:::: how can I find enough funds to develop my websites and projects? any suggestion?

[gaetanomarano]

Why would your Domainers Gate directory be worth investing in? First "domainers" is a tiny market when it comes down to it IMO.You indicate you have a business plan/ business model care to share that?

I've explained in detail (and with many good reasons) the advantages in this thread:

http://www.dnforum.com/f60/domainers-gate-1-domainers-sources-directory-thread-434511.html

but the best reason to buy ads in my directory is explained in the post #12:

http://www.dnforum.com/f60/domainer...rces-directory-thread-434511.html#post1953015

the main reason to do that is, exactly, the fact that not all domainers are big like Moniker, GoDaddy, Afternic, etc.

90% of domainers have only a small blog and have NO money to advertise on several dozens sites, every month, for years

now, a blog pays only $8 per month to advertise on my directory, that's probably the lowest advertising price of the web!

I can not believe this thread is still going on.

a thread has good reason to exist (and be still open) until there are at least two users who have something to discuss

today's investors want to put all their money on world countries' public debts that give them around 2% profit, that's safe for their money, but stupid, since there are LOTS of small-mid startups and companies that can give them GOOD and higher-than-2% profits! they only need to be a bit brave, just a bit

How about you get this directory to the point where it is considered a company, than get people listed, than someone will want to join. You need to branch out for free and give as many piggy backs as you can.. I am only 22 years old right now, and I've sold domains for $10,000+ before I was 18.. You need to take a deep breathe, and realize, the majority of your first projects will probably not go anywhere.. I went on a domain spree after I sold a website for a few thousand dollars once when I was 16, I registered probably 50-60 domains and not ONE of them worked out for me.. 25 * 8.00 = 400 bucks wasted. I'd rather waste that 400 by myself, than invest it in a company that is not even a company yet.

I am only trying to help, and not be negative towards you or your ideas.. I think you should offer small rewards like the 400 DNF$ you have for one link on someones site for a little while. I always offer people DNF$ if they sign up for my new forums and make X amount of posts.. Good luck..

Your only options: earn it yourself, or get it from friends and family.

Virtually all VC companies invest in going businesses with great management and earnings.

 

[ukbackorder]

There are a bazillion webpages with zero content and no traffic who want people to pay to advertise on it. What makes yours any different?

Because he needs the money!

LOL

 

[gaetanomarano]

What makes yours any different?

I've many websites and blogs (with much more traffic than Domainers Gate) that haven't any space for ads nor I ask anyone to advertise on them

Domainers Gate is different because, buy ad spaces on it, is an advantage for me, of course, but could be also a BIG advantage for the advertisers, especially for the small ones, as I've explained in this post:

Sorry mate.... but I don't see any value to paying to advertise on your domainersgate site.
The name is not strong enough to get any type in, and there is no content to offer to visitors or bring repeat visitors back.
I read your thread, one of the responders on the thread is the owner of this forum I don't think he saw any compelling reason to advertise.

...its not just sinking in, eh?

 

[gaetanomarano]

now, the best advantages are for small blogs and sites, but, in future, also the bigger sites will like it

unfortunately, only the success makes a name "strong" and popular... :-/

And 'success' will only come if you build out a great website that gets a lot of traffic and repeat customers.
Look at the successful domain blogs out there, people pop in once a week or so to read the articles and post comments.
All you offer is a page of advertisements on a "bulletinboard" site....you gotta be more creative than that!!

 

[ukbackorder]

Sorry I don't see the point of advertising on a site with no content, no traffic, and no reach. Until you understand why you are doomed to fail in your ventures. Ignoring reality doesn't make it go away.

 

[gaetanomarano]

build out a great website that gets a lot of traffic

if I build a bigger website the smaller forums, bloggers and websites can't buy a space for $8/mo. but for $8,000/mo. or more, and 99% of them don't have so much money

my directory is aimed at all small and medium domainers, that (all them) don't have the money of big companies like HP, Apple or IBM to invest in ads


---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

you are doomed to fail in your ventures

this project isn't doomed to fail because, if I'll find enough money to promote it, from a different source, the site may increase its traffic, but, when that will happen, I can't no longer sell ad spaces at a so low prices, then, all smaller sites will be out

 

[ukbackorder]

Lots of 'ifs' in your posts. Until then you have a site with no content or traffic, no purpose, and no advertisers. You and a thousand others.

 

[gaetanomarano]

no content or traffic, no purpose, and no advertisers

all domainers (especially the smaller ones) "should" be happy that I've had this idea, "should" support it (buying ad spaces) and "should" help this site to succeed, not because it's good for me, but because it's good for their business

unfortunately, it seems that many prefer to see the site fail, rather than hope to see it succeed and be part of this success as advertisers, that is a nonsense

 

[ukbackorder]

You really just don't get it do you? *HOW* is it good for a domainers business?
If you also think we "should" support you by buying ad spaces on it are your prepared to support me by buying ad spaces on my sites? In fact are you prepared to support other domainers by buying ad spaces on all their sites too?

 

[gaetanomarano]

*HOW* is it good for a domainers business?

I've already explained it several times in this thread and in the specific Domainers Gate thread

99% of all forums, blogs and domaining sites DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to advertise on dozens domaining sites (and, infact, they DON'T advertise on other sites) so, for them, my directory, is the ONLY WAY to increase their traffic at a very low cost, because I will invest part of the money of these small advertisers to promote the directory

it's easy to understand

if I will fail in this project, all domainers will lose a low cost way to advertise their sites

 

[ukbackorder]

And it's been explained to you several times by several different people (who have made millions in this industry) why you're wrong.
You say your directory is the ONLY WAY to increase traffic at a very low cost BUT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY TRAFFIC!! You are essentially asking people to give you money for nothing. You clearly lack even the rudimentary understanding to get your site off the ground. In answer to your original question I recommend getting a job - big domain business is a bit beyond you.
I give up but I'll leave you with one last obvious question - you do realise there are people offering what you are offering FOR FREE?!

 

[gaetanomarano]

people (who have made millions in this industry

99% of domainers don't have million$ to invest, so, they have only two real options:

1. promote their sites on my low cost directory, hoping that it will succeed, or...

2. don't promote their sites

 

[ukbackorder]

Way to ignore the entire rest of my post.
