11 Working Ways to Make Money with a Website

Today is the age of internet. As a result, almost everyone is getting interested in hosting a website for their own profile, business, blog etc. But how much of them really know that they can also make lots of money from it for a long time? Let’s suppose they know, but do they know how to make money from it? The fact is, they waste several months just to find out these ways and hence also wastes a lot of revenues of their own.

The other available articles on the internet in this topic confuses everyone with their heavy writings. That is why we are here with 11 easy and working earning ways with a website of your own. These ways are as below:

1. Advertise Publishing. This is the easiest and the most popular way to make money with a website. If your website is getting good traffic, then you can apply for advertise publishing. All you need to do is, join any advertisement publisher website, they will give you a certain code based on your choice of ad type and you need to put that code in your site in a suitable place (check their webmaster guidelines well before placing the code). Within a few minutes, you will see ads (relevant to your website content or the browser cache) appearing right there. You will be paid based on the clicks and impressions those ads get. Here is a list of websites that you can use to publish ads (Remember, Google Adsense is the most popular and the most used website for this).
   • Google Adsense
   • Yahoo! Publisher Network
   • Chitika
   • BidVertiser
   • Clicksor
2. Sell Advertising Space. You can also sell your website’s space to advertisers directly. The advantage here is, you yourself will select the cost of publishing the ads. Hence, you can make more money from it. But there is only problem to use this service and that is, you must have a good amount of traffic (around 50K views/month at least) already in your website to apply for this service. If you have, then just go ahead with these two most popular sites for this service.
   • DoubleClick by Google
   • BuySellAds
3. Affiliate Marketing. It is another very popular choice for any website owner to make decent amount of money. Here you will be showcasing the products of other companies as if you are selling. When any of your visitor clicks on these product ads and purchases, you will get a cut. Is there any hard work involved? No, not at all. All you need to do is, join any of these affiliate marketing websites and start displaying the products of your choice using the code they’ll provide.
   • Commission Junction
   • ClickBank
   • Azoogle Ads
   • Link Share
4. Go Online. If you have a business or store offline, you can also run it online as a website. But this type of website developing is hard for a common man. That is why, you need to consult any web developing agency or any professional of this market. They can easily set up your business online. Their services would take some amount of money out of your pocket, but later it would worth the investment as you will be earning both online and offline. It is also one of the most practical ways to drive clients or customers to your business as Google will show you up in local searches more often.
5. Job Boards. This is another great way to make decent amount of money. A lot of popular bloggers are using this service and they do get loads of bucks for it. If you have a good traffic, you can also start your own job board and set your own prices from $5 to $50 (it depends on the popularity) for every job posted. Here is some of those web-based applications for this purpose.
   • JobThread
   • SimplyHired Job-o-matic
   • Web Scribe Job Board
   • Jobbex
6. Providing Services. If you have a special talent or if you are specialist in any task, then you can use those learning in making high amount of money for you. For example, if you are a good web designer, you can easily get some website designing jobs which can pay you from some hundreds to thousands dollars per website sitting at your home with your website. Is not it great? Just ask yourself what you can offer others online that will be useful and of low cost and also of good quality comparing with others and go ahead with that.
7. Sponsored Reviews. If you are a blogger, you will love this one. Here you just need to write sponsored posts on specific topics or products. You will be paid for each posts you write for the sponsors. But these posts will be published on your own website. If you have enough audience, you can also offer direct sponsored reviews cutting the commission for the middleman. Here are some websites where you can get such sponsors.
   • PayPerPost
   • Sponsored Reviews
   • BlogVertise
   • ReviewMe
   • Smorty
8. Email Marketing. Just after launching your website, you should always create a newsletter for your fans to receive news about your site and related topics. These newsletters can also help you in making some extra bucks. You just need to use websites like,Amazon.com as an affiliate. Here you will choose which product you want to market and they will give you the proper link with your affiliate id attached. Now, you need to post these links as a part of the newsletter emails that you will send to your fans. Remember, the product should be relevant to the email as it will naturally get them interested towards purchasing it. Thus how you will do it.
9. Paid Membership. You can always offer paid membership in your website if your website has some rich contents that is very helpful for a large number of people. Or your website can also be a special kinda forum or a specialized social network. You can also go for a free version and a paid version access in your website which will give your income even more rise.
10. Website Selling. Suppose you checked the website www.facebook-forum.com and it is available to purchase. Would you miss this opportunity to purchase it. Obviously, not! As this domain is highly close to the popularity king facebook.com, it will naturally be favorite to all those who want to host a forum on Facebook. Thus, you can sell this domain at a much higher price than what you got at, keeping a good cut. This sounds odd, but if you google there are some thousands of people who do it by purchasing the domains for a long time, so that they can get their desired price from the seeker.
11. Donations.If your website provides some good services to people, then you should not miss the chances of receiving donation for your good work. There is no certainty that you will receive donations but many one have got success in it. As we all know, its better to have 20 than 19, then why miss the chance?

