Someone here RICH ENOUGH to THROW AWAY $20k ?
 

I'm just wondering do we have a registered user who is rich enough that he could easily throw away $20k and don't feel bad about it? :pimp

Now, the crazy data about throwing away money (in USA):

$6 billion in unused gift cards each year
$7 billion in ATM fees each year
$12 billion in traffic tickets each year
$29 billion on candy each year
$31 billion on lottery tickets each year
$44 billion on tobacco each year
$50 billion on alcohol each year
$49 billion on credit card interest each year
$69 billion at the casinos each year
$76 billion on soda each year
$146 billion in wasted energy each year
$165 billion in wasted food each year

(source: http://www.businessinsider.com/bigge...rs-2012-9?op=1)

Sum it up and you get $684 billion. Since we couldn't possibly count alcohol in wasted money, you threw away $634 billion!

Now, since $634 billion is a huge market (and that is only in US), I'm wondering do we have that hardcore crazy guy who could easily throw away $20k registered on this forum? :angel

Dear businessmen of GFY,

I'm looking for someone who is willing to invest in my business. My idea is to develop a new type of social network for web and mobile environment. Thing is that I don't want to share my idea before it's developed and fully operational, you probably got the hint why. That's why I need $20k for first round of funding and I'm willing to give you 10% company share (company registered in Belgrade, Serbia). Also you'll get a banner (non-adult link) on all internal pages of website until I pay you back your invested money. When company earn enough, we'll return you 100% of your investment, put down your banner, and you'll have you're 10% share which you could sell us back or keep. I think this could be huge, not Facebook-huge of course, but Instagram-huge :P, and since I don't have any cards to throw on the table, I'm asking you guys to throw away your money on me, I certainly won't scam you :pimp

I'm willing to answer your questions, but I won't reveal too much. ;)

Every successful GFY thread about fucking around and business must deliver someTITS:

PS. Where do you waste most of your wasted money?

You are willing to sell 10% of nothing for $20,000.00?

EdgePro :2 cents:

Ban thread

I will play Mega today and Power tomorrow.

you're odds of winning, even at 1:500,000,000 are better ;)

Exactly :pimp
And yes, that's throwing away money :D

Why? Just cause you don't have enough money to throw away, doesn't mean others don't :P

I clearly do not think that this thread should actually be banned. Pretty obviously a joke, bro.

I always feel like a total dope at the casino. Atm fees and interest are also a personal no no.

If I had a dollar for every time I saw someone fail at starting a new social network...

Every year a few people come to GFY begging for money for some worthless idea. If your idea is so good then why don't you borrow the money using legitimate means ? Surely that would be a wise course to follow ?

I wish you best luck winning your $13 and $290 million! :thumbsup

That's the funny thing about money -- the rich don't get rich by throwing it away. :winkwink:

Ok so I am going to start a social network where people post what leftover food and unused giftcards they have to exchange

Please send me $20k for 10%

I think this thread can be considered walking on the edge of forum rules, but GFY put up with much bigger bullshit, so I think it's good for now.

Did you considered other ways to waste your money? :D

First of all, I'm not begging, I'm looking for an investor :pimp
Second thing, I don't own any real estate, so I can't get a loan.
Third, yes, it could fail. I can't guarantee you a huge success (or any success), but I can guarantee you that I'll do my best to achieve my vision when such a good opportunity presented itself to me. :thumbsup

You asking on wrong adress,here is correct adress:

First, nobody is gonna invest in this without knowing any details. Second. No.

:pimp I asked it first, so stand in queue. Plus, I think my idea is slightly better, but that's just my subjective opinion.

It's hard to get any angel investment if you at least don't have a working prototype.
But, don't think that GFY will be the only door I'll knock on :winkwink:

How many people do you expect to use this social network in the first, second and third months it is running ?

$20.000 for the first round of investment...

So that's for buying the domain, getting the programmer out of bed and buying an ad in the local newspaper for a year...

I'll wait for the final round of investment....

I am a registred user, and i could sell my wife for $20k, throw the money away on beer, whiskey and east european hookers (18-24 yrs blondes thanks) and i would'nt feel bad at all. :)

1st. It's impossible to be hit by lightning on seven different occasions and survive all of them.
2nd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan

I'm looking for investments on few other sides, but since this is the craziest business place online, I wrote a crazy proposition. Why not?

This is an unique concept, not competing with any of current social networks, it has some similarities with some which already exists, but with other options. I see it as upgrade for current web, since i plan to integrate it with fb, twitter, tumblr, instagram (maybe) and g+. Concept connects global and local content and everything uploaded will be 100% legal with rights.

Good, business question. After time needed to develop (something around 2 months), 100-200-500. After 3 months paid online advertising campaigns would start. Numbers 100-200-500 are users who will be testers. If script and servers work good in this 3 months time, some forms of smaller advertising would be injected earlier. I think it's necessary to test the app and servers good, since script will be written from scratch and investing money in "Server not found" traffic would be absurd.

Looking at your posting history I would imagine that you need to find a fool to part with his money, because that's about the only chance you have.

So true, did you get paid what was owed? I remember you won an IPad which is useful :thumbsup

Most people looking for investors start with a business plan... :pimp

He's got one.

Step One: Get $20k
Step Two: ......
Step Three: Profit

I think I can make first version of this operational with this money, plus something for ads.

Few months ago, I would do the same :) Now, I have different plans :D

I didn't say that I'm successful adult webmaster or anything, at that case I would probably have much more than 20k to invest in my shit. I'm 24 years old and I'm registered here since 2006 because this is a place "where industry meets" and you can learn a lot from these pages (if you dig deep). And I did, not only from here, but from tons of other online places.

I do not understand that negative tone you're sending to me, since I don't want to scam anyone. See the topic title. :*

Show us something you have already built.

What experience do you have to manage this project ?

a rich idea:2 cents:

Thank you for the intel. Will be glad to read these in near future.

I absolutely agree with you. But how to make a business plan without describing the product itself. Describing the product would be throwing away the idea to the internet masses. And making a business plan with some data from web about growth of social networks is bullshit to you guys, since you already know much of it. Business plan will be made for second round of funding for witch I'll be glad to invite the GFY community.

Step two: building web interface and mobile apps, getting the new users, implementing 3 ways for earning.

I have no experience in developing a big social media project like this.
Thats why I'm comparing chance for getting the money here with 7 thunderstruck, and looking for someone who is willing to throw away money :D

step 1 = step 3

I wouldn't consider buying alcohol to be 'throwing money away'

how can i get a hand on some of that money? :)

Article said so, I've distanced myself already :pimp
Do you have some knowledge and experience in php, rails, databases, some language to program Android and iOS apps, fb api, twitter api, google maps integration... ? :)

The $38,000 from GFY, the $60,000 from Playboy, or the $100k or so from the pirate? None of them were paid, and they're not worth pursuing .. too old at this point to do so anyway.

As far as the iPad, it's in the same place my GFY t-shirt probably is -- sitting in the closet at GFY headquarters, waiting to (never) be sent. :thumbsup

I don't consider ATM fees throwing away money. I consider it almost magic that no matter where I am, no matter what time of day or night, I can instantly get hundreds of dollars for just a few bucks.

Reminds me of JoesHo

Who is JoesHo?

better make a plan how to get 1$ from 20.000 people and you will have to start your biz :)
