At this point we have a lot of ideas but not a lot of discussion. I don't think it's going to work like this. Trying to do this as a group is more complicated and it needs some structure.

It's like we have all these great engine parts lying around, but we need a frame and a plan to make the car we can all ride in.

I agree, this is the reason for my earlier posts.

I believe that the foundation for the frame is the mechanism for maintaining the balance of equity.

I thought that nameslots' earlier statement that everything would be paid for out of the invested funds was a good suggestion for maintaining the balance.

an example:
Someone could not just do 3 days work and then expect their share to go up, because that would mean someone elses share would have to go down.
If that is the case, then those with more spare time would eventually own all the equity.

another example:
one person does more work than most others, but does not receive anything for it.
they are then unhappy, and this may cause arguments.


I understood nameslots' earlier statement to mean that the shares are fixed at time of investment. If work needs to be done, and a member wishes to do it, then they would need to provide a cost estimate for the work, the group would then vote to decide which estimate to accept.

In this way, the funds are fairly distributed, members are compensated for their efforts and there are no disagreements over equity shares.

I am not saying that this is necessarily the best way of managing the equity - more ideas are very welcome!

How about a demo run?

Lets just imagine we all have invested $50 in the funds and then start talking how to go on from there. We will come to know if this is working and if there are problems we can fix them before giving it a real run. :grin: As a developer this is what came to my mind. I hope this demo run will atleast give us some insight about the real dealings.

Lets accumulate it in some paypal account. It can be anyone from us. It doesn't matters.

So here is my $50 investment. Plus the paypal fees added to it. I don't know how much they cut in your accounts but in mine those people are cutting too much. They usually cut $4 to $5 for $50 transactions. :grin:

Lets get the investment (Imaginary) and then start investing :grin: (Imaginary)

hello, So this topic always gets dead quiet soon.. This are the things which happen always.. we just discuss and dont implement. i really want to start something atleast but many times im also short of time..

And the same thing is happening with all of us.. And we are not quiet serious on this things.... But as u know that i keep trying things and i have something with me currently...

I just would like 2 take help of all you guys... Now i would tell you all the Details about it soon.. But before i have few questions and i want all the suggestions from you..

If we got a Domain name n In 1 yr it should make $50 to $100 approx..
Through parking, developing or any way. It should make that much money.... So what u guys think how that should be done........ And remember 1 thing im talking about 1000's of names.. and each domain making that much approx.... some may make less like $30 in 1 yr.. but approx u can say around $50 to $100 in 1 yr....

Please post your ideas, suggestions Whatever you could.. If we got te way i would get the best Deal for every1 ;).......

Start Posting :D

Means we can buy in good domain names and park them as an investment?

Lets count somethings if we are a group of 4 investors and are willing to park say 1000 domains then each investor would approximately have to get 250 domains worth of money into the funding. I don't know exactly how many domains and what kind of domains we would be getting so I don't know its price. Maybe it can vary from $2 a domain name to $100 a domain name.

The investment is good idea and I had always waited for reply from someone to give it a demo run.

Thanks.

hello admin,

Yes i know Domain parking is the option but the thing is that much revenue is not that easy i mean it could be done.. but not that easy.. The thing im asking is i need more option.. I got the good ideas. but need exposure..

1000 names is just the start it wound go 2000, 3000 like that.. Just the thing is what are the option...

Parking is 1 option...

i would like 2 know others.. And lets take this are new domain names.. Investment is 2nd thing currently..

im talking like if we have adsense or other programs.. If you are serious about things we could really make is bigger and best... so get the best what u can get..

If we are reffering to developing it into a site and then making profits or making profits by selling that site. Then I think it will be more money in it with much less investment.

We have to get good domain names. Which sometimes comes at good price. We can even reg some good ones that are available and have development value to it.

Script we can make it that is not a problem. Time taken for developing the script would solely depend on the type of the script that goes with the type of the domain name which we have brought in.

Marketing: We all are mostly familiar with marketing a website and how to go on with promoting it more and more.

On an average if counted I think we can get the first fruits out in 3 months. Lets say if we wait for PR update so that the buyer can see it on toolbar and can pay us more considering that PR also an option.

ok admin good suggestions. n its good we can make more money.
but just remember I'm talking about 1000 names so considering tht we need to think.

I'm willing to try one site to start with. We need someone to serve as a "leader" and to keep things organized. But we all need to contribue about the same amount in different areas.

If we can all work on one site and have it work, then would should be able to do 10. Then 100. Then 1,000.

Heck, if we can all work on a site and sell it for $5-$20k in 3 to 6 months, that may be more worthwhile that trying to create hundreds of average little sites, no?

Agreed Nielsencl. Would you mind taking the leader position. It doesn't feels good to be an admin and also take a leader role. [Looks partiality from where I see it]

I am in. Nielsencl and getaddicted I thing you both are also in, but we will have to confirm on it from your sides. If nielsencl takes on the leader role then I can send my "I am In" PM to him :grin:

Thanks.
