Today, millions of people are trying to make money on the world wide web of the Internet. There are many options for business activities on the Internet that make a profit. For example, a business idea about making money on contextual advertising.
contextual advertising- advertisements, the peculiarity of which is to match the theme of the banner or advertisement to the content of the page on which this advertisement is displayed. If the site publishes information about loans in banks, then the advertisement will be devoted to loans or banks in general.
On the market contextual advertising in the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet, Yandex and Google are the main ones. They are called contextual advertising providers. There are other companies that are engaged in the placement of this type of advertising, but their market share is negligible.
An important condition for starting a business organization is a developed business plan. To implement this “business” idea, you will need to make the following long-term operations.
You will need your own resource on the Internet. It can be a forum, website or blog dedicated to a specific topic. It is important to remember that many advertisers are not everywhere. If, for example, you run a site about cars, then there are many other Internet resources and companies dedicated to auto topics, which, of course, will want to place contextual advertising on your site. A resource about growing exotic flowers is unlikely to find a sufficient number of advertisers. Therefore, when choosing a topic, be careful.
The site will need to be promoted and increase its position in search engines. After all, the main traffic i.e. The flow of visitors comes from search engines, and your final income depends on their number. The easiest way is to contact a good online agency for help and order promotion in the search engines of your forum/website/blog. When the flow of visitors per day becomes 300 people, you can start placing contextual advertising.
Contextual ads different providers need to be tested. If the income from advertising from Google significantly exceeds the income from Yandex ads, then let's get most of the contextual advertising from Google or vice versa.

Service Description
Provision of advertising services for various companies. The work will include consulting, selection of a suitable advertising strategy, risk assessment, the actual provision of advertising services (creation of the necessary accompanying elements such as leaflets, as well as their distribution). Please note that we are considering a situation where an entrepreneur opens a small advertising agency.
Market analysis
The market for advertising services is quite large, it is constantly expanding. How can it be characterized? The demand for services is constantly growing, the volume of work provided is also growing. There is no seasonality in this type of business if we evaluate the entire sector. The seasonality of enterprises applying for advertising does not significantly affect the work. The bulk of the market applies for advertising services on an ongoing basis.
Today, this particular market segment is the most promising among all available services. The success of almost any business today depends on advertising. Thus, we can talk about a high level of demand.
The advertising agency market is no more than half full. Therefore, entering the market is quite easy. In this type of business, it is very important to be flexible, ingenious, and creative. The ideal would be an option in which the head of the company will be an experienced, knowledgeable person working in this area. It is difficult to regulate work in a niche about which the entrepreneur has no knowledge. At first, he may himself participate in the development of promotions.
The most difficult thing in this area is to capture a part of the market. Today there are many advertising agencies. In addition, well-known media occupy more than a third of the market, which significantly affects the number of "free buyers". The main competitors will be large companies, engaged in both the provision of a wide range of advertising services, and the processing of highly specialized market segments.
How can you compete with such serious competitors? Worth the development own ideas creatively. Try especially hard when making offers. The success of the business will depend on their quality. A low price is unlikely to attract large customers, but you should not overestimate it either. The ideal option is to set the average market price or slightly lower.
All available firms will be potential buyers. Today, the success of an enterprise directly depends on the promotion of products. No wonder they say that advertising is the engine of trade. When choosing the mid-price segment, you should understand that the main customers will be small and medium-sized firms. Large enterprises, as a rule, turn to well-known advertising agencies. It will be very difficult to catch such a "fish".

Since the organization is engaged in the provision of advertising services, then contact somewhere for promotion own business no need. You can do it yourself. However, there will be costs here too. You will have to spend money on raw materials, various materials, as well as on the placement of contextual advertising on the Internet. The development and content of the site will be engaged in.
- Own site. Your own employee can work it out. It is important to create a website that is understandable and pleasant for visitors. Be sure to update information, report on promotions, discounts. It makes sense to share your success with site visitors by posting photos, reviews, video reports.

