Your review of the methods to make money from a website are interesting. However, one of the major limitations is that most of these money making methods are ad supported. So a webmaster who does not have a Google Adsense account is at a major disadvantage especially in India, where other ad networks are not very strong.
For selling advertising to small businesses and professionals, marketing staff is needed, which a small business owner may find difficult to hire due to lack of people with the right values and work ethic.
Cash back websites seem to be the most popular option, but is there any information available about the revenues and profits of these websites? How soon do the merchants listed on these cash back website pay the webmaster for the sales made through the website. If you have any details, please share.

Hello Shravan,
Thanks for sharing some wonderful online start-up ideas that any internet lover can look for. I too intend to have my own discount coupons and deals website. But, I am a complete newcomer as far as owning a website and hosting space is concerned. Can you please share some useful information about how can I approach developing a coupon code and discount deals website? I hear there is some specific script involved for such websites. Please let me know your views about this.

@ Bhakti Savla,
Yes, its true that there are specific scripts available which you can use to start your own deals and coupon sites. If you are willing to invest some decent amount of money then you can also get a custom script developed from wes developers. You can start your coupon site using low priced scripts available and post coupons and deals of ecommerce stores. Try monetizing the site through affiliate marketing, which is best suited for such sites.
Hope it answers your query.

As far as my knowledge goes, Cashback sites are making decent revenues. Cashback sites have been getting huge venture capital in recent times which proves that their business model is encouraging and has promising future. Most of the cashback sites use affiliate networks which allows them to work with large number of retailers. It also helps in proper tracking of sales/clicks. Very few cashback sites partner with individual ecommerce retailers. Cashback sites get paid from affiliate networks for sales coming through them. Some of this amount is passed on to the customer as cashback amount. Payment terms of individual affiliate networks vary from network to network.

These days earning money from the own blog is a dream for many bloggers. But the competition is too high and many bloggers are getting failed these days. After that, they think of earning little amount of money by working online on other sites. There are different methods of earning online like freelancing, coupons, revenue share and through posting articles. The above all methods are genuine and good ways to earn money. I think that Google AdSense is the best ad network to earn money for Indian bloggers. But it is very difficult to get the approved AdSense account. Other methods of earning are affiliate marketing, paid reviews, Yahoo ads and many more.
