My 16th is in 15 days, so I'll tell you then.

Oh I intend to Soul. Just have to make the site first

And thank you jacen, I might take you up on that offer.

Dude, get out, this is the questions section. For the tag, do you mean in-game? If so, this is it: «SG.Hon»

You're right, I haven't explained it enough. Hopefully this will explain it a bit more. If not, I can elaborate. Value Proposition: The problem for the customer is that they do not have a good resource for finding information on release dates for video games (on any applicable console/platform); this also may include reviews for games, to see what is a good buy, walkthroughs, if the player/customer is stuck, or tournaments and competitions to test their skills against other players. The website that will be created will address this problem, by providing up-to-date reviews on the latest, or in some cases older, video games; the site will also provide walkthroughs, strategy guides, information on release dates and upcoming games to look for, and other miscellaneous information that may be useful to the customer. This service provided by the site will prove to be very valuable to the customer, by providing the needs in which they (the customer) are looking for. Market Segment: The targeted audience for the site is anyone who is interested in video games, wants to know more, or an avid customer who would like to start playing video games, but is looking where to get started. To make the group more specific, the age round would focus more around the ages of 12-20, but may stretch as far as 30. In some cases, which is not uncommon, there are large groups of players who are over the targeted age, or more uncommonly, under the targeted age; although this is the case, the site will still try to catch their interest, although they are not the prime audience that the site is looking for (If older people beyond the age range are interested, partnership or sponsorship opportunities may follow). Position in Value Network: Competitors include Gamespot and IGN (Owned by News Corporation), GameRankings, Metacritic, GameZone, and other smaller websites. Complementors include the game distributors, including EA, Valve, 2K sports, Blizzard, Atari, Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, and many other game developing companies. Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_companies for a semi-complete list. Other effects that can deliver more value to the customer can include partnership and sponsorship opportunities from the game developing companies themselves, through merchandising, advertisement, special privileges, etc. Other options may surface in the future. Competitive Strategy: The site will feature better layouts and design in terms of the site itself, in order to make the customer more interested. In addition, the reviews themselves will be in-depth, descriptive, informative, and may include user-inputted data. The reviews are the key point in keeping the customer interested in the site. Also, the additional effects of the site (walkthroughs, cheats, tips and tricks, previews/releases) will be enhanced and descriptive, just as the reviews will be. In order to keep the customer included, customers can submit their own data to be inputted on the site; this in turn will increase traffic on the site, and overall happiness. Also, in order to keep reviews up to date, partnerships

I have been in touch with him, but unfortunately his prices are a bit too high. I calculated that designing the site would be over 500 dollars. As for the site layout, I have a friend who professionally designs websites for big companies. He's made over 6 grand on it, and he usually charges $55/hour professionally. Although for my he'll only charge less than a fifth of that price.

Yeah, that's one of our plans. I'm drawing up a business model right now. Anyone who's interested in seeing it and expanding it can contact me via PM.

Internet based. More like gamespot, although we won't be running a merchandise shop. Although, in the future, that option may open. But for the long run, it's just internet-based.

The ideal is to start off small, and gradually become bigger, and increase traffic. Also, along the way new features will (hopefully) be added.

Thank you. :]

Why should age matter?

Cool, thanks bud. :]

It's paul!!!!!

Well, firstly I need to actually create the website, template, and get the content. That's why I made the thread. XD Good idea, and thanks!

Oh, sorry. By "Help", I meant helping to create the business model, strategize on how to get customers, marketing tools, revenue and profit ideas, strategies to beat competition, etc.

Hey, I'm starting up a company that is based on Game Releases, Reviews, Tips and Tricks, etc. Sort of like Game Spot. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with building business models, entrepreneurship, marketing, the like. Is anyone able to help? Serious posts only, non-serious will be reported.

Definitely have to agree on this one. I support this!
