I posted a link in my signature of the gaming review site my brother started about a month ago. He started this with little to no knowledge of building a site, thus it is hosted on Blogger instead of Wordpress, however, he did get a good .com domain for it and has already gotten business cards for his site.
So far he has driven about 40k visitors, mostly through linking to reviews he's left on major gaming sites and has driven some Ad-Sense revenue, however, I keep harping on him to sign up for The Challenge so he can better promote through SEO and create better affiliate links on there to better monetize his traffic.
In addition, he's reaching out to the major gaming companies to get products to review and has already had success with Nyko in getting the new Raven controller to review and he is also looking into major gaming conventions that he can register for as a vendor.
At the moment I am proud of him for creating quality and unique content as well as understanding the need for going "niche"(we discussed today how he goes after the 2nd level games instead of the games that everyone is reviewing), however, I know that this can grow to be a nice fastlane venture, which I would like to join up as a consultant with an agreement for equity in exchange for doing some promotional work and helping to monetize this considering that I will be very busy with the tax business coming this winter.
So with that in mind, what are your initial impressions of this site and what should he do in the short-term to:
-keep driving traffic
-better monetize the traffic
As far as the long-term, I have already discussed creating an eBook and reaching out to top affiliate marketers to help promote and sell through the major networks(Clickbank, CJ, Paydotcom, etc).
Thanks!
