Hello, I have a couple of nice domains that I want to base my next project on but I need some help in figuring out what the best kind of project would be (from a monetization point of view). The domains are; 1. companydatabase.com 2. businessdatabase.com The basic ideas I have come up with so far include; 1. A standard web directory 2. A wiki - where users could build and manage their own pages 3. A database sales site (not sure of affiliates in this space) 4. Selling marketing lists (email lists!?!?) 5. A forum 6. Just sell the names 7. ... I did extend the Wiki idea a little to be based on more of a discount coupon site. i.e. Someone could create a page for Godaddy and affiliates could post their offers - a kind of grouped up landing page of a wiki. Downsides to this is that it would probably get spammed to bits? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Bob
Hmm...I'd say no to selling email lists right away...(I'm sure there must be ways to protect yourself but IF you decide to go on with it.but..generally not a good idea) How about a wiki where people can review companies? instead of the affiliate links...which for certain would get spammed to bits. A directory is a pretty good choice as well..but is a lot of hard work for sure.
