Our discussion in class and last week's readings inspired me think about what I would do for a start up company. If I were to launch a website or blog, what would it be?
First of all, I'd have to find my niche area. Since I love lists, I'll start with a list of things I like and have knowledge about. Here are a few: UNH ice hockey, NHPR, Harry Potter, yoga, traveling, New Hampshire, Paula Poundstone, Indian food, Henry VIII's wives, Chinese culture, world news, owls.
Obviously many of those would be useless as a new endeavor so I can narrow it down and find links between the different areas of interest. One theme that sticks out to me is a penchant for exploring foreign cultures, specifically Asian cultures. No surprise there, as an Asian Studies minor, but how to I make it relevant to others and not just myself?
The next step: find a problem, fill a need.
There are currently 28,407 Asian residents in New Hampshire. Granted it is still only 3% percent of the population, it's a group that should be recognized. I could dedicate a blog to Asian culture in New Hampshire where I travel across the state and write about fairs, festivals, events, people, and issues pertinent to that specific group.
