Hello World!

Today, we will be squeezing some money out of your website! So how are we going to accomplish that goal? Lets dive in.

First, let's talk about traffic. If your website gets less than 5 visitors per day 😔, well, you might be able to get a few dollars every week, but no worries, I am going to publish an article on how to sky rock your views! 

Back to monetizing, here is a chart you can use to find out approximately how much money you can get from your website's stats.

**0 Views(Per Day)**: 😔 Zero dollars for you :(

**1-5 Views(Per Day)**: $3 AUD Dollars a week (2.28 USD)

**5-10 Views(Per Day)**: Decent $5 AUD a week (3.79 USD)

**10-50 Views(Per Day)** Great Job! $30 AUD per week here (22.75 USD)

**50-100 Views(Per Day)** Decent Work! $100 AUD per week(75.85 USD)

**100-500 Views(Per Day)** Just Amazing! $500 AUD per week(379.24 USD)

**500-1000 Views(Per Day)** 1000 AUD per week(758.48 USD)

**1000-10000 Views(Per Day)** 10000 AUD per week(7584.8 USD)

It's per week we are talking about! Times it by 52 and you get your annual rate! :joy:

It's a lot of money for a few views, come one, it's not clicks, it's views! 

I'll stop boasting, don't trust me, trust the results. Just follow these few tips, and your website would generate money like crazy.

## Tip Number 1 (Affiliate Links)

Affiliate links are basically links you put on your website, and when viewers click them, companies pay you money. Imagine 1 viewer getting you $100 dollars!

You can check out [this](https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/best-affiliate-programs) list of affiliate websites HubSpot wrote. (By the way, that's not an affiliate link, I promise). Remember, you can't just spam your website with affiliate links, you need to make sure people click them!

Oh, and don't put too much affiliate links, it just annoys visitors(readers). Find the good balance.

## Tip Number 2 (Ads)

Seen this somewhere? Of course, ads are those annoying pop ups that tell you to buy something! You can get a dollar per click or 5 dollar per hundred views with google ads! 

This is a tip for big websites, small websites can barely get a few dollars with this method, the affiliate link method works best with small websites with a loyal audience base.

Well, what are you waiting for! Get some ads going!

## Tip number 3 (Donations)

Who would want to donate to you? Well, just read [Wikipedia's donation page!](https://donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LandingPage&country=AU&uselang=en-gb&utm_medium=spontaneous&utm_source=fr-redir&utm_campaign=spontaneous) They make you guilty not to donate, **here is how it goes**:

We'll get straight to the point: Today we ask you to defend Wikipedia's independence.

We're a non-profit that depends on donations to stay online and thriving, but 98% of our readers don't give; they simply look the other way. If everyone who reads Wikipedia gave just a little, we could keep Wikipedia thriving for years to come. The price of a cup of coffee is all we ask.

When we made Wikipedia a non-profit, people told us we’d regret it. But if Wikipedia were to become commercial, it would be a great loss to the world.

Wikipedia is a place to learn, not a place for advertising. The heart and soul of Wikipedia is a community of people working to bring you unlimited access to reliable, neutral information.

We know that most people will ignore this message. But if Wikipedia is useful to you, please consider making a donation of $5, $20, $50 or whatever you can to protect and sustain Wikipedia.




Thanks,
