    There are a ton of things that you can do to make money off of your directory, but by far the best one is going to be visibility. The more you are seen the better chance you have at getting submissions. As time goes on you may no longer really need to promote as much as you use to because most webmasters will already know who you are. But for starters you need as much exposure as you can get. Start there and then work you way on other things.

    You could try making a bidding directory, for example my one at http://linkerr.com basically it works by allowing people to bid on their link to make it rank higher, and everyone wants more exposure :) so it works really well!

    Most people who make money know and understand how they are going to make it before they start a project. Implimenting that project is then just the process needed to attain the goals set. Starting without these plans or at least some idea of what you are doing will result often in disapointment and or quick fixes that are at best half assed resulting in further frustration. Plan and understand first then plan and understand again before starting.

    That's very good advice.
    Also keep in mind that people won't give you their money without a good reason to do it, they want to get some value in exchange.
    Think about what you will be giving them, think about how they will know about you, plan how you will turn your ideas into something real. Lastly implement your plan.
