Hello there. This is our third and last part of the Money in Health series. You can find the first two parts here:
I would suggest that you read them first so you’ll have an idea what we’re trying to talk about here.
Now, back to topic. Today, we’ll focus on two important things – money making methods and driving visitors to your website. I assume at this point that you already have a blog and have already put some interesting content in them.
Money Making Methods
As I previous mentioned in Parts 1 and 2 of this series, there are many ways to earn money online. One of them is to start putting PPC ads on your website. Again, with PPC ads, you earn each time someone clicked on an ad on your website. Here are three PPC Ad networks that I use:
| google_ad_client = “pub-4723937313383880″;google_ad_width = 120;google_ad_height = 60;google_ad_format = “120×60_as_rimg”;google_cpa_choice = “CAAQ8dSWhAIaCJtSxNGD_CtXKIHD93M”;google_ad_channel = “”; |  |
 |
Another method of making money online is by making affiliate sales. I would strongly recommend that you sign-up with Clickbank. They have a huge database of products available for affiliate marketing. Some even give commissions of upto 75%.
Now, after you have signed up with these Adsense, Adbrite, Text-Link-Ads, and Clickbank, all you have to do next is follow their instructions on how to put their ads / links on your website. Note that the Adsense Terms of Use doesn’t allow Adbrite to be displayed on the same page because they’re both contextual PPC ads. But you can put Text-link-ads together with Adsense on the same page.
Driving Traffic
This is the problem that most internet marketers encounter – getting traffic. But I’ll show you a bunch of ways to promote your website for free. I’ll also show you a few proven and effective paid methods to bring traffic to your website.
First the free ways…
- Search engines – the best visitors you will get are mostly from the search engines. The problem is that just having a website doesn’t guarantee that you will have traffic from search engines. I recommend that you read this Basic SEO Checklist to get you started on Search Engine Optimization.
- Write an article about your target niche and submit it to article directories. This gives you inbound links (good for Search Engines), the chance to appear as an expert in your field, and even direct traffic from the articles you write. Here’s a Google search for article directories.
- Email signatures – put a link on your email signature. You might think of this as very primitive and ineffective but I tell you it works.
- Get involved in group discussions – join Yahoo Groups / Google Groups related to your target niche and create a healthy discussion with them. Note, do not promote on these groups or people will start to hate you – lots of them. Instead, just put a link to a particular topic on your website whenever appropriate.
- Join online forums – this is a bit more tedious but is also effective. Again, don’t promote.
- Submit your website to the Open Directory Project. If you get approved, you’ll get a bunch of links from major directories that tie up with the Open Directory Project.
- Visit other blogs related to your market and post honest and true comments to their articles. Oftentimes, these blogs asks you for your URL – this is where you put a link to your website.
There are many more ways to promote online for free. I’m sure you can come up with a few more.
On the sidelight – Keywords…. it’s all about keywords….
Whether you target Search engines or actual humans, keywords are what matters most. When a search engine or a human sees a particular keyword on your site, then they know that your site might just be the right site for them. Our goal therefore, is to include specific keywords in our website text.
Specific keywords… Back to health, let’s say your site is about plastic surgery. Instead of just saying plastic surgery in your site, try to put Toronto plastic surgery instead. Though this may result in lesser searches, it also means more specific searches and easier competition. Here are few other examples for plastic surgery:
- reconstructive plastic surgery
- nose plastic surgery
- plastic surgery doctors
- plastic surgery liposuction
- plastic surgery rhinoplasty
You may also add a specific location to each keyphrase – i.e. Toronto reconstructive plastic surgery.
Point is, the more specific the keywords, the better chances you have of getting more interested visitors and higher search engine rankings – either way it means more traffic.

Now the paid ways…
I will only mention a few and I won’t detail much about them here. One thing I can say about these is that they’re VERY VERY VERY effective.
- Google Adwords – the other side of Google adsense.
- SEO Elite – the perfect software for Search engine optimization
- Keyword Elite – powerful software to get just the right keywords
Note, the paying for SEO Elite and Keyword Elite might be expensive but I tell you, it’s worth the money. In fact, I suggest that you get both softwares first before you try a single Google Adwords campaign.
Ok, that sums up our Money in Health series and though this last article didn’t focus much on health, I’m sure already got the point. There’s money in everything and health is just one of them.
