    Hi..

    I have an idea for a website which I believe will be big, and could earn a lot of money. Right now, I need a coder to help me code the site and get it up and running, BUT, I don't have substantial funds to pay up straight away..
    I'm looking to either:

    A) Offer a % of total profits from website.. or/
    B) Pay back once I have the money (Though there's the risk I may never earn the money back, though i'll happily pay interest on the total price this could be risky)

    If you're still interested, read on.

    I need a coder who is very good at:
    HTML, CSS, PHP etc.

    As i'm not a coder, I can't assess how difficult I think this job will be.. I imagine it shouldn't be extremely difficult, but like I said, i'm not a coder.

    If you're interested and would like to hear more information, feel free to send me a PM, post here or add me on msn :
    fuzzy91 (at) googlemail (dot) com

    Thanks,

    -nmx

    No, I can't offer it in a contract, all I can give you is my word. I have never and never will scam anyone, whether or not you trust me enough to give me benefit of the doubt is up to you.

    Thanks,

    Well the inital work is just for the coding of the site, setting it up etc. Once that's done, I'd like to keep the coder involved if they desire, especially if they plan on taking a % share of the total profit.
    My current plans though are just for the inital site, I don't know what work will follow that as I'll have to wait and see how it all works out.

    Are you interested in this project? If yes, what level of commitment would you prefer?

    If anyone has any questions, please do ask, i'll do my best to answer.

    Thanks,

    I never said you could, and I don't expect people too, that's life. But like I said, all I can give is my word, what that means to you is upto you.

    Are you interested in the job or just curious?

    Ok I think someone misunderstood my last post because I received an infraction and it was deleted.

    What I meant was that I would be willing to code for you if you could provide me with some information on your internet marketing experience. I want to know what I am getting into before I make an obligation. Time is money and I just want to know what the chances are of this website being successful.

    Hey there! Sorry for the late reply.

    In truth, It's fair that to say that I'm no marketing Guru, but I've had experience with web mastering, I've run several websites and a forum, none of which I'm still running. None have ever been huge, most were relatively personal websites.. But I do believe, they were all generic and providing in an already saturated area.. Where as, this idea in MY opinion is unique, and carries great potential, which is a good reason why I believe it'll succeed.

    And yes, time is money, and I can see exactly where you're coming from. ( I can see what a risk this could be to someone with the gamble that this could be.) Personally, I think this website could be very big, and I think the uniqueness of the idea means that there wouldn't be a huge amount of marketing required, as the idea, I believe should take off by itself quite substantially. Obviously I can't give any figures on the chances, but like i've said I think there's a VERY good chance this could succeed and pay it's way.

    As I have such high hopes in the idea and the website, I do believe if it does work, having a % in the total profits will equate to a greater amount than what one would earn from charging a straight up fee.. Though of course there's no guarantee that it will turn out this way.

    Thanks for your interest, if you would like to talk further, or have any questions feel free to add me on msn:
