Topic #8 - Cars

Just thought of another one...
Topic #9 - Travel

OK, If I don't hear any more in the next hour, I'll just post the poll with 9.

books/magazines/other printed media?

music?

OK, 10 is good, one of these will probably win anyway. Pick your top 3. Spread the word. We need a few more good men/women who want to take up the challenge.

I'm in, sounds like fun.

My only advice on your initial plan is that we DO NOT ALL USE THE SAME WEBHOST. If we're all on the same Class C IP block and linking to each other Google is not going to give much credit to our links.

I am definitely interested, and am currently planning a sports website.

BradleyT,
That sounds like good advice. Seems like this collective experiment is already paying off.

Also hopefully we choose a topic that has enough niches that each of us can pick one. Although I did choose makin sweet moolah, I don't think I have any unique ideas/experience that wouldn't be covered by 2-10 other sites if we get 50 people in on the project. Categories like sports, music, and cars obviously have enough smaller niches for each of us to get a unique one. We'll see how the voting goes.

Re: Actually making money - Forum Project
 

I'm interested.

I am not sure whether we should have similar niche sites or completely different. I see your point that we can share backlinks and improve our SEO and share traffic, but maybe totally independent ventures sharing ideas is better...

Re: Actually making money - Forum Project
 

I think for this first project, we should all stick to the same general subject. I think this makes it easier for us to lay out a step by step plan that everyone in the project can easily follow. Say we all choose cars and each pick a car type. Then we could easily lay out a plan such as "Day 8 - write an article about tires available for your car and try to find google images of various tire mods for your car".

Re: Actually making money - Forum Project
 

max,

I think this is a solid idea. As dc just mentioned, depending on how many people participate, it may make more sense to have a bunch of threads that target a demographic rather than the same topic - for example, everyone's task is to "start a site that would be of interest to 18-25yo males" or something like that.
