Find a market. Look at your local magazine rack to help you choose one if you are having trouble. I guarantee that wherever your hobbies or interests are, there are going to be others with similar interests.
Find out what they want. You do this by asking them. Look for message boards or newsgroups which already cover your subject or similar subjects. Do a search for your subject at ForumOne.com which lists most of the forums around the world. Then, simply go and read the posts and ask what people want or what they think is lacking in your market online.
Give it to them.
Once you figure out what people want, give it to them. Decide, then design a site which is exactly what they are looking for. Send out press releases, mention it in the newsgroups, trade links with other sites, and start growing.
I don't want to completely oversimplify the process, but in many cases, it is almost that simple.
The hard part is in the giving them "what they want" part. You may need to find a programmer to create it or someone to write it, but if it is exactly what people want and gives you traffic forever, then it is worth it.
Use the site to decide what you want to promote, ideas, signup for some of the Programs listed or not, the decision is yours.
We have included "Quick Links" though out the site to provide a quick and easy way to do a SEARCH for Traffic Exchange using our Search Engine to give you an idea of what is available on the WEB.
---- With more to added in the coming days and weeks
---- Reviews with pros and cons of the different programs
---- Newsletters (this would be tied into the saflist program and Auction sites)
All of the above or just one or two - Hmmmm
Looking over the list --- ALL but do it one step at a time
