Revenue-sharing: > $5k per month?

[dlcmh]

OK - I promise that this will be the last of my posts with titles like this :rolleyes:

Prior to joining DP a few days ago, I had no idea that there was such a thing as revenue sharing.

Well, now I know! And doing a search here for revenue sharing ... like, wow! look at all those interesting posts pointing to more revenue sharing sites!

devin09 said he earned $1.43 on one fine day on Mar 1st, 2006 (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=679654&postcount=8)

So, the lazy-earner, ex-auto-site-gen'er part of me says - join as many forums, and put up as many posts or articles as possible (don't post junk though, please!), and get $200/day - just 200, quality posts and articles scattered over various forums and sites, and we can holiday all year at Hawaii.

And get this, $200/day net - except for the cost of man-hours devoted to this. No need to purchase a domain, get a host, research niches and keywords, SEO, link building, etc - and there's no shame building a good, solid reputation as a forum contributor sans web site.

I'm sure you're bursting at the seams wanting to share with me your success story with this approach - so go ahead, spill the beans! ;)

[patataur]

it looks to me that you try as much as you can to avoid facing the reality : earning bucks on the web as well as anywhere else requires to put in some amount of work.

Work hard = no doubting that for even a second.

Diversification x RO(Effort+Investment) = is what I'm always interested in, as long as they remain within Gogle's TOS - new and fresh information cannot hurt.

[devin]

well, technicallly you CAN earn that much, but there're several boulders:

1) when i got that $1.43, the eCPM was about $23 (i don't know what topic did some kind chap clicked on). most of the time i get a few 10's of cents.
2) given that, let's take a sample average of about $0.40 per RS click. (from my average). to reach $200/day, you will need to post 500 times a day. allowing room for fluctuations, the range would fall somewhere between 400 - 600.
3) not posting 'junks' and 'hi welcome to X forums', a good post will take, say 5 full minutes. that would translate into...more than 33 hours...a day.

:confused:

[MattEvers]

that would translate into...more than 33 hours...a day.

:confused:

And if this person would spend that time everyday working on an actual website, they would easily make that much. But laziness takes over....

[luxinterior]

The other point your missing is that you got lucky...not sure how Shaun does it but I'm guessing the probability is split three ways so you'd have to factor that into your stats.

Good luck with your ventures.

[iowadawg]

I make 5 bucks or more on this forum, is the day I quit everything else I am doing and just post, post, post!
LOL

Seriously, I do not post in hopes that someone will click on an ad and it will be mine and I will make big bucks.

With less time than I can post 2-4 times in this forum, I can add another page of content to my site and make that 5 bucks.

Take it from me, you may think it is easy to start posting and making big bucks, but it aint going to happen!

[dlcmh]

:confused:

Devin, Iowadawg and Luxinterior - consider this - you don't have to post hundreds a day. Work on building good, posts packed with good solid information, and keyword-rich. I can't tell you the number of times I've searched for things like egold scam, adense income potential, etc and the search results land me right smack into the middle of a forum discussion thread - that's one of the ways DP built itself into my mind - after numerous Google searches led me here.

Your good posts last forever - 1000 solid posts, preferably article-sized ones, might give you a good return.

But due to the nature of DP's revenue sharing (I haven't really delved into this), posting the good stuff on other forums such as webmaster-talk.com, where they give 50% share to the thread starter, might be more viable. It would help if we had the passion for the topic at hand, and also feel strongly attached to the forum. I'd started tens of info-packed threads on the photography forum that I frequent - it'd be a nice, bonus touch if there was revenue sharing there.

Anyways, thanks for chiming in!

Lazy replies like this does nothing but devalue a thread :) - I guess I've just made a lazy reply myself :rolleyes:

Work on building good, posts packed with good solid information, and keyword-rich.i don't get it...:( why not do that on your website instead?

[dlcmh]

i don't get it...:( why not do that on your website instead?

OK -to be honest, I'm just starting to try this out, so don't have any information to share. All that I can say is that in the past, I've found that by sticking articles on high PR sites, I could see money coming in 1 or 2 weeks later, with no need for building links, etc because the site already has high PR, and new submissions are always listed on one of the site's high PR page.

There's no need to choose one strategy over the other - either method can make money. Of course, nothing beats having quality websites in the long run.

The nature of forums can open up additional possibilities, however. You get folks more willing to comment on your thread, and that automagically makes you thread more keyword-rich, so to speak. I remember tracking a page of mine that had visitors. One of them was searching for Mercedez (fictitious example) and I found out that someone had commented on my page with that misspelt word. Also, you get to be more conversational in forums, something which is difficult to do on your official site. Unless, you already have a forum at your site - but then, you'd need tons of visitors, and that is another topic already.

