Can't decide what to do!
I've had my site "waloosh.com" for a long time now. About a year now.
When I first made it live, it was a site dedicated to my short stories and memoirs that I was writing at the time. After a long time of writer's block and lots of distraction at the time... I gave up on that whole idea.
So then, I change my site into a social networking site similar to MySpace. It looked very similar to MySpace. I only had one problem... MAJOR competition. I wanted to be the next top social networking website, but all of a sudden, a TON of them just popped up out of nowhere. I abandoned that project fairly quickly.
Soon after, I turned it into a general forum. It had sections for dating (some friends wanted to maintain that). Had sections for gaming, website design, photoshop, and even multimedia such as television, movies, and music. One by one, I took out section by section because the entire site was too broad to focus on a specific type of audience.
Eventually, it became a gaming site with a large variety of flash games in the arcade, lots of cheats, a few guides, and some tips for specific games. However, that project was abandoned once I realized how broad "General Gaming" was, but I couldn't focus on just ONE specific game because I play many.
Recently, it was a webhosting site. I had one client from WF and two others. I lost two clients, and only had one left that never finished their site and never replied to my emails. I was being hosted for free because I was an administrator for an alpha webhost reseller. After the root administrator made changes, I was no longer an administrator and was going to have to pay $10/month to keep it active. My girlfriend and I decided it wasn't worth it because we ran into nothing BUT problems since we first signed up with them. So, I abandoned that idea too since I wasn't making any money and I still can't get a job.
Anyway... After that LOOOONG speech of possible worthlessness, I was wondering... besides internet marketing, creating my own products/ebooks... etc.
Does anybody have any idea of what I could possible do with it? My girlfriend is hosting me right now on a shared server for free (thankfully).
I'm pretty decent with graphics and coding, so I thought a tutorial site would be nice. I could possibly get donations from friendly people who enjoy my work and helpfulness.
I'd like to do something that would make money, but I don't want to do internet marketing. I'm tired of webhosting since I ran into so many problems with my previous and don't have the money for a new server.
I don't really have a hobby except graphics and web design. I like to help people... I guess I pretty much am answering my own question, but I want more opinions and some more ideas of what you guys think "Waloosh" should be?
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "Waloosh"?
