ok I have an idea for a website and I was wondering if anyone that would be willing to build it could throw out bids. Here is what I am looking for: A website where anyone can go and basically buy a spot for their picture. The size will be about the standard size of a myspace pic. they will be sorted in an album. Lets say 5 or 6 across and about 15 - 20 down. So we are basically looking at a site that has a nice header with the content resembling a year book Execpt these people will be paying to have their picture listed. Payments are in increments of $1.00 they choose what they want to pay. But they are sorted from the person who pays the most to the person who pays the least. They can be pictures of youself or your business logo or whatever. They will also link the the site of your choice. and under each pic it will list how much you paid. So if I want your spot. I know how much I have to pay. Thats the main idea. so a shopping cart would be required and they would fill out a form... Name, address, company name... etc Then the upload their image just like on myspace and it gets posted in the alum. Then there would be about us page, home page, contact us page.. etc. Please email me with questions if you have any. Jeremy Ferguson
And how will you drive traffic to the site? With traditional PR hits in the news like milliondollarhomepage did? I'm wondering what would ensure that the users got some return on their investment. Or maybe this site integrates with another site? Well, I would give you a quote but I have gotten too used to doing sites in return for a high percentage of equity I also am interested in the current market cost of projects like these. Some of my friends have been asking me to make them sites also but I just don't have the time so it would be nice to be able to tell them how much to expect to pay someone else to make it.
Well there is going to be a certain twist to the site that will start a snowball of traffic.... Hopefully! Or maybe there is a script out there i can buy and modify it somehow... I am trying to keep cost low obviously but if the site takes off maybe I can spuce it up a notch or two... or 3 How did milliondollarhomepage even get to the news? Thats what I wanna know. That seems like the way to get any site to take off
Through a process of convincing news outlets to write about him. That process can take any number of forms, pr firms, talking to the right people, I'm still exploring that aspect of marketing myself.
Hah, the idea wasn't THAT amazing. It most definitely wasn't word of mouth that gave it that kind of traffic.
I think this type of sites will not be successfull today... The main question is - where would you get traffic? Why should I buy a picture on your site when nobody visits it? If you want to sell something, you need traffic first.
well thats what is going to make this site interesting. There is going to be somthing ridiculous offered to the members which should start a craze to sign up and wanting to be on top when he traffic comes in will be a fight, so I am hoping people will start a bidding war to get there.
Have a look through the link sales area. There are a few options like this, including some where the person who is out bid gets a share of the revenue.
Well I dont want to really give away the concept, but lets just say there is a chance of a huge benefit if you purchase and advertisement. Once people start talking about the idea people will go crazy.
