My unique server idea need help!

[Yack]

Hello and already a thank you! for reading and maybe helping me!

So I have been thinking about running a server lately, and thought about a new cool idea for it. So I now have that idea, but I don't know how I should start with it and have a high chance of making it successful, so I'm looking for someone who can help me with this and maybe even split the money we can make by getting donations or something.

I hope someone can help me, and please give me a pm or give an answer on this, thread!

Have a nice day!

Hey! There are plenty of good guides and tutorials on how to set up and maintain a server. Let me list a few:

http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum...91469-how-to-build-and-maintain-a-good-server
https://bukkit.org/threads/the-key-to-success-when-running-a-minecraft-server.47624/
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/guide-how-to-run-a-successful-server.44239/

They key elements to making a good server are making sure you have the time to run it, the funds, a unique idea and a decent website/forum. If you have the above then it's time to expand on your idea.

Before you even consider purchasing a server or website, make sure you know exactly what kind of server you want and set goals. Make sure you have your server planned out from head to toe, even if you only have a skeleton of its structure.

They key to growing your server is to make sure your players are enjoying themselves. If the players aren't enjoying themselves, they will leave with their friends and you'll be left alone. This, of course, is where the unique ideas/plugins come in. Make sure you have more than enough things to do in your server so it will keep players on until the next update, where you add more stuff.

This is also where the funds come in. Advertise. Pay a few small YouTubers to come onto your server and make some videos for publicity. Make sure you aren't hiring in YouTubers that have < 1K subs, otherwise you'll barely get any players, or even if you do, they'll leave when the YouTuber leaves. Also be sure to advertise your server on forums, websites and social media. Purchase a slot on voting sites to be placed in the top 50 or something.

Depending on the type of server you want to create and its chance of success, I'd love to help you out with your server!
