Hello. please, i'm torn in between creating a nigerian targeted website or worldwide. I want to create a music/video download/stream website which will also have some musical related features. I'm confused on whether to brand this website a website mainly for nigerians with nigerian music, contents and features or whether to make it a worldwide thing.

And again, which web host do you think is suitable for my kind of website? *Note it will require a lot of music/video upload and download including a streaming feature.
I am a newbie to blogging, It would really gladden me if some of you expert bloggers and website owners would give me some advise, tips and tricks to get me going in my newly embarked journey.
thank you and God bless you.

We really don't care if you target a Nigeria market or worldwide.

What we really care about is the current situation of things in Nigeria.

When you start earning money,will you also come back here for our advice on how to spend it?

Greedy op. He is the op and ftc

Please make it nigerian targeted. If u make it worldwide targeted it will be too much and you wont be able to cope. There r too many songs being released worldwide and your site would be getting updates every second. You cant provide all genre of music. You have to target a specific part. Eg gospel,hip hop, soul etc. Dont do more than three genre
And downloading free music i.e(distributing music online for free) in sum countries. Eg uk us. Is illegal....research on it. So....help develop nigerian music. Take after tooXclusive.com. See how they do their things. And emulate. Once in a while u can throw in american songs trending in nigeria. Eg work by rihanna

Ask google my friend



This is too early to ask nairaland


We never wake

I had same tots sometime ago. Was reli thinking of making it a worldwide thing if im gonna hv music from all over the world on the site. But if u want only nigerian music on it then i think u should shld make it a naija tin for Nigerians to capture it easily.

my advice, don't despise d days of little beginning, start with Nigeria brand but make it a goal to go global. if ur voice is not loud enough in Nigeria, how will those in even Benin republic hear u?

It depend on your website mission. Since it content is for Nigerians, go for the top-level domain, .ng
As regards hosting, you can check siteground.com. They're friendly to bloggers.

Everybody have der own wahala

Capture your immediate market first...then spread out

You should make use of.com extension,have a category that will have american musics... Subcategory hippop, jaz etc, Nigerian music Subcategory same thing here....

Make it global.
My blog site that is U.S based receives traffic from outside of the U.S

Okay

Chai. See #SAN. Spacebookers association of nairaland

Bros, blog about sth else.

since you are offering music downloads i suggest you focus mainly on nigerian songs,
foreign songs will attract DMCa and you wouldnt want that! Trust me!!
Sites like http://thebase.ng targets naija

Are u going to pay for copyright?
They'll track you down and get you arrested for piracy o.

You'll need some form of licence to operate such website especially if it involved American/English music.

Make it Nigerian, else you'll be faced with multiple lawsuits from foreign musicians.

1. Target Nigerians to avoid ban from international policy.

2. Use Godaddy as your host.

3. Ask for more.....

For now, your target market should be Nigerian/African songs. The large population of Nigeria is an advantage. Cater for Nigerians first before going worlwide. Facebook started from Harvard before expanding.

You want a site like www.videonaija.tv

Anyone can submit their video content
And we support artists, actors and aspiring video bloggers.

Buy a Nigerian domain (.ng) and target naija. Ranking for international music niche will be difficult. Local SEO is d best for now.

Lots to learn man. Have a look at our sites and if you like what you see.

I thought the site is about impacting knowledge, I would have said you should go global. Coz Nigerians don't cherish educating news.

Since it's about entertainment, bros, don't hesitate go for Nigerian audience. And you are also safe from any piracy trouble with these international artists.

Regarding your web host, I'll advise you go for Bluehost if you plan on using WordPress. You can get a special offer for WordPress hosting on this page:
