How much you earned from directories? What is your expectation?

    I earned averagely about $200-$300 a month from all my directories...

    How about you? what is your expectation?

    Is $5000 a month possible? ($5000 pm is roughly salary for an assistant professor that is my career goal)

    How many directories we need for this amount money? 5 PR 6 directories?

    It looks I have too many questions. :)


    Thanks for attention.

    to make 5k a month from a directory all you need is a clone of like aviva or alive, well I would say actually 3x more then that.

    I make around $300 from one paid directory a month, so far second one I make nice as well.

    Mine is only a month old and all I have done is spend on it... I'm deep in the hole so far. I hope to see a profit after the next couple of updates.

    Significant revenue potential is right there in front of every Directory on the NET

    The key is how you set-up your Directory to capture the submissions and its a lot broader and complex than just getting submissions from forums etc, valuable as they are, they are such a small percenatge of the the submission market

    For sure Directories who do not adopt sustainable marketing & support programs are not going to get a slice of the big market

    I have earned around $5 K's from my four directories in 1 year.

    So it is 1200 per year. Means 100 per month from each on average. :)

    But that was all when it had been getting links and climbing the Pagerank. Now they are established ones. So hoping to get some more.

    adsense is always there, so the money is there. i earn less then 300$ from the links, but then my directory is pr1, when it will hit some higher pr the rates will go up!:D

    one pr6 will be sufficient to make a lot of money:)

    Possible? Absolutely.

    How many? Anywhere from 1 to 100.

    Goal that is easily achieved? Absolutely not!

    You will go broke for the first few months of your directory (or directories) existence, since you will be spending a great deal of money on design, programming, promotion, etc....and won't be getting much in return. If you have the stomach to get past the first few months, then you should start to see some (modest) income from you directory (or directories). Directories require a heavier workload than most sites.

    I guess what I'm saying is this: trying to squeeze money from the Internet is hard, and trying to do it by owning a directory is even harder. I wish you the best of luck!
