Storm8 Racing Live eBooks? I'm losing money here!

4 replies
Hi,

I've recently switched my main autoblog from articles to RSS. The articles were just complete tripe, duplicated and spun beyond recognition to the point where I couldn't even bare to look at my own website it was such a horrific trainwreck - and I expected to make money from it!

Well I made the not so drastic decision to wipe my WP and start afresh with a tech orientated autoblog - (katanga.co.uk) I managed a completely fresh install of WP, all plugins, automated RSS feeds etc. in 15 minutes! Anyway, one article I wrote myself based on the imited knowledge I had of the game was on the iPhone game - Racing Live. The links to this I left on various forums and are now this is bringing me on average 150 unique visitors per day and has been for quite a while - thing is my site is now all about tech - not games although I have duplicated the original article and a 404 plugin finds it nicely.

Cutting to the chase, how can I monetise this? Even though it is an immensly popular game on the iPhone there are no eBooks on Clickbank et al for me to advertise and I haven't got time to write one myself - too busy promoting my other blogs. I don't want to just say goodbye to a potential 1,000 customers a week!

  • Those style of games are notoriously hard to monetise.

    Generally, the only way I've seen is to charge people to have their code listed in a prime position on the web page (the code identifies your racing crew and to succeed in the game you need to join up with other players, for which you need to know their codes).

    The other possibility is to outsource creation of the guide, but finding someone with the knowledge to do so will be difficult. You could try posting bulletins within the game itself, asking for people to e-mail you with their hints, then compile those into a guide. People get their code listed in return for the hint. That would be much quicker than writing a guide from scratch.

      Hmmm just checked - I'm No.1 on Google.co.uk now for Racing Live Cheats. What's odd though is a friend of mine a 100 miles away chatting to me online said I was No. 2 on the same co.uk Google??? Very strange.

      Thanks for the advice. I think I'll get together some more info on beating this game and pack it into an eBook and market it from my site - can't hurt!

      Thanks again.

  • I've just searched google.co.uk and find you at No. 4 (or No. 2 if I restrict the search to 'Pages from Within the UK'). Still, well within the range for which people will find you.
