Great quote James! You can make a site on anything Ulrich...as long as you are loving what you are talking about. And that goes for anybody, college student, high school student, grandparent, SAHM, WAHM, or a 9-5'er.

I am not a professional camper...but I enjoy it and we do a lot with the scouts and our family...especially since right now for us it is an inexpensive way to vacation, far more inexpensive than staying in a hotel. I am not an expert...but since I have some experience I am more of an expert than someone who has never camped. I can relate to how I felt the very first time I camped...and how my knowledge of what to bring and do to make it more comfortable has grown over time. And daily I read online all over the place to learn more...to enhance my knowledge of what I might not know so well, so that it is informative and accurate when it does go up on my site!

So in response to your statement:
Quote:
I'm not really a professional in anything so basically my question is: How can an ordinary college student (or person) make a site about something specific that could be successful?
You don't have to be a professional...just find something you know a little more than average about (Linux???...being a college student????) and go from there.


I have to work now...but somewhere in Ken's stuff, maybe it is a thread on one of the forums, there is a fantastic questionnaire which helps you brainstorm ideas for a site. I will dig it up for you later when I come back.
