Coryan Update: Researching Web Ideas
Well, Thanksgiving is over, and I am truly stuffed. I had two of the most amazing meals in the past couple days. And while enjoying the break, I’ve decided to add regular updates about my own career change journey that I will call Coryan Updates.
About a month ago I decided to begin the steps to changing my career. As I’ve explained in other posts, I decided to go the moonlighting path to starting a business of my own. I’ve choosen to create some websites that will earn revenue through advertising, memberships and possibly product sales.
I first generated a list of about 10-12 website ideas. I then went right to the Internet to search for available domain names. This turned out to be more of a challenge that I had expected. I used GoDaddy.com to research specific domain names and NameBoy.com to help generate new name ideas. After about three hours of work, I had a list of 20 available names that had (in my opinion) some potential for the website ideas I had generated. I then narrowed the list down and purchased six of the domains.
I then started this blog and another called Listonga. [Editor's Note: The blog is no longer active, so the link is now to the Listonga website.] The blogs were to help me develop two of my website ideas and to learn about web design and advertising. I also signed up at Lynda.com, an amazing website with video tutorials covering more than 100 software titles. I have been learning to use PhotoShop and DreamWeaver (web design software) by watching the videos. It’s been a lot to learn, but it’s enjoyable and necessary.
So now I have to put these new skills to use. I will talk more about that in my next update. Keep an eye out for Coryan Updates in the future. They will occur on occasion between the regular articles and information.
