I was watching domain name Find.Repair for some time (it was registered by someone since early 2014), and it finally dropped, and I was lucky to get it. I am not a website developer, but I suspect that this name might have potential to be developed nicely.

I got the name today, so I have not tested traffic yet, will be more clever after 4 or 5 months (it has now landers of dan.com) I personally like the name as it is very universal, and is not geo limited, so it can serve for bunch of services and geographical areas.

I would like to get some ideas from those of you who are developing websites, as of how would you developed it, what can be done with it, how would you monetize it, etc.

If you have some serious interest to help with development or some ideas, get in touch via PM. Thanks.

Any opinions (and critical in particular, which will help me not waste my time on ideas which are not good) are welcome, particularly from people who actually know how to develop a website :)

I own lets.repair, just the domain name, and considering selling it.

Not interested in developing anymore, but let's see if I got some chops to help you get started.

I look at Find.Repair and the first thing that immediately comes to my mind is it would have some potential in making a lead generation site for generating affiliate commissions through Pay Per Call networks, affiliate programs that help people find repair-type services, etc. Would start it off as aiming for the larger cities across the US and adding the other cities in as potential bonus money.

Get a couple of blog posts made from some decent Fiverr writers about maintenance prevention for home products, how to find reputable service providers, and other subjects that would relate around the site itself. Have those circulating through Pinterest ads in the hopes that people would click through and pin the articles on their own accord, since that would generate constant recurral traffic and that would fit a lot for that userbase. Maybe FB ads too, but would want to build that lookalike traffic to nail down further for people for targeting.

I think it would service well as a Homeadvisor-type site. If it did have some backlinks/SEO-value, I would be looking it up on SimilarWeb to see what the top five searches are from the desktop portion, along with seeing what find.repair had positions in and reading up on them on Archive.org to create something similar, but with my own articles instead of stealing the old article. Otherwise, if it wasn't really that popular at all, I'd consider it a start from scratch type project.

I think it could have good potential. Marketing is always the hard part, but this may give you a bit of a jumpstart.

a wordpress theme and plugin packed called 'geodirectory'. Make it a marketplace integrated with google maps and reviews, offer coupons etc. Like freelance handy-work and contractors thing. The theme and plugin make it all possible. You can start by submitting local ppl and doing normal SEO stuff to bring them business, and you'll create a buzz. If you do everything right, hopefully eventually, people add themselves because your site 'works for them'.

@JayT much appreciated, will check out that theme. I really would like to start developing (or have developed) some of my new gTLD domain names, as it is waste of them just to be undeveloped :)
