Don't get a website...
Until you have read this very important and totally FREE advice
Apart from gaining sales from your site using your products and services, there are several options open to you to make a few extra pounds. Depending on how successful your website is and how many hits you receive to it, you could create a small income from selling advertising space on your site. There are companies out there who will find you advertisers looking for sites based around what products or services you provide without encroaching on your business.
Another form of advertising to consider is through the Google Adsense program.
It's extremely simple to set up, you just create a Google account, choose which type of advertising you want on your site, copy and paste the code onto the page you wish to run the adverts and Google do the rest. They automatically work out from your site content what your website is about and then run adverts they feel your visitors may be interested in. Google Adsense really is one of the best forms of earning a small income from your website. You may only get a few pence per click, but if your visitor ratings are high or if you have several websites with Google Adsense placed on them, it could turn out to provide you with more than just a few pounds.

You can choose the shape, colours and sizes of all the Google Adsense adverts so that they fit in with your website's design. Google pay you upon clisks to your their adverts. You have to earn over £50 in a month for them to pay out, however, if you don't reach this target your earnings are carried over onto the next month.
If run properly you can generate enough income to pay for the cost of running your website, such as hosting.
I have several websites all with Google Adsense programs on and between them I generate an average of around £300 a month. This is steadily increasing as I add more sites to my portfolio.

MAKING MONEY FROM YOUR WEBSITE
Other forms of advertising:
Affiliate programs may be worth a try, I don't find many of them have worked for me that well, but for some they have so worth at least checking them out.
The way it works is you set up an account with an affiliate manager such as tradedoubler or affiliatemanager. Then you go through a list of companies and choose which one or which products you wish to advertise on your site. It goes without saying, make sure that you are advertising products or services related to your website.
You then pick the text based advertising or banner for your site and add this to your website using sinple HTML coding. It's similar to the Google Adsense in that you get paid to attract customers to that particular comapnies services or goods. The only main difference being is that a majority of the affiliate programmes only pay out once that customer has made some kind of purchase. Google Adsense adverts pay out for the customers just clciking on the sponsors listings.
Another way to gain advertising revenue from your site is to approach other businesses who may find it beneficial to them to have an advertisment feature within your site. You would however need to be generating a substantial amount of unique hits to your site to persuade another comapany to part with money to place a feature within your site though, but sometimes persistance pays off too!
There are strict rules when displaying Google Adsense advertising on your website. The main one being DON'T CLICK ON YOUR OWN ADVERTS. You will not generate any income for yourself, all you will succeed in doing is getting yourself banned!
Done in the right way, Google Adsense can enhance the look and feel of your website as well as earn you a tidy little bit of pocket money.
