[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 36443, member: 6548"] I pay $150 a month for a small ad in my local small town newspaper...in the last two months that $300 has generated about $2500 for my small business... Despite the fact that newsprint appears to be dying a slow death I think it will be around for a long time to come... I am real skeptical about the profit margins with a web based community "news" site. I wish you luck and maybe it will work but I think it will be a long time yet before a person can make a living off (or a reasonable return for the effort) of such an endeavor... Finally my biggest concern...I don't know how it is in Sydney Ohio but I will tell you this for true about Sapulpa Oklahoma...there are very few folks around here who look at the net for local news...I know that because I can see the traffic count on my local newspaper's website...the people around here at least aren't going to look at some local yokel website for ANY kind of news....they are to stupid for that...hahaha [/QUOTE]
