Is it worth trying to monetize this site?
I also started a blog but after an iniital rush of enthusiasm it fizzled out and I hadn't posted anything for about a year (until today when I made a new post).
What has prompted me to think about possibly monetizing this site is the fact that I am getting more and more emails from people who have downloaded my Free report, asking for extra advice. They seem to perceive me as an expert on hypoglycemia.
Traffic seems to be increasing to the site and blog, despite the fact I haven't touched it for over a year. I did a Google search for 'best diet for hypoglycemia' and my site is on page one!
I have a list of about 1500 people who have downloaded the free report. I have never followed them up, apart from those who have emailed me with questions. I'm now getting one or two questions per week.
The point is, I don't want to put a lot of time and effort into trying to monetize this site if the potential is too low. I am already making a good income from my main business as a web designer. But if I am overlooking something that is a potential business opportunity, then naturally I would like to try and take advantage of it.
The obvious options are to write an e-book and sell it, or start a membership site. But I'm not convinced I would make enough from either of those to really justify it. I could also sell products from the site as an affiliate.
The bottom line is, I don't want to try and monetize this site unless it has major income -producing potential, otherwise I'm just taking valuable time away from my existing web business. So it would need to be able to produce at least $5000 a month to make it worth doing.
