    Exactly what are you wanting? Someone to build and develop the site, but keep only the click rev while you get to sell the site later and keep the income from the sale?

    Does not sound like a very good deal for the person developing. Am I missing something?

    You offer a domain name: Costs no more than 10 bucks
    You offer hosting: Maybe 10 bucks a month
    PHPLD: It is free. Their is a paid version, but it only costs 25 bucks.


    Why would anybody want to put in a huge amount of work to build up this site for you when anyone could spend less than 50 bucks on the above for their very own website.

    So you get to sell a site that you've maybe spent 50 dollars setting up, probably for a few hundred.

    And I would get maybe 10 bucks from adsense for the countless hours I would spend maintaining the directory.

    Does anyone else see a problem here other than me?

    This offer sounds awfully familiar. I think I seen something like this on another board and it was rejected through and through. There is no real advantage for the one who manage and grow the site.

    Of course, if you offer 50% of the sales proceeds from the sale of the site, it might be better.

    Alternatively, you could either develop the site on your own, pay someone to develop it for you or sell it outright to someone else who could grow the site with the option to buy back the site at the agreed price at that point of time.

    When you make such an offer, you need to be able to give the one helping you some credits and if they are doing the majority of the work, they should be given the majority of the income. You can't make money without doing any work.

    Yeah, something like this was on another forum thread and it went nowhere!
    Like, why would someone do this?
    When they can register a domain, get the script, get hosting, etc.
    For around 40 bucks!

    And build it up themselves to sell and keep ALL the money.

    Bad business proposition, but some poor noob will think this is the greatest offer ever seen on the net!

    If you've ever owned a directory, you know that they are TERRIBLE fo adsense. No one clicks on ads. People come their specifically to submit sites. Nothing else. If you can't at least offer the guy doing the work a good portion of the link sales, no one will help you.


    Then why are trying to get someone to develop yours then? Is this directory accepting free or paid submissions? Free would equal MEGA work. Paid, not so much. Is this a general directory or a small niche? General equals WORK. Niche, not so much.

    Also, who's going to promote this site. Someone has to get visitors and potential buyers coming in. Would that be you or the poor fool working for pennies from adsense?

    I like how he keeps saying "WE" can work on link sales or "WE" promote.

    LOL, so not only will his "Sucker" get the task of building and developing the site, they also get to help promote it.

    Again, the question is this. Why would anyone in their right mind take this offer, when they could build and develop one of their own for about $40 and keep ALL of the revenue?

    I dont think anyone is trying to trash your thread, but you should explain what the advantages are for someone to take this offer.

    I can understand the time problem.
    I can understand getting someone to do this work.
    What I can not understand yet is why you have yet to really let everyone know the exact work and promotion to be done, at whose expense, and how much money you will pay minimum to start and to cover the fact that as pointed out, not too much money in adsense for directories.

    Plus anyone who wants a directory and is too lazy to build one up by getting a domain, script, etc can always find in this forum directories for sale cheap.

    Just my thoughts and I hope you find someone who can work with you and you can work with them.

    This sounds like a realy stupid idea only an idiot would take him up on the offer if you can call it that,what a waste of time.
    My advice do it yourself.

    when i was reading this thread, i thought these guys were just trying to give you a hard time until i read this post. my understanding of this post is:

    "yea, yea, yea... i know it's not fair, but heck, no harm asking... some uninformed sucker may just take it up..."

    this is bad...

    First, it was not a stupid offer.
    Secondly, it was not a waste of time.
    He really wanted someone to do this.
    His problem was in the way he presented it.
    There is a value to this business model if done right.
    One of our son's does this for a nice income, building sites for companies, running the sites, hosting the sites, etc.
    All for a predetermined fee upfront, monthly, and a closure fee when the company wants to take over full operation or get someone else to run the site.

    If a person has time, knows what they are doing, this is a good business.
    It is just that most of the people on this forum are in a way marketers and wish to do it all themselves.

    Well my friends,

    See it might be a hours of work for me (because I have no experince in directory builidng) but could be 2 hr job for some one who is experinced,
    I have to start from scratch and the other person(who willbe accepting this offer) will be experinced so it will be easy for him...

    2: I thought I had good domain whcih can be used for nice directory( if some one can think of) so thats y I had this offer but looks like no body is intrested... :-(
