Need tips for a new project

6 replies
Hello guys, im looking to make a cars/auto related blog or website. I just bought a new domain and would like to get started.

I want to have your opinion, should i make it a blog or a cars listing site?

this is my domain: Cars

I was thinking of a listings site because of this theme: Automobile | Templatic

haha but im no garage owner. Please give me some tips, i would like this to be huge. :p

    I say you do the blog but be VERY specific. niche based ie instead of hondas make honda XM east coast etc. more specific

    I am running a blog Unleash The Throttle Within - Car News and Car Reviews and hit 12,000 a month at the peak.
    It is growing slowly but surely.
    You want to listen to interview of Alborz Fallah who runs a successful blog valued at $5,000,000 Interview with Alborz Fallah of CarAdvice.com.au - A Million Dollar Blogger - Entrepreneurs-Journey.com by Yaro Starak, some great tips in there.
    Of course his situation was timely and unique.
    He did start off with writing the articles himself and doing the reviews without having access to cars and once the blog grew he started to gain access to do the reviews directly.
    I realised that backlinking is important for this kind of venture or at the least having access to popular forums to post links back to the post not just for seo purpose but to grow your visitor base. Without this you will be swamped with the number of car related sites out there.
    One idea that struck me which would be longer term is a system that aggregates car news from popular bloggers [generally using their rss feeds] but at the same time allows people to create profiles and submit photo's and videos [similar to a social networking site] but takes advantage of collaboration. You want this not just to be another Social Networking site but a method that really puts the partner bloggers out there and cross promotes their content and then allow brands to contact these bloggers through your medium to test out their product range and blog about them.
