It is a bad idea to start with an authority site. It is difficult to produce a website that commands authority with little or no experience making a website. Oops!
In 2009 recently graduated and unemployed I started making a website. Added flames to the sides to make it look cool. Hell yeah I am serious my first website is like a bicycle and should have some flames. The website had no traffic because there was no promotion, no content and looked like a 5 year old's bike, which is fine I was just experimenting and having fun.
Later I Started to produce content for the site and was about to an online article system through SQL and PHP when I learned that CMS exist. I went with Joomla.
Right after Joomla is installed and working I get hired. Website goes on hold.
Weeks after I Upgraded to a new job that pays more and requires no work. Not working gets boring so I start back on the website while keeping the job.
Now we are at 2010 I have a steady job, requires no work leaving me free time to work on my website. I really crackdown writing unique content the best quality I can. Also I design many unique and creative features that will let me stand out once completed. On and on and on and on I work adding features and writing content.
Now, I have a website that works (held together by duck tape) and am finally ready to become an authority.
Yes, one person can't hold down an authority site even in eSports.
What the fuck is eSports? Well if you play computer/console games and want money you go into eSports. Bullshit? Not at all see DotA 2 'The International' with 1,600,000 USD prize pool.
So now that I have this site and am ready to become an authority how do I do it?
Well I know how to produce content, how to get my website working better, how to develop unique features.
What I don't know is how I can make any money from them. This is Ironic because I wrote an article on how profitable eSports advertising is.
The websites audience is people with the above in the hardest to reach demographic of male 18-35.
What I am looking for with this post is advice, I have just stopped doing 100% of the work myself this month and am finally paying for content and for people to help me code new features faster. Starting 2012 my website will have close to one article a day, while keeping my sites main features updated. Will hire out small projects as well (such as http://www.wickedfire.com/design-development-programming/145274-ajax-graph.html)
So once 2012 rolls around I will have a stock pile of spare articles for when a writer misses a deadline but will still be updating 90% and be held together by more than duck tape.
In 2012 traffic will rise from the 50-200 new users a day it has now to thousands and soon after tens of thousands in 2012.
How should I handle this? Many on here are experts at this and I seek advice, who do I promote what do I sell.
