    Looking for ideas

    I have a domain

    grows . info

    I like .info and have had some success with them, I am after ideas about what to do with this one.

    I have been thinking a vegetable/plant growing site, I already have a large db with various bits of info. While a nice niche its not very profitable.

    The other idea was a "personal growth" info site, I am up for any ideas anyone has?

    Grows your business??

    As soon as I hear the word "grows" I think marijuana. I assume it's a Canadian thing lol

    I've no ideas but I have noticed that .info does much better on Yahoo than Google in regards to ranking. Sorry if this is useless to you, just an observation!

    "How to" seems to be quite a popular search term so you could use it for all kinds of "how to grow" topics, rather than sticking to only one niche.

    How to grow carrots, apples, onions, orchids etc.

    How to grow profits by, working from home, building websites, writing, etc.

    How to grow your confidence, network, reputation.

    How to grow your nails, hair, big muscles.

    How to grow old gracefully.

    How to grow a business.

    How to grow a beard.

    How to grow rich.

    OK, I'll stop there.

    That was my 1st thought when I bought it, South Australia was a pioneer in decriminalizing marijuana and I know it can be quite a profitable niche.

    Several good answers here already, but shouldnt the question be `what can you offer in terms of content"? no point in doing a gardening site if you know nothing about that topic and cant pay to have someone make some. Its nice to have a memorable domain like this but it is content that is king
    My suggestion would be a directory style site, linking to the `best` sites out there, maybe offering sponsored/highlighted listings to generate some revenue?
