Thank you for your replies.

The sort of website I would like to start is posting photos on a website about Cairns (where I live). Also having a section where people can become a member and post where they are from and good places to see and things to do in their home towns.

Part of the website I wanted to put a section where people can post the type of job they do advertise their business so that if people want to visit a particular spot they have information there for things to do, doctors to see if need be, restaurants to eat in, etc...

it is an idea but worreid about starting it worried it wont work. I dont know if I should charge a membership and how much I would charge for a membership. I was going to make a membership cheap to encourage as many people as possible to join up..

I want to make it a very upmarket site simple in design so it is easy to find your way around but full of information where people will want to keep coming back.

I would like to make it a world wide information site and make it a friendly place where people can meet, chat and find out about what others do on the other side of the world.

Can you please give some advice on the idea and if it would be profitable.

I am a single mum and want to start a website to provide another income which will hopefully turn into a full time good income providing idea.

Thanks
