El mech, use Hostgator. Also Linkpush to build traffic. If you need a pro writer or team of writers to help you, PM me. Good luck!

Also look into WHOIS privacy on your domain if you want to stay anonymous.

That could be added later right?

Domaintools indexes everything. Its already logged and searchable (for premium users.) If its something really controversial you need to re-register the domain with whois privacy applied and/or register it using an alias and PO Box. Even then if there is a legal issue, real or fraudulent, the registrar will generally hand over your contact info.

I've dealt with multiple C&D from billion dollar companies, been involved with WIPO trademark dispute(s), etc.

One of my business associates had a porn business years back and extended family members found out because his name showed up somewhere associate with an unprotected domain

I also came with an "idea" some time ago, but i always postponed the actual making. Until last weekend i decided to finally execute it, and surprisingly it only took me 2 days to do the whole thing.

The procedure i did was this:

- Buy a domain from godaddy with the hidden WHOIS feature (to remain anonymous).
- Buy the baby plan from HostGator. (Multiple domains, unlimited bandwidth)
- I installed wordpress from HostGator, which is actually trivial to do.
- I compiled some info about this "community" of people interested, that was all in a youtube video and posted 2 posts in the blog.
- I put the link to the blog in the youtube video inviting them to post the conversations in the blog instead of the youtube video.

Now i am little surprised, given that the blog did attract the users interested in the topic of yotube video, and it receives about 20 posts in the blog by day, and about 200 visits daily, this in the first week.

I am expecting to monetize, i just don't know how (this is my first time doing something like this) does anyone have some experience doing this?

Hard to say how to monetize when we don't know the market you are in.

My idea is related with the adult sector, there was some video about some local stripclubs, i just added a blog so they can post about their experiences, i plan to open a forum also. Could i monetize this?

Yah. Get the whois privacy dealio. You don't want nutjobs hunting you down any more than they already do.

I know on hostgator wordpress is a one click upload and I would imagine godaddy is too.

Quick and painless.

I haven't bought a domain in a while but that sounds too high. Must be some other security bullshit they try to sell.

Lemme get on godaddy and see where you need to go.

What are your selected items?

If you haven't purchased hosting yet I would avoid it at godaddy.

No clue about their hosting. I just purchase domains from godaddy and host it elsewhere.

You're going to want to create a wordpress blog. I would imagine godaddy has it so you can press a button to install one.

Got it! There's so many options in the checkout..How many gigs/ email accounts etc. I'm lost. wordpress that is.

Fuck that shit through godaddy.

Get your hosting at hostgator otherwise you're just paying Danika Patrick's salary.

A basic hosting package at HG will have everything you need and be way cheaper with better service.

All you have to do is buy your domain at godaddy, get your hosting at hostagator, then set the nameservers to whatever hostgator tells you.

Simple.

With the help of some coaching (he did it) by Hotwheels and the tips from the rest of you guys I was able to get the site running in the infant stage. Anyone who wants to take a look let me know. I just don't want lurkers to see my idea until I have some content.

Now that I have a small grasp of this I'm wondering something. This was just a funny idea but could be turned into a hardcore manosphere site. In a very bad bad way. I'm talking about worse than anything. ever. Another thing about identity. Who am I there? Still El?

I Would say have a name different then el mechanico to hide identity issues ......

My site has been up for over 12 hours and Papa Johns hasn't contacted me yet or sent me a check. How long should it take? 24 hours? lol

Post: #48

El Mech. I'm curious as to what your idea is, so post here or start a new thread when you can reveal. I assume it's something like posting pictures of chicka you've been with, kind of like isanyoneup.com but my guess is as good as the next guy.

http://www.smartpassiveincome.com is my go-to site for blogging. The guy is incredibly thorough with his content and provides so much value for free it makes me hard.

Here's the link to his "best of" section... all of it is pretty much gold.

For those of you who are shorter on time, I picked 3 of his articles for your convenience -- here, and here, and over here

(bonus fourth here. This post is fucking deep but really really practical and interesting).

And then of course, there's the hallmark pavilna post here.

Finally, here's a cool post from Tim Ferriss's blog... highly practical but more targeted towards those who are looking to sell a product (still translates to blogging though).

I'd be interested in seeing your website, and if possible, contributing to it. Please PM me, el mech.
