Calling all teen enreprenurs....

I had an idea for some new teen entrepreneurs:

As I have been looking through this forum, many new members don't have enough capital to invest into a website, design, ect.

But now here is your chance....

I will buy you a domain and install wordpress to it, and all you have to do is write, and you get 50% of all advertising. When you decide that you are ready to start out on your own: you have an option to buy the domain from me or get 50% of the sale.


email me rob.rawls@gmail.com if interested.

Will you actually create a solid looking website or simply just 'install wordpress' ?

rob, do this properly

what you're trying to set up is called a blog network

you have a great opportunity to launch a teens specific blog network

1: install wordpress MU, and then start recruiting bloggers....they'll be able to go to your site, click a few buttons and have a blog ready to go

use this to set up a blog for every high school in the country, starting with your local state

you can create a lot of value for teens who want to read about their and other high schools

think of it as a site that lists all of unofficial American high school newspapers

every blog is gonna have heaps of gossip about individual schools and is gonna get read by everybody who studies there. it's gonna be great. plus, you can have rankings for every high school on a range of criteria like student life, number of teachers per student, "coolness" factor, SAT results and so on. you can then collect this information, put in in a report and sell it to parents who struggle very much in finding the best schools for their children.

2: use this platform to launch other projects, like a community site for people who are taking their SATs modeled on http://www.boredofstudies.org/

stop being vague, do the MU installation and direct people to a live site to get better recruitment results

I want to see stellar performance from you. Stop doing mediocre pitches.

are we on the same page?

sound good if your really young and have no money, for young entrepreneurs ages about 13-15 but its very unfair on them, you buy the domain which is all in your name, and in a few years when they have done all the advertising and writing etc, you will pocket the money from the domain, which could be a few thousand.

And if i was young enough i would just go here
www.eclipse.net.uk/ (free .com domains)

wordpress is free, and you can pick up some free hosting also.

Kind of puts you out of business rob.

Thanks for your feedback. After talking with some people, I have decided not to pursue this idea.


Thats one good thing about this site; You can throw out every idea that you think of, and get feedback without (much) criticism.
