I need your Ideas

[Luke]

Hello, I just acquired a new domain and I was wondering If you guys could help me decide what I should do with it, your suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated.

www.loserchild.com

I'm not sure, but here are my Ideas:
1. A teen community forum
2. A brand of T-shirts
3. Arcade website

.. and thats it!

a brand of tee's sounds pretty nice...

[Luke]

I thought so aswell, but how do you suggest I go about doing this Scott?

you can always make it into a blog community like yeblogger.com

using a simple plan, and full support, you can make a viral directory of all the teenage / school blogs (or what ever) and sell the site for a profit

There are endless possibilites which is a good thing, you can try out and idea for a couple of months and if it fails.. doesnt matter.. but as for the t-shirt idea, I would use www.cafepress.com and signup. You should use the professional account then you can customise the style of your shop on your site and make it look more personal, but as for the company... all you really do is design the T-Shirts and Cafepress takes care of the rest lol... let me know if you need any more help.

t-shirts are cool.

you could incorporate yourself. get access to tshirt manufacturers. and purchase a screen printing press.

or you outsource haha.

depending on quantity, colors, sizes.. etc. a tshirt printing company may charge you $5-$10 per shirt. which you may sell for $15+

check out www.threadpit.com and www.hotaspho.com (my friends).

both are tshirt companies in Gainesville.

[Scott Taylor]

yeah it would also be good to get a local t shirt maker as ymb said, then you are able to be a little more creative, and really be in the production process...

I agree - the T-shirt angle is the best. I agree with Scott that using CafePress is the best way to go...I've used them before and have been very pleased with the quality.

[Luke]

OK thanks guys and thanks scott the for the link, awesome.

any time mate

Here's an idea...why not make a content packed site for kids who may feel like a loser (those who are put down by verbally abusive parents, teachers, other kids, whatever)? You could give advice about how they can "retaliate" by creating confidence, developing themselves into greatness and creating a great life for themselves. You could even do it ChickenSoup4theSoul style and fill it with stories of other teens/kids who've come from crappy environments and ended up making a successful life for themselves.

I know this the totally opposite feel of what you had in mind...but hey, it's just an idea...probably a very rewarding idea if it worked.

I think loserchild would probably be successful as a t-shirt brand as well.

Good luck.

[Scott Taylor]

yes loserchild I feel would appeal to the "alternative" teens, the skaters etc etc... just need to secure a few smart designers to come up with catchy logos and text etc...

[youngmoneyblog]

i think the challenge is to develop an image kids would buy... good luck!
