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

[gaetanomarano]

anyhow, I want to tell you a little story happened to me in last months

I've bought a little number of ad spaces on some blogs (at prices between $20 to $75 per month) to promote my domains on sale and on auction (before) and (later) to promote my directory

well, these blogs are well made, with a good graphics (and often also good posts) but with only a few ad spaces (about four/six) and, in some blogs, not all sold, and, one of them (with all ad spaces apparently sold out) has removed the ad of a well known parking service to publish my ad

so, I think that, probably, 90% of blogs don't have ANY paying advertisers (or just a few) but publishes the banners of big domaining sites only to "fill spaces" and suggest to readers that these big companies know and like their blogs

also, all my advertisings on these blogs, have had VERY POOR results, because (from my blogs' log counters) only VERY FEW visits per month came from these blogs!

in other words, MANY small blogs have only fake-sponsors and just a few dozens visits per month!

I'm sure that all they want to have more visits and real, paying, advertisers, but they don't have enough thousands dollars per month to promote their blogs

then, dozens small forums, sites and blogs, may have a big advantage to promote on my directory, because this could be a "virtuous circle" for their blogs and their business

just a small practical examle to explain why...

step 1 - a small blog buys now an ad space on my directory for 3 years at $299 (around $8 per month)

step 2 - I promote my directory with part of the money of the first ad spaces sold

step 3 - my directory increases the number of visits

step 4 - in three years the small blog receives (e.g.) thousands new visits

step 5 - thanks to these extra-visits (sent them from my directory) they sell (just) three more ad spaces from real advertisers at (e.g.) $45/mo. each

well, if that happens (and CAN happen in three years) the small blog has...

paid: $299 to advertise on my directory, but...

earned: $45 x 3 ad spaces x 36 months = $4,860 with a net profit of $4,860 - $299 = $4,561

of course, their net profit can be "only" $2,000 or $6,000 but, surely, MORE than $299

which alternatives has a small blog to get the same result in another way, spending less, or even free??

nearly zero!

So someone pays you $299 now for 3 year and (hypothetically) NEXT MONTH get 3 new advertisers on their site paying $45 a month each (you show 36 months of revenue at $135) so that implies immediate revenue.

Good try, but I don't think that has any chance of succeeding. Zero.

Your business model lacks a QUALITY website with continually new content that will bring visitors back.
You might promote the site but what will visitors find but a full page of advertising?
They will almost surely click off immediately and never return.

Seriously, page 3 of this???

it's only an example, the first ad can be sold after (e.g.) three months, one month can be six, another month zero, some can buy a space for two months, another can buy it forever

what's sure is that a blog needs to sell only seven ad spaces at $45/mo. to cover the costs, then, from the 8th space sold up, they've 100% profits

This site is going to be worth millions, you're crazy if you don't see the potential!

This site is going to be worth millions, you're crazy if you don't see the potential!

my goal is not so big as you say in your ironic comment, but only increase the annual revenues of the advertised sites of several thousands dollars

Once again, redesigned or not, your site with zero content, and only a bulletin board with placeholders for ads is worthless and will not attract any paying advertisers.

There is a thing called: A Job. Master it and get funds, then invest wisely.

But that takes time and effort and hard work. There must be an easier way. I know...I'll call myself a domainer and ask people to give me money for these ideas I have in my head.

 

[gaetanomarano]

placeholders for ads

many domaining blogs have only a few articles and are rarely updated with news

maybe, I can do the same thing, but I think its useless, since it's not the target of my site

A Job.

what I do already needs very much time and, if I find the funds for my project, the time and efforts to develop and follow them, might be up to twice than what you call "a job"

ask people to give me money for these ideas

I think that all investors and advertisers will have larger advantages from doing that

Mate, for every job seeker, the interview for the job they have applied meets their requirement, but whether they meet the job requirement is upto the decision of the company and its ndividuals. So, as I mentioned in my first post, you have already shared so much that it is no more an idea (i hope u understand this what i meant .. maybe alrady the softwares with good documents are ready by now ) and the business model you talking about is the basics of the marketing model of the chain marketing section.

but as you said, you have different models and ideas which you want to link to it,
so wil suggest to please stop thinking and talking much of it and start working and promoting it.

if you want to discuss, then talk on how to promote , take suggestion and feedback nicely. dont block your mind with - This is Final.
Every model and tool has its beta version ... this is the reason

 

[gaetanomarano]

an idea

it WAS an idea, now it's a site

just a suggestion to potential investors

as I've said, I can't reveal all my ideas, but I've revealed about 1% of them on my ghostNASA blog and on my gaetanomarano.it and NewSpaceAgency.com websites

so, if the investors will have the time and patience to read my articles, they will be able to know what kind of (big) ideas I can develop

another way that I'm trying to use to fund my websites and projects is the "t-shirts/gadgets-funded startup" as explained in this zazzle forum thread

what do you think about?

I think you have another dead end.

You sell only 1 T-Shirt with a huge print that cover the entire front of the shirt that says:
"I Have Bought this T-Shirt to Support the New Space Agency and Low Cost PC Projects"???

http://www.zazzle.com/gaetanomarano/gifts

It appears you are a one person charity, and the recipient of the charity is YOU.
I don't think you get many takers so hopefully you did not print many shirts...

How about trying to design T-Shirts with catchy phrase, or unique designs? Something people might really want to buy and wear.

 

[gaetanomarano]

It appears you are a one person charity, and the recipient of the charity is YOU.

are advertising and sponsorship a sort of charity?

those who buy the T-shirt are SUPPORTERS of my projects,. and I want that this is clearly written ON the T-shirt

the number of T-shirts is limited to the funds neededto start the two projects, then, the selling will end and, if the projects will be successful, the nth people that have supported them, will have an exclusive T-shirt that, someday, if they want, can sell on eBay

it's like be the few owners of the first vinil record of a (now) famous singer

have a idea, sell stock and acquire resources and launch the idea.


But no one will want to buy your stock or invest in your company, if you have no experience, or if you cant even launch a small site or even atleast have any history what to do, or DONT KNOW How to convince investors, keep in mind, they are not stupid.

Good luck
