Monetizing The Website And How It Affects The Readers And Me For The Future

After maybe 4 months of soul searching I’ve decided that I will go through and monetize the website in some ways because it doesn’t even make any common sense not to put in a few entries for cash flow. For the longest time I have been very adamant on not turning this website into a source of cash flow and steady income for me on my future projects but I now feel that I have been maybe too naive and innocent over this.

I’ve put in at least 1000 hours of work in turning this website into the most complete, best resource and ultimate guide for the subject of height and height increase on the internet space (at least for websites in English). It has real resources for almost anything that a person would need. I was listening to The Lifestyle Business Podcast and something just clicked inside of me earlier today and I decided to turn this website into something more professional, clean, and streamline.

The “Supplements Guide” section and the “Exercise Program Guide” both have Amazon Affiliate Links now, there are now at least a few “Donations” button scattered around the website on various posts which are linked to Paypal Accounts. I know that if I decide to integrate the Google Adsense service to this website I would start generating 10X as much in money as I would with just Affiliate Links. There is still no Ads, no fees, or products that I am pushing to the readers. Like I said on the message at the bottom of the website, I will NEVER endorse a product which I don’t truly believe in or have not done real research on.

As a reader, you will never be forced or required to ever pay for anything on this website. No one can tell someone else to buy something that they don’t want. Everything is free and the value that will be provided will only increased and get higher quality over time. If you as the reader chooses, you don’t have to use any of the affiliate links or donation buttons that are on this website. You can always choose an alternative resource to pay at.

I don’t consider myself a sellout but as a average, flawed human being at a deep level I feel a little selfish and would like to profit a little from this project. At least enough to pay for the website hosting fees, podcast episode hosting fees, and make some extra to pay for some bills and maybe even start to pay for a portion of the rent. But that type of “dream” won’t occur overnight but will probably take at least a year or two.

The audience to the website is getting bigger and I am now put under far more obligation and have more responsibility to the readers and future readers to only produce high quality posts from this point on. I have had even real Doctors approach me and write to the website email on how great and important this website is to them since there is finally a resource like this on the internet. There are more people everyday who write to the website email asking me to review articles and products they’ve found on the internet. I in turn have granted all of their request and done the best I could to give them what they really want.

As a business man who owns over 4 separate businesses and working on many other projects, I do think in terms of profit/loss and want to make sure that this venture over the long term is profitable for me. Of all of my businesses and projects, this one is the closest to my heart. It has been something I wanted to build for the longest time. All the other businesses, some which are in import/export, cosmetics, consulting, renting, and footwear were all started because of the money. This website was started for the impact, and in the long run I know that this website will probably grow to be the biggest and most impact ful of all of the businesses that I own.

At the end of the day, maybe 10-20 years from now I would wish 3 things for myself professionally.

  1. I have been able to give the world a real gift in some way making a big contribution.
  2. I would have gone back to school and gotten the advanced degree (Ph. D) in research and engineering.
  3. I would have reached financial freedom through proper investments, allocating my assets properly, generating multiple streams of income and cash flow, and build systems and businesses that are automated.

This website is a way I can help achieve two of those goals, reaching financial freedom and making a big contribution It also in a way helps prepare me for the course work and science material for graduate school as well.
