A website is a good platform of making money. The success of websites such Amazon.com, zappos.com is evidence that there is money to be made by creating a website to sell products.
This article will show you top notch strategies that you can use to make money with a website.
1. It is better to sell a specific product than all product
Don't try to be Amazon.com. Try to sell every product under the sun is bad strategy. Targeting everyone is basically equal to targeting no one. Be specific about your target audience. It is easier to make money when your website is focused in selling a single product.
2. Website Development Platform
My favorite website design software is WordPress. Wordpress comes free of charge when you purchase web hosting. Wordpress will full fill most of the small business website requirements.
Benefits of wordpress,
- You can manage your website really easily without the help of a coder
- You can enhance your website using plugins
- WordPress websites usually get indexed in the Google pretty fast
3. Website Template / Theme Design
The design you choose for your website will determine whether customers will buy from your website or close your website. Your strategy for designing a money making website should be; the design should tell a visitor what the website is about. If you sell sunglasses you should have images of eye wear everywhere.
I recommend you purchase a premium e-commerce wordpress theme.

4. Content For Your Money Making Website
Following are the most important pages for a website designed to make money.
Home
About
Services
Testimonials
Contact Us
Blog
First of all you must have all the above pages on your website as bare minimum and secondly make sure these pages are easily accessible through your main navigation.
A blog is not a must but research shows, companies that blog get 55% more traffic. You can use the blog to connect with your customers.
5. Capture E-mails And Send Out A Newsletter
Make an effort to get email addresses of your buyers. You can then use the email to send them a newsletter with information on future promotions and product announcement. If someone buys from your website today, he is more likely to buy again and again.
The trick with getting people to part with emails is to offer them something free. It can be a gift voucher or a report. A strategy that have seen work is offering people an opportunity to enter a competition to win a free voucher or free stuff (that is if you can afford it).
6 Connect Your Website with Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus.
Use social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter to drive traffic back to your business website.
Place social media buttons on your website so that visitors can easily connect.
