Total noob starting a directory

Iam a total noob at everything, Iam lost and I dont know what to do next. Please help

I recently registred a domain name at go daddy and I dont know where to go from there. How do I upload my eSyndicat template? and is their basic hosting plan good enough? the one bundled with the domain name

 

Take a look at the eSyndicat support forum - you should find a walk through of how to set up your directory - alternatively theres always someone around who'd set it up for a small fee!!!

 

head over to the indexscript support forum - http://www.indexscript.com/forum/index.php

i'll install indexscript for you for free...

 

thanks daboss. heading over there to register.

 

Why are you starting something you know nothing about, may i ask?

 

I would ask the same question. Not to be an a$$ or anything, but you having no idea how to even upload the script... it will be a big learning curve for you when it comes modifying your site, designing your template, doing general maintenance, etc. But heck...we all have to start from somewhere. Good luck!

 

You should probably not pay for someone else to do it if you are going to make a serious effort. Just learn howto do it yourself, Sure godaddy has an article section on uploading software/etc. Good luck.

 

well thats why Iam starting, to learn. Its better to learn by actually doing it rather than sit and read

 

Best of luck! Everybody started like you do.

 

sounds good.

install your script.

offer submissions.

and don't forget to build incoming links.

Reciprocal are ok, but only to some extent.

Also submit to some good directories so the search engines know what your site is all about.

 

You can also read a few other forums related to directories, like http://www.directoriesforum.com (shameless plug ) .


Good luck!

 

Theres nothing to worry about , you may get wrong at uploading or installing but this wont happen next time so i suggest do it your self.

 

We all started somewhere!

No one is born with any skills at all unless it's eating and filling up a diaper! We all have to learn somewhere/how. I prefer to start slow but that's just me!

Well yeah, but he can start somewhere, where there is less competition. If he cant even install php/mysql software, i dont think this is his sector. THis is for more advanced users :/ Well just some friendly advice, you can do whatever you want ofc, if you want to learn the hard first, your most welcome to do so.

 

Well, installing script is the basic necessity to learn since he already got a domain. I wouldn't say installing directory script is for advanced users (unless you are thinking of having some fancy mods).

Besides, there being competition probably means there's alot to monetize. So why wouldn't one wanna join and compete?

 

There you said it yourself, if he cant install a script how can he do the stuff that actually requires work....

Anyway, like i said hes welcome to join in , np =)

 

lol that's why he's asking how to do it.
