I'm a solo founder. I create all the sites myself as far as design/coding goes. I mostly use PHP/MySQL. I bootstrapped my first site with just cash and credit cards.
Ask me almost anything!
And that eventually you got shut down due to legal threats.
So my question is, how did you make money from it? Advertising?
I made money from it initially using Adwords. I remember my first month running it, only made about $400. They decided not to allow sites that linked to copyright videos, so I had to find alternatives, which turned out to be great.
I mostly used Clickbank and (briefly) Zango. I'm currently part of Clickbank's APEX program which is their super affiliate program for top earners.
