How much money you can make, from placing articles and affiliate links on your website, differs from person to person. How much you are able to make will depend mostly on how successful your site is. This means getting good search engine rankings, through SEO efforts, making your site enjoyable and informative to read through engaging content, building your site around a great niche subject, the size and popularity of your site and how many sites you have.

Some people claim to make as much as $10,000 per month ($120,000 per year) through building and promoting niche sites, however, most people should not expect this kind of success, especially if you are very new, as that kind of success usually only comes with time, experience and acquired skills.

A reasonable income to expect from a niche site, after you have worked for months to gain traffic and are hooked up with good affiliates, may be around $500-$1,000 per month. However, this is recurring income, so you will make that much monthly, from the effort you put into that one site, originally.

After they have built a successful niche site, most marketers choose to continue building more  niche sites. The more sites you build, the more income you can generate. Some also choose to build very fast and very short sites, over sites that are bigger. It should be noted that the larger each of your sites are, the more income you will likely generate off them.

When starting out, it is important to remember that your first site will always be your hardest site to build, since you are still learning the business and not everyone is cut out to market and promote niche sites. While this method works well for others, it may not work out the same for you. You may even end up losing a little bit of money, but that is the risk that everyone in this business has to take.

The important thing is that you don’t give up, without trying other things, if this is really what you want to do. Your first site may take a little longer, the work may be tedious and you may often feel like throwing in the towel. However, if you give up too early, you will never know what could have been. Who knows, you may be the next great website marketer and make a fortune!
