New Start-UP E-Business: Need associates/ possibly investors

    I have many, many ideas stored on my notepad regarding potentially successfull business's, yet most of them require a substantial amount of start-up money and right now I cannot provide that. So instead im going to let those ideas sit on the backburner until I can provide the start-up money myself.
    Right now I am looking to start up an e-business with one, or preferrably more, people. I want to work in various branches, all involving non-practical skills (i.e: programming), such as Sales, Advertising, Outsourcing, Consulting, and more. For this start-up company I will need a few equally creative and intelligent associates to get this rolling.

    The appealing thing about this project is that there is no monetary investment of the associates part, this company will initially not need a virtual infrastructure (website etc.) or advertising, other than our own efforts. I instead just need motivated people that want to work on creating a successfull business.

    There are no skills/experience required, although I would prefer if you have had some experience working on internet related stuff such as the following:

    • Sales
    • Advertising
    • SEO
    • Hosting
    • Consulting
    • Web Development
    • Article Writing
    • Web Design/Coding

    Even If you do not have experience with any of the above, at least give me some idea of what you have done online.

    One thing that is necessary for me to address, though, is that you will not be a partner in this startup, rather an associate. Partnerships share ownership of the company and profits and often end up with messy results and disputes. An Associate does not share ownership of the company and can be fired for lack of effort, but does share a profit in the company and will have a say in decision making and generating new ideas/brainstorming. Contracts will be written up with all the necessary details.

    I am currently working on a more detailed business plan, but before I will go further I would like to get a few interested applicants for this new startup.

    P.S:

    If you are interested in my past experience I have been flipping sites and domains for 3 years (on and off) and I have had load of experience in the article writing industry. I also spent some time outsourcing work, making a comission in the middle.

    I think I have a more solid Idea of what niche I would like to start this business in, and all of the above still applies. I can give more details to those interested.
