    I guess that daily free postcode lottery site is sort of the thing you are talking about, daily prize of £50 rolling over, and appears to be doing well from adverts.

    freepostcodelottery.com

    I'd suggest starting a blog too, see how that goes. As your blog grows you can then look at branching out and turning it in to something more than just a blog. You don't want to put loads of time and money in to something that may not pan out. A blog can be free or won't cost you much... I think its a good starting point :O)

    thanks for all the advise..i am inspired by the chap who invented the freepostcodelottery, as he seems to be doing really well. you are right i need a unique selling point, daily prize draws for smaller amounts perhaps...

    I have no useful advise to give you, I know nothing about business, but just wanted to say I hope it works & you come back to this thread in a years time letting us know

    What is this? A contest for stupid? The word you are both looking for is ADVICE. As has been previously pointed out to you.

    Come on lighten up - the lass made a simple typo - most of us do when typing fast! Give her a break! :eek: You had a pop at me on another thread - get a glass of wine down your throat and chill man!

    So true! I often have to edit my posts because when I read them back to myself I realise I have made a mistake or two. We are all human and we all do it! If I was to pull up every person I see make a typo on here I would never get anything else done!
