I've been procrastinating execution for a long long time. So just a month ago, I bought a domain just to force myself to start working on something.
Some background info: I'm very good in this game, let's call the game Mario. I've spent 4 years addicted to playing Mario and analyzing game plays by top teams in the world. I've played for several competitions as well.
So my idea was this, I started a site and I'm now blogging about Mario strategies. I've received several positive feedback from a forum, my post was Facebook-liked by 12 people in 2 days. (it's not a lot, but for a blog with only 4 posts and barely any effort on traffic it's pretty good imo)
I went into this solely because I needed a kick in execution. Fortunately, there is a need in the Mario community for my site, and the other 1-2 sites that produce decent strategy articles often write a huge wall of text that's extremely boring. I guess my 'selling point' is its simplicity.
The thing is, I'm not sure whether this idea is worth my time. How am I supposed to monetize it? Is the scale large enough for me to earn millions? I believe Adsense would be a good place to start once I have published enough articles and have decent traffic, and maybe followed by a release of an eBook..? But I still have doubts on it's profitability. I can safely say I'm one of the first who's trying to get into this market.
So should I continue to work on this idea..? I do have a couple of other ideas, some would require a little start-up cost, and I only have around $300 to play with.
