Geometric Growth - A Boon For Established Sites
How much money do you make from your site? $2 a day? $1 a day? Less?
Although it is a sad fact that new sites aren’t profitable, it is good news that through the magic of geometric growth, they can quickly become profitable.
Don’t worry too much if you have a new webpage which makes less than $1 a day. Some of the most profitable webpages out there made less than $1 a day two years ago. Here is an example. Say that you have a new webpage. It is not uncommon for new sites which get a lot of work done on them to grow 30% month over month.
If you have a site that makes $1 a day, and you grow it 30% every month, that means that
After 1 month - $1.30 a day
After 2 months - $1.69 a day
After 4 months - $2.85 a day
After 6 months - $4.82 a day - $144 a month
After 12 months - $23.30 a day
After 2 years - $542 a day
What is this showing? Well I can’t promise that your site will grow at a 30% rate month over month. That is an impressive growth rate to keep up. However, this does show that once you have established your site, geometric growth begins to work in your favor.
Once you have established your site, putting in some extra work, say increasing your traffic by 10% will net you a much larger gain in profit than a 10% gain in traffic will for a smaller site. So the key here is to start a site, and stick with it. Too many people start a site and give up after six months or a year or so, just when the site is beginning to be worth their time.
But is geometric growth a reasonable assumption for a beginning webpage? We’ll examine that in the next article.
