    I have developed a site for several years to help my students with their French learning
    cwfrench.wordpress.com and I have set wowfrench.com to redirect users there.
    Many other teachers from across canada are also using it. How can I improve it in order to profit from it monetarily?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi michelbedard,

    How can I improve it in order to profit from it monetarily?

    Generally for WordAds, and for most affiliate programs out there, you’ll want to get to the point where you have thousands of visitors every month, so I’d focus on improving your traffic for that first.

    We have some tips on that here:

    Increase your site’s traffic

    You might also do some work on the site layout so it’s easier to browse. I clicked on 4 and saw a list but, unless I’ve misunderstood the purpose of the site, I need to speak French to understand what’s happening there. And I clicked on Grade 5, for example, and I only saw ads.

    Speaking of ads, and of your domain as well, have you considered upgrading your plan? A personal plan would get rid of the ads that don’t pay you, and allow you to map your domain rather than redirecting it to our servers. A custom domain like that can be a prerequisite for many affiliate programs too.

    If you have a regular audience that uses your information all the time, you might also ask your viewers to help sponsor your work:

    Anyway, there are many things you can do, but I hope those ideas help! We have other ideas here:

    Cheers!
