    I suggest forum tbh. My first site was a forum. It was a game development forum but we had a project we worked on so it was constant. Everyday we had something new. If you have a hobby or something, maybe you can make a blog. I hope you're not looking for a get rich quick scheme. Most of the time, you loose motivation and it never works out.

    I am still thinking of creating a nice job search site as an addition to our ever growing classifieds.

    Job search sites are still hot (although there are thousands of them out there) because of the economic woes here in the US and probably worldwide.

    Anyway, try a job search site.

    At first ask yourself, Which criteria is best fit for you. If you have proper and enough knowledge on specific topic then you make a new blog site on that topic.

    Most likely they have failed because you simply stopped working on them. That's the only excuse for having many previous projects that have failed.

    Everyone will have a different suggestion and what works well for one does not work well for others. You can make money doing anything as long as you are good at it.

    What the hell does "kinda fails always" mean??? Why even suggest an idea that you feel "kinda fails always"???

    I think before you do anything you should brush up on your skill set because there is some serious insecurity in your ability.

    You appear to be in a dilemma, guess what NetStar's suggestion of brushing up your skill set would work just fine. Your insecurity is weighing you down, little wonder why you've had a lot of fails. So my advice is an easy DIY:
    • Polish your skill set.
    • Find a project you're passionate about.
    • Inquire about the sustainability (how much work should go into the project to keep it going) and profitability.
    • If you can find someone who shares your passion or a team, pool resources and you'd meet less failures (failure results when one stops trying).
    • Lastly, please let your project provide a solution (maybe not unique but worth someone's time).
    And I should ask in reference to your quote in bold, which path were you on?

    Well, first of all thank you all for writing, well about my "forums always failed", i answer like this, I have always worked alone, also my passions are Online gaming,so my forums also was about gaming, I failed because i was not able to get visitors, had some but, also the content was not enough, and from my own experience's i cant trust people to give them half of my jobs to get helped.If i decide to open a forum a gain, how should i start step by step, and where i can find some usefull help?Like someone who put contents, how do i get known by others?

    Create a blog, with great content. Not one that is just scraping data.

    Razort89, are you the only child. If you don't want to share, you cannot run a forum. There will be others coming and wanting to do their own staff in a forum. It is like your mischievous siblings messing up with your books and clothes. If you don't like that you cannot run a forum. Then, the best option for you would be a blog.

    You have failed creating a forum because your web site was a forum...

    Forums are usually secondary features of existing web sites and those web sites turn in to just a forum. Try building a web site with repeat visitors THEN launch the forum.

    it depends your skills and experience.
    if you have any kind of experience regarding ptc program you can start it.
    but i will suggest you to start a forum because it will engage you all the time with your members .
    it can also be an income opportunity for you.

    You don't need/want a partner. You'll never get equal work out of a partner but they will always demand more. All you need to do is polish your development and marketing skills AND develop great work ethic. Be organized. Everyday have a plan and a TO DO list that you MUST accomplish before the day is over. Set realistic goals and stick to it. Consistency + A Solid Plan = Success.

    I agree with a couple of the other people here. Start a blog. Use Wordpress as your Content Management System. Provide good content. Think about this; What are you passionate about? What hobbies do you enjoy? What are you really good at or knowledgeable about? What makes you cry or makes you cry, or makes you really happy? These are things to blog about. Any blog based on a How-To subject is usually good but not the only option. There are other things t write about.

    Blog EVERY DAY…2 - 3 posts per day. Include photos and videos in your blog posts. Make your posts interesting. You can use Google Ads, Click Bank, or other types of affiliate marketing programs to run ads on your blog. You will need to be very patient. From what I can see, it takes about 1 year of consistent hard work to begin to make money at blogging. I recommend that you have another source of income while you are trying to get your blog going.

    You should also use social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest to boost your blog's views. Your own youtube account with regular video posts by you will also help to drive traffic to your blog.

    If you use word press PLEASE customize it so it doesn't look like your typical word press. Using Word Press as a CMS for design is utterly easy.
