BrainBank

Submitted on 2/18/2009 8:32:54 AM by t

BrainBank - help bloggers & educators turn their content into something they can reap rewards from (something either than AdSense.) Version 1 is done and live at http://www.brainbankhq.com. First client: http://gp.brainbankhq.com Revenue Source: Bloggers, companies who want to attract quality prospects & people who want to build a subscription-based members-only websites. Three price-points: $24/mo, $49/mo & $149/mo Cash-Flow Break Even: Without Founder (aka CEO & programmer) salary $250/month …so I should be there within a couple weeks. Profitable within 90 days: Might take longer… probably 180 days. There is a lot of optimization to do based on numbers and getting things flowing faster will require wasting more money than necessary. This is based on future expenses such as access to a strong developer advice & guidance by developers I’ve already been consulting with from time to time (http://www.actionrails.com). Everyone must work: My plan is to work as little as possible. That’s why everything is aimed to be automated, except for customer service. This won’t be the next Google but it will provide a solid income stream for relatively low maintenance cost. Business Plan is simple. Offer a product that lets people create online training courses that can be used to attract potential customers or generate revenue. And charge money. And make things simple. Product is about 50% of what I want it to be. Next 3 months will get it to 80%. Investment: None needed for now. Most of the expenses for now are hosting and credit card merchant account fees. It’s a little short-sighted. I know. Once I hit $1k/mo, I’m going to use that to drive further development.

Open Source Funding

Submitted on 2/17/2009 2:17:25 PM by pj

We could repackage this website as a SaaS product that investors could use to communicate with startups, create filters on the startups. It'd be free for startups, because they don't have any money, but Investors would have to pay. The money from the investors who pay for the site could flow into hosting, maintenance, and functionality that will help startups collaborate and improve the business behind the plan. The funds would pay for commercialization of what you see here.

This is NOT about selling advertising, it's about creating the space to do so. Concurrently will offer to advertising companies for revenue-generating use in parking garages and stadiums- this may create a necessitate the creation of a secondary company to install and maintain, however it is not the focus.
