Ask HN: What revenue sources exist for content based sites?

1 points by badmash69 14 years ago | 1 comment

I have read the techcrunch teardown (http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/10/teardown-13-ways-10-million-revenues/) and I understand ad-supported sites are very tough to execute. However, if one were contemplating running a content site, what sources of revenues exist ? How do you go about it ? Any ad network and affiliate network you would recommend ?

So if the minimum revenue expectation from a website is $10k ( with salary and other operating costs), how much traffic is needed to sustain that using the revenue source ? How many daily/monthly unique visitors would one need? do ad networks even consider you when you are starting out ?
