I'm doing this as a hobby/challenge. The blog: www.21pips.com
Yes I plan to write new articles weekly, however if I don't see an increase in traffic I might not have the motivation to continue.
I'm not an expert in SEO, but it seems impossible to me to get a decent SERP (even for long tail search) in this industry. I'm competing against huge banks or websites with crazy pageranks.
Thanks, that looks like a good way to find a profitable startup idea.
But here I'm just looking for a small side project idea, and I'd like to find it quickly. So taking random people to lunch seems a bit overkill.
You learn far far more about an industry talking to someone immersed in it than any other way.
If you just want to spend the next few weeks coding, there are any number of github projects. If you want a side project - trust me, it will run and run for months if not years.
Get your linkedin page up, and find an admin at a local hospital, a CEO at a local charity. Take them to lunch.