You just saw the eleven working ways to make money with your website. Hope you will start using these soon. Let us know if you have any queries in the comments box below. By the way, thanks for reading this! Have a good day!

5 things iOS 7 can still learn from Android

iOS 7 isn’t going to ship until later this fall, but we did get to peek into the future and see what we should expect, and it’s not perfect. Based on what we’ve seen so far, here are five things that iOS 7 can still learn from Android.

Too colorful

.The iOS 7 homescreen reminds me of a bag of Skittles. It’s an explosion of unrelated color — everywhere. Color in and of itself isn’t a bad thing, but it’s got to be done right. The color pallet that Apple has chosen with its new iteration of iOS is “too pastel” and washed out. This gives the phone — what we’ve seen of it so far — too much of a “plastic” look.
Android uses a unified color-palette to bring consistency across the entire OS. It’s bold and it’s not pastel. Of course OEMs can (and do) mess with Android’s user interface, but the pure Android experience is fairly elegant in its uniformity

Not colorful enough

Not to contradict ourselves, but iOS 7 also sheds colors from areas like the calendar, keyboard, and mailbox. Common applications are gray on white, giving the impression that some parts of the UI were designed for an eBook reader, not a high-end device with a Retina Display.
Android, while keeping its interface fairly “flat” hasn’t gone as extreme in its “blandness” as iOS7.

No third-party sharing

One of the biggest features in Android is your ability to share virtually anything almost anywhere. I can share a contact card (for example) to Dropbox or Google Drive, to a QR code on my screen, via Bluetooth, by Gmail, or I can even make an NFC Tag out of it. If that’s not enough, I can install an app that will give me more sharing options.
How about a picture? I can share an image via Bluetooth, NFC, MMS, Picasa, Email, Goggles, Pinterest, Google Keep, WordPress, Google+, Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Facebook Pages Manager, Facebook itself, Dropbox, Google Drive, Plume, Twitter, and even “NIA Super Ops” (Ingress). This list varies by what I have installed on my device, and your list will be customized to what you have on your device. Apple’s list? It’s whatever they tell you it should be — nothing more, nothing less.
Ironically, Apple’s own Newton OS introduced the concept of “sharing” years and years ago — they called it “routing”, but it did the same thing as Android’s sharing mechanism. I wonder whatever happened to the developers who wrote that elegant bit of code?

No custom default apps

iOS comes with a web browser, but you can also install any number of third-party web browsers if you don’t like the one that’s built in. While that sounds great, applications that include hyperlinks will still open those links in the default browser, not the one you prefer. Now apply the same logic to maps, image handling, and so forth, and you can see where iOS is missing the point.
Android not only lets you set the default app handler for various intents, it also lets you unset those defaults whenever you want.

No support for new connectivity

Nothing I saw today showed me that Apple products will be able to share content or make purchases via NFC. There were no hints that IR ports will be supported in upcoming products. Wireless charging is still nowhere to be found on Apple’s smartphone or tablets. For all of those things you’re going to need a device made by someone else.

Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie vs iOS 7, features

Although new high-end smartphones are always eagerly anticipated it’s easy to forget that sometimes it’s the operating system that can really make a phone shine. This year we’re looking forward to the arrival of Apple’s next major mobile OS upgrade to iOS 7 along with the next major Android upgrade, 5.0 Key Lime Pie. With this in mind we thought we’d take a look at Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie vs. iOS 7 and some of the features that have been foreseen for each.
Although nothing has yet been confirmed for either of these upcoming operating systems it’s widely expected that iOS 7 will be introduced at Apple’s WWDC event in June and that theiPhone 5S will be the first device launched running it. Meanwhile Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie is expected to debut at Google’s I/O event in May and it’s rumored that the Nexus 5 smartphone or rather mysterious Motorola X device might be the first to launch with KLP out of the box.
It’s a fact of life that with the current competition in the mobile world no matter how good the hardware of a phone is, software features can be equally as important. We’ve already received plenty of comments to previous articles about possible features and wish lists for Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie and iOS 7 so we have an idea of what many of you would like to see. Product Reviews has also come up with an interesting look at anticipated features.
Looking at Key Lime Pie first, some possibilities include a Night Mode for conserving power, Game Mode for optimum power when needed and improved performance profiles. There could also be more support for multiple devices and an enhanced touch keyboard. Other features we’ve previously discussed include improved Voice Assistant, a video chat app and improved back up.
For iOS 7 possible features include additions to the lockscreen, fingerprint software technology and Apple Maps 2.0 as well as a better battery performance via software tweaks. We have also previously noted the possibility of enhanced app management, ways to hide apps, smarter auto-correct, quick reply, widget integration, pop-up toggles, pull-down icon menus, iRadio and more.
iOS 7 should be particularly interesting to many as former Apple hardware design guru Sir Jonathan Ive has moved over to the software side and so the complete look of the new OS may have received an overhaul. This would be great as iOS has been accused sometimes lately of looking a little stale although of course it remains to be seen exactly what influence Ive has had in this department.
We’re really interested to hear your views on Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie vs. iOS 7. Do you think that Google, or Apple, is more likely to come up with something that could win users over from the opposite platform? Have you a wish list of features you’re hoping to see for KLP or iOS 7? Let us know with your comments.

iOS 7 vs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

Today at WWDC 2013, Apple confirmed rumors of a completely new, and visually overhauled version of their mobile OS with upcoming release of iOS 7. Apple calls it the “biggest change to iOS since the iPhone” and has has finally done away with the realistic shiny buttons, leather, and felt. The new user interface is much more simple, colorful and places a greater focus on minimalism and typography. Sound familiar? It should.

iOS 7′s new look is almost the same minimal user interface Android users have been enjoying since Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich debuted back in 2011. It was then Matias Duarte showed the world his beautiful “Holo UI” which placed emphasis on a simple, minimal design as well as the all new Roboto system font. This was seen as a rebirth for Android, (oddly enough, Apple calls iOS7 “a new chapter for iOS”) which typically relied on its utility rather than its good looks.

Android users are used to Apple biting off the OS, waiting for Google to do all the heavy lifting, before they swoop in and rebrand these ideas their own. Whether it’s multitasking, or their “Notification Center” –  we’re starting to get used to it.

Since Apple is boasting the upcoming iOS 7 update as “the world’s most advanced mobile OS,” we figured we’d put that claim to the test. Let’s take a quick look at the UI from iOS 7′s all new applications, along with their new features and see how they compare to the current reigning champ, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Home screen and lock screen

First up, iOS’ trademark lockscreen is now gone. Almost feels less Apple-ie not seeing it there (especially after they went through the trouble of patenting it), but they’ve really committed to minimal with their latest version. Nothing but text, and directions to “slide to unlock,” it’s plain and we can’t help but wonder how much more functional it would be with widgets.

The homescreen features a lot more eye candy this time around, with bright, flat, colorful icons that look very similar to the color pallet used with Google Play. The homescreen actually works with the gyroscope and when you tilt the phone, allowing you to almost see behind the icons. You may remember how jazzed I was to show you guys this feature last year with a free app called 3D-Effect Live Wallpaper. Yeah, it was pretty sweet. What’s next Apple, live wallpapers? Guess they gotta save something for iOS 8.

Apple says, they ran out of “felt and wood,” for iOS 7 which gave me a chuckle. While iOS 7 is definitely very minimal, I wouldn’t quite call it “Holo” or even Metro. There are no sharp edges to the design and everything has a very rounded look, more in tune with the UI from Any.Do (now available on Google Play) or the MIUI custom UI.

We can’t help but wonder if Apple was taking a jab at the competition when they said, “We don’t add features simply because we can… We add features only when they’re truly useful.” My take away was Android is apparently chock-full of features, but not all of them are actually useful. Guess Apple really loved our quick toggles because….

Control Center

Yes, quick toggles to quickly turn on/off basic system functions is one of the most useful features ever. I’ll admit, this also took awhile before we saw it integrated into stock Android, but like most things, we’ve been enjoying these since the early days of TouchWiz and Sense many years ago. We’re glad Apple finally found them “worthy” of including into iOS 7.

Mail, Weather, Messages

Like all the other apps, mail, weather, and messages were given a visual overhaul. Mail and messages now look very minimal and clean (gone are the hideous bubbles conversations we’ve since since iOS 1) and from what I’ve read, now feature swiping gestures to delete.

