Is starting an article directory still profitable?

Is it still profitable?

Any tips to share?

 

It's profitable only if you start it in a certain niche, and not like a general directory.

 

Why is that so?

 

that's right

 

There are many directories on the web. You will need to come up with something that differs your directory among the others.

 

IDK that is a hard one to answer. Whenever I look at something like this I think to myself. What can Offer the top dogs cant or what can I do better than them. There would have to be a reason why your site is picked over osmeone elses.

 

It's a pretty saturated sector now a days, as others have said there's more to be made focusing on a niche, but even then I wouldn't be overly expectant.. Personally I think it'd be wiser to reconsider and focus your time and effort elsewhere!

Good luck either way.

 

I would agree you have to come up with something that will set you apart from the sheep.

Having said that, for a while I've been thinking of throwing something together to add on to my (to-be) network of sites just to fatten in out a bit(incase I decide to sell it some day). I'll probably do it some time after I finish my current project (which includes creating a CMS so future projects will be completed faster )

 

I guess its better for me to start thinking on working something else instead.

Thanks for the replies guys. Really appreciated it.
