So I now own www.FirstMLastname.com for myself

[MikeMike]

I am just trying to figure out exactly what i want to do with it... I know i will be using it for email, aka contact@FirstMLastname.com. My plan overall is to make it into a blog, along with a hopeful first landing page when you search my name. I plan on having my resume posted here as well with some specific info not shown (aka address, phone) but in general, I want it to be a general blog. The blog isnt going to be "hey guys, today i took a shit and..." but something that i am interested in. such as web design, automotive, marketing, SEO, Business news...

does this sound like something worthwhile?

would you place advertising on a personal blog?

No, no. But if it'll be fun for you, why not.

This.

my degree is e-commerce w/ a minor in Entrepreneurship... so I really want to see what I can do for myself with some specific SEO, as well as general postings...

 

[rcpratt]

I mean, if it gets big enough I'd be all for some ads. But it just seems unlikely to get big enough to be financially worthwhile.

Generally entrepreneurs don't come up with "ideas" that are 10 years old and ask a forum full of techies if they think it's a good idea.

so, you are saying this website is my business idea?

it's more or less so that when the headhunters come calling, and they outsource their social media searching to a company, this becomes the top hit instead of facebook, or twitter, etc... it will be more used as a networking tool, along with LinkedIn...

trust me, this is NOT a business idea, just something to get me some way to play around with SEO and more... I have other business ideas, such as banning you, but this is not one.

I am looking for input on what to do with it, not how to make money from it...

Did I say business idea? I implied that you should know for yourself. If you have to ask...?

and every entrepreneur still will talk with others to debate the idea and how it should be implemented... atleast every GOOD entrepreneur.
