Google Adsense
It is one of the most commonly used ways to monetize a website. You just have to get approved by Google and Google Adsense will start deploying targeted ads on your website. These ads come in many different shapes and sizes and will change automatically.

Affiliate marketing
This is where you sell a product from another e-commerce website on your site and every customer you provide is monitored by them and you get paid when the product is sold.
Doing SEO, actively writing content, product description and reviews are some of the best ways to maximize income through this source. You can write about any product that resonates towards your niche or content.
Managing content and product relations is one of the most important parts of increasing income. If you don’t relate these two, then the customer might find the link or advertisement intrusive as he is interested in the article and things related to the topic he is reading.
Sell ad Space
If you have a website that gets a good number of visitors every month, then you can use this traffic data to go to advertisers and pay them money for giving their address some space on your website.
In this method, you might have to go to the companies which associate with your content and ask them to place their ad on your website which gets good traffic. You can ask them for an amount of money monthly to show their ads.
In this way, you get to control what is shown on your website as well as then you can negotiate a better price than the one other common ad managing companies pay. In this way, you get paid as soon as they sign the contract. It also helps you have a stable income. This money will come directly from the company’s advertising budget.
To earn this, all you need is good traffic on your website and good negotiation skills to get the best advertisers at the highest rate possible.
