How to earn money with free content

Earn money with free content

Make money with something that is free seems counter-intuitive. On this post I'll explain one of the simplest and most effective ways to monetize your space on the internet.
Certainly you have heard that on the Internet it is possible to obtain any information or digital content for free.
In fact, although this statement does not fully correspond to the truth, it is very close to it.
The big question that arises is why would someone bother to create a website, blog or forum, upload content, make disclosure and then, after expending all the effort and time that could be occupied by any other activity, provides his content and information so free on the Internet.
The answer is simple ... which seems, not always is.
There are actually some people who like to contribute to society and feel great just to do so. This sense of accomplishment and solidarity alone track these people and nothing more is asked in return.
However, the vast majority of "disseminators" of content and information on the internet, hopes that the time and effort they have spent will return in cash. It is in this large group that I am and certainly you who are reading this post.
 

So here it is your first lesson:

One of the best ways to monetize a web space without the visitors even have to pay for content is by placing advertisements and publicity. Ads let you earn money in several ways, including:
- Visits (you earn for every person who visits your site)
- Per-click (you earn for each click on the ads published on your site, where the person who clicks is directed to the advertiser's site)
- By double click (you earn when the person after clicking the add on your site, also click on the advertiser's site)
- Per register/ form (you earn when the person after
clicking the add on your site, register or fill out a form on the advertiser's site)
- For sale (you earn when the person after
clicking the add on your site, goes to the advertiser's site and makes a purchase)
- ...
You probably notice by reading the list above, that the degree of difficulty has increased over the same, ie it is easier to have impressions than records or sales. This difficulty, of course, is reflected on the earnings. You get much more for sale than by an impression. On the other hand, you can have more impressions than sales.
So far we know that you can make money, maximizing your space on the web through the placement of ads. We also know that with this method and in accordance with the ways to make money listed above, we start to make money, night and day without any effort.
Some will say that something is missing and in fact it is. The question remains where to get ads for our site.
Even this point is facilitated to you. You will not need to knock on the companies doors and ask if they want advertising on your site. There are those who do it for you and the only thing that you need to do is join these services, also free, and put on your website the codes of the ads.
I propose you to join these two services: Google Adsense NetAffiliation
Google Adsense is the number one global advertising services on the Internet and therefore mandatory. You earn per impression and per click. Google Adsense system automatically detects the theme of your site and advertisements are published, wherever possible, related to this theme.
Netaffilliation is also a reference in the sector and very credible. Pays for all forms listed above. In NetAffiliation you choose the subjects or the ad campaigns that you want to publish on your site.
Basically what you need to do is register for free at Google Adsense and  NetAffiliation, or only one, register your website, choose the type of ad you want and paste the code provided on your web space. Then just watch the earnings grow!
The youngest in the activity or the most skeptical may think that making money this way seems too easy, and as such, there must be something behind it that has not been told
yet .
In fact, for this everything works and the site turns profitable, it is necessary that the site gets visitors, ie you must have traffic. The more traffic you have, more profitable one site can become.
The ways to increase traffic and visibility will be addressed in specific posts.
