Hi All,

Im starting up a help site regarding Self-Harming.

We will be a site offering free help and advice to those who need it, along with an active forum.

What am i here for? Simply to ask how we could get money to pay for things like hosting and domain name?

Would it be through in text ads, or just simply having a 'donate' button on the site? or something else?

Thanks

Jake

I haven't yet got any donations for my The Spoon project using Donate button. Google ads does not make money either so I would consider an affiliate program. Maybe some related books or ebooks.

I would not use any affiliate programs for ebooks or anything. I would simply go with Google Ads and sell banners/links. No donate button.

thanks for these ideas. Anyone else got any?

Where did the idea for this "Self-Harming" self-help website come from? I have to question the opportunity for success with it.

Well, try starting with free hosting sites and try selling affiliated products which are also free sign up and start the basis from that. - no harm in trying

[snowgoose]

the idea came from me and a friend who also self harms and i felt like doing something to help others.

My first though is, "Why, would someone who actually wants to HURT himself or herself come to a site to HELP himself or herself." I would instead consider opportunities for informing OTHERS and providing resources for OTHERS to help those who hurt themselves. See what I mean?

[snowgoose]

yeah i do but sometimes hurting happens due to depression and other various reasons.

having been through it all myself i know what im talking about and how i would help others

So, are you doing this to help others or to try to make money?

[snowgoose]

Help others, the only costs we will have is the domain and hosting.

So whats everyone thinks about this idea?

Worthwhile doing or not?
