New Ideas For My Next Dot Com

Teo Chun Rui

As my full time contract comes to its last month, I was wondering if I could anything meaningful for the remaining time before I head off to uni.

If there was anything I learnt since September 2009 about starting up dot coms, it is that, content is really king on the Internet. There is no question about that. All the blackhat ways to get revenue might work, but only for in the shortrun, eventually the Big G will catch up with you, and before you know it, your site would have disappeared from the first few pages of the search results.

It took  me a while, but my Football Manager blog is consistently ranking on the 1st page of google for the search term “Football Manager Blog”, and it is living proof that content is king on the Internet. I realised, to set up a great site, you have to immensely passionate about the content you are writing, and one should not make monetary rewards the focus and goal of setting up a dot com.

With that in mind, I ask myself, what can I contribute to the Internet that has not been done by others before.

It struck me one night, when I was driving home late at night around 11pm, and I was listening to Class 95 on the radio. It was some late night show called “Pillow Talk with <insert forgotten DJ name here>” or something.

And they had some marriage counselors on the show to give advice on how to ensure one’s marriage is a success, not only was the advice good, I felt the selection of songs the DJ picked was perfect. Reminded me of those songs that you listen to constantly on a loop to get over a bad heartbreak.

Only then I realised, how great would it be if there was a site, that had all the different kinds of songs, to help all the broken hearts in this world get over their sorrows.

I am certain such a concept has never been put into action before, and I would like to give it a shot.

If this idea is remotely interesting to you, you might want to contact me, I am looking at the feasibility of making this dot com a joint effort. Cheers!
