How can I make $6,000/mo on my site?

A partner of mine and I are going to be starting a new community site with a certain theme (we've got to keep it under wraps for the moment). What level of traffic do we need to have in order to be making $6,000/mo. on our site with PPC advertising?

 

6000 ! wow ! you got a long way to go !

 

I guess I should have expected this sort of response...I know I know, we've got a long time to go really slogging away day and night lots of thankless hours...but isn't there some kind of formula or predictive model we could use?

 

I don't know how you can earn 6000$ per month... it is difficult to increase your traffic, position and PR

 

If there was a formula or predictive model then first of all:
1. Why would we give it to you?
2. Why wouldn't we be using it?

Anyways lets say you have a click ratio of 1% which isn't that bad but isn't that good. That means that every 100 visitors 1 clicks on a link. Lets say that your average CPC is $0.05 which isn't that bad but isn't that good. That means that for every 100 visitors you make $0.05. For every 1000 visitors you make $0.50 and for every 10000 visitors you make $5. Therefore to make your $6000 you need $6000/$0.05*(100/1)%=12,000,000. You need 12 million visitors per month to make that based on my model. 12 million/ 30 = 400,000 visitors per day.

If you increase the CPC to lets say $0.1 and the click ratio to lets say 5% then you get $6000/$0.1*(100/5)=1,200,000 visitors per month. Thats 10 times less! It all depends on your CPC and your click ratio although I think that 5% for a site like yours wouldn't be logical.

I think that this is a bit unrealistic but hell if you build a kickass site then its possible.

How is that for an expected response?

 

This is exactly the kind of response I was looking for... thank you so much, really appreciate it!

 

If you have a good budget (Say $5000), you can first buy a 3/4 letter domain or a site with PR5+ because advertising that will be easy and will convert into better traffic. Invest some for backlinking ($50), and $200-300 for SEO. Then, $1000+ for Adwords is essential and you can buy 100 links on good PR sites for another $1500.

Actually, there are so many things you can do with a budget. Without any budget, all I can say is 'Good Luck'

 

the goal is really greet, i dont hope to earn 10$ per month with ppc. Still congra you if you could do it

 

well thats $6,000 question, isn't it?

Live Sports OR Movies site.

 

at that amount of traffic i think you can easily make much more with ads from your own contracts with advertisers!

 

Here's some advice, build your site first before thinking of making 6000/month. I have a lot of strategy but you need a really busy website first

 

I know a very good method to get $$! No investment and only simple uploading. PM me for more info.

 

Buying traffic off eBay isn't such a bad idea either. 250,000 for $49. Probably would need to spend 200+ to get a dedicated community.

 

Why not build the site first and make great site, then the trafiic will come. By doing that, I'm sure, you will get more money than you expect.

 

Also true. If you have quality. You'll get quantity.

 

You may also add popups but this is not usually the way to go as popups usually turn visitors away. Adsense would be a good way but this depends on the niche of your website also. You need to invest money into a website to make money remember that.

 

Right now what you want is unrealistic. You are going to have to have significant amount of traffic depending on the type of traffic and your niche. That being said... It's not impossible

One of my sites before I hopped it received around $1.50 - 3.50 a click. So as you can see it wouldn't take but 5,000 or less clicks to accomplish your goals with the niche I was running.
However the niche I was running was very competitive and would make it almost impossible to advertise on adwords without costly cost per click.

I never used adwords but for a brief time until I saw that the cost would overwhelm the worth of the traffic.

The key right now is to not worry about monetization. Monetization should be the very last thing you do.
You should focus on building traffic, and visitor loyalty. Once you have gained around 1500 - 3000 unique visitors
a month ( without advertising ) then consider a revenue model.

Good luck, and remember its not as easy as it seems.

 

create good content and increase your site traffic
This was enough to get $ 6000/mo

 

You need lots of good content and more than 100,000 unique visitors daily to get anywhere near $6,000 per month, just like the big sites. But this comes only for big sites that have been around for long time on the internet. If you are only starting up, I doubt if it is possible to make this kind of amounts entirely through adsense etc.
