Just launched my brand new site!

[Nikstokes]

Great news guys! I got approved for google adsense and made my first profit from my website!!!! $0.24! It's not a lot but it's something. Im sure it seems like something stupid to be excited about but the fact that I'm making some type of money from my site really motivates me!

Now I'm just trying to figure out what I can offer to people at a price.

Looks good. Is this a media site? How do you plan to monitize this?

It was a friend who wrote for me. That's the only article I used from her and have hired a contributing writer and am in the process of hiring another one. Go to www.retiredyouth.com/making-your-business-a-brand this article was written by a writer I hired.

Give some facts!

The first practice of branding can be traced back as far as 3000 years ago. do some research and invent a story, not very many people will be able to prove your story unlikely.

Give some examples! Tell A Story!

Coca-Cola Tide Disney Pepsi-Cola etc.

Different types of brand awareness

Aided awareness and strategic awareness

I think these are the bare necessities required to provide valuable content to a site such as yours.

But really I don't know much I've only been studying how to provide valuable website content for about a week now.

Nick,

I have a quick question. Where do you get the pictures used on the site, such as on this page?
http://www.retiredyouth.com/unstoppable.html

Site looks good so far, sad to say it but I think putting some ads up might actually make the site look more...full? Not sure what I'm getting at here, I just see a lot of white, which is a good, but maybe instead of ads, extend the sidebar further down the page to take up more room.

Also, how many sales of the ebook have you gotten thus far? Exciting to see something like this started up.

Thanks alot!

Thanks again for the advice! I get the pictures from a website called Unsplash, it's free, high resolution copyright free photos.

My ebook hasn't sold too much, although I haven't marketed it like crazy either. If anyone is interested in getting it. Insert this coupon code to get 50% off: ryby2014

Hi,

I like the name but it's not easy to navigate - try and make it more obvious. It's is missing a carrot to entice me in - Would it be an idea to allow the customers to hear a few minutes of an interview to capture their interest?

This.

I'm an user, I'm lazy, I don't know where to click, too much things, I'm in panic, I leave.

Nice idea, reminds me of http://elitedaily.com/, maybe you can take some inspiration from there.

Great site. One piece of personal advice: I don't think it's necessary to separate men interviews and women interviews. Put them under the same category and perhaps group them by their niche/industry, so there is some organization. The whole "men's" and "women's" thing looks grammatically incorrect to me, but I don't believe it is.

Beautiful domain name, nice concept.

I will suggest that you make your post title more punchy especially for the posts on the interviews.

You don't have so many visitors yet. I suggest applying some SEO tactics to improve your ranking.

Try adding a video clip of you promoting the concept showing how passionate you are about retiring young
