Starting a Website

[cbm]

Hey guys, it's about time I got to work on this site, it's been in my head way to long and I know it would be highly successful

So this is where i come to you guys, I need a mentor, a web master/designer, a programmer, and of course some partners.

I am looking for serious people only and people that would love to work with someone who knows very little on creating and maintaing websites (me)!!

My idea for a website is a news website, I know most of you are saying "ooooooo there's thousands of news websites out there" true, yes, but my idea for a news website is totally different then the average news website, however it would be very interactive and a very good learning tool for young users.

Looking to hear back from you guys!

Hi cbm, welcome to the forum!

First thing I would point you to is point you to this thread (click on the link I posted, or scroll down a bit) and really analyze your idea.

How do I know if my business idea is viable?

Let me guess. Another "Naked News"? Haha just kidding

Is it relate to something you really love ?

Would you describe more about your site idea?

[jsayers]

I have an idea for your news website - how about a POSITIVE news website since it's aimed at younger audiences.

Considering all of the major media outlets have turned to fear tactics in a desperate attempt to keep readers buying their publications you could differentiate yourself from the rest of the market with happy news!

Do you have funding already?

What kind of new website you want to do ???

I might be able to help, if needed. Good Luck.

Another thing you could do is get your name out there online.

Remember is that most business is online these days...

3 ideas!

1) Create a company website with your contact info and list of services.

2) For free...

Break into social media to create contacts. Message your friends on Face-book and let them know about the new business you are creating. Create a Face-book group and fan page.

You can also create ads on Face-book. The Face-book Marketplace application is very effective for placing free classifieds that reach thousands of people. Link to your website from your Facebook profile, group, and fan page.

Create a Twitter page for your business.

You could be surprised what a powerful marketing tool social media could be for your business in a new city.

Do your homework.

To steam up your website development process, you should contact a web agency ( like VMA )/ design studio ( like Simply Creative ), depending if you will focus on results or aesthetics.

Then will come the time to launch the site and create buzz and so on, but as the Roman saying goes: "Don´t put the cart ahead of the horses".
