Thanks for asking..
I will launch in December/January. I am currently organizing all my posts and notes.
It is a little scary because once I go down this road, I will forever be linked with game.
I don't want to ruin my professional reputation. Some people in my family will have some issues with it, some of my friends might be offended. I will likely lose some friends and associates.
Fuck it. I have to follow my heart.
I want to do something that no else is doing.
What would you like to see?

I know IRT gets a lot of hate here but teaching Indian men game can be a Niche , You would just have to look into finding a way where they will be willing to spend money on your brand of Game.
You are good at College Game, that's your niche, teach college kids how to game at a discounted rate, off course as their finaces are limited.
Teach rich people how to game , most have no clue.
Tons of Ideas, Do it right and Do it Big with proper maketing, advertising the whole deal.
Just saw this thread.
That's a great idea Gio! You're one of the best posters in here and are vastly experienced so no doubt that it will be a success. As others have said, go the niche route and establish yourself as the expert in that area. Become a relative expert in that field, which is not that difficult as most people are ignorant and lazy.
To solve your concern about affecting your personal and professional life, simply use a pen name, a fake/2ndary FB/Twitter account and you'd be set.
Regarding your comment about launching it in Dec, just one thing: don't overthink or over analyse it. Just get it done asap. The soonest it's up and running, the soonest you'll have a hang of things and will be able to build a brand/following. Write one quality post per week and take it from there.
Also, since you're one of the top contributors in here, if you need help with the site, I'll help you set it up and build you a professional looking site it at no cost.
Cheers man.

Hostgator is pretty good, I'm generally happy with them. Plus buy their middle plan and you can host lots of sites there.
The gaming niche is fairly saturated these days, so you'll really have to do something special. Agree either go deep niche or just do something amazingly original. The languages niche had been done to death, then along came Sexy Mandarin with a whole new spin on things.
Don't put your site on free wordpress.com, if a feminist complains you'll just get shut down.
Also hostgator are OK with porn and smut.

The gaming niche has been done to death, but there is always a niche within a niche. A game blog for older guys specifically targeting younger girls fills a niche within a niche that hasn't been done yet.
Gio, get started bro. Don't get everything perfect before you start, or you will never start.

The real problem is finding a niche which will draw traffic and hasn't been staked out already. You might do a blog on STAR WARS, popular subject, but how many other blogs are there with the topic? Good luck trying to get on the first page and I guarantee you Lucas Films will always have the top slots. You can blog about Flat Earth theory and might even get a number of good links, but what kind of traffic will it get you? And don't ever, ever try to game Google. The have people who live for punks trying to put one over on them.
I've had a literary blog for the past few years, has PR4, plenty of links, but the traffic averages 20 hits a day. Whoop-de-fucking-do. My conclusion: people don't read many books these days.
Key word search is good idea, but it won't anticipate the Next Big Thing or a crash.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think this will work for me.
All the successful Game coaches are publically known. They put their faces and identities out there.
Roosh, Krauser, Simple Pickup, RSD, Mark Mason, etc, etc.
All the top guys are public.
Are there any successful Game coaches who live in secret?
Maybe Roissy, but, he is a good writer. (And, his name and picture have been posted many times)
I am not a writer, I am an approacher.
My niche is approaching women anywhere and everywhere during the day.
I think I would have to put my face out there. I would have to go public.
Just like Roosh, Krauser, RSD, etc.
I can't hide. I have to own it and go for it.

Yes, I have thought a lot about this. Indian and Asian men have some unique needs that I can help them with.

Thanks VP. Sorry about the Spurs. Heartbreaking for me also.
@Rio -- Thanks bro
Thanks for the encouragement guys. This has really been a big decision for me. Imagine quitting your job to become a game coach, its some serious shit!
Krauser actually advised me not to do it!

Gio, I hope to read your blog soon. You are one of the best posters here along with MikeCF. If you do start a blog and go public, you can still ask him or others who you think can be good contributors to write guest posts for your blog without revealing themselves. This is what Roosh kind of does with RoK. You can be public and write and diversify your blog with occasional guest posts from others.
Any support you need, let us know..
Also I like the idea of in-depth weekly posts.

Or, you could do a blog about creating your own kick ass Star Wars costumes, do huge and very detailed tutorials with videos/photos/etc. from beginning to end on making a Boba Fett costume.
Then you could monetize it via YouTubes ad s since a very detailed video like that would go viral on YouTube in the HUGE Star wars niche. You could also monetize it by affiliate links to Amazon with all of the tools and materials you would need to make the costume.
However, your best way to monetize it may be by creating custom costumes for Star Wars nerds out there for $5,000 a pop.
Maybe you could then do a forum for people to buy and sell their custom made Star Wars costumes, light sabres, Wookie masks, etc. while you take a small cut for each sale made.
As I said, a niche within a niche. The above took me about 67 seconds to come up with.
BoldAndDetermined.com guy is doing very well for himself blogging about making money online, fitness and motivation. He found his niche within a niche in a very saturated market.
Yes, there are lots of game blogs out there. However, Roosh found himself a niche with traveling and game combined. Gio could have his own niche for older males gaming younger females. He could write a book, create an online course, personal coaching, Skype coaching calls, etc.
Just by looking at this forum, there are a lot of older guys who are getting into game. Gio could be the go to guy for the older men in this market. That could be his niche within a niche.
The good thing about that is the older guys probably have more money to spend than the younger guys. Also, guys coming out of a divorce may be willing to throw down serious cash for some in person coaching to get themselves back into the game, something they've probably been dreaming about during their 10 year boring ass marriage to some fat cow with a shit attitude.
ColSpanker, you obviously don't know what you are talking about, so you shouldn't be giving advice on this subject.
I use to own a blog that got between 12-15,000 unique visitors per month, and made me $1,000-$1,800 per month for a couple of years. Peanuts compared to many bloggers, but if I wouldn't have been so lazy, I could have done much better with it.
