I've been involved with a website called CombatAircraft.com since its creation more than eight years ago. It's been a pet project, along with my good friend Taz, and without doing much of anything, we've enjoyed pretty steady traffic over the years. We always wanted to find some way to make a commercial outlet from it though, but neither of us have skills or talent necessary to make something marketable.
That's changed recently. We've enlisted the help of to additional people to help focus on the sales and marketing aspect of the site. We have a lot of work to do to develop some more interactive elements like a blog and forum. But in the meantime, we've developed a relationship with the magazine Combat Aircraft where we are the exclusive advertising sales arm for the North American issue.
Hopefully, over the course of the next year or so, we'll see our advertising revenue flourish and provide a solid cash base for some of the stuff we want to build up on the site.
