OutOfRegs.com

A military humor website

Averaging several thousand unique visitors a month, OutOfRegs.com was a military humor website that I ran from 2010 to 2017.

Technologies used

The website was cloud hosted and was made using PHP, MySQL, HTML and CSS. It also had an active forum that used phpBB, and utilized the forum’s api to allow registered users to submit content on the main site.

Integrations

In addition to hosted images, the website also used YouTube to host video content, and at one point the YouTube channel had several thousand subscribers with millions of video views. The website also used the Facebook comments API to allow users to comment on posts without registering for the site.

Social Media

The website used multiple social media platforms to cross-post content and increase publicity, including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.

Profitability

The website required minimum upkeep, and at it’s peek generated over $1k of ad revenue per month using Google Ads.
