    I'm looking for an investor or investors.

    Somebody willing to pay for advertising and other business expenses.

    Return would be a percentage of profits for a pre-determined amount of time.

    Anyone who is interested can PM me to discuss further details or make offers.

    Would be investing in a wireless consultation service, links are in my signature.

    Thank You

    PM with more facts on what you are doing and how much investment you will need. Perhaps get some more feedback and post count before you ask for investment money also....

    With all due respect, what would my post count have to do with investment potential?

    Everything I want to accomlish is outlined through my web site.

    Any capital aquired through investor would be used toward internet advertising, collateral and business expenses.

    Looking for an investment of cash or advertising equivalent of at least $1000 with return on investment based on a percentage of yearly net profits for one year or predetermined fixed amount, in addition to initial investment.

    Percentage based ROI is determined by net profit of any one (1) fiscal year, up to 48 months after the initial investment for any one (1) fiscal year decided by the investor. This would allow the investor the option of choosing ROI based on the top performing fiscal year. However the ROI must be allocated to the investor by the end of the fiscal year ending the 48th month.

    Investment of cash will be more highly regarded.

    Its about trust. People feel they can trust you more if you have been here longer and have better feedback. Its not about your idea being worthwhile its about people's fear of you skipping off with therr money. Not saying its right or wrong but on these and most forums thats how it is.

    Exactly.

    You'll also probably get a better response if you mention what YOU bring to the table. It's good and fine to ask for money, but no one is going to give it to you if you don't list what you can do with it, specifically.

    like for example me, i have a decent post count but iv pissed a few people off here at DP over time :cool: and were your getting investment and stuff, make sure you keep in good contact with the investor and let them know everything you've done and are planning on doing, never leave them in the dark about anything. just a bit of advice

    I'm not saying this to be mean and perhaps I'm 100% wrong, but you're looking for $1,000, which is ridiculously easy to obtain.

    As a potential investor, this tells me that you lack the drive, ability and knowledge required to be productive. Even the best ideas will fail when in the hands of the wrong people.

    Look, back when I was a young adult, I could come up with $1,000+ for a business venture with a little elbow grease. I'm sure you, at whatever age you are, can do the same. If it were $15,000 or so, maybe, but $1,000?

    Get a job. If you have one, get another. Think about it. If you take home just $300 weekly, you have your $1,000 inside of a month. You won't have any investors to think about and you're business will be free and clear. Pretty simple.

    Maybe I'm just old school, but that's what this investment plea says to me.

    If you base whether to invest with a company on their post count in a forum you are going to be disappointed in the long run...lol