There are several types of contextual advertising:
- search engine. This is all advertising on the first and subsequent pages of the search engine. Quite profitable for advertisers - it allows you to get warm and hot customers, clicks on such advertising are expensive for a search engine.
- Affiliate Network Advertising. These are website ads. Such ad units are cheaper than in a search engine. Allows you to get customers who visited the sites of your subject. Enter keywords, the system analyzes the content of the site and makes requests for these keywords.
- Retargeting. These are advertisements that are shown based on previous sites. That is, you were on this site, looking for something and will subsequently see ads for the same site. Quite convenient for those who have found an interesting product, and then look for similar ones.
Options for making money on contextual advertising for a beginner
There are several ways to make money on contextual advertising. They differ in income, skills required and time spent. Choose the method you like, study and develop in it.
Site creation
This is the easiest way to make money. That doesn't mean it's a matter of five minutes. In fact, this is a long, painstaking work with its own pitfalls. You register in the Yandex.Direct and Google.Adsense systems, enter your own website and display ad units on it. You will receive money for referrals.
Learning how to set up contextual advertising
This is a logical continuation of the previous method of earning. Here you are no longer just setting up ads, but teaching others how to do it right. Such an offer is in demand, especially if you really know what you are talking about.
If you don’t have at least a few dozen cases behind you, you should not start training. At the same time, education should not be your main income.
Since by the time it comes to your mind to teach others, you should already have experience, then you should have finances to start. Therefore, I recommend contacting experienced infobusinessmen and taking several paid lessons. This will allow you to learn how to make cool launches that bring in 5-10 times more than was spent on advertising.
As specialists, I can advise Alexander Chipizhko and Andrey Zakharyan. These are some of the real infobusinessmen who can really teach something.
The info business should not be your main income, but as an extra money just for teaching the material is one of the the best options. Do not neglect it if you want to get the most out of your own knowledge.
How much do you need to invest in order to earn on contextual advertising
Here we will touch on traffic arbitrage. Since many are interested in the topic of costs in arbitration, it is worth mentioning specific numbers from which you can start earning. They are not taken from the ceiling, this is the experience of knowledgeable colleagues who have made more than one advertising launch.
The minimum figure is 10,000 rubles. But this is the minimum below which you can not fall. In order to analyze several proposals, choose your options and make a few mistakes, you will need at least 30-40 thousand rubles.
Coming to arbitration without having at least 10,000 rubles - hope for good luck. Any cases "earned 100,000 with only 300 rubles", even if they are real - just luck and nothing more. The second time a person will not repeat his success.
If you want to run a business systematically, then you will have to spend a lot of money. Otherwise, it will no longer be arbitrage, but roulette “will it shoot or not”.
Who can earn on contextual advertising
Contextual advertising - analytics. Not as voluminous as, but nevertheless, it requires stability and concentration from a person. Setting the context is a rather painstaking work in which you will need to analyze, look for approaches to it, and not just give keywords.
This way of earning is highly scalable. When working as an arbitrator - more money, directions and options, when working as a tuner - a wide range additional services. It would be logical if you go from "setting up contextual advertising" to "I will bring customers to the business."
Improving your knowledge will also help you earn more. You will not only select keywords for queries, but also create creatives, lead the user from the moment of the request to the purchase of the product/service. That is why anyone who at least knows how to bring customers to business can make money on contextual advertising.
Conclusion
Contextual advertising is a fairly profitable tool for making money. The methods listed in the article allow you to choose your niche, work with different segments and earn on your own knowledge. This direction will be relevant for at least a few more years, so if you wanted to earn money, but were afraid to start, it's time.
With the growth of the Internet audience, gigantic advertising budgets are leaving the pages of the printed press, from television screens and leaving billboard areas. As the Internet coverage of the population grows, advertising is increasingly concentrated on its virtual spaces, which means that the share of advertising budgets flowing into the Internet from the pockets of traditional advertising media is also growing.
This is an objective and quite natural process, since on the Internet you can most accurately convey advertising to target audience on the day and at the hour when this advertisement will be most effective. On the Internet, you can absolutely track how many people saw this ad and how they reacted to it. And this is very important for the advertiser, because it allows you to control the advertising budget and spend it with the highest efficiency.
One of the types of advertising on the Internet is contextual advertising.
The essence of this advertising technique is that advertisement fits thematically into the content surrounding it, that is, into the context of the page. If you advertise winter car tires, then your ad will be distributed on the pages of sites dedicated to cars and winter tires.
But, like everything on the Internet today, creating an effective contextual advertising company requires the involvement of contextual advertising specialists. It will be cheaper and faster than making your own bumps, wandering through endless statistics and wasting time in complex ad block settings.
To create contextual advertising and plan an effective advertising campaign, specialists from contextual advertising agencies are usually involved. This is a fairly recent direction in business and graduates in contextual advertising are not yet being released. This means that anyone who understands the technology of contextual advertising enough can earn money in this growing market.
What do you need to create your own contextual advertising agency?
The big advantage of a contextual advertising business is that you can start it right from your home without spending money on office rent and travel back and forth. Of course, you will need a computer or tablet and an internet connection. There are no special requirements for a computer - absolutely any, even an outdated model, will do for a start.
Next, you have to understand the basic technologies of contextual advertising. On the territory of the former USSR, there are two large advertising networks: Google AdWords and Yandex.Direct. Carefully read both manuals on creating an advertising company, and you yourself will understand that there is a limitless field of activity for an enterprising person with a computer. Both Google AdWords and Yandex.Direct are a kind of exchange where you will act as a trader on behalf and on behalf of your customer - the advertiser.
The essence of your activity will be to profitably buy "clicks" - targeted transitions to your advertiser's website. Unlike any other exchange, it is impossible to lose in contextual advertising networks. Here, money is debited from your account only for clicks on your ad unit, that is, for the transition to the customer's website. If you set a lower bid, your bid simply won't work - your ads won't show and the money will remain in your account.
The situation on the contextual advertising market is changing every second, and a person who does not monitor these changes constantly, does not know the trends, will not be able to plan and conduct an effective advertising campaign. Anyone who constantly monitors the contextual advertising market, changes in its main indicators, daily and seasonal rate fluctuations can create a profitable contextual advertising agency.
The contextual advertising market is growing and it is not difficult to find customers. For a beginner contextual advertising agency good place to search for advertisers, freelance exchanges can become. If you are fluent in any foreign language, then it is better to go directly to the advertising markets of native speakers - there earnings are much higher, and the principles of Google AdWords are the same everywhere.
