How can I monitize a conspiracy theory website/blog?

7. Vaccinations stuff

Well, I guess it's just "karma" when those idiots die an agonizing death due to tetanus infection.

Go drink some hydrofluoric acid, it will disable the mindreading microchips you get with every vaccination....

To the latter you can market anything, including tin foil hats.

You know those hats are part of the plot, right?

Just put on adsense and amazon books or dvd's or something.

DVDs. There's a .info site in my area that plasters stickers all over the place. I was curious, I went to it, they sell DVD "documentaries" about conspiracies.

careful, you might confuse who your target demographic is.. people who want to be self sufficient for economic or environmental reasons are generally very different than those that think the government is spying on them through alien implants.
Confusing those 2 groups (and many more in between) would be like trying to market vinyl decals, huge spoilers, 6" exhaust tips and neon light kits to people who restore american muscle cars because you assume all car guys are the same.

Market to the right niche, otherwise you'll end up with annoyed visitors who won't buy anything.. you might find some nuts who want to buy organic seeds from you, but I think you'd be more likely to encounter people who were looking to buy organic supplies for the right reasons, that get pissed off that you'd associate that with kook stuff.
besides, anyone paranoid enough to buy seeds because they think the government is controlling their minds through food chemicals (or whatever they think), is probably too paranoid to buy seeds from an unknown source anyways.

There are many legitimate reasons to want to eat healthy food, but not a single one for wearing a tinfoil hat.. unless you're going to a halloween party... but any time you find people that actually listen to insane sh*t from wackos like alex jones or glen beck, you know you have a market that will buy almost anything you put in front of them if you spin it the right way, whether through a desire to gain knowledge "they" don't want you to have, or just scare them into thinking they'll die without whatever you're selling them.. either way, you can sell them stuff.

Just make sure it's the right stuff.

One other thought, if you want to create a very BH info product with this concept... pick a recent big event, such as a natural disaster (there have been a lot lately, take your pick) and try to explain it as a conspiracy... for example... in the 1920s or 1930s, Nikola Tesla (famous for inventing the electrical power system we all use today, as well as other trivial bits of technology such as radio, an early version of radar, and the speedometer too I believe) invented an earthquake machine.

Yes, an earthquake machine. Now, it doesn't matter that a few years ago everyone's favorite skeptics Mythbusters built one to test and found that it didn't do anywhere near the amount of damage it's claimed to be capable of... because there are people out there who Believe. If you write a report about the earthquake machine (patent diagrams available online, google them), and then lots of news stories about a recent rise in the amount of earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, etc.. someone somewhere will bend over backwards to buy it from you.. even more so if you correlate it with some other event or situation. "everybody was so transfixed watching the disaster on CNN, nobody even noticed the small object that fell through the atmosphere and was recovered by a US army team!" and include a blurry photo of a speck in the sky, and then some soldiers on a training exercise... etc.

make it wacky, people will listen. probably not people you want to associate with, but people who you might not feel too badly parting from their money. You're selling a story, they're buying a story... they might believe it's real, but then again there are people who think Twilight is real.

Aha! I knew you were part of the conspiracy.

Is joke - good stuff you wrote all around, just had to pimp you about the tinfoil hat. Besides everybody knows tinfoil undergarments are much more effective.

Torture an IPAD to death but use a real gun.

No no no... tinfoil is just for hats. For undergarments you want to use lead. That way you're covered for both aliens *and* superman.

If you're still looking to monetize that conspiracy website, you'll love this.

I just came across it at CBEngine. Its an ebook on the 2012 prophecies.

Looks like its starting to convert well.

Note: this is not my site, nor am I affiliated in any way with it.


Try selling this to your site visitors!

Peace

Gambit

sell some ad space if it's going to be cool. Make yourself a figure and build a cult like following then have everyone sell all of their belongings & give the money to you so you can buy a farm but you'll want to call it a compound. Then after you have them all brainwashed you can have them do all of the labor for you on your farm.

That might be a little more long term than your looking for though.

Okay, here are my two cents:

- Look at what the Coast-To-Coast-AM website is doing:

Code:

[/URL][URL]http://www.coasttocoastam.com/[/URL]

- Try some offers regarding selling / buying GOLD. Below is
a very good website for this purpose since they are GIVING AWAY ONE
GRAM of BULLION GOLD(!) just for signing up with them:

[URL="http://www.gvogold.com/"]

Code:

[/URL][URL]http://www.gvogold.com/[/URL]

Does it help a bit?

When searched for CPA offers i got these clickbank products with conspiracy as tags.

May be of some use to you. You can try selling amazon ebooks also. All depends on amount of traffic.
