I see you've got lots of auto-posting going on social media... have these efforts proven to be worth your while? Did you build up your followings organically?
None of the ones that Wordpress auto-posts have really done anything for me. Pinterest and Stumble Upon have to be submitted manually, but they seem to work out well.
Looks great - is it making you any money?
Thanks! It's anywhere from $100 to $200 a month, more around Christmas time.
This is great! Is all of that income from affiliate links? Does it take up a lot of your time curating the list of items? Where do you get most of your traffic from?
99% of the income is affiliate links. I have adsense on there, but haven't really made any money on it. Finding the products is the worst part about it, i kind of restricted myself with the "under $15" theme. It sat dormant for months, but I'm going to try and get a new product up every day. As far as traffic goes, I kind of got lucky. I had an old Tumblr Blog with a domain name years ago. Tumblr used to have this program where a few people were curators for each category. This lead to a ton of followers and reblogs. They shut that program down and I've since stopped working on that blog, so I forward the domain to this new site. Still gets traffic daily. The rest is pinterest.
Do you market it at all?
Generally just whenever a thread like this pops up here or on Reddit.
I'm also interested about how you curate the list of products. Do you have some kind of semi-automatic system or something? Or you just add them by hand?
When I first built it I tried to automate that part of it, but had mixed results, nothing that grabbed attention. I just post things I find cool now.
