Even before getting into the technical knowledge or how difficult it is to run it, i think you need to start with some planning, including . . . writing down the following . . .
- Define your objectives (what are you trying to do and why)
- Define your product (what it is you are going to offer)
- Identify your costs (time, money and effort, equipment, etc)
- Identify your possible rewards (recognition, money, just for fun, satisfaction, etc)
- Identify your target audience
- Identify your promotional channels (advertise, word of mouth, etc)
- Identify your resources (money, time, collaboration, contributors, equipment, etc)
- Identify your challenges and competition (other sites, etc)
- Come up with a well defined plan
- Big etc.
I believe that once you write down all those things you will have a better idea . . . . and this will help you in making up your mind to see if what you are trying to do is doable and worth the effort and cost.
Hope this helps.
thanks
