There are various ways how a website earns money. The easiest and the most popular ones are affiliate programs. Companies pays a website owner by placing advertisements on the their website from an advertiser. If a visitor clicks the ads, a website owner earns depending on how much the advertiser gives (this is called CPC or Cost Per Click)

The other one is CPA or cost per action. If a visitor clicks the ads and visit the website of the advertiser and buys his products, a commission will be given to the website owner.

There are other things like selling a product or services using your website. One example is Amazon or other eStores that sell various products. On selling services, there are membership sites like dating sites and forums that a member has to pay a monthly or yearly subscription.

There are still many more ways and only limited by your imagination.
