website "expert"

[vstricklin]

I was driving my car and listening to AM radio, Michael Savage, I believe. He has 1 million unique views to his website every month, and was talking to an "expert" about how one would "monetize" a website like his. She said with a banner ad where he would get paid a few cents every time someone clicked the ad, he could expect to make about $5,000 a month. With ONE MILLION uniques! I just about cried. Here I am with my baby site, no traffic, big dreams, and I need 1 million uniques to make $5,000!? Thank GOD the next guy that called said no, there were to many variables, a site with that kind of traffic could make 5,000 20,000 even 100,000 a month. This guy wasn't a traditional advertising guy, he has financially related websites and opt-in lists up the ying-yang. My optomism is restored. I was telling my husband the other day, the opt-in newsletter is a goldmine, if only I learn to do it right. So that's why I bought Rosalind's book, and why I hang out here. With more and more people buying online, I think there's plenty of money to go around, it's just a matter of working smart to get it.

Thank you for writing the book, Rosalind. I had a real "holy cow" kind of epiphany when I read it for the first time.
