if you think youre just gonna open a wordpress and make money then you'r dead wrong. you wont make shyt and the blog will be dead within a few months most likely

I think you're underestimating me but I know there's no way right now I can convince you I might have my lane here. Wordpress is just the start for now. :manny:

why are people going to go to your site as opposed to someone else's, especially one thats already established?

I understand all that from previous endeavors when I was younger making free sites on basic ass sitebuilders. As I said earlier, there is no way for me to convince you yet. I don't want to sound full of myself or clouded to what you're saying to me but time will tell. :ld:

i would co-sign what @cook said about thecoli
much of the discussion here is 'current events", stuff cribbed from other sites, and jokes that aren't universal
hard to monetize that type of content:manny:
although i think film/tv discussion can bank from some accounts i've read
some forums are profitable if they focus on Q&A
they get subsequent traffic of people googling the same question (niche keywords)
but even that has depreciated-
many stalwart Q&A sites that were feasting 2-3 years ago are hemorrhaging and laying people off:ld:

:lupe: if anyone is interested in business discussion??
there's a group that spunoff from lipstick alley
it is about 110-120 people currently (iirc)
websites/webmaster/etc. is one of the core categories

i think new signups are taken at the start of each new month
it is mostly black women but anyone is welcome
be warned- the discussion is a very different tone than biz talk at thecoli
no black nationalism or joking around
honestly you need to be pretty serious
i've seen people get straight up dropped from the group:damn:
you can find it through business alley section at lsa

I had a site awhile back... yourpuppyandyou.com

It was a niche blog about puppies...had a plugin that scraped and we worded articles. Made a little off Google before they became dikks.
Did some CPA stuff too awhile back....ate so good off CPALead :noah:

The whole making money on the internet thing is saturated to death at this point.







goon ass nikka had a site about puppies?
:dahell:

I've done a few when I was younger and the money isn't as residual as you think. I spent way more renewing domains, paying for a host, and designs than I actually made from parking and Adsense.

If you believe in it, go for it. But I personally wouldn't be diving in it with expectations to make money. Do it for recreation and passion.

^^ This.

Do not go in expecting to make money off the rip. Profitable niche/blog sites take a lot of grind time before they become money makers.

Stick with it though if you truly have a fire for your vision.

I know it'll take time but I know I can reach people fast as fukk in what I'm making the site about plus my graphic design skills are another big pull.

We'll see though, if I waste my time :manny:

Learning experience.
