Hey Fastlane, i'm DuskDevil, in my early twenties and new to entreprenuership and hope to learn a lot and also provide to the forum
My ultimate goals are to have a successful group of businesses that also strive to be as eco-friendly as possible and also give to the community.
Unfortunately for now, any projects I undertake will not be focusing on being eco-friendly as I feel doing it straight away would be shooting myself in the foot. Instead i'd want to gain some traction before transitioning to a more eco-friendly but still profitable business.
I currently have a couple of projects but have not done anything significant as I'd need a full-time job to be able to start them as side projects.
One of these projects is a clothing brand, that looks to a more younger and rebellious crowd, with a secret USP. I feel I could start that in 2020 as I have an artist who is willing to work with me and with services like Teespring or Printify, start-up costs could be relitavely low and with some clever guerilla marketing, could blow up. The other project is a sauce business, which would have a higher start-up cost and I have no USP for that so it would be a case of marketing and getting the product out there.
Other things that interest me are soccer, computers, food and gaming
I know some pretty basic stuff about tech and websites, and I feel I have a good eye for design, so thats what value I have
I own a domain name, it's a pretty common noun as a domain hack ( famous examples : like youtu.be, del.icio.us) and the .com of the word is not being used by a company (it's taken tho).
The noun is pretty generic but that also means it memorable, a similar example would be dragonf. ly [THAT IS NOT MY DOMAIN]
The thing is that it is too generic for some things, like clothing, as trademarks exist that would stop me, but I feel it would be wasted on a niche site.
What would you do with a generic but marketable word domain name?
thanks for reading
