		<description>Plus,

10) Find other ways to monetize the content and *allow affiliates to make money as well.* Example: let visitors put together their own anthologies (a la the book lists at Amazon). This could go so far as allowing people to order a physical copy of the book (via Lulu or iUniverse or somesuch).

This way your visitors become your advocates, which is exactly the way you want it -- and you incentivize them for doing so, so some small percentage of them will actually be *good* at it.</description>

		<description>Right.  Embrace everything from every media, whether it&#039;s stories or games or manga or whatever.  Don&#039;t segment your audience; let &#039;em sort that out for themselves.  The story people will levitate to one section of the site, and the Yaoi Furry Mecha Fantasy gamers will do their own thing, and the publisher keeps raking in the dosh.</description>
