How should I build my site ADVICE NEEDED

6 replies
I have a few domains that I want to build a site on. I have one called SwagToday.com and wanting to put together a blog type website talking about cool topics. I want to make it viral by allowing user content to be uploaded.

I have VPS hosting now with Hostgator and build with wordpress.

Not to sure about how to accomplish the uploading thing. Don't know if it is better to have them email me the content or have some type of portal for them to upload their video.

I am wanting to build a site similar to worldstarhiphop but my own take on it.
Do you guys have any suggestions on ideas for my site?

    You can look for a premium wordpress theme that has a component that allows for user initiated content. There's a few out there. Alternatively you can outline your idea for a wordpress theme and engage a freelancer (highly rated obv) over at odesk or guru or any other similar freelancer website.

    If you have got standards you wish to see on uploads on your site, then it is better if you manually vet them by having them sent to your mail and checking. As volume increases,you can automate it.
    Thus, you'd have control over things.

      Exactly how I am going to do it but not sure about the storage? I would like to do videos and pictures and create manual profiles for people.

    Use wordpress and hire a freelancer specialized on wordpress if you want your website to be more complex. Or you can build it yourself in wordpress. Very simple and no hassle though.

    Controversial topics are sure to grab the attention of your viewers. However, too controversial and they will ban you. It is good to add a little spice. Make it too hot and they will spit you out.
