Webforum profit?
I have a new biz idea and I'm trying to decide whether to give the service for free via a web forum or setup a database and charge.
If you have a mildly visited web forum with no associated sales side (unlike Pelican) how much income would you earn from sponsors/banner ads? This would be car related info specific to any vehicle so a database such as carfax would be optimal but obviously a larger initial investment in the website, information and data. Sorry for the vague info but you know how it is. |

When we buy online ads it costs, on average, 10k for 1M impressions.
You need to serve up millions of impressions a month to make any real money.

I think I'm going to start a forum for a test of interest then move to a commerce site if it catches on. |
