Hello

Most of the people interested are from staff so I thought lets just use this section for a while. If we want we can make another section just for investment and some excluded staff members would not be able to see it.

I have already assigned the access levels for this thread. So it is safe here.

Thanks.

-Nameslot.

may I know the details of this things admin? Investment for what? like business discussions?

Yes we did had an initial discussion over here http://www.nameslot.com/Domain-name-inve...-2267.html

It will give you some idea about this investment and combined efforts from some of us.

Thanks.

Thanks admin,
i go through that thread and i m really interested. i have post my reply there.

thanks

Yes I think today that competition is also going to end.

Lets start this whenever as soon as possible. I have heard that nielsencl and sohil both have something to say. So lets wait they will post something tonight. We can get started on it as soon as we are all clear.

BTW how is your health right now, Jignesh. I hope it is not so serious.

I'm confused! :confused:

I understand this to mean buying development time with invested funds (even though the developer is from within the group)

I understand this to mean contributing development time (for free) in addition to invested funds.

Is the proposition to invest money with which we will buy development time.

Or

Is the proposition to invest money + development time.

???

Its fine now, still it will take some time to recover. i got prescription from doctor and feeling batter than yesterday.

thanks for asking..:grin:

RCRiver,

This idea just came from that trouble-maker Nameslot. Some of us have like some ideas and added others, so there is some confusion for most of us as to what this will be exactly. What I think most of us agree on is that we are interested in trying to do something more as a group or a company.

We have all come to know each other somewhat and we all seem to like and respect each other. We also each have different skills, abilities, and resources. While each of us can and do have some kind of business that we do, we all learn from each other and benefit on an informal fashion.

I think what we are doing is talking about being organized into some type of structure where we contribute different things for a common goal of getting filthy rich. Just kidding. Making more money is part of the motivation, but most of us also feel that if we can also help others, the same tide raises all boats, and we gain more on a spiritual/friendship level.

One long-term goal I would like to have is to be able to invest in those that have time and aptitude that we can help to develop their own small business of some kind. In return for our investment, they pay us back with interest over time as they can. I first heard about the concept of "microloans" a few years ago and the large changes you can effect with such a small investment is cool. And since the loans are small, the risk is also small.

Short-term, we have to figure out what we want to do and what kind of structure we want to have that is fair to all. I don't mind a money-only investor if it gives us more to work with, but I think perhaps their percentage should be a little less of the profits, maybe. Giving money is easy (if you have it), giving of yourself and your personal energy is not so easy.

Our first thing to do would be to take stock of our inventory and see what we have to work with. We have domaining, SEO, site building, programing, hosting, marketing, PPC, webmastering, web reporting and analysis, and link building skills that I am aware of.

One thing that I might be able to contribute is strategy for a large network of sites. Most of us already have sites that can provide links and traffic. By being part of the network, we all contribute some traffic to the other sites and in return receive traffic back. The concept is to have as many resources and different kinds of good sites that once someone visits the network, they move around to different sites and only leave us when they use a paid ad of some kind.

Yes so that no one thinks his time is being wasted for free.

Yes time is to be invested the person who is working is to be looked upon we cannot just give him the work and then wait for the outcome we will have to guide them at some points.

It is a proposition to invest money and earn returns.

For that whatever things needs to be done will be done.

One small example. If we want PR 5 links from 10 sites for some project of ours. And if from investors there are ten PR 5 sites then why to give the money out. Why not buy it from that investor as if he is someone from outside. So atleast the money goes in the investors hand.

Another example. If one investor knows how to write one line which other investors doesn't know. Then that investor can do it. If he wishes to do it.

If he doesn't wishes to do it then we can find a person - a freelancer who can do it for us.

But if the investor is good at something and is talented then why to try out a freelancer we don't even know. Why not the investor handle it himself. He can charge the money as per the market rates. If his time is more costly then everyone's time would be costly. Because If we as a group will start comparing that his time is costly and others time is cheap then it will land us no where. All investors time will be costly. It is just that if he wants to do some good for the group then he should come forward with his talent and take on the responsibility himself. If he doesn't takes it then freelancer is the only way. And if freelancer work is not a quality work then not one but all the investors are at loss.

My main interest here is not the money. Invested money I can bring it out 5 times then the initial investment within 2 hours of time. [I know some people will not believe this but... it's so so....]

My interest is to start something. We could have started with even donating one useless domain name each. And I could have sold it and brought the money and could have brought new domains and would have collected enough money to buy us premium domains and development with guys to work for us. But if this was to be done then no one would be serious about it.

I am not telling that we should be lenient we should be a ruthless businessman and investors should protect their investments. Plus talking about a ruthless businessman if I could have raised the initial deposit then I would have done this all myself. It is also not that I want to make profit and I don't have money to invest. I have it. It is just that if we do this small scale this could develop into something unexpected in future and can allow us to trust each other much more then we do right now.
