Development Help

[sashas]

I'm not sure if this post should go here, but I'll plop it up nevertheless

I have a domain, OscarPrediction.com
there are about 3500 Overture searches for the exact phrase ('oscar prediction'), and I'm sure this number would go up a lot during Oscar season (say January).

I'm not sure what to do with this site, though. I am heavily into movies (I study film production in college), and would really have no problem writing about them, though I'm not sure if I would have the time for that.

Or I could just put up a forum. Can I expect traffic if I do that? Plenty of people want to discuss Oscar movies.

Or I could just sell it (if I get a decent price, that is).

Any suggestions?

Also, I'm a complete newbie to website development...so that's a huge minus...

I suggest putting up a full fledged web-site, including blogs, videos, photo gallery, news & articles, and a forum.

I think you have an excellecnt domain, that won't make any money parking, so either resell it, or have it developed.

My suggestion pay a professional, and then learn how to add content.

Look at my other posts in this section.

Good luck!

Forums are hard to get going. You need decent traffic and a lot of active posters to make a good go of it. IMHO you would have to develop the name to get a decent price for it, because the term isn't very commercial. With regard to development ideas, a blog with the latest movies related content would work.

Thanks guys

I think I'll try and put up a full-fledged website for it. Will be hard to manage, but college's out, and I have plenty of time

Thanks again

also, can I hire people to write the content for me, since the way I see it, the site would be huge and require a lot of content that I can't really add myself

Definitely. You can try advertising here.
