Yes, I want to create a full portal. Like Terra.com What should I do first? Should I start the website with fuuuull service (email, articles, news, chat, forum, games, e-cards, ect) How much I need to invest in ad? Pro and cons? Risks? Recomendations? Thanks
There is alot to consider for this. Cons 1. Specialised hosting - multiple databases, PHP, possible root or shell access required. Really depends on all of the services you want to provide. 2. Its gonna take a long time to setup the site and make sure it is all working. 3. Your best off creating bespoke software which all work with each other, rather than trying to manipulate various software packages. This would make it more reliable but it more time consuming. 4. Your most likely going to have to have dedication for creating and running the website. Try and think of a new idea that makes your website different from others. It's likely that your website will take a very long time to get on the search engines and months before you start to receive traffic to the website. What is your main purpose of creating this website? To make money?
About money, I want to earn money to give another service. I want to a portal for latin people: (* means that Im want to give the service, but not from the beginning) News Chat Fashion Mail Travels Weddings* Find a Couple Dental Health Find a Job Classified Photos and albums Blog* Games Forum Weather* "Am I sexy?" Diets* E-cards* Ringtones and Photos for Cellphones Movies* Horoscope Teens Jokes Tests Future Mom* Kids* LatinHot (Models)* Cars* Sex Health* Sports Tecnology* Gays*
What Kind of advertising should I do? Where? How Much? Should I start in a agressive mode? Or in a passive mode but with a complete portal?
When your site is new, advertising dollars won't come. Try promoting your site first. When there's traffic, there're ways to start bringing in the dough.
