How To Make Money With The Chitika Referral Program
The great thing about Chitika is you aren’t only limited to their pay per click program, but you also have access to their referral program. There are currently over 3000 active members in the referral program earning more income every month. In the referral program for each person you refer, you are able to earn 10% of their revenue for 10 months. Also, the great thing about Chitika is the minimum payout is only $10. So unlike Google Adsense where you have to wait until your income reaches $100, you just have to wait until $10.

In order to make money from Chitika, there is a two-step process:
1. The first step is to create a publisher’s account with Chitika. This account is free and you will be able to get access to html codes in which you place on the side of your website. Place the code onto your website and when it’s published you will see an ad related to the content you have on your website.
2. The second step is to get traffic to your website in order to increase your income with Chitika. Some people already have massive amounts of traffic that allow them to profit from Chitika right away. 

If you are new to Chitika and you have a new website that you want to profit from, you need to learn how to get traffic to your website. Remember, the more traffic, the more clicks, the more money you make. Now how do you get traffic and start making money with Chitika? The answer is easy, but pursuing the answer is the hard part. In order to get traffic you need content. I have noticed people saying that they are tired of hearing the fact that they need content for traffic, but I’m tired of saying it. If you want to make more than a few dollars per month with Chitika, then you will need massive amounts of traffic.



Here are a few tips to get more traffic to your website:
1. Write high quality articles and post them on your website.
2. The more content, the better, just make sure you don’t copy someone else’s articles.
3. Make sure you do proper SEO. Target one keyword and underline the keyword, bold it, and italicize it.

Also never click on your own ads to try and make a few bucks. Chitika keeps track of all the clicks and it’s against the terms for anyone to click on their own ads. You will be caught and your Chitika account will be banned. This is one good way to prevent yourself from profiting with Chitika.

Some people get confused with the referral program because they’re not sure where they refer traffic to. All you have to do is refer people to the Chitika publishers program. When your referrals begin to place ads on their websites, then you will start earning 10% of their income. In addition to becoming part of the referral program, you also receive a referrer toolbox which includes buttons, badges, and high converting banners.

So How Do You Refer People?
At this point you should have your publisher’s account set up, you should have ads on your site, and you should be signed up for the referral program. Now you have two income streams. One is from the ads on your site and the other is from the referral program. When you’re trying to refer people to Chitika, you need to find people who already have a website and would like to earn revenue. You should also look for people who have been banned from Google Adsense. The vast majority of people who start a website immediately know the word “Adsense”. Google Adsense is one of the most popular ways to earn money from a personal website. Not too many people know about Chitika.

My suggestion is to write an article focusing on the keywords “banned from Adsense” and “Google Adsense alternatives”. People who were recently banned from Adsense will soon try and find another source for making money. Again, after you write the articles, do proper SEO. 

SEO Tips:
1. Underline keyword
2. Bold the keyword
3. Italicize the keyword
4. Have an inbound link on your keyword
5. Have and outbound link on a random word in the article
6. Make your content high quality.


How To Increase Profits with Chitika By Increasing Website Traffic
So now you know that with Chitika there are two ways to get income. One is through the pay per click program and the other is through the referral program. However, if you can’t get enough traffic you won’t make money from either of these sources. If you don’t get enough traffic, your Chitika earnings will look similar to the earnings below. 

So how do you increase website traffic?
1. Use social media. I highly recommend you let your friends and family know about your website as this will allow them to share with their friends and family too. If your website is fairly new this is a great way to get the ball rolling and get some traffic.

2. Make sure your content is free. Now I know many of you want to make money by selling products, but if you’re only get a few visitors per month, selling anything will be difficult. Try and get your website established first before you try selling anything. I always say that informative websites always do well because they can get a high rank on Google fast. Also people will stay on your website for longer periods of time if you have something free to offer whether it’d be training videos, informative articles, etc. Remember, the more traffic, the more money you will make with Chitika.

3. Advertise. After your website is getting some decent traffic, you can always do free and paid advertising. At this point the products you want to sell on your website should be available, especially if you consider paid advertising. You can use companies like Craigslist and Back page for your free advertising needs. For paid advertising there are many different companies you can work with like Google, Bing, Facebook, etc. You can also choose to buy solo ads or email advertising to attract more visitors to your site and ultimately buy your product. This traffic will not only be good for getting sales, but will benefit your Chitika income. Also, never buy into traffic exchange websites as the traffic is very low quality. Most of the traffic you get will only visit your website for 10 seconds. This kind of traffic will certainly not click on your ads, let alone buy anything you are trying to sell.

The last thing I recommend you do is be patient, especially if you’re trying to make decent money with Chitika. It takes time for your website to get known and go up in rank with Google. In the first month your website is live you may only see a few dollars as your website is still growing. The people who are making good money with Chitika weren’t always doing so. They all started at the bottom.
