I wanted to pick FOFC's brain for helping me in a business venture I'm looking to undertake. I've talked about having a blog based on some funky things I do with dairy cattle genetics. It's done really well over the past few years such that I'm usually getting 400+ views/day on a slow day.
With that kind of audience, I'm looking to branch out and start an classified/exchange, so to speak, for dairy cattle. I'm thinking I'd like it to be in the form of a forum. I'd like it to be advertisement free. I'm willing to shell out some money for this venture as if I even sold one cow on this site it would likely more than pay for the hosting several times over (I intend on possibly selling 100s of cows through this). I'd like it to be fairly simple to manage. I don't see this being a high traffic volume site. I imagine my own margins on running the site will be quite nice so I'd keep it free for other people to put up their own classifieds.
Do any FOFC tech gurus have recommendations on which direction to go to put this idea into practice? Much appreciation for any advice.
