This is my first journey thread, so I though I would share my idea here.
Here's the idea: Create an online movie streaming website where people can watch movies online for free. I then earn movie from ads and as an affiliate. Simple right? All I have to is by a domain, hosting. and somehow figure out how to get a bunch of movies.
The problem is that I have $0 I can invest in my project. My plan is to use a free sub-domain and try to get a source of income to see if the idea works. I've decided to use WordPress for this project.
Another problem is I have no idea where to get movies for my site. I'd prefer for them to be embedded, but I have no idea what I'm doing. My solution to that is to simply embed old movies from YouTube. So far, I've uploaded 10 old movies embedded from YouTube. I plan to find a better way of getting movies and later start monetizing the site after I get a movie database build up.
One source of revenue I explored was using coinhive to mine Monero in the viewer's browser. Would this work?
If anyone has any tips for starting a movie streaming site, feel free to leave any suggestions you may have. I plan to update this post often and share my experience.
