Will offering $50,000 motivate someone to market for me?

    I'm posting messages around adult webmaster boards offering up to $50,000(10% per $100,000 in sales) to one person who can drive enough traffic to my pixel ad site to help fill it up. I originally wanted to give away the money to a random advertiser once the space was filled(similar to pixelotto), but I don't want to deal with the legal issues involved in interstate cash giveaways like that. I can handle a simple contract with one person, though. Anyway, does anyone think this will work? Or do you have any better ideas?

    If you can promise the 50k within a year I would go for it but seems like many websites would love for someone to take 10 percent of the cash and have them do all the work

    That's why I'm looking for people with established sites and traffic; so there's very little work involved for them. :)

    I think this pixel thing can be done again but not with this kind of style

    Maybe come up with a concept that wasn't done well over a year ago...

    Your site offers nothing that the original pixel site (or any of the thousand clones) didn't have....

    Offer a guarantee..no one is onboard as the previous post said with tired old ideas, to work and hand over traffic for commission (money that will likely never see there hands)
    .....how about thinking of something N E W....?

    So if any of you had an established website or network of websites, you would reject $50,000 for a few minutes worth of work?

    I have worked in sales previously doing freelance marketing work for Circuit City and Sony and have put together a sales team to put into select market and do sample sales to companies over the phone of new products not yet out. And my marketing company is very established and had a lot of traffic to our website. Driving traffic and making sales is a completely different thing. So from what you are saying about "established websites" is that you want them to give you free advertising in return for 10% of sales? I think you might have a little competition from the hundreds of VERY established companies already offering this, it is called AFFILIATE MARKETING. If you think you will make well over 100k in sales then look into something such as commission junction. But they do not allow adult related material and many good internet marketers who could make 100k in sales wont touch the adult side of things. And last but not least the site has been done over and over again and is nothing new or a great invention so I doubt 100k in sales in a reasonable amount of time is a realistic goal. Better off if you are going to make 100k in sales to pay a company who does marketing to help sell for you and pay them monthly plus a commission.

    If you had an established website and could drive enough traffic to get one of these filled, then you could get the free pixel script and pay 8 dollars on a domain and keep the rest.

    I still haven't seen where adult pixel ads have been done to death. I know pixel ads is nothing new, but there aren't many sites that I've seen offering it for adult sites. This list comes up in Google and the majority of the links are dead and gone. I'm also familiar with affiliate marketing, but I know there are webmasters out there who know a good deal when they see it and who will work with me. I also upped the offer to 50/50 partnership to whoever takes me up on this. That's $250,000 for promotion and driving quality, converting traffic to an established site. I know there's someone out there who could use a small chunk of change like that.

    You're basically asking someone to do almost all the work for 10% of the money. It sounds to me like most folks here are saying that if they were going to do something like that, they'd start their own site and keep all of the money instead.

    EDIT: I didn't see the post above me where the offer was upped. Still...

    Still I am not trying to nag but it just doesn't make any sense. I have an offer anyone want to make me a 1,000,000 and you can keep 10% of it if you make me a million. Any offers?

    It's true what many are saying here. If there is someone who has the skills to provide this for you they would simply do it for themselves.

    Big profit people mostly do not "hook up" others.

    Instead of saying "I'll give you $50,000 it would be a better plan to just hire someone for $1,000 a month to be an employee and get him/her to do all the things you need to become something of that power. If you don't really know how, I wouldn't bother because you probably won't be able to control or keep it.

    You may want to reconsider your payout percentage, 10% is peanuts - don't think you will get many takers.

    50k off the bat and I would have jumped on it if it was 50k per year non exclusive agreement but what he is saying is he will give you 10% of sales he gets.
