Current status of the Ning Platform is always available on the Ning Status Blog.

If you use SkimLinks, you will have already got an email about this ebook (as I did).

"Monetizing Online Forums" is a great ebook that is free to download:

I recommend reading it even if you are only starting your network and plan to monetize in the future.  It's a great read that covers all the bases.  If you are already monetizing, it can show you some areas you might not be giving enough attention.

PS:  I have no connection to this book or to SkimLinks.  I do use Skimlinks on one of my Ning sites and they send me a couple hundred bucks a month because of it.

  • skimlinks irritate members

    • It depends on how your weighing the options of using skimlinks... irritated members vs. a couple of hundred bucks a month.

      mmm... I think I'm going to take another look at adding skimlinks.

      • It depends on how you use skimlinks.  You don't have to have any in-text ad/links.  You can just use Skimlinks to convert your outgoing links to affiliate links.  The user sees no difference in user experience at all.  And now you get a commission on links that were generated by your members.  I see no reason to not use that part of skimlinks.  That feature alone has earned us 4 figure money this year.

        Also, this book is about all forms of forum monetization - not just skimlinks.  It was sponsored by skimlinks but the author is independent and presents everything he knows on the topic - including VigLink info (skimlinks biggest competitor).   It's a good read even if you hate in-text ads.

  • Interesting, what sites do you run Clark, I would love to have a look
