Hmm, I think that you should have mentioned a bit the amount of investment both in $ and in working hours you're prepared to spend on this, it's one thing if you have a 100k budget and one thing if you don't plan to make it anything more than a hobby with some kind of coffee income.
Any site has a lot of possibilities, a name like your will not be confined to a specific niche as terms as casino or mining would.

But that said and reading your follow-ups since the start of the topic I would say that you can choose two routes.

The first, the easy one, building a website with an index of offers, Ico drops, promotions, etc etc, and try to build a community around it, betting everything on the ref/aff earnings.
Second, more technical and more time consuming, and which would require a few more resources than 3$ shared hosting would be to start your own service, be it a crypto lending website where people can lend their cryptos for a % income, a store based on the purse model but seems like this route will be on pause for now.

Essentially could I begin with a simple templated site on wordpress with widgets etc?

Whatever template you chose, make sure you don't abuse widgets and news bars and tickers, go professional, lately throwing an avalanche of information at the visitor from the start has become a real turn off especially for mobile users.

The domain could have been good for DeFi if you can provides staking as a service but it somehow technical and you must have the deep know-how on how users can get decent interest from their digital assets.

Yea, unfortunately the know-how is what I lack so the proposed idea of creating an aggregator makes a lot of sense.

There are quite a number of projects that offer earning by staking. Some of them have been going on for quite a bit so you can assume that they are serious about the main-net launches and making staking available. That itself could be a section to aggregate. You could divide it into different kind of list of service.
For such an idea, what you need is a lot of information and possibly permission from the main providers to allow links to their websites. Being open and thorough could help a lot because all of this space lacks curation and trustworthiness. Allowing ratings and reviews would be a good idea too like you mentioned.
One of the major work areas in most aggregator type services is in networking, marketing and promotion rather than the product/ website itself.

Yea I think the aggregator idea works best since the derivative functionalities like a rating system for example could make it unique. I would need to plan things out carefully though and study the foundational requirements of making the website very diligently before I commit to anything. First step would maybe working out some kind of proposal/blueprint with clearly thought out objectives.

Do you think its something that could be done solo? i.e could I built it myself or are there some more advanced technical factors that will require the building of a team. Essentially could I begin with a simple templated site on wordpress with widgets etc?

First, what happened to all the btc inside the old cryptoearn.com's faucet? Before it was sold/decommissioned, it was running a faucet since at least 2019.

I had 0.0004BTC in cryptoearn.com and now it's all gone. I'm sure other users lost their money too.

Pretty sure you're talking about cryptoearn.net. I've never developed this name and neither did the prior owner. A quick check on archive.org proves this.

Also it looks like cryptoearn.net is still being indexed by google as an active faucet.

Whoops, you are right. Somehow, I must have confused the TLDs of the two websites. cryptoearn.net is in fact dead since it just redirects to a blank page, so they must have exit scammed with my money. My apologies, nonetheless.

There are some aggregator-like website that gets good traffic such as defipulse, you might be interested in that. Especially with the recent defi hype, you can get a better traffic. Might as well research on that and design a better website that can offer unique features compared to the existing services.

There are plenty of other platforms offering services to earn interest by depositing crypto. When someone types in cryptoearn, they probably mean "earn with crypto". This then extends as a platform for giving technical services in lieu of crypto. Or even the simpler versions where you can earn from bounties, clicking on ads, sending hashtags about alt-coins etc.
For all of these use-cases, there are existing platforms. The past decade has been that of aggregator services. Maybe you could have an aggregator website of all the other platforms offering opportunities to earn crypto.

You bring up a very intriguing prospect...so basically rather than offer services directly it could be used to aggregate all existing services. Are there any examples of existing businesses in crypto doing this? Additionally, if it were to aggregate all "earn with crypto" services would it make sense to implement a public rating system i.e to help people filter out safe vs scam? The idea of an aggregator actually seems more feasible than offering an actual suite of services, which will probably require specific licenses etc.

Thanks for your response!

Hey Guys,

I own CryptoEarn(.)com and over the past few years I've received many offers for the domain, but, I think there might be an opportunity to maximize my investment in the domain via development. The name does get consistent daily type in traffic so imho it makes sense to at the very least explore this avenue.

By brainstorming I've come up with a few potential niches it might work in but the most prevalent ones would be DEFI i.e earning interest on crypto deposits or maybe some kind of crypto cash back program where you can earn crypto from your purchases. I have never developed a website but I do have some financial services experience from working in the banking industry straight out of university.

Can you guys think of any other niches I should be looking into? In terms of boundaries to entry which of the two that I've stated is more difficult? What CMS would you recommend to start learning?

All the best,

MineBCC
