Hello all.
I just wanted to to get some advice from a few of you here. Ive been browsing this site again recently but joined in 2003. I am an oilfield worker who was recently laid off and given the current oil prices it doesnt seem a return to my field will be happening any time soon.
Now, I just wanted to say that i am by no means broke or in danger of losing anything any time soon so sympathy is not what i am here for.
I am simply wondering if there is any room for any "newbs" in this industry or do many of you feel the industry to be too watered down to allow a decent return on any investments that i may be willing to make?
I do have limited knowledge in web design, although outdated, but i am a quick learner and feel as though with enough time devoted to any certain project that i could be successful in time. Successful in making a decent product and not making money of course if there is no money to be had.
I would be willing to devote up to a few thousand dollars to a new project if i feel that within time i can see a decent return.
I guess what i am trying to ask is whether or not it would be worth it for me to register up to 10-15 domain names to create TGP sites just to get started. Normally, i would just jump in head first and ask questions later but given the current state of things i figured a little advice from some well respected industry professionals could be beneficial. Any advice will be appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time!
