How much time does it take to manage? I can't imagine it's too demanding if the lists are user-generated. I say keep it...it could be that if the site gets a food sized following, you might be able to make a fair amount from advertising. I have a friend who runs a site with scraped news articles and a forum, and he's making $80K a year on ads alone. Of course it took 10 years to get to that point, but he didn't have to touch the site more than an hour or two each month.
- marilyn 16y agoI would love it if LC could be a 80K/year site in 10 years! I'm expecting there to be considerable effort involved in user acquisition, which is an area I'm not terribly experience with. If anyone has advice in this arena, I'm all ears!
- kls 16y agoThe quickest way is to buy interested eyeballs (adwords or some other route). You can set you budget for the month and grow the budget as the user base and advertising revenue grows. But if you want to see astronomical growth, you have to have a compelling reason for people to refer you via word of mouth. As well posting to aggregators like this is not a bad way to get people to take a look. Just don't get too spammy with it and by all means don't violate other sites terms of use trying to get your name out there.
