Hey guys and girl, i need your advise and opinions on starting up a gaming website that provides news, updates, reviews and previews on the latest games on multi platforms like PC, Consoles: X-box 360, PS3, Wii, Hand helds: Nintendo DS Lite, PSP, etc.
I mean like what do you think about it, if there was a gaming site that caters mostly to our local gaming community?
So if things picks up can held more gaming tournaments on a larger scale once we get notice from the big guns in the gaming industry.

Wanna create a free site that caters to our local gaming community market. Because most of the available sites are mostly US based sites.Sort of like a gaming info site by gamers for gamers.

So would like feedbacks, advise and opinions from all you veteran gamers out there.
So just drop your feedback here or you can pm me if you are too shy.

Thank you for you time and have a good day
QS

my only advice is to get ppl who can really dedicate their time to the cause.

it doesnt matter how much they know about games or how long they've been playing games. it's how long they can keep it up.

you won't be able to do it alone so thats why having good people to help out consistently is important.

good luck.

wow, tats harsh, but its the truth

Yeah bro of course i won't be doing it alone, reason is so many games available in the market these days, setting up my teams and connection soon.

Thanks for the advise bro

Tried doing it before but real life commitments meant the project was abandoned before it even kicked off. But you will get lots of help if you ask for it. Previously, I got almost a team of 15 people but too bad they have to leave disappointed.

So, my biggest advice is make sure you are able to put the time to get this running. Then, make sure you have the time and passion to maintain it.

I wish you all the best

i can help u write game guide... lol..but dont expect it to be pro-guide

Bro tell me more through your experience, about like setting up, any problems encountered, etc. Thanks for your feedback highly appreciated

Thank you bro will keep you updated

What thurtin and zio said is true.

Get people who can invest their time into receiving the latest news, and writing about them. No point posting a news 6 hours/1 day late when other game sites have wrote about them already.

You can have a small team, but hardworking, or a big team, with lighter workload.

Thanks bro point well noted

You can always start of with a blog first, like what I'm doing now. Besides, recycling news is a bit boring, focus on creating original content perhaps?

Yeah was thinking about that way too first since blogs are easier to manage

Come come i need more advise thanks

Just make sure the teammate is REALLY dedicated to write.
I'm invited to write stuff for some local gaming site for 3 TIMES, but all 3 sites closed due to lost interest even before the site is launched.

Thank you for your advise and support

Although planning is essential, too long of a planning period means the interest will wane over time.

Get something out quick, even though it might not be the best. The quickest and surest way to get feedback from your readers is showing them what you have.

No point discussing among yourselves on what work and what doesn't when ultimately, the readers decide most of that.

Ok point taken, anymore advise? come come all gamers need feedback
