    I have plans for a website, which will be for people who trying to achieve
    some goals. At first only financial goals. They can chat on their goals
    in the website forum. To help each other to achieve goals
    more faster. (synergy effect)

    FIRST WEBSITE page:
    Some goals listed, when someone clicks on a
    goal he is redirected to a forum, where all steps
    needed to accomplish his goal, are listed as a themes,
    where everyone can chat with his budies. Example:

    GOAL: Make a blog earning 100$ a month
    1. Choose a domain name
    2. Buy a domain and hosting
    3. Install a blog software on domain
    4. Get unique topic, and start to write on it.
    etc.......

    BUDGET - 400$
    I am planing to spend like 400$ on forum software(vbulletin),
    instaliation, SEO modification, revenue sharing modification,
    domain, website character, logo and minimal design,
    submission to link directory.

    WEBSITE INCOME
    * Adsense
    * later maybe webinars, or coaching, I could make small commisions
    * BIG goals, can be paid, like make 1000$/month website.
    * Sell mini ebooks, like "how to make money from forum website,
    best practises", "how to make money trading websites"

    Could You please, answer some questions?
    * Will this idea fail, or is it needed?
    * Is it worth developing and spend time?
    * Which is the toughest parts of my idea?
    * Will it be very hard to get members to my forum?
    * How much such a site would be worth with say 100 active members?
    * Would You be interested that website?

    Lol nothing is wrong.

    I think it is a great idea! :)

    The main problem for your site will be your credibility in the field. If you have lot of experience and got advices to offer then you should not have the problem. I would be the first to visit such site and learn somthing new.

    If on the other hand you want users to generate content for you, then getting users to do so might be a problem. That might lead to a need to reward those willing users with something. Which can cost you :)

    Anyways cheers and good luck with the site!

    But, tha is alot of work for one person, and you would have to be an expert on everything. And I would give away free ebooks to your users (to give them good reason's to join and stay), and make money with banner ads, text links or solo ads.
