Hi guys, new here, but longtime web developer/marketing.
On a whim, about two months ago I started a political/conspiracy website & connected Facebook groups. Without getting any more specific, it's a niche site and has taken off way beyond what I expected, and growing daily.
Stats:
avg 17,000 hits/month
98.01% American traffic
83.9% of visitors are ages 45-older
around 1:10 average time spent on site per visit
around 6,000 audience on social
I currently have Adsense implemented. I'm making an average of $4-6 a day from it (not evenly, it goes from $3 one day to $9 another day, not sure why).
I've started building an email list by harvesting comment emails & an opt-in, no strategy in mind but I figured I better set up the system while I figure it out. However I am not really sure the best way to go from here.
I spend maybe 15-30 minutes a day writing content, putting a few links out there, moderating comments, building the list.
I've thought about just selling the site, but don't even know where to arrive at a valuation. I'd also be open to keeping the site if it's able to be further monetized.
Any ideas?
