Hey guys,
i just joined warrior as i think it would be beneficial to learn from people here, especially most of them are experienced.

started site around nearly 1month old, have a blog on making cash online on the main page and a forum on the subdomain. the forum offers 100% adsense revenue share, dofollow sig with monthly rewards*, have been promoting on DP but not much of people seem to be seeing the potential or probably the activity is too low, so far it is pathetic with very low members.

i do see the potential in the domain name and i think theres plenty of room to grow especially with webmasters, ebook authors, mentors etc or advertising revenue from various field.

what should i do next? telling people and mostly they don't give a hoot about it and not much are interested at all.. is the idea THAT bad? what would you have done?

    Maybe you need to be clearer about what you're offering. I read your post three times and all I know is you have a new domain with a blog and nobody cares. That's not much to go on. Let me ask you something, are you making money with any other sites?

      How much SEO and Keyword research have you invested in this?
      How much content is on the site?
      Are you building a list?
      Are you showing people results from what you have accomplished?
      In this niche you are competing with a ton of people so you need a USP or Unique Selling Point.

        havent done SEO or keyword research investment..
        content is very less as its new still
        nope havent build a list
        i havent accomplished much tbh to show them
        yes, i thought 100% adsense and returning members rewards through cash etc would attract people to come in and when it increases, meanwhile can add more contents and maybe add articles from other authors to bring in more traffic, the general idea is to act as a hub/learning base for those keen on making cash online.
        is this very bad?

        That's what I suspected, and the reason I asked is because if you're not making money online now, why would you think you can teach others to make money online?

        Perhaps others can see through your offer, as I did your post. You can PM me the URL and I'll take a look.

    Well, if you write in your blog in a similar way as you posted here (i.e. sentences without sense, no punctuation, bad spelling...) then, most likely, nobody wants to see it. I wouldn't for sure!

    (p.s. You cannot PM until you get 50 posts)

    It's not a bad looking site. Pretty decent if you like the color scheme. The writing is better on the site than your writing in this forum. It makes me wonder if the same person wrote the content that is writing these posts? If you write at DP like you have here, that isn't going to lure many people.

    You answered your own question, in part, when you said you haven't done any seo, you haven't built a list, you haven't done any keyword research, you don't have much content...

    ...what do you expect? It isn't magic. People aren't going to flock to your web site because you want them to...you have to grind it out when you're just starting. Keep plugging away and keep learning, and for crying out loud, don't count on one forum to take you where you want to go.

    Start building links to your site at other places other than DP. Keep adding content. One month old isn't very old. You should be adding content daily. You should be visiting new forums relative to your content every day. Make some posts, contribute. Move on to the next one. Let your comments be helpful and your signature do the talking.

    Go to some of the new site announcement lists and newsgroups and announce your site. Scout is a good one. Create a nice freebie and offer to ezine publishers to give to their lists. Make them look and promote your site LIGHTLY with the freebie. Send out a press release announcing your site. Create a useful ebook and give it way and get it listed in ebook directories. There are tons of ways to drive traffic to a website, but you can't just park your car in the garage and wait for it...get GOING!

      Thank you very much dennis, you are right, i should continue to increase the content and get traffic from other places.

      I'm probably too impatient and out of focus, thinking of immediate results. This happen and usually it leads to typing errors without knowing.

      The tips for promoting the site is great and i will keep refer back to your post to use them.

      This forum is fantastic, am looking forward to sticking around and learning from members here.

    In my opinion, if you're "green" or a "noob" ... the making money online is no place to start if you really don't know how to make money online. Why pick the most saturated niche on a topic that you know nothing about?

    You need to try your hand at less competitive niches, learn to master them and make some money. There's a lot of info on the WF about keyword and niche research.
