How can a website for kids make profit?

4 replies
Hello guys,

i am a new member in the forum, and i need your help on a project i am working on. I have to create a strategy for a company called Swapit in terms of increasing the profitability of their swapping (trading) platform for children and young people.

So far, their profit has been generated from selling data and making partnerships but they shoulder the processing costs because due to legal issues, kids cannot interact to each other.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Place some very targeted ads. Make sure they aren't offensive and they are targeted to kids. Kids love to click on shiny things wich are appealing to them.

    You can probably just use Adsense for this.
