Newbie in need advice on choosing path in IM
As you read my comments, please keep in mind that I'm fairly new to online marketing. I took my time out to research various ways of making a profitable online business but, in my opinion at least, I still could use help from those much more knowledgeable.
Here are the three ideas I'm thinking of implementing so far:
Overview- Create a multifaceted informational anime website. The website would contain anime wallpapers, news, video trailers for upcoming anime series, reviews etc...
Questions & Concerns:
1.I'm not exactly a website design guru. I can do basic html but struggle with more advanced languages. Therefore, I'll need professional website design assistance. My main concern isn't with the initial creation of the website. I'm aware that having someone build it from the ground up can be costly. My main concern is with maintenance. Would I be at a major disadvantage because of my novice skills? In general (I know this isn't an easy question to answer without knowing "exactly" where my technical skills are) is maintaining a multipage website illogical for someone with such limited technical abilities? I wouldn't want to create this behemoth of a website just to be at the mercy of the person who created it.
2. Since I'm not directly selling a product or service, would a ppc program like adsense be the only logical way to make a profit?
Questions & concerns:
1. These websites are avoiding copyright violations by embedding links for videos and not actually hosting any of the material on their servers. In your opinion, are you playing with fire when you create such a website, or are these websites pretty safe considering they only provide people with links to videos?
2. I guess concern number 1 from idea number 1 is also a concern with this website. Although, it should be much easier to maintain when compared with the first mentioned idea.
3. Question number 2 from idea 1 also applies for this website.
Questions and concerns: Nothing really.
Being a new guy on the scene, I think going the clickbank route would be the most rationale, cost effective approach. However, I'm very passionate about anime and would love to create a website that involved sharing my love for it.
In your opinion, which idea do you feel would be best for me to venture into internet marketing?
Thank you all for your time and advice
