Those of you that have followed my ramblings on WA know that I built a web site for my buddy Dave to get my feet wet, and was pleasantly surprised when it generated a couple of $$ for both of us. Oh, and as a bonus, it generated a bottle of red wine from Dave who said, and I quote, "there will be a lot more where that came from if that site keeps working." I wanted to include that quote in a post so I can send him a link in case there is a need to refresh his memory at a future point in time. :) Anyway, now it's time for me to build a web site of my own. The following are some ideas I've been playing with. I covet your comments, and, if one of these stands out to you, would you "vote" for it? Trying to decide which way to go, and that will help.

startingoverwithnothing.com. This would be a blog that chronicles my efforts to start my life over after going broke, my third failed marriage, a felony conviction and a few other things. I think there are others in my shoes who might find inspiration by watching someone trying to make that kind of a comeback in real time, and possibly benefit from some ideas the web site produces (WA being one of them). The flavor of the content would be real and raw, detailing successes, setbacks, emotions, etc. To be honest it makes me a little nervous hanging myself out there like that, but I heard someone say once that "everything you ever wanted is located just outside of your comfort zone," which kind of makes sense I think. I would create some of my own products, have a paid members section and provide affiliate products worthy of my readers to derive income and overcome challenges.

ranchbronc.com. My son competes in rodeos riding in the ranch bronc event. I'ts a relatively new event (a few years old) that's been gaining popularity. It's more of a purist event if you will... real cowboys riding in working saddles. I obviously have in interest in the event and attend a lot of rodeo's to support my son. Content would be about the event and about the people who partici[pate in the event. Income would be dirived from rodeo gear, western wear, and related affiliate products. If I may take a moment to brag, here's a shot of him on a horse named Californio. He took 2nd place at the National finals on the horse...

hondatrail90.com. It's an old trail bike that Honda made back in the 60's and 70's. I cut my teeth (legs, arms, lips, hands, knees, head) on one of these when I was a kid, and they've kind of been making a comeback as classics. Very popular with hunters, motor homers and kids use them as retro comuters in town as they are sturdy and get around 100 mpg. Not 100% sure how I would monetize the web site though and an abundance of content might be hard to create. I just like 'em.

aerialcamerareviews.com. Pretty straightforward. If it flies and takes photo's or video's, I review it. Income would be generated from affiliate products. I have a buddy who designs these things and might be able to get my foot in the door with his company. Would love to get one of these to the rodeo!

votefortheantichrist.com. Nero, Hitler, Kennedy, Obama, the Pope, Prince William... from the day they flipped the switch and turned on the Internet, it's been a buzz with people speculating about the identity of the person, people or entity destined to become the "antichrist". The site would allow users to speculate and cast their vote as to who or what it might be. Sure to create controversial and lively discussions, with the opportunity to provide everything from prophecty books and movies to t-shirts as affiliate products.

listwithmeandsellforfree.com. A membership web site for real estate brokers who wish to employ a strategy (and other tools) I successfully used during my real estate career. Income could be generated both from membership sales as well as affiliate products designed for real estate brokers. To be honest, this web site might require more talent than I have to build, and may have to sit on the sidelines until I can get some $$ together to built it, but I think it has potential (1% of almpst 2 million real estate borkers in the USA @ $XX per month).

swingtradepicks.com. Years ago I traded equities, and I was quite good at it... no brag, just fact. To be perfectly honest, I would be trading now if I had the money (and it does require quite a bit of money) as it's an excellent way to make a living from home, albeit a bit boring and I hate sitting on my butt all morning. This site would provide stock picks based on a method that almost no one uses anymore (sort of my own little secret, but involves a telephone and actually talkiing to certain people on it), but worked really well for me. Revenue would come from monthly membership fees and affiliate products. I would also review other stock pick services to generate affiliate income from those not suited for my site, who might have interest in other methods of trading.

I have several other ideas if that I might throw out there if these ideas do not receive positive feedback.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND VOTES! I will return the favor....
