hello everyone

just a little background about myself so you know my features
Im 12 years old and am in high school
i dont get pocket money because my parents say that i should earn it myself
i havent got a paper round because my parents wont let me??!!
i recently did a carboot sale and got £25 ( that is funding my website )
i have made a website know what i an do with it bought the name need a niche
i have told lisa a few times but she says that it is up to me ( which is true because otherwise she should get all the money i make!
and i would like to make money from my website not even much just maybe like £50 a year cus that is a lot to me!! No we are not poor lol

Yeah anyways i made a website woweeza.com and i have the name but i didnt think before buying it I DIDNT HAVE A NICHE!!!!! Plus i only bought it for 2 months as that is all i can afford. and it only has 5 pages grrrrr

I need a niche and the first one i did was a page with book reviews on. i got easily bored and carried on, next i changed to how to write a book but i didnt think i was gonna generate enough traffic, i hav had good ideas but i dont have the expetese or money to do it. So now i was going to ask you guys whether you think a "how to play guitar" site would be good as i have played guitar for 2 years and is a very good musician as i play guitar piano keyboard and violin

So what do you think
P.s sorry about boring you with that mega long thread lol

Please reply
Sam:sl eep:

Hi Sam and your thread was not boring...the site looks great and to be honest, a domain is not as important these days as the content of site and the marketing behind it. I am a little confused about the whole 2 month thing though...if you bought a domain or a site then don't you own it until you let it expire? I would need more info on what you are trying to say in that regard. I am also a guitar player and have been playing for 34 years. There's a ton of guitar sites but we could always use one more... So, basically, don't worry about the name of the site...pick a niche that interests you and that you could develop into something of interest to others...then figure out how to monetize it if you want...your age may prove to be a barrier at this time of your life but there may ways around it...ie: father's/mother's permission and such...that though is something to consider after the site is on it's way to being a long standing site. I hope this helps. Take care and I look forward to hearing more about what you do. All the best.

You sound like a terrific kid. Glad to have you getting into the web site business at your age. You are bound to do well.

Two things. First, as you have noted, everyone talks about finding your niche, something you are passionate about. The guitar may be one for you. The reason this is so important can be seen in your own experience. Becoming successful here means years of involvement which is easy if you love what you are doing and impossible if it isn't.

Second, at least until you learn a lot more and develop your skills a bit you might want to go with a free site. Most contributors here discourage that, and I do too, but there are exceptions to the rule in everything. In this case, until you learn what you need to learn in order to pay your way it might be a good approach.
