TOPIC: starting a site. Trying to make a brand and youtube and all

I build sites and SEO for a living. This i decided to do for me. I think it will be fun. I don't want to post the site or youtube until there is content.

Ive always done this for other ppl so its my time. I have my other companies were i dont have to really work them besides emails anymore. So there will be a bunch of traveling, fashion advice, diet and nutrition ( me getting back on track also, I fell off BAD )

so far got

gopro 5 hero
white and black back drops
professional lighting
drone for gopro and vacations
and a bunch of other crap.

Goal is in a year to 18 months to pull a little income. Doesnt have to be anything extreme my other business support me just fine.

Just trying to have some fun with it. I want to keep things updated. This is why im posting so i know what i hit marks i want and so on

sounds cool, man!

So, what's the concept of the channel… lifestyle/self-help thing? Thought about some unique angle? Or is it more just a hobby and whatevs?
Also, you'll focus just on Youtube, right?

god luck man.

fashion, comedy, Traveling and just whatever

also in the progress or starting my own ecommerce site. I supply a lot of site with things wholesale. So it's time for my own site. Not looking for anything big. 15 to 25k a month after 6 months from launch. ( Yes i know i can do that but i want to keep it small ish site. I will have worker and wont be doing nothing but emails and supply tracking )

With a dedicated SEO strategy you should be able to pull off some profit a lot sooner (6-8 months). What's your plan?

Did you get your site started up yet? Id like to see that when you have something published.

The personal not yet. Im working on my e commerce so i can get the merchant and all going for that first. Ill update the sites when im happy with them

Awesome to see this thread.

So is eCommerce your main money maker right now? What's your endgame with blogging and what demographic and nich are you aiming for?

As Dannn, what is your marketing strategy?

Plus, I'm thinking of trying out eCommerce myself in the future. What has your experience been like selling goods via buying wholesale? Do you sell on Amazon? Shopify? eBay? Just curious.

Thanks,

Ray

Yep i build site, do SEO, design and whatever. Put i have some ecom magento stores of my own. Im seem to be lazier doing the seo on my own sites ( i know stupid ) but after doing others. I just dont feel like doing my own. So i leave it up to forum and others talking about me. ( not posting those sites here )

I havent started working on this site yet. I decided to move my gf in so she can save on rent and can travel without worrying about paying to many bills. She does the whole small time actress/model thing so most of the time shes free to travel.

I will be doing 2 sites.

traveling/being weird/ seeing cool stuff
and like a BRO site lol. Im all into fitness, computers, making money, and just a bunch of things ive learned to do very well over the years. I will be sticking to the site/youtube/ig/twitter and a little fb for those. I already have a sponsor for the bro site. I was at a small ish movie award event that the gf had to go to. I was wearing something that stood out ( not saying yet until the site is up ) and the owner of the company of the tie i was wearing was there! Im not the greatest at smooth typing but i am at talking. Told him about the bro site and all. Showed him my other sites and sites i market for....and BAM. 4 youtube video deal. ( super happy about that, plus they are sending me free ties. I already have about $1800 in their ties. He told me to email him what ones i had and he will send the REST of them!!! ) some of these ties are like $3200 cuz they have gold on them)

ok so it's almost time. Gf is all the way moved in. This is after me moving to NYC 3 months ago so im finally settled and shes settled. Time to get this going

what kind of store are you looking to open. Do you have any ideas? if you need feedback or whatever. I don't mind helping

May be off top but want to ask: how does one mount the HERO5 Black in its flip-door shell and also plug in a power source for an extended time-lapse capture? The door flap looks to be permanently attached unless there is a trick to it. Even if the door can come off it looks like the alignment with the USB-C plug would be really close if not partially obstructed.
