I have decided to create new sites (five websites actually). The niches of these sites vary a bit from each other but the general objective for all is the same - education. In building a website or a weblog, one has to consider his objectives before even posting articles. In my humble opinion as a writer/blogger/online publisher (whatever you call it), I always keep in mind the kind and amount of information I can share with my audience.
For your appreciation, may I present to you my new sites and their brief descriptions:
Math and Math Applications - articles about the importance of mathematics in daily life and its applications in different fields of science.
Online Math Resource - articles about mathematicians, math games, math theories and free math tutorials on how to solve word problems in different areas of math.
Simple Business Ideas - simple business ideas and solutions for Pinoy in the Philippines with focus on small and medium enterprises.
Network of Ideas - practically a mixed bag of ideas but with focus on research and thesis writing.
Information, Facts and Trivias - a site about facts and trivias about generic drugs, food recipes, health and other things.
Another tip I could give to the readers of this article who wish to build new sites is that, keep your foucs. Most times, it’s better to write about articles revolving around one general theme unless of course you want to build a personal site discussing things that you find interesting (which may be varied and unrelated).
In addition, if these sites can generate some money from blog advertising or Google adsense, the money will be used to finance some researches I’m conducting here in Ilocos Norte. I have no funding from the government or the private sector that is why I need to generate some income online. Businesses in my province are not doing so well.
One of the researches I wish I could start (financial constraints and manpower are the biggest problems) is the discovery of an alternative fuel source from local materials found in Ilocos Norte. I hope I can begin the research on the first quarter of 2009.
