    If only it were so easy...

    You should add a part where you mention that they would need to invest to begin with

    Making a directory can be a slow process and it takes time to generate that kind of revenue

    I personally donot see PPC programs working well where you are a paid submission structure

    Also, i have seen many sucessful directories work with affiliate programs.

    I believe that everything is investment, there's no such easy way to the road of success.

    But, if you're determine and open to all the possibilities, the opportunity is just step away from it. $3,000 is just a numerous clicks, leads, or sale.

    If you have a massive traffic and laying from the real niche of the market then you already hold the key.

    But we are talking about directories and not sites of mass apeal.

    The kind of audience you are getting determines the scope of monetization and how it is done.

    I will really like to see some directories where PPC and affiliate marketing is working well

    And if you say that everything is investment, then how much according to you would a person need to invest in his directory to make that kind of money?

    The title that you have given is very generic and misleading which undermines the hard work that a directory needs.

    Would be nice if you could describe what affiliate would work well on directories and personal experience would be the best

    If you categorized your directory properly (implement SEO strategies) and be sure that you always have a reciprocal link you will succeed on getting mass traffic. You can use CJ for affiliate know they really pay good. Put relevant products according to your category.

    Are you helping or asking for help as your pot seems to do both? Kiviniar is absolutely right that the pay per click model is only ever likely to work on massive directories like Yahoo, its very unlikely they'd benefit the standard levels to be found on forums like here, and thats including even the best of them.

    Affiliate programs are find, paid listings are fine as long as they are for review only.

    Do people like being called Geeks?

    Just need to look at the sig link, earning 3 grand :)

    Really, really, really, why oh why if your earning a nice bit daily/weekly/monthly would you share the tips and scerets with anyone.

    If i had the type of info id share it with my family first and keep it secret, id help my 2 sisters and secure incomes for them, doctors would give up their jobs.

    Theres 2 dozen threads daily here of riches :) you have to laugh.

    it is possible for a well-established directory, usually it is not true even you heavily promoted.

    I want to help at the same time i want to widen my idea with regards to this subject, There are lot of things I still don't known.

    Try to think more deeply, My journal is just a piece of puzzle and just part of $3,000 check on the pic.

    Things are become impossible to those who believe they cannot do. If Einstien before believe that you cannot destroy a city by a pound of atom, then.. E=mc2x wasn't become a scientific formula. PEACE OUT

    For a Filipino young guy you should be doing well making such an amount. Your making more than a Senator does. As pipes said, I would share it first with my family before going online. You can go and help the kababayans first so they would not take their chances at Wowowee. :D Members here could be all doing well if it was true as what your saying.

    *Sigh*

    I can't believe that this 2 days old post made a number one spot on google search on the keyphrase "Earn around $3,000" with 9,050 competitors :)

    Can always go against you though, like if a scammer didn't want clients reading certain info thats on the forum and if they type in a keyword or phrase and theres all the junk about you right at the top.

    I have to agree, the forum is very useful, more up to date than the best written ebooks, plenty help, tips, advice etc.

    have you ever run a web directory? show us your directory and let's see.

    There are many senior directory owners here and many of us didn't earn $3000 a month IMO.

    Same request from me too please, see marketing and money ideas are not really suitable accross every type of site, you cant take a fancy idea nevmoscoso, and say this will work on directories without having tried it yourself on a particular platform.

    Show me the money :) got any pics of yourself holding a few thousand in notes? forget screenshots of stats, we know they are easily faked.
