A post in an online forum seeking a business partner, open to any and every hoodlum around....not exactly the model of good business practice.
You dont have An innovative idea, capital, or anything a few dollars can't buy
You do have A pirated version of some graphics program which allows you to feel that you have something more than grade-school design ability.
Hate to be an asshole, but scrap the idea. I have $30K+ in startup capital and I'm still not comfortable opening my own site. Think about it.
freeoffersnow, this is the second time you have assumed things. why do you think i have pirated software.. and why do u think i dont have an innovative idea
FreeOffersNow 30k in capital, I say, once you have the right product (or line of product) just do it. I believe this could be enough to build a new company that can play with the 'big ones'. It's certainly enough to make some profit.
mod please, don't delete the thread, just change the title so that maybe we can have a conversation on this theme

I'm entitled to my opinion, and I post it freely on these forums. Whether or not my opinion offends you or someone else doesn't weigh too heavily here...your post was an open invitation for criticism, think about it. How many people do you know whom are interested in launching a business endeavor with a complete stranger who has nothing to offer but their existence as a partner? Obviously no one, because you're posting here. Good luck finding a cash cow.

The thought has crossed my mind more than a few times, but I've definitely got to put much more thought into a strong business plan before I take any decisive action. My primary concern is that of sponsor interest, that is, sponsors are losing interest in being affiliated with free offer sites. As many of us know, several sponsors have already established policy against such affiliation. Since this response is primarily directed toward you (l0th), I'm not going to go into explaining a concept I know you already understand. As far as which gift(s) to offer, I agree with in the thought that the right product/product line is very important. Additionally, I'm a college student and our spring semester kicks off tomorrow so I wouldn't be able to devote the necessary amount of time to run a successful enterprise (I know support is a HUGE problem with these sites, mainly due to the volume of inquiries/complaints vs support personnel). Besides that, I'd most certainly be looking for a competent and devoted partner who could share in the initial investment D
