How do Placez Associate Sites Make Money?

[Aaron]

Placez associate sites have several revenue models, including:

• Google Adsense and other CPC Networks
• Direct Advertising Sales
• Expanded Business Directory Services
• Real Estate Listing Services

We will be doing ongoing research and module development to create new revenue opportunities for our associates.

How much can a Placez associate website make?

The amount individual associate websites makes is dependent on an array of factors including economic conditions in a particular area, size of area, how much time the website owner can dedicate to content development, quality of content, and whether the website owner wants to do local advertising sales.

Placez makes no specific guarantees on the performance of any particular website in the Placez network. What we can tell you is that a motivated person that is dedicated to the project over years could certainly generate a nice second income, and possibly make this a full time job.

This is a long term comittment! Plan on doing content development for at least a year before seeing any returns!

While it is certainly possible to generate an income in less time than a year*, you should view this as a long term comittment. It takes two to four years for most websites to become established. The good news is that once websites are established, they will often continue to generate revenue for years with little ongoing maintenance required by the owner!
