Need Development Ideas

[snareklutz]

Hi,

Once again, I'm looking for ideas for developing my next project. In the past, I've always made only service-based sites and mini subject-specific content sites.

I am interested in starting a mainstream content site - with news, maybe some blogs, tutorials, a forum, but I have really no idea in what sort of subject for it to be upon.

Getting an idea for me is the hardest part - once I have an idea, and set myself to fully doing it, it takes no time before I get it done. So, I urge you all NamePros members to help me think...

Thanks all!

Any idea of what you want to do in a broad idea. Give us ideas of what you have done, what you don't like, or what interests you. Do you want to sell anything or make money from ads?

I second TheComputerGeek's comments. A content/forum site takes a lot of time so you'd better love the subject matter. It's more of social task of building a community than technical.

I must echo the comments above. When working with such specific sites as a forum and/or blog, you absolutely must love the subject matter. Honestly, we can only think for you to a certain extent. There are a lot of good people around here willing to help out but odds are they won't always share their next great idea if it can be profitable.

That being said, let us know what you like. What are some of your hobbies? Things like that will give us an idea of what you're interested. Otherwise, pick your favorite subject matter and construct a website about it.

Thanks for the replies.

Computers is pretty much I think the hobby of people who like web development, which is why it seems there are tons of sites regarding web development. It would be hard to join the market with little resources. I don't no anything too advanced about anything else, so it'll be hard.

How about computer repair? There aren't many sites dedicated to that!

...Maybe you should develop one..

I think that's a good idea. Computer makers have notoriously bad tech support, so a good, easy to navigate, site on major problems and their solutions I'd find helpful.

I've found what everyone else here has said to be true too...if you aren't interested in the topic the site will die an early death. So, if you know a lot about repairing computers and are interested in that field then go for it.
