What advice would you give a young entrepreneur trying to make money online running community driven websites?
You can’t set up a forum, invite people over, and expect it to flourish. Be unique, and think like a businessman. Ask yourself questions. Why do people sign up and leave? Why are people not posting? Do something UNIQUE that makes guests WANT to stay. Strategize on how to be successful. ZuneBoards was established months before the Zune itself was released, because I knew it’d give us a head start on search rankings. We recruited hackers before the Zune was released, and as soon as it was released, we released a Zune hack within days. That Zune hack was our huge “breakthrough,” as we started to receive tens and thousands of hits, and hundreds of registrations in a single day. We continued to release these types of things often, and we, ZuneBoards STOOD for something. It wasn’t just another place to talk about zunes, it was a unique place to discuss the modding of the Zune. But don’t just stop there. Continue to seek more and more ways to make your community stand for something. Monopolize, outsmart your competition. As soon as Zune Games were confirmed, we immediately started setting out plans on how to dominate in that category. We set up forum categories for Zune games (note, that this is still months they were actually released), and immediately started SEO work, and set up a plan of what exactly to do as soon as games for the Zune were released.
Use your resources. Use your staff. Use Digg, Reddit, and other large sites. If you have GOOD content, then Digg, Reddit, Engadget, Gizmodo, and other mega-sites (depending on the niche), should have no problem featuring you.
Don’t overdo your ads, it will turn people away. Try your best to stay away from annoying flashy ads, and those that expand over your content. Depending on your niche, some ads will do better than others. Play around with ad sizes, colors, and types. Don’t make your revenue stream dependent on one network, use a variety of them. You will notice that during some seasons, some networks will do better than others. Try playing around with both CPC, CPM, and even CPA ads. You’ll be surprised to see how well they work together.

[...] that it really doesn’t matter who you are — you can be 15 like Han Sup Yoon who recently sold Zuneboards.com for $62000 or you can have multiple Ph.D.’s slack off on the Internet, and everyone regard you as a nobody. [...]
