How does Sgforum makes money?
-
Does it substain on its own, or it is owned and paid for by Jeyel Media (UK) Limited, or by Jason? Even if it substain on its own, I wonder how it can survive on with P-membership fees or even money pump in by Jason or even FireIce?

Those big pictures in the middle of the page is not there for nothing.
-
maybe split between Jason and FI?
-

We call it PM - premiere membershipOriginally posted by Texcoco II:hmmm yeah....but even so how much can Sgforums earn from it to cover expenses? -
Maybe Jason has other business outside. Most people maintain a site but they might have other business elsewhere. I'm just gussing BTW.
-
advertising.

u see those sticky treads jason put up in all the forums. there's were the money come from.
-
yeah, i mention earlier mah, u won't earn much from $10 P memberships, how many forummershere have p-memberships? Also let say we put 100 members with P members, 100 x $10 = $1000. Those servers maintanence alone gona cost a neutron bomb. With ever increase posts make maintanence even more and more expensive. Somemore we have to assume we have 100 P-members in the first place....but to me even 50 seems unrealistic to meOriginally posted by aku1b0d0:We call it PM - premiere membership

As long as it attracts people, they will earn?Originally posted by Texcoco II:hmmm yeah....but even so how much can Sgforums earn from it to cover expenses? -
The advertisements...

Hosting such sites won't cost a bomb, I got my own servers and it didn't cost me more than $100 every month maintaining it, though I'm abit budgetting, some servers stuff can cost more than that.
How such sites earn money is mainly through advertisements, such as the ads from google that you see on the left, and among the forum topics. Then there's also the P-memberships. Finally, sometimes it's not about the money. When you see that you have a website that many people frequent, then there is some kinda pride thingy, you won't understand until you have a site with high traffic and then people ask if you got visit for example ericwebsite.com and then you say, hey this website is mine! -
then people say that website for example ericwebsite.com is complete rubbish and would you say, hey this website is mine?Originally posted by DailyFreeGames.com:Hosting such sites won't cost a bomb, I got my own servers and it didn't cost me more than $100 every month maintaining it, though I'm abit budgetting, some servers stuff can cost more than that.

Every time FI or Jason uses the BAN button the sponsors award them commission.Originally posted by Texcoco II:Does it substain on its own, or it is owned and paid for by Jeyel Media (UK) Limited, or by Jason?

Don't ask me how much. -
thanks
-
thank u for ur concern
so pls sign up premier membership -
Don't you know advertising can supports a forum well ?

I believe Jason do have other source of income other than this forum.
Advertisements and membership fees may only be able to make ends meet. Most people who runs a website do not really rely on it for their livihood. Its just like their interest and passion, and the lettle extras they earn from websites they maintain is just like pocket money to them. They have jobs outside to feed them -
