As a rule, the creation of a website begins with defining its purpose or subject matter. Often, even this stage causes difficulties for beginners, and sometimes for experienced webmasters. How to choose the most promising from a variety of ideas so that the site is interesting not only to you, but also to other Internet users, and also brings income to its owner?
It is necessary
- - paper;
- - pen or pencil;
- - a computer with Internet access.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a piece of paper and a pen and write down every website theme you can think of. If you have no ideas at all, ask your friends for help, analyze the headings of large Internet directories (for example, www.dmoz.org, www.yaca.yandex.ru), remember which sites you visit most often. Write down even the most absurd ideas.
Step 2
Reduce the list to a few items (5-7 is optimal). Feel free to cross out overly banal or too narrow topics. In addition, you should not create sites on topics with very high competition. You can check for competitors using any search engine.
Step 3
If you are going to write content for a future Internet resource yourself, leave only topics that are well known to you on the list. Even when planning to order the content of the site for professional copywriters, you must have at least minimal knowledge of the selected topic.
Step 4
For a future site to generate income, it must be of interest not only to you, but also to potential visitors. Use online services for checking the statistics of search queries, for example, https://wordstat.yandex.ru. If there are very few queries on your chosen and related topics, you can hardly count on the great popularity of the site and a solid income from it.
Step 5
Think about how your future site will differ from competitors, what will be its "highlight". If a web resource is interesting and useful to the user, he will return more than once and, possibly, tell his friends about your site.
Step 6
Consider how you will monetize your site. The price of a click in contextual advertising systems, the cost of paid links and banner placement will largely depend on the subject matter of the resource. Analyze potential income using services such as www.direct.yandex.ru, https://my.begun.ru/service/competitors.php and others.
