Tips for Making a Business Website That Makes Money
Introduction
Having a website is always the first step to success, whether you’re starting a small business or an online store. Your site won’t be successful if it isn’t optimized for search engines, doesn’t look professional, and doesn’t turn visitors into customers. So, we made this list of tips on how to build a profitable website that will help you make more money.
Search engine-optimize
One of the first things you should do is make sure that search engines can find your site. Use keywords in your content, URL, meta descriptions, and titles is the best way to do this.
If your website is written in more than one language, like English and French, use hreflang tags to tell search engines where each language starts and ends.
You can also help people find your site by submitting it to different directories, such as review sites like Yelp! or TripAdvisor, news sites like Google News, marketplaces like Amazon or eBay, blogs about topics related to yours (like cooking blogs), social media sites like Facebook or Twitter, etc.
Have a design that looks clean and professional.
- Your site should be simple to use.
- Choose a font that is easy to read and doesn’t get in the way.
- Use colors that look good together and don’t hurt your eyes.
- Choose a background image that fits with your site. You want it to fit with your brand and feel natural, not forced or out of place. If you’re not sure how to do this, ask someone who knows something about branding!
- Choose a logo that shows who you are and what you do. Do some research on logos in your industry or area and see which ones stand out to customers the most (and why). Again, don’t try to force anything. If none of them work, it might be time to try something else.
Use strong CTAs
Calls to action are an important part of every website. They can be used to increase sales and conversions and to get more people to visit your website.
Use text, pictures, videos, and other media in your call to action (CTA) to make it clear what you want site visitors to do.
Try out different things to see what works.

If you have a big following or are running an ad campaign, it’s always a good idea to try out different approaches to see what works for your audience. You can do this by using analytics and A/B testing to find out what content your visitors interact with the most.
Use heatmaps along with tools like Google Analytics and Hotjar to find out how people use your site. Heatmaps are helpful because they show you where people click on your website, scroll down the page, hover over buttons, etc., which tells you a lot about how they’re using your content and if they’re finding it helpful (or not).
Create a great user experience
The key to a successful website, especially if you want to make money from it, is a good user experience.
You might think that the only reason people visit your website is because they need it, but the truth is that most of them go there to have fun and learn something.
If your site is easy to use, people will come back to see what else you have to offer. It also makes it more likely that happy customers will tell other people about their experience with your business.
Make landing pages that bring people in.
The goal of landing pages is to turn visitors into leads and customers. Landing pages are usually just one web page where everything is about one thing, like a specific product or service or even a free trial.
Landing pages can be more effective than regular websites at getting people to do what you want them to do because they are so specific. They also let you collect useful information about people who do something on your site, like what they were looking for when they got to that page or if it was missing something that would have made them finish their goal.

Learn your customers’ language.
The first step in making a website that makes money is to learn how your customers talk.
You need to know what they want and how they talk about it to do this. You also want to know what kind of language they use in their searches and on social media so that you can make sure your business website uses the same language.
You can find out all of this by doing research, talking to customers in person or on the phone (if you have them), watching what they do online, and even studying what they do when they visit your site.