A possible combo-strategy would see you sharing keyword-rich tips and tricks in forums, and your siggy links back to your main site, where the power-packed articles are.

I'd have to reiterate though, that this strategy would only be worthwhile in 50% revenue share (for thread starters), high PR forums.

[dlcmh]

Eg - try to do a Google Search for scrambled eggs with adsense - DP appears at #1 - ok, just a quick example, but I think you get the idea

[john269]

You are looking for an easy way of earning some money. Posting in revenue sharing forums is something that I would not take part in, but even though you think it would be good at the end it will result in much less money.

Put it this way.

If you took 2 years writting posts in forums and then spent 2 years building a quality website. After then 2 years is up you would have most probably earn't more money from your own website than the revenue shareing forums.

Plus you have more opportunities of earning cash from your own site and what you have with these forums.

[MattEvers]

Dude, I'll make another lazy reply, and say that everybody knows how stupid this thread is... It's another dumb idea to make quick money. I don't post long nonsense because I am actually doing some work, or trying to read info worth reading. You should try it out sometime.

[illusion]

Quite a challenge that would be. I say just work on a website like everyone else. Seriously, who sees an ad that they like in these forums and clicks on it, I am one of the ones that don't. Kind of pointless, so I reckon you can't make $200 a day from these forums

[john269]

Believe me, making your own site is a better way of generating revenue.

Dude, you're full of presumptions, 3 to be exact and I've obviously got onto your wrong side. Peace, ok?

[MattEvers]

Dude, you're full of presumptions, 3 to be exact and I've obviously got onto your wrong side. Peace, ok?

You're not on my bad side. I just think you are starting threads about stuff that makes no sense. The revenue sharing in this or any other forum is simply a marketing tool to get new members.

The members with over 10,000 posts probably only make a few bucks a day if that. I'm not starting trouble and won't bump this thread again. Just think you should know you'll never see 5 G's per month with revenue sharing in a forum.

Unless of course you are the owner. :rolleyes:

[FreeFox]

more than 33 hours...a day.

What about weekends?

There is a funny talk on one board about refferals. Board pays 0.5$ per refferal so you need "only" 200000 people for million. It's same with revenue sharing, you need 200000 threads for million :)

[Seiya]

This post is stupid... i have 1600 posts and most of my days are $0.00 , rarely i see a $0.10 day, in fact i must have made less than 50 cents in 4months of membership.

[john269]

If you really want to know how much you may receive, why don't you just work out the average that everybodies share may be on average per the amount of posts you do.

I am a forum member and am rather active but I prefer to keep out of the revenue sharing program and a few others may also decided to do this plus there are many members that have less than 50 posts so will not earn a penny, plus digitalpoint is also probably earning money from Adsense on other parts of their site.

But anyway, you may still be able to work out on average how much you may earn per post.

I work it out that each member that has 50 or more posts is most likely to get an average of about $0.006911470968 per post written.

How I worked this out is by taken $10,000 that digitalpoint claims that they earn from Adsense and I then use this amount.

So 10,000/100 * 50 = 5,000

So all digital point posters are receiving 50% of their revenue I think this is right anyway. I don't take part so I could be wrong as I saw it as 50/50 cut.

Once you have that figure you then need to divide it by the amount of posts in the forum.

So 5,000/723,435 = 0.006911470968

Now depending on how many posts you write you may get that amount per post.

So if you write 100 posts on average you may receive:

0.006911470968 * 100 = $0.691147096

So you are likely to get $0.69 per average for every 100 posts that you write.

This is only an average and the figures are not 100% accurate as the posts are increasing all the time plus digitalpoint doesn't only earn from Adsense, etc.

But it may give you a better idea of what you may earn. Also don't forget that some of them posts will not count so that revenue will just go straight to digitalpoint. This is because some members haven't reached 50 posts yets and some members don't even take part like me.

[Jackson_Hu]

How many forums you can find to share the revenue ?FOr me I know DP only !

Basically your idea is good but I am just wondering how much time you need to spend for posting good quality articles on the forum to get that amount of $ .And at the same time other members on the forum they post their article ,too.:rolleyes:

As for me, I join DP forum just for fun hopefully find something that is worth to ponder too .. I didnt join DP for revenue sharing (even honestly I like the whole revenue sharing ideas thing)

Anyway, this is your point right? DP- Land of Freedom :D

[WhatUdo!]

Don't start a thread with a fake title "Revenue-sharing: > $5k per month?". What is wrong with you, idiot?

[john269]

I just use it as there is alot of information about my best subject and that is affiliate marketing and websites.

The revenue share program is something that I could take part in, but I would prefer not to take part in it.

For adsense revenue sharing programs. There are quite a few on the Web. I can get a list of them quite easily.

You have article revenue sharing programs, forum revenue sharing forums, etc.

