How you can make money with your web site ?
You have created your first web site. That's great. Now lets us explore how you can make money with it on internet. There are many ways to earn money. Naturally you want to maximize your profit. You want to make best use of your money, time and efforts. In my opinion to achieve this target you should start with "Direct Advertising"
What is direct advertising?
In this method of making money you yourself will find out different advertisers, set the rates and close the deal. You will yourself have to perform all these functions. Besides this you will have to be a good administrator. You will have to write different reports, make payments and track statistics. All this is time consuming and requires a lot of exercise.

Top 3 advantages of direct advertising
1. More revenue: There will be NO involvement of middleman. This will increase your income
.2. Independence: larger advertising networks have great resources. They can negotiate more efficiently. But if your web site is popular you will set your own rates. Popularity means more traffic and more traffic helps in earning more revenue.
3. More control over your web site: You will yourself decide where and how the ads and banners will be placed.
Top 3 disadvantages of direct advertising
Time consuming: To find out advertisers for your web site is by no way an easy task. You will have to pay a lot of attention. Direct advertising means more work and more work means more staff and more expertise.
Many requirements: Selling direct adverting is not as easy as making money from Google Adsense. As you can see from the section below, you will need to have a popular blog, a professional looking design, special software and the like.
Unstable: Unless you close deals for very long periods, which are unlikely, you will find your self looking for new advertisers or optimizing your website to attract new ones every other month. The opposite is true for most advertising networks, where you just need to plug some code and they will do the rest of the work. (If your site or blog is just a hobby, therefore, direct advertising might not be the best option)