The new weather app was given a lot of attention during Apple’s presentation and while we admit, it is flashy, we’d just like to point out the fact that this is the same Yahoo app already available on the App Store and looks about as nice as the Sense 5 weather application. Something tells me Yahoo wont be updating the Android version of their app anytime soon. The thing is when it comes to weather, most Android users are used to not having to open an app to view it. We have the weather on our lockscreens, homescreens (and in Sense 5, BlinkFeed and app drawer) — so why go through the hassle of opening an app (unless you want extremely detailed info) when it’s always viewable at a glance?

Camera, Safari, Siri

Camera has gotten an all new look. There’s a lot of transparencies and yes, a more minimal UI. Users can select to crop a photo ahead of time for easy to posting to Instagram, and filters viewable in real time make it easy to post hipster photos directly to social networks without having to rely on Instagram. Of course (you knew this was coming), Android users have had multiple camera applications available in the Play Store that mimic this functionality to a tee. Apps like Camera 360 perform all these “new” iOS 7 features and more.

Safari has been updated with a smart search field that works similar to Google’s omni search bar. It’s also been updated with Google Chrome-like 3D tabs, which we found interesting. Whether you’re on iOS 6 or Android, you might want to try downloading Chrome for all these “new” features and more (tab syncing, games, etc.).

Siri was also given a revamp, and where some Android OEM’s have gone out of their way to copy the old UI (I’m looking at you, Samsung), it’s now super minimal, with a kind of glass UI that allows you to still see your homescreen underneath.

Apparently Siri’s also been given a bevvy of new features like better Twitter and Wikipedia integration, as well as the ability to pull up searches directly from, uhhhhh.. well this is embarassing….. ummm,Bing. I did like the ability to choose between male or female Siri in a variety of languages, so Apple definitely gets points there. Overall, Google Voice Search is improving everyday and because Android is becoming more modulated, users no longer have to wait for an entire firmware update before they can get updates with the latest features. This means Google Voice Search has the potential to advance at a much quicker pace and we’re sure something Google is focusing on.

iTunes Radio

Apple has also introduced their new iTunes Radio which some are labeling a “Pandora killer.” It offers the similar functionality, allowing users to listen to music stations and buy a songs on the fly. It’s ad-based, but for iOS users who sign up for iTunes Match (where they store their music in the cloud for streaming), can get it ad-free. Google recently updated Google Play Music with similar functionality, giving the app the ability to play music stations, purchase music, stream music stored in the cloud, oh — and/or pay $8 a month to stream all the music they want, when they want. Boom.

AirDrop

AirDrop is probably my favorite feature from iOS 7. Basically, it’s makes sharing photos with other iOS users a wonderfully simple process. If someone near you is in your contacts, you simply select the photos/videos/files you want to send, then the contact and boom. You’re off. Android Beam has been around since Android 4.0 and allows you to beam photos, contacts, webpages, and apps to another Android device using NFC but in my usage has been rather finicky (especially with smartphone cases getting in the way).

We’ve also seen similar implementations from manufacturers running custom UI’s on Android, but tapping devices together seems almost barbaric vs wireless. Because not every Android device has NFC built in, that too is a downside. Fortunately, there are other options like Bump which allow you to send not just photos, but share any file on a device with others (protip: you don’t have to physically bump devices to transfer, just shake them near each other).

Multitasking

Apple has finally got on the ball and introduced multitasking across any and all applications downloaded from their App Store. It took them awhile, but it looks like they’ve finally caught up to Android by simply keeping all apps open in the background. Their implementation is visual very similar to WebOS, allowing for the user to pull up cards of all the apps opened in the background, swiping them up off the screen to close them out. It’s definitely pretty but again, something Android users have been enjoying for quite some time now.

Calculator

While all the iOS 7 systems apps have been spiffed up, I just found it interesting how visually similar their new calculator app was in comparison to Androids. While it’s true, there’s only so much you can do with a calculator UI, if they rounded out the corners it’d be less obvious where their app drew its inspiration.

Conclusion

The point of this post wasn’t to simply trash Apple or iOS 7. I was genuinely excited to see something new out of WWDC and was kinda bummed out to walk away empty handed. Like some of you, I actually enjoy a good fight and I know that good competition fuels innovation and pushes companies to try harder and deliver even better products. While it’s sad to see Apple no longer the “innovator” they once were, Android users now have OEM’s like Samsung and HTC to turn to for new ideas in terms of hardware and software.

You’ve really got to hand it to the Android developers, they’ve really done an incredible job at making Android not just functional, but beautiful as well. So beautiful it seems Apple is now looking to Android for design ideas, instead of the other way around. When it comes to the next version of Android _._ Key Lime Pie, Google may have only to outdo themselves.
