But the benefits are of course huge and never ending. You can customize each and everything this way, literally everything!

Suppose you’re entering a saloon conceding to have best products being use on you, but they have no certification to show that their services and products are protected by an authority, you won’t probably go there then because you do care about your about-to-be-spent money.

Monetization Plan For A Classifieds Website Without a prior monetization plan, your website is not going to earn you anything. But the first and foremost point here is that a website can’t be monetized at early stages. You can also call it early stage monetization plan. So to start with: Highlight and optimize your products and services fully. Focus on the traffic at the start; it is your subsequent earning. Figure your potential customers from unpaid sources first (social media etc.). Make a YouTube channel and keep posting handsome videos there, more the subscribers, more you can earn with ads showing during your videos. There are some other ways to monetize your website but you can use them after getting a certain level of traffic and fame towards your site. For instance: Advertising and Promotional banners Featured Ads / Move ads to top Pay to Post Affiliate Links By offering Premium Membership So for now, focus on the early stage monetization plan only.
Testimonials A testimonial is a great way to earn traffic. Think about a friend or even stranger assures you while entering a shop that this is a reliable one or “I had a good experience last time I shopped from here” Or maybe “I’m a regular customer here” … these words really matter and work for boosting your traffic. But keep in mind that testimonial should be real, even if you have to give samples to your potential customers for that, do it. 10 Genuine testimonials are way better than 100 fake ones. a happy customer worths more than hundred visitors... !

During wandering around the internet, whenever I enter a website and it takes more than 30 seconds to find the thing about that particular website I’m lurking in, I immediately leave the site.

Answers and Concerns make a forum or questions/answers section to meet the general queries of users within your niche. Other than FAQs regarding the website, there may be a lot more questions a seeker might looking for.
