Then how would you suggest? CPM ads also pay very little :(
I just need enough to cover hosting fees first.
that's the general trend now .... even sgforums uses the same
model ... pay per click can be too expensive for the advertisers
....
my advice ... looking at the success and failures of my few
clients in the short time since I started this thingy, I'd say you
must be prepared to pump in the money when it comes to ecommerce...
you do get what you pay for, from the website design to the payment
gateway ... I mean, just look at marketplace, every few
days someone comes along and tells the whole world about their
blogs selling clothes and fashion .... it's another bubble tea run
isn't it ? ....
but i do have a client who's clocking up >$10000 in the past
two month selling stuff in a very specialized niche market (damm !
... I should have charged him a lot more !)
as for making money from ads ... don't even think of it now ...
be prepared to lose money .... if it's a directory, forget it ...
i've known sgmall if you're thinking of implementing your
rich-dad-poor-dad theories by doing something like this, I think
you'd be better off learning about forex futures and automated
trading systems .....
