Stop Answering 'Who Do You Recommend?' — Monetize the Answers Instead
Every 'who's your plumber?' thread is money left on the table. Productize the answer once.
Repeat threads are a tax on your time. They're also proof your group has value. The upgrade path is simple: instead of typing the same list every week, reply with one link and spend your admin energy on quality control and monetization.
- 1
Build the canonical list
Your official answers — vendors, links, and affiliates in one place.
- 2
Train the group
Friendly rule: "Check the official list first" — link in pinned post.
- 3
Monetize inbound
Vendors who want on the list pay for placement after you have traffic.
