Whats your suggestion about Howwebstuffworks.com

3 points by isakib ↗ HN
Hello there, I need your Suggestion.

I purchased a domain http://howwebstuffworks.com for an experiment to compete against crunchbase.com or venturebeatprofiles.com and howstuffworks.com. But, the experiment doesn't bring any fruitful results. Requires more features, functions, more information and so on.

What would be your suggestion? What things do you expect from this site? Or what business transform is possible with that domain? Any IDEAS?

Please share, I will appreciate your support, suggestion.

Ideas:

Collection of videos and articles explaining various technologies. Make money with ads.

Same as above except feature courses teaching internet stuff. You can make your own courses and/or feature other people's courses. For example, Laura Roeder sells courses on internet marketing for small businesses (http://www.lauraroeder.com/resources/). You could work out an agreement whereby you get some commission for selling her courses. See affiliate marketing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affiliate_marketing).

Lawyer up. I wouldn't want to be going up against howstuffworks.com's trademarks with a domain like that...
