Alright guys im in need of some help. What is your suggestion on the most profitable type of site to start? A site selling a product, generating revenue from ads, or a mass affiliate site (in a niche). Which one of these in general do you think of the best chances of success? Can you rank them in order? thanks
My advice is not to pick what website to start this way. Find something that interests you and that you are very knowledable about or willing to learn a great deal about the subject and then make a site from there. But to answer your question, well I cant. Sell a product - Amazon.com makes a ton of money Generate through ads - Myspace makes a ton of money mass affiliate site - Porn/Poker/Viagra sites makes tons of money Every different way can make you all the money you will ever need. I guess I am not help to you.
Yea thats the point, I have things that interests me, but I dont know which way to go with the niche. Also honestly, Im the type of person where "money" is my passion, just to be honest I dont care what the subject is, tell me it's profitable and I'll make it my passion. Hope that makes sense (I've done this before in life numerous times).
This is actually very good advice. Everyone is becoming too obsessed with trying to find the best way to make tons of money. Do yourself and the web a favor and follow Aaron's advice: Do something you are passionate about.
Yea, I agree, it's great advice. But still, lets say Im passionate about hip hop. I can either make a free hip hop site and get paid off ads, create / sell my own hip hop related products, or become an affiliate and sell hiphop products. I think you guys have gotten the question slightly miscontrued.
Do you have a specific topic(s) that you are considering? It will be easier to give you advice if we have some specifics
hmmm, well, I was honestly thinking in general, I gues it would matter on a site per site basis. I was basically thinking which of my sites (all of different topics) should I put most of my time into. Since I just got layed off though I think Ill just make it a balanced attacked. Im just struggling right now trying to make wine out of peanuts. Im trying my best to get some traffic from somewhere without having to pay money, but I may have to cough up a little cash.
