Need Topics For Website

Personally I feel that investing and collecting are 2 VERY different things.

So if it were me, my first article would be trying to explain the differences between the 2.

Might want to touch on the different sources of coins (brick and mortar stores, online, live auctions etc) and the pros and cons of each. Novices might not have any idea about buyer's premiums or seller's fees (which will set back your investment by a healthy percentage).

Touch on the dangers of counterfeits and resources to reduce your risk of getting stung (guide books, forums etc)

TPG should be discussed in depth, again with pros and cons.

A searchable list of coin clubs, organizations & websites (like CCF) would also be helpful.

Good luck in your endeavor

thanks wade, i'll do that

passivecoininvesting.com I just made my first post, about the difference between investing and collecting. You can see it if you click on blog on the menu at the top

Cool. Is it more educational, meant to sell, or both?

Ricardo Hinds, what do you mean by "coin discord"?

A discord is a kind of forum, I think. Similar to an IRC chat. Very popular lately.

I just meant its only partially related to a website.




This. They were originally only used by gamers and what not but I've seen them for basically anything nowadays. Discord is just a very convenient way to chat about something whether its voice chatting or creating a bunch of topics, thats why I brought it up.





I don't know maybe it wouldn't, but I know it markets itself as a gamer thing when its really just a nice mode of communication for groups of people with common interests.

For ideas see the E-Sylum and its online archives which are fully word searchable to get started on a topic. Do a deeper dive on the Newman Numismatic Portal. Both are free online resources for doing coin research and they have significant content. Then take your topic to the next level with focused Internet searches of periodicals, newspaper archives, and your own original research and photographs. Contact the authors of recent articles and get their perspectives on your study topic. Finding ideas to write about is easy. Finding interesting content that your audience will read and relate to takes some practice. Good Luck!
