Please Help Monetize My Site Further - 800 Unique A Days

3 replies
Hey all,

I would really appreciate a little help.

OK I run a wedding venue website (I am not too sure if I can show the URL as I don't want self promotion issues) and I would like to try and monetize it further.

Basically its the top wedding venue website for African weddings and honeymoons. We have some real high end venues (private game reserves, private islands) that charge $500+ pppn! We are getting 800 uniques a day (a number which has doubled in the last 2 months).

The way it works:

There are two ways to advertise on the website:

1. The venues pay a yearly subscription and get a full page advert on the site.

2. They can come one for free but when they get a booking through us they pay us a comm.

OK so it is making some pretty nice money, but I really feel like we can do more with it.

Unfortunately Adsense is out of the question as the venues (understandably) complain when their competitors advertise on their profile.

I have tried a few weight loss programs (lose those weight before your big day) but they have not really worked.

I was wondering whether anyone could come up with a few ideas that I could try to make some money off of my visitors?

Thanks in advance

Pete

    you can offer ads for related services, like photographers, dressmakers, florists, etc....

    and you can also run this on a referral basis.....that way you can pick your advertisers

    also..limousine hire
    tuxedo rentals
    accommodation for wedding guests
    honeymoon travel packages.....

    just think of what is involved inn a wedding from start to finish.....you may find yourself running out of space before u run out of ideas

    Hi Grumpy Jack,

    Thanks for that advice.

    Yep I have tried to get photographers etc. on, the problem is people are coming the website looking for venues and honeymoons. Wedding photographers are reluctant to come on.

    We don't too many good affiliate offers for the South African market unfortunately.
