Website ideas

I'm looking at actually trying to make some $$$ from a website. Only problem is i have no idea what to do.

The website will be hosted for free so server/bandwidth costs shouldn't come into it, meaning there's a small possibility of actually making this work.

All i need is an idea

So erm consider this market research and let me know any cool website ideas you have.

Webdesign business is easy to setup, although rarely makes the dough :/ Becomming a famous/infamous website (for any reason) and selling merchanise.... There's not really any quick way tbh.

webhosting/webdesign is top of the list at the minute but i'd like more ideas

i know no one's going to pay like they do for SA or livejournal so content based charging is kind of out, unless it's something absolutely amazing/unique.

It needs to either offer a service or actually sell something. Maybe.

Do you have a regular source of, or large archive of, of any "particular media" which could be of interest to others?

creat an 'angry' site where people will email you hatemail and you post them and bash the writers.
then start charging people to see these hatemails

(i'm sure you could find enough curious/bored people to make some money)

offer a content site and advertise via affiliate programs. It's a ton of work, but other than setting up an online store and paying a ton in pay-per-click campaigns in a hope to not lose your shirt, it's the easiest thing. (no, not the classic planetarion banner-ad model..those NEVER worked)

Also, check out sites like:
www.marketingexperiments.com <--has a free newsletter but the paid content will be what you're looking for once you're "in business" (shameless plug)
www.webmasterworld.com <--Great forums for all kinds of web-related stuff
www.marketingsherpa.com <--another great newsletter.
http://www.associateprograms.com/sea...wsletter.shtml <--Affiliate programs site. lots of handy information about that stuff.
http://iafma.org/forums.html <---affiliate organization..helpful people as well.

There is no magic way to make money, it tends to be expensive to get started, and a ton of work.

You could always try doing a review or specialized information site. The problem, of course, is that "it's all been done" so you need to figure out your value proposition and go from there...that being what you have that no one else does. Build your idea around that and you're going somewhere.
