getting lots of email.
some good questions and some great suggestions. feel free to post your thoughts here.
a lot of you are asking me to reserve subdomains for you. it's great to see you all excited. keep in mind that some subdomains can be run by 1 person, and others will have multiple bloggers in order to build a stronger audience.
re: link trading
definitely will be incorporated
re: software we're using
custom + other solutions & always looking for more programmers.
re: layout options
I'm very flexible and open-minded, so anything is possible. however, if it's ugly, I may ask you to make some changes.
re: adult and/or mainstream
the network will cater to both. you are welcome to be a blogger for any subject that you're passionate about. you are not limited to one blog, you can publish multiple ones. but I'm not trying to create a large network of fake bloggers, defeats the purpose, so stick with what you know/love and blog... you'll build a loyal following and steady revenue stream.
re: blog updates
you can update your blog as much as you want. there will be limits on entry size (too low & too high) due to the fact that some readers will set up email alerts and I don't want readers getting hammered with alerts just because a blogger posts 3 words.
re: affiliate programs
yes, there will be multiple ones. will explain later.
re: designers
yes you can join our team to simply offer design services. you will be allowed to promote your design services as well. you will not be required to blog, but why not blog about being a designer?
I'll be blogging about domains, startups, VCs, etc.
re: US/English only?
of course not. Blog in any language you want to. Klingon for all I care. (yes that was a question I received. LOL)
re: Hosting Partners
yes, we are looking for hosting sponsor. you'll be able to promote your company on every page with a link/button plus earn a % of revenue when members upgrade to paid services. Yes, we are looking for multiple partners.
re: single girls, models, people with their own paysite
yes, you can use us to power your blog. and yes you can keep it password protected for your members only. you can even offer a free blog & a members blog. yes, you can customize the blog to match your site design, etc.
Thanks for all the feedback. I can see now that this may be a lot greater than I ever imagined.
more suggestions/questions are welcome.
