Webmaster Directory - Hard Copy

    What are your thoughts on a real life, hard copy webmaster directory (like a yellow pages).

    It could include listing such as:
    - Web Design
    - Web Hosting
    - Directory Submission
    - Advertising Services
    - Content Creation
    - Webmaster Forums
    and much more.

    It would be delivered to major companies, I.T. Companies and any other people/companies thats signs up to receive it.

    Is this possible? Would it work? Do you like the idea?

    Thanks :).

    Yes there will be companies interested but providing tailor made service can be more beneficial to both parties, just like Dell does by giving full power to customer to customize their laptops before purchase. Something similar can be done here.

    It won't be my services, it'll be people who offer the above services to purchase advertisment space in it and then people who are interested in these services will get a book sent out to them as well as IT companies.

    I just looked at the Australian Yellow Pages and theres 300 listings under Web hosting. So there are obviously a lot of online companies that want to advertise in such directories and if I made this directory it would suited more towards there target audience, WEBMASTERS :).

    idea seems good , but im afraid if the listing changes or contact details change its hard to modify with a hard copy. online listing would be better paid one with login access

    Yeah thats true. What I was thinking was that everyone making a online directory for offline companies what about a offline directory for online companies.

    Lol but what would be in the magazine? Or would it be a mag of advertisments? It could be a magazine with news articles and interviews with different sections like a Hosting, Design, SEO. But ideally I want to make 'Webmaster Pages'! :)
