    If you have the manpower and intelligence build a forum. You can attract people to it and with every post that they make, they're creating free content for you on your site. Plus Google loves forums.

    The third option seems to me the most practical because now many similar sites are in active demand. People need to communicate, change knowledge and experience, as well as sell or buy services such as link building, guest posts and other things.

    You given all ideas are good and can do better with ..... But as @Randall Magwood saying, you need a team to manage them properly to serve quality to visitors ...... These types of portals or sites will receive lots of garbage and you need to filter them on regular basis.

    1) "You given all ideas are good and can do better" - Can you give order numbers best to low best?
    2) "You need a team to manage them properly to serve quality to visitors" - Ideas and plan for it
    3) "These types of portals or sites will receive lots of garbage and you need to filter them on a regular basis"
    - Yes, you are right, and ready for above #2 and #3
    Just looking forward to getting one more suggestion, if you can reply by putting in order (A, B, C, and D) so we can start that first according to what is everyone says?

    Nice thinking, got the secret of rich, but can't share just like EM doesn't share his secret.

    I would appreciate it if you can guide me or provide your suggestion.

    Nice idea, appreciate the suggestion. Just wondering if I become a god and create the universe then I would lose interest in the physical world or universe because God is more interested in the spiritual world not the physical so what is the point of creating the 2nd universe and world since I am going to lose the interest. After the pain, sorrow, and negative humans will create more problems.

    Forums seem like a good option. Online directories aren't bad either, but can be difficult to manage.

    I think directory management is a bit easier than forums management. In directory you need to approve submission only but at forums have to manage many things spam posts, replies etc. and many more activities.

    Try to find a niche you are very interested in and try to form a community around it.

    If you can identify a group of people with shared interests who aren't already well-served by existing forums, this could be a promising route. However you need good community management and moderation.

    I recommend starting a forum. Forums are easy to jump-start and can lead to lasting passive income. Please bear in mind that it does require work and time. PTP forums are becoming popular these days, and you must consider what will be the angle that yours will take.

    Thanks, but can you name those offensive remarks?

    What are PTP Forums? Can you name a few topic or categories?

    What most topic or niche people will like from all over the world?

    PTP forums are forums that incentivize users to post. They do not earn much but it amounts. Examples are forumcoin and trendi
