Question
Hi Michael,

I have a free online magazine that is geared toward youth and young adults and offers interviews, music reviews and other features. I am wanting to generate income through the site so I can do more with the ministry, but I am clueless. :-)

Any suggestions that you might have? I do want to keep the site free.

Thanks!

Charles

Answer
Hi Charles,

thanks for your question.  you didn't provide the URL of your online magazine so I cannot look specifically so I will give general advice.

Many ways online magazines generate income is from advertisers.  That way, the website makes money but doesnt have to charge its readers.  

There are many ways to get advertisers, but the most popular is google adsense  - www.google.com/adsense  - this program allows you to place advertisements on your site, and google reads your site and puts the most relevants ads there.  

There are also affiliate programs, and that is when someone clicks that ad and buys, you get a sales commission.  One I use is www.shareasale.com


Hope this helps!  thanks for providing the internet full of great content and articles!

Cheers
Mike
