If the items you have on your directory cost a lot. So if you have items costing $10, then you'll make a little money on that because you need a lot of clicks. But if you have items for 500 or a few K, then there is good money to be made there. For example, I have a directory for Next.js boilerplates and I have affiliate links to all the boilerplates and they all cost $10.

quite a lot and it brings quite a good money good income so i would not exclude one way or the other i would say do the first one do the second one like do the sponsoring do the affiliate links and then the third option is uh is to sell the data be careful to not sell the data as a risk because obviously you can't sell people private data but you can sell the

the anonymized data, or you can sell the insights. And that's possibly bringing good income if you find somebody who needs that. And usually you have to sell it to the corporates and you have to pitch that to the bigger companies where they are interested in the percentage, in the distributions and things like that. And the most obvious way to monetize directory is to have a paywall to list.

For example, in this case, it's probably harder for business ideas because why would someone pay to list their business idea? But for example, if you're making a list of nannies,

For example, in this case, it's probably harder for business ideas because why would someone pay to list their business idea? But for example, if you're making a list of nannies,

search for nannies and then every nanny would pay quite good amount to be listed there if you have traffic and if you have the buyers and the same the buyers so that's number four paywall for listings charge 500 or 50 dollars for listings And then the number five is charge for access for those who are most interested.

In the case of director of nannies, if you are interested in hiring a nanny, you would probably pay good amount to get access to the whole database. So you show top five or you show nannies without their contact data, without their photos. And then to unlock that contact data, you have to pay and then you get access to the whole directory.

Either you get access for life or you get access for a month and then you can charge them for that every month. And the sixth is you find... The brand sponsors. That's what I do now. So once your directories are pretty big, you can find big companies, big corporates who don't need the traffic, who just need the brand promotion. Like we have Dev Hunt, for example, and it's really big.

It's the biggest after Product Hunt. And now it's very easy to get big brands like Clerk or like Superbase and others to want to be there. to be affiliated with it, because that's where developers hang out. And they're willing to pay just to be affiliated with the product. So that you write, like, it's sponsored by Superbase. And it's not for the clicks. It's for their brand there.
