Making money off of a unique website idea??
    #13194466 - 09/14/10 01:44 PM (13 years, 4 months ago)

So, I have this idea for a website that I think could end up being pretty successful...:thumbup:

It is sort of community run and community supported.  When I say supported, I don't mean monetary support, I mean that the website relies on community interaction.

It would almost be like a forum....almost....

Any ideas where to start?  Making money isn't a priority but it would be a nice little side effect....

Would I need to look into web-design?  How would I get said website on the internet?  I feel I would need to pay money to have the site hosted, so I can make money...

Is advertising a good source of income?  Even enough to just pay off hosting costs would be awesome...

The primary goal is to help support the people who come to the community.  Having the website be self sufficient is a secondary goal..

Any helpful points in the right direction are much appreciated!!

:peace:

so...like craigslist?

or Freecycle?

I guess you'll need to get the website, determine it's usages, publicize the shit out of it to the town it's specified to, and go from there.

like a mailing list, but better.

go for it.  good luck making profit...

The nice thing about web development is that the barriers to entry are virtually nonexistent if you already have a computer and internet connection. Everything you need is free, including instructions, various tools, and even basic hosting. If you want your own domain name it will cost something like $7/year. There aren't any other up-front expenses. Once your site is established you can put AdSense banners on it to make some income. This will give you an idea of what kind of budget you have for future expansion.

However, you should set realistic goals. Either your site will need to start off very simple, or else you should base it on pre-existing software. You should not expect to build something like WordPress or SMF until you have years of experience and other people to help. It really depends on what you're looking to get out of it. If you enjoy the idea of coding and want to learn how websites work and are motivated to put aside time for your project, then by all means, give it a shot. If nothing else you will at least get an idea for the scope of the project you're considering. But if you don't care for the technical nitty-gritty and you mostly just want to get the site online ASAP, your best bet would probably be to check out Elance or vWorker where you can post a description of the project and solicit bids from individual freelancers and small companies. Make sure to carefully evaluate their portfolios and feedback and don't just go by price.

Good luck!
