Is This Something You Might Be Interested In?

Hello Folks

I have Martin's permission to post this first of all! lol

I'll try and keep it as simple as I can. I have a website (which I'm not allowed to post, I know) that focuses on getting adverts from local businesses, local tradesmen, people starting their own business, classified, dating ads etc. The idea is to keep it as simple as possible, so instead of having a search engine, I have a page of Regions. All you do is find the area where you live and if it's highlighted, this means that there are already adverts in that area for you to view. If your area isn't highlighted, it means I've not received any adverts for there yet. - hope you're following this so far! lol. Then I have a page of categories, ie hairdressers, butchers, cars for sale, property for sale, rent etc, everything that I can think of really!

Now for the good part. I plan to donate 70% of each advert to charity, 20% to people who help me promote the site and get the adverts for it, and 10% will be used for the upkeep and maintenance, advertising, all the things that go with running a website. The people who pay to place the adverts can nominate the charity if they so wish.

The people who would be helping me promote the website would be self employed. They could either email businesses, or phone them or pop in and have a face to face chat while they're out shopping. Or perhaps they might have friends and relative who have their own businesses and who would maybe place adverts?

I thought it would be good for Mums or pensioners or anyone really who enjoyed chatting to people and who wanted to try and make themselves some extra money.

Now I've given you the basics, would you please let me have some feedback, positive and negative!

Thankyou

Sally

  • I could be interested in advertising, I've got 2 on-line shops & looking to open a 3rd shortly. I've spent a fair bit on advertising lately so I'm on a budget so it depends how much you charge. I'd also perhaps offer 10% discount to anyone who buys from my site via your site? Give me a PM & I'll send you my email address to send details to :-)

    Thanks
