Default Re: Agile Business on the Web (long)

MrNow,

"1 in 10 chance to make 20 times your investment within 18 months"

"Assuming 30K is raised"

"The intent is to create web sites that generate $600K a year minimum"

So, your thought is, you get 100 guys to put in $300 each. You brainstorm online and come up with and execute on an idea for less than $30k total cost. And you give youself a greater than 1 in 10 chance that this site is going to generate $600k+ per year.

Your pitch here is ridiculous. What you are asking here is for people to toss $300 towards a lotto ticket. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But saying things like "1 in 10 chance" about this make you sound more like a con artist than anything else.

"Look at what www.youtube.com has done."

YouTube has taken over $12M in funding.

"The people with no imagination are not reading this any longer. So now I name a site that is generating this kind of cash: www.plentyoffish.com. Go there and ask yourself if you might like to have 1/100th of that."

I guess the picture of that check got you excited.
