then, a small chocolate factory located in a Lebanese mountain serving mostly individuals in the neighborhood. Wanting to expand their reach to the region, they decided to have an online presence that targets retailers. So our job was to create and optimize a website that targets chocolate shops in the MENA region searching on Google for a chocolate provider. Challenge accepted!

A year after developing the website and setting up the SEO strategy for specific countries, we witnessed an increase in traffic of around 350%. About 88% of these visits were generated by Google and other referring sites. For those that are not familiar with the term, referrals are a source of traffic coming from manually placed links on other websites. Furthermore, less than a year later, the website’s visits witnessed a growth of 65%.

The challenge wasn’t simply to generate traffic, but to attract quality visits of potential business leads. Therefore, the keywords our SEO experts carefully chose corresponded to the mostly searched expressions on Google by chocolate shops. Today, the new factory is competing with established brands, like Patchi and Souchet, by appearing on Google’s first page of search results. Terms like “chocolate factory Middle East” and “chocolate Lebanon” became the main source of visits to the website in several targeted countries. Consequently, traffic from the entire region increased, for example, visits from UAE grew by 200%.

As a result of this positioning on Google and the increase of relevant traffic, more businesses started contacting the chocolate factory to request their products. Crystal Chocolatier experienced a growth of more than 100% in leads directly from the website. The number of phone calls and emails from prospective clients also increased since the SEO strategy’s implementation.

Google recently updated their search algorithm to make mobile-friendliness a ranking signal. So, to maintain their ranking, the factory’s website was amended to adapt to mobile screen sizes. Today, Crystal Chocolatier reached their goals by competing with well-known brands. So, when done properly, SEO helps businesses achieve their business objectives.
