question 'Website builders' - How to monetize these sites? Is it possible?

A large portion of the internet run on Wordpress, so yes you can absolutely monetize "these sites" (you never mentioned which they are).

I dont have the necessary skills to code a site at the moment so am thinking about launching a small site or 2 using Wordpress of GD website builder.

If I was to use the latter is it possible to monetise it, and if so, how?

Thanks

I was referring to the latter - sites built using a Website Builder such as that on Godaddy.

I use wix to mess with and have fun on, you can monetize to your hearts desire, even encoding and imbedding, it is not that hard to seo a any website really, if Google will stop making policy changes every other week, it would be much easier though.

My big sites, I am using wordpress, I can do the same monetizing, rather it's a small site builder like wix,weebly and ect,

Totally forgot..here my opinion, you are using a few site, now if you thinks of it, as "free advertising space", you realize that putting your domains for sale is monetizing your site!

I would develop traffic (social media etc), set aside some money, move to my own hosting and then worry about monetizing..

It is very difficult to get any advertisers

You can even use blogger to monetize your website. It's always good to add some content as well and bring inbound and outbound link for better domain ranking.

From personal experience, read what niche is allowed on blogger!

Lost a big traffic blog because of "promote illegal substances" (Cannabis) ,the blog was mostly image of cannabis strains BUT one posting had a "price guide" of a strain (different states/provinces) , blog (backlinks.traffic) gone over night!

Use wordpress...

Get some organic traffic first! If you can get 20+ visits per day, then it's worth looking at ads. Adding ads is real easy regardless. As for how profitable or how much conversion you will get, that depends on your niche. you can check out cj.com to start. Related services might offer affiliate ads to you directly too.

Which wordpress?

Wordpress.com (free hosting on their server) or Wordpress.org (you pay for hosting/etc)

Hmmm, I think in the future I will rebuild name feature on my own server that my other sites are on, to get the advertising off of wix I think you have to pay like $11 a month, will see I guess, I just wanted to throw up a small portfolio site that didn’t need any coding, but I don’t really dig paying $7 a month at wix and not getting any commission if someone signs up and builds a site, nice hustle on their part, but they aren’t going to share any revenue with me, greedy bastards LoL
