Default How much one earns with a directory?

Hi People,

I just want to ask that how much can one person make with a directory normally? I know this isn't easy but I just want to have some thoughts on this.

It depends on your directory. is it general? is it niche? are you using some sort of adsense? are adsense ads high paying? low paying? how much promotion have you done? too much stuff. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

If you think starting a directory is going to:

1. Put food on the table
2. Pay your rent
3. Pay your phone
4. Pay your electric & water
5. Pay your car and car insurance
6. Pay your internet connection
7. [insert misc others]

Then I honestly suggest you choose an alternative means for a source of income. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I think 90% of directories don’t make any money. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

proof?

all directories at the initial stage do make some, but once the flow trickles down and the owner loses interest, it stops making any. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Hmm, not sure about that one..I agree with you that a directory will PROBABLY not pay ALL of those, but I know my dietdirectory could pay my monthly phone and car insurance together and that directory isn't all that o -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

It really depends on how much you promote it, I have heard people earn as low as $20 a month and as high as $10,000 a month. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
