dreaming up an authority site.. any thoughts
I am a web developer/seo, and I make a decent living at it right now. I'd first like to stress that I AM NOT QUITTING MY DAY JOB
I have decided to put my knowledge and energy into an authority site. My ideal timeline is 2 years. The site will cover a few related niches... I guess I'll go as far to say that they are kinda like "sports niches", but I do not believe they are oversaturated.
Each one of the related niches will be on a sub domain with its own forum, videos, testimonials, reviews and stories.
I plan to compensate with products(dvds and stuff) to the visitors that contribute content to the site. Ideally, this will be a website that will be run by the visitors, and moderated by me.
I will use all possible marketing tactics to promote this site. Fortunately, I will be promoting something I'm passionate about. Similar to all the "warriors" that contribute to this sites content, I believe it is important to create a sense of community... and this niche needs it!
After the site matures and gets the rankings/traffic the affiliate marking should generate some decent income.
Here are my questions
1. Does anyone see any major flaws with my thought/idea process here?
2. IF I can make this successful... is it possible to make a living off of an authority site of this nature.
3. Any tips to keep me from falling completely on my face
4. What other questions should I be asking
Thank you all!