By the way, while searching I checked out an article revenue sharing program out and what I saw I was amazed.

Infact it is a little odd. I guess they don't like making much money from Adsense or something.

The reasons for this is because you submit and article and on the page that your article is displayed your adsense id gets put into the nicely top centered google ad and the other two ads on the page, one at the bottom and one on the right has the sites adsense id.

Now I just looked to see if that was corrected so I went to the page and viewed the source.

I saw both of his ideas and because the article author probably has not got adsense or something his id was not there. Infact the ad was still there but with no publisher id, which means the site is just displaying the ad that is likely to get the most clicks with no id in it so he won't get paid even though it gets click on.

How odd is that!

[Sarangan]

As I know in on the net and from my own experience as webdesigner in 5 years there are not any better ways to earn money than working hard. ;)

Thats all!
Work hard to get more contents to your website and sleep forever. Adsense will pay you.

[wwwbug]

Hard work with your site, you will get more !

[kila]

I rather spend more time to build more website,that will be one of my residual income.

[MatthewN]

I think I have made about 5 cents through DP revenue sharing. I dont post that much, but if I did some multiplying of my post average per day to bring it up to 200 posts then I probably would make about 50 cents per day.

If you really want to do this then do it... but I personally think you are putting in more hard work then actually spending $8 and buying a domain to create your own content.

However, I am sure any forum owner will welcome a few hundred key word rich articles in to their forum ;)

[Fret-Less]

You only make money if you start a topic though, yeah? Or do you get something for merely posting? At any rate I think it's much better to concentrate on your website(s) than to worry about forum posts.

**Needs to go read up on that now**

[Fret-Less]

OK, I've read up and I understand now. I also found it amusing that my above post was my 48th or 49th so it all kinda "dovetailed" together.

[dlcmh]

....
How I worked this out is by taken $10,000 that digitalpoint claims that they earn from Adsense and I then use this amount.
....

John, thanks for sharing that figure - IMO, if I were DP's owner, I'd consider that a mighty small amount.

Anyway, as an update - I've already put aside the idea of earning from forum posts, thanks to the relatively dismal amounts seen in this thread so far ;)

[wwm]

thanks to the relatively dismal amounts seen in this thread so far

thats because google pay dismally (is taht a even a word?!)

anyways you have to remember revenue DOES NOT climb linerally as you get more traffic, and then theres smart pricing and so on and so forth


adsense profit = Very complicated equation which deserves a thread of its own ;)


anyways youll make more money from this forum by listening to good advice not spammin the forum with irrelevant posts

[Nexic]

Insanely bad idea O.O

Seriously even if you spent that amount of time writing exclusive articles for people at $5 a piece you'd earn more. Plus $1.40 was an exceptionally good day, on average you'd probably be lucky to get $0.30.

I don't think anyone really goes to any great trouble to make money out of the revenue sharing. It's just nice feeling to get paid to talk on the best forum on the net even if it's just $0.10.

[projectw3]

Basically I think everyone agrees that we make more money by spending the time building quality websites with quality content.

I did toy with the idea of adsense revenue sharing in www.sg-web-design.com but the site is still too young to draw any conclusion. I believe there must be other similar sites around, ...I'm not sure.

But so far, writers seem willing to come back and post articles, knowing that in the long run, it'll lead to some dollars.

Let's wait and see where it goes...

[john269]

They don't pay dismally. Google Adsense is one of the highest CPC programs online and with Google Adsense you know that you will get paid for all your work than what you would with 3rd tier ppc search engines that don't even bother paying their honest affiliates.

As longs as you don't cheat Adsense, you know you can earn a good amount of cash.

thats because google pay dismally (is taht a even a word?!)

[amnezia]

If you set up a blog with adsense and made 100 quality posts a day you would earn alot more than posting on forums.

<h1>mesothelioma keyworded for some good adsense clicks, hope dlcmh understands what to do now</h1>

well im going to join you in this stupid article writing thing mesothelioma, it seems that you have no mesothelioma idea that you are spending so much mesothelioma time to write all this. If mesothelioma you could just use that time to write a few hundred mesothelioma articles and do a few hours of mesothelioma link building you could make yourself a nice mesothelioma content based website. But if you do some good articles with some nice mesothelioma expensive keyowrds you could make even more money than talking about mesothelioma webmastery. so i guess i might be doing you some good mesothelioma by adding all these mesothelioma keywords and someone MAY actually mesothelioma search for this word and MAY actually see mesothelioma the link to this post in google. mesothelioma what would be even better is if someone were to actually mesothelioma click on one of the mesothelioma based ads, you will be laughing. then i would have mesothelioma to ask you to share some of that mesothelioma revenue with me as i did all the mesothelioma work in gaining that $14 click credited to your account.

mesothelioma cheers
