Ok I have an idea for a website but right now Im just doing research and I need a little help. I would like to create a new website that is a mixture of two sites. Thechive.com and uncrate.com Thechive.com is set up as a blog and has pictures of hot chicks, funny pictures and videos and users can submit their own pictures. Uncrate.com has cool gadgets for men and you can sign up and save the gadgets you find cool and save them in your "stash". I would like to combine these two sites and make it where you can also save pictures of the hot chicks or funny pictures and videos you find cool in your stash. In addition to being able to save stuff in your stash I would also like to have users be able to share items to Facebook, twitter, digg, stumbleupon or any other social media site. I would also like to make it where each user would have their own personal page ex: xxxxxxxx.com/bigdad would show my profile picture and my stash which could also be shared to any social media site. How would you go about marketing this site and how would you monetize it?
I think a good way for you to monetize would be to sell ad space on your website. Also, if it generates a lot of traffic Adsense might be a good way to go. CPA as well, goodluck with your website!
I thought about Adsense but some of the humor on the site might be a little to risqué and I've heard about other sites getting turned down by them because their site was to dirty. Any other ideas? I plan on updating the site several times a day, how would you go about advertising and getting the word out there right off the bat?
Well if you're able to update it several times a day that should be enough to get attention. You can start off right now through word of mouth if you'd want to try. Post something about your website through social networking sites especially facebook since that's very popular. By word of mouth or from friends of friends you should be able to at least get some visitors from them. Also put a lot of keywords in it so you can also increase PR.
That's the first time I've actually gone to that site. Yea I guess it will be very similar but I'd also like to throw in some articles here and there too. I'd like a different layout tho and more of the feel like thechive or uncrate.
