One of the most important things you should know with your website is that you need to diversify your income.

Let's say 90% of your website profit come mostly from Google Adsense and your account got suspended. What would you do if you lose 90% of your website’s income? For most people,Diversifying Your Online Income Articles it would be very difficult to recover.

If you have a website, you can diversify by using pay-per-click, direct leads, CPA or cost per action or by receiving commissions from promoting products or services.

One of the easiest ways for a beginner to start producing money online that is fast and easy is through CPA (cost per action) Marketing!This style of affiliate marketing requires

costumers to complete a certain action in order for you to get paid.

So how does CPA Marketing work and, more importantly, how do you make money from it!

Essentially, you take the role of a traffic broker and CPA

networks acts as the middlemen. For the leads you produce, you earn a commission from that specific advertiser. You don’t need to sell anything or your website visitors don’t have to buy something for one to get a commission. You have to merely encourage the website visitors to click on your ads and act as the advertiser

would like them to do, such as signing up for a file download or make an email subscription. It is always easier to get a new consumer to give personal data or visit the website of a company (especially when

there's a free sample or product that goes with it) than buy something. Therefore, with CPA marketing it is easier to make a conversion. One downside to it though is that CPA marketing can be very competitive.

Diversifying your online income also includes opening other sites. Now, I have more than a few sites that I create income from. Google banned one of my sites from their search engine around 4 months ago! Among internet marketers, this is a familiar happening. It seems that my website had lots of outgoing links to sponsor ads and they regard it a "link farm". At that time, I was being paid something like $1000 a month for that site.If I didn't have all of my other sites to pick up the slack, can you imagine the mess that would have been?

Having them on several servers is another way of diversifying your websites. Hosting is dirt cheap these days. Let’s say you throw one or two of them up on a $5.99 a month server and pay for a year's worth of hosting, then you’re on the right track. Not only does it have search engine benefits, but if one of your servers should go down, not all of your websites are down at once.

If you want to have the most money online then you absolutely need to vary your income streams.
