    Just started the directory business in the last quarter of 2007.
    And so far i earned less than $5.

    Maybe because i did not promote it very much.

    But i'm curious how are your earnings in the first quarter of this year?

    You may be on to something there....

    Asking others how much they make is not really polite. ;)

    better to spend more time promoting than worrying what others are earning

    I've made some good bucks this year to be honest...and a big part of them came from the services I offer on my directory...I'm now thinking on offering more services....
    Cheers and success !

    Not enough to buy a car. :(

    But I'm optimistic, maybe at the end of the year it'll be enough to buy a car. :)

    My income from a niche directory is up through listing sales.

    I posted some articles which seemed to get the word out...

    Still sucks. Don't get into the directory business and you won't have to worry about it :-P

    It is really depending on promotion scheme and good luck from Google side.
