The Best of the US

I have been spending most of my time the last several weeks working on my website, www.BestofUS.com. I want to redesign the site and build it's monthly traffic. I feel that BestofUS has great potential to do good as well as generate cashflow.

The Best of The U.S.

www.BestofUS will be redesigned to have a landing page which will direct the visitor to the Professionals Page, the High School Page, and our new page which is under construction: The Smartest of US page.

The Smartest of US is a contest which we anticipating will bring us site traffic of 3000 to 5000 visitors per day. I own the URL SmartestofUS.com. The contest has the potential to generate revenue through an entry fee. The details are being worked out with our attorney.

The landing page will also offer current content consisting of RSS feeds to relative blogs and news. The site will look like WebMD.com or Wellness.com, with the flash screens directing visitors to our listing pages.

All pages need SEO, and SEM work. We need to build our web links with our 63,000 listed professionals and High School student’s social network pages.

With increased site traffic and public awareness we want to build our listing pages business plan around increased professional listing upgrades. We need to offer a monthly or annual payment plan with an automatic renewal. We currently have 63,000 professionals listed with 300 upgraded to include contact information and web link.

We need to market our Best High School Student page through FaceBook and MySpace, and support it through advertising. The page needs to turn into a Social Networking site for the Smartest Students keyed to College Admissions, Scholarships, Competitions, and Intern Opportunities.
