I am just think to start a new site and I am stuck with 2 choices. A Blog or A Forum Which one do you suggest to earn a lot(loads and loads, which empties the ATM machine when I withdraw ) ???
They both can return good revenue, I would say a blog for quicker $. But both will require much work and dedication to accomplish a good ROI.
Forums have a low CTR. You get many repeat visitors with a forum and they become blind to your ads. The upside to a forum is that your users can generate a lot of your content for you.
Blogs for sure. Forums need a large membership count from revenue. But forums will have a more constant revenue. They require more investment though
Well if your gonna choose one or the other, I would go with a blog. What kind of content were you going to have?
A blog by its nature has much more potential with affiliate based ad networks as opposed to Google AdSense. However, when you are starting a blog from scratch AdSense is a great way to make money. On a forum, AdSense can work very well especially if someone targets your site with a CPM campaign. Based on your original question, it sounds like you are looking for a quick solution to make money. If thats the case, go with a blog as it will be much easier to ramp up your earnings. If you're in it for the long haul, start a forum!
I would say a blog. It is hard and time intensive work to start a forum and try to get it going. Most forums fail with in 6 months unless you have a huge budget to out into it. Most of the ones that do not fail in 6 months fail with in a year. Trying to get members is difficult and expensive. Blogs you can start cheaply. It takes some time to promote and do SEO but after that you can maintain it for an hour or less a day.
