Do what you will but I think if you continue with this and put a lot of work in, after 6 months you'll maybe have a few hundred $ to show for it. However, IMO if you take AffAholic's advice it is quite possible you will have made many thousands.

Basically what I'm saying is that every hour spent working on a big niche like teeth whitening, weight loss, gambling, payday loans etc is worth a multitude more than an hour spent working on your current project.

Good luck either way though.

Thanks xentech.

This project is my launch pad to the bigger and more lucrative affiliate programs. Start with what I know and breach out from there, eh?

And I do think I can earn a pretty penny from this - Hostgator pays up to $125 per new client I send in.

Either way - thanks for the advice.
 
If you're providing technical information, especially in this area, you will need to dedicate a small amount of time every day or so to making sure your information is up to date- this is where I see a lot of these types of sites fail.

You could keep the old pages up since they'll probably be indexed and bringing people in, just have a way to provide a clear notice that the information is for previous versions and link to the newer info.

Sounds good. Do you have any experience in the "How-to" tech websites?
 
I feel like this is a hard niche to make money in because the people that will be reading your site will be well informed of AM techniques and will be able to find and tweak free themes just as easily.

What other ways are you planning on monetizing?

PS: First Post! I tried to read a good bit before posting as to avoid asking the typical "what is AM?" and "How much money can I make?" questions.
 
SEO is damn easy - but it takes a fooking lifetime to get links.

I decided it was time to use AffAholic's advice - start hooking up with affiliate networks and learning about real affiliate marketing.

Problem is - because I am still a minor - I wasn't accepted by any network.

Son. Of. A. Bitch.

If anyone began affiliate marketing as a teen - please post some advice!

Or better yet - does anyone know of a network that takes teens?

Ima keep looking for teh golden affiliate network that will take me in the meantime.
