Any suggestions to help me market this home network blog idea?

7 replies
Hey guys.

I have about 10 computers in my home all networked, 6 being in my own room. I have so many because I get some for free then get them working and able to run some older games, then every once in a while my friends and I will all get together and have a LAN party here.

I never really thought of doing a blog, but my brother-in-law suggested to somehow market this idea with a blog or something of the sort. I'm not into the blogging scene really, and make my money using Google's Adsense, therefore I really don't know much on how I could market this idea using a blog.

Anyway, any help, suggestions, or advice would be super helpful! Thanks!

    A home networking blog would help some people yes. Do your keyword research, then write about how you do it and take lots of pics to show. Sounds a good idea for a long term builder.

      The idea could be likened to tupperware parties or something.

      I'd create a guide which would cover the networking of the computers, where to get the extra computers (free or ebay, etc) and ways to find fellow players to come over while you host a games party.

      Then an additional guide/bonus on treats to serve your guests while they are there.

      Sell this guide on the blog or use it as a give away to get sign-ups to a list.

    Ohh some very interesting suggestions. Didn't really think about building a list off of this blog, but now I think it may be very possible.

      Respectfully, anyone who knows what a LAN party is already knows now to have them.
      Computer geeks have LAN parties. They know how to network computers etc.

      And they aren't the Martha Steward type who want to bake cupcakes shaped like pacman.

      They eat pizza, smoke pot, and pass out.

        And now I'll eat my words and this delicious cupcake!
        This is from a LAN party website!

      Well I think that this blog would attract other Geeks, and other interested individuals.
