Then you need a dedicated team including a designer, uploaders, experienced mods & admins, and friends who can promote your tracker by getting the word out. Ask yourself a few more questions like what is my niche, what is the purpose of my tracker. If it's just another 0day tracker, a movie or music tracker, there's already way too many of those. Then ask yourself where am I going to host the site, you need a good host (by that I mean a safe host, some countries are better than others for hosting a filesharing site). Where are your donations going to come from to keep the site running? Running a tracker can be very expensive, I've heard some say you should have plenty of your own money saved away to keep your site afloat. It may take your site months, even a year or more, until its established enough to run on its own.
Personally I'm bothered when just anyone thinks they should make a tracker. It's thinning the pool bigtime. There's enough great trackers that are struggling to survive. They can't get donations, there's not enough new members to go around, torrents aren't getting leeched so there's no seeders. It's a common story nowadays. I think this is a new phenomenon, I don't remember there being so many trackers back in the good old days. That's why the trackers you see that are doing the best are the ones that have been around for years or the new ones that have something that the average BT user wants.
