I am not sure if affiliate marketing count as a content site, you are always "selling" something directly or indirectly in order to make income, at http://toptalkedbooks.com http://toptalkedbooks.com, we present the best books to users from HN, stackoverflow and reddit. I think the bottom line is, give quality content to users, income will follow.
- modernyogihippy 9y agoInteresting site but how do you drive traffic? There's no traditional blog or long-form content. The site is literally a compilation of books. Though it's useful, useful I don't see how users will find it online organically at least.
- guohuang 9y agoGood question, we don't have an answer yet, we are still finding a better way to get more organic traffic. Thanks for finding it useful.
- wingerlang 9y agoI guess one way it posting it on HN. This is probably the 10th time I've seen the page mentioned and I guess HN people are the exact audience for the site.
- gillyb 9y agoCan you share at least a ballpark figure of how much you make from the affiliates on the site? And how many monthly users you have?
- guohuang 9y agoIt really depends on the traffic, we have launched the site for only a month, we've got about 9k users so far (mid aug til now), revenue is about $200
- znpy 9y agoHappy to see a book I linked the other day is now on that website.
- guohuang 9y agoHappy to hear that, we just did another update this morning. :)
