Partners' develop a plan.

If I pushed my plan on anyone that would make them employees.
Translation: "I have no plan"

If I had a plan why would I be looking for partners?

I would have posted, "I have a plan, make money and do nothing because I have already done the work".

I have already put over $30k into the project....all without a plan.

Uh huh. :p

You've pissed away $30k on some project you have no Business Plan for and now you're looking for a business partner to do the work for you?

I hope you're not expecting people to take you seriously. Because no businessman will take you seriously without a Business and Marketing Plan.


That's where you're wrong.

Are you planning on supporting your position with information any time soon?

Oh, and when is this pyramid scheming fvck gonna get banned?

You do realize planning and executing a plan are to different steps, right? You can't just make a plan and expect it to suddenly come to fruition.

Please link me to the post where I thought successful businesses developed themselves. I certainly meant to say the opposite. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I've got a plan to compete with google. It requires buying up: google.net gooogle.com goggle.com googlle.com googl.com and other such domains and having them all mirror to a page that looks almost identical to google, except with an extra o. But when people hit search it prompts them to sign up as a member for a 1 time fee of 19.95. I figure people will realize how much they rely on google and sign up and bam FREE MONEY, then it just sends their search back to the real google website!

BRILLIANT!

sounds like you just wanna find some innovative and smart people and ride off their idea without having to contribute anything of your own...

just my .02

Google does more than search.

Google search? saturated
Google map? saturated
Google mail? way beyond saturated
Google shopping? you have no competitive advantage here
Google news? you have no competitive advantage here
Google wireless? you have no competitive advantage here

1) Yes. You can't possibly compete with ANY mainstream tech. company as a one man operation.

2) Having a plan and doing the work for the plan are two seperate concepts. See item 1 for why we would expect you to have a plan but not have done the work.

3) I call shens. If this is true, then you are either a moron, or your concept of putting money into a project is opening a bank account and putting money in there.

Here's what we see. A blind man trying to get people to join his journey. If you don't have an idea now, then it's not worth anyone's time to just form a group to sit around and think about one. If I do come up with some awesome idea that could tackle google, I would hoard it until I have the means to make fat cash off of it. If it's my idea, I'm not going to share the wealth just because you want me to be part of a group of people that didn't contribute squat to it.

Get a plan or get lost.


1. Don't forget to tell Craigslist that they can't compete.

2. Doesn't make sense.

3. ok

If you hoard your incredible idea too long someone will come along and beat you to the punch...the group I am trying to assemble is that 'someone.'


1) They can't. Craigslist is far from a highly lucrative operation. The money they make can probably pay their server bills and pay their monthly car payment, but if you think craigslist is a competitor in ANYTHING, you're more of an idiot than this entire thread can confirm. Have you noticed that craigslist only gets money when someone wants to put up a job listing or when someone buys their swag? Yeah, not the big bucks... and for the record, if they WERE making big money, maybe they should hire someone to make the site look like more than a piece of crap from 1997.

2) It makes perfect sense. It just doesn't make sense to you because you have no concept of business. How old are you, 18... 19? Can you even walk into a bar? You'd fit in great if this were 1999 and the dotcom boom was happening, but unfortunately for you, people got smart since then.

3) Okay, so you spent 30,000 on domain names that may or may not fit into the plan's image? I think this does enough in saying that you don't have a CLUE what you are trying to get in to.

Dibs on Casting Director

This is a pr0n business right?

I'm straight, so the Casting Assistant position is still open for picking the dudes. Equal opportunity M/F.
