How can I monetize a FREE membership website with webmaster digital goods? I have 46 members and few uniques a day. Any suggestions? Anyone wants to partner with me?
Hi You could charge compaines to put their product on your site and say have it featured on the home page. Any type of advertisment should work. (adsense) Also selling software as an affiliate could bring in some money. Hope that helps. Tom
An Error has occured Cannot open /home/brokerde/public_html/amember/data/.htpasswd for write. Make directory /home/brokerde/public_html/amember/data and this file writeable for PHP scripts. Please read FAQ item about this issue Code (markup): Tryed to signup at your site and got the above error
Become a leader in your niche via SEO, and links, etc. Once you have either.. 1. Good traffic. 2. Solid, active, membership base 3. Great SERPS Go out and contact people in the same industry and offer them adspace for a monthly rate. Make sure you have ad placement built in, and so a nice presentation like you see on shoemoney. Good luck toots.
Just reload the page and try again. My hosting company is moving their "business" to more powerful servers so bugs are expected. Thanks for your replies. Would you consider this "niche" to be still profitable? Should I remove the membership script and just offer direct downloads with some text-based ads or should I keep the website in the form as it is right now and collect members?
I think you should try it out both. Test it and then go from there. Remember, the real-world result may not be what you would have imagined...
