1. Forum Buzz
2. Donations: Set up a page/catalog/wish list of requested donations… for example Donation $10.00 for 1 month web hosting
3. Father Day Strategy: Fathers day is our day! We should make a huge push to promote our site. One idea is to have our contributors see if they’re willing to give a message and plug our site. For example, maybe Mike Hurn “pastor of men’s ministries” would preach at another church on CD’s behalf???? We could even pay if we were getting donations.
4. Specialty Items like window decals for cars.
5. Men’s Retreats Strategy: This is another area we could be tapping into.
6. CD Wall papers
7. Trinket Catalog: Set up a virtual store front that specializes to our niche.
8. Contributor Guide Lines: We already discussed this.
9. Contributor Promo Page: Same as #7 but geared to promoting individual contributors. For example if a contributor was an author we should have a way to sell his books in a way that benefits him.
10. CD Mobile: a graphicless feed of CD that’s mobile phone friendly.
11. Sell CD products at no cost to us! Check this out… http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/sell/makemoney/ here’s all the stuff we could personalize w/ CD’s logo.
12. Develop a logo.
13. I see christianbook.com is a big partner in selling stuff at crosswalk. Maybe they would consider partnering w/ us?
14. Check into a religious news feed used w/ permission????
15. Prayer request page. We should be able to find a prayer warrior who’s willing to partner w/ us that’s willing to pray for people and their needs if they fill out a form.
16. Rotate pictures on the main page of actual ChristianDad members with their family.
17. Set up myyahho, google, and del.lic.ous links
18. fix favicon
19. fix security issues on forums
20. tweak header
21. picture of the day rss
22. share this
23. email subscription
24. partner with a porn free site
There’s a few ideas in here that’s money related. To be upfront with everyone at this point I’m more interested in ways to promote the site then seeking ways to make money. On the other hand I have invested well over $500.00 in the site and I wouldn’t mind being paid back. That said if you have questions over funds feel free to contact me.
