Title: Computer Knowing Stuff Type Guys..... Post by: stroh on September 01, 2009, 07:42:10 PM Can I get a website, buy this deal from http://craigslistclones.com/ and get something up and running?
Or is it a bad idea? TIA. [edit: I want it to be completely local to MN That's part of my marketing strategy.] Title: Re: Computer Knowing Stuff Type Guys..... Post by: twoiron on September 01, 2009, 08:01:51 PM Dare we ask what you'll be selling / marketing??
Title: Re: Computer Knowing Stuff Type Guys..... Post by: stroh on September 01, 2009, 08:14:39 PM Dare we ask what you'll be selling / marketing?? LOL niche/kitsch stuffed sheep dolls. Can't miss! Seriously though, with all the time I've spent on craigslist lately, I'm amazed/overwhelmed at how big it is and how fast it moves. And that's just the Mpls. site. I post something on appliances or furniture, and in one day it's on page 3. No chance. My idea is to play on two things. One: How big/fast it is; strohslist will be much smaller, your stuff won't get burried so quickly. Two: Take advantage of just how big and scary craigslist is; Tons of people avoid it simply because of the bad press. craigslist killer et al. stroh is a name you can trust. ;) Title: Re: Computer Knowing Stuff Type Guys.....

The "get a website" part might be more involved than you initially think. You'll need to find a good (php) webhosting company. (put time into the research, a bad hosting company will make life hard) Also, register a domain, and point it to your site (that part is easier). Looks like they also provide hosting for $10/mo, but I don't know how much control they'll give you. I suspect getting the site up and running will end up being 5% of the work. The harder part will be marketing and attracting users aka: Step 1: Build website Step 2: ?? Step 3: Profit! Title: Re: Computer Knowing Stuff Type Guys.....
