Starting a Celebrity site, could use some advice

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by GPerry, Aug 25, 2006.

    ....from a marketing perspective. Should I concentrate on just one celebrity or go for a niche group (example: female stars, daytime tv starts, etc...). Would a blog be the easiest to market or should I go for a full website or some sort of CMS?

    thank you.

    If you can develop the site and make the design rock you can start a celeb site - my site gets only SE traffic of 400-500/month @ Ayesha Takia
    You need to exchange links with all the other celeb sites :)

    I would go general as celebrities popularity tends to fluctuate. I doubt Paris Hilton will be this popular in 10 years time.

    I say go niche.

    Daytime/late night TV is a good idea. They tend to stay popular for a long time and the fans are pretty loyal.

    - David Letterman
    - Jay Leno
    - Conan O'brien
    - Regis
    - Oprah
    - etc.

    Get the idea? Very popular and long term. Not only that, it's a whole lot easier to optimize and get results for say "Conan O'Brien" than it is for "Brad Pitt" or "Paris Hilton" so you'll probably have a lot more success in the long run.

    Hey , thanks pal .
    I am having a Indian Bollywood Actress , Rani Mukherjee's Fan site , here @ Rani Mukherjee

    I have used , wordpress as the News blog cms . and i have used Menalto's Gallery as my gallery manager .

    Actually , Fan sites can be used as a fire source , but i cant get to the full potential .

    Currently , my daily visit is about 50 . Actually i stopped caring , thats why .
    But i raised the daily visit from 10 to 30 , back to 20 , then to 50 , then to 60 and now currently at 55 .

    When a new movie , comes , expect more traffic .

    If your hoping to get traffic organically on search engines i'd focus on specific celebrities or event particular parts areas of interest on certainly celebs (such as one solely dedicated to their relationship history, their non-profit causes/work (which they all have), or their drunk antics. just an idea. good luck!
