I'm new to WickedFire but have heard a lot of good things from other members who's blogs I follow. I'm active on DP, NamePros, 6pins and YGG if anyone participates on those sites. But I'll get straight to the point.

I have built up a good domain name portfolio and want to develop some key domains into to valuable sites.

Preferably I'm looking for someone who is capable of design, code and seo. If you have experience monetizing websites that is a serious plus.

I'm looking to split profits with the developer of the sites.

Here are a few examples of domains I own:

angermanagementclinic.com
angermanagmentcounselor.com

discountfireworks.net
bestdslmodem.com

foreignlanguagetutor.com
lowdebtpayments.com

naturalfooddiet.com
narcoticstreatment.com

I have dozens more. If anyone is interested in partnering with me on these sites just contact me via email.

aaron @ blackrockideas.com (no spaces)

Shoot me an email and tell me about yourself, skills (bow hunting skills are a plus) and any relevant experience.

I'm willing to consider anyone interested and possibly partner with multiple people. You don't have to have tons of experience as long as you have the basic skills, alot of motivation and free time.
 


So what are you bringing to the table in a partnership? If I were you, I would be selling that first. ;)
 
Welcome. Yes it seems as though you're asking someone to do all the work and you provide the domain for 50%. I don't think anyone worth warm piss would take this deal. Just my opinion. Put yourself in someone else's shoes suppose you knew seo, coding and design would you work for someone that had some domains for 50%? I'd consider something like that if the person owned a store (with good margins) and a domain that they wanted to put put online. Then I might consider a 50% of online profits. But DEFINATELY not just for someone that owns a domain. Unless it was something like sex.com.
 
So you hold on to the domain. I create a profitable website and then I risk you changing name servers and taking my files to your own place?

No. Take some money out and a hire a team of programmers from Elance to individually create the design and code for your website, pay another for content and SEO it yourself. Less headaches because people you partner with will generally turn into assholes later. Invest in yourself and you will see positive growth.
 
Welcome to WF. I'm sure you have good intentions but I have to agree with the others that you would need to bring more to the table than just a domain name portfolio unless they are one-word, three letter, or otherwise in great demand. Most of the people here probably have their own set of domains already. Plus anyone who is adept at web design, SEO, etc. can think up their own cool domain names. But don't let this discourage you, you can always learn to develop your own websites - find a nice template and take it from there. Or you can hire someone to help you develop your individual domains, it's not that expensive to hire a programmer these days :)

You totally said it better than I did. :p
 
It all boils down to I don't have the time to develop these domains. I have on and offline businesses that require my time. I'm not trying to screw anyone and am looking for someone who is serious and hopefully a long term partner on many projects. I am willing to sign an agreement with any and all partners. Also, I'm offering a 40%-60% split of profit. 60% for the developer.

Second, I will be offering support and help with SEO, content development, financial backing (if and when needed) and monetization optimization.

If anyone wants to check me out and talk to some references about me just ask. You can also checkout www.younggogetter.com and 6pins Forums - Powered by vBulletin and find out more about me. Feel free to ask around.

In any case thank you for the warm welcome and I hope share and learn a lot from all of you. If you have questions just ask.

If you want to call me my number is: 480-626-5180

1. Generic Type in traffic generates a lot of traffic for sites that are just parked. I want to apply good design, code and SEO to a site that is already receiving traffic to compound it's effectiveness.
2. I'm offering 40-60 profit share. I earn 40% the developer 60%. I believe that developing these sites will further increase the sites value so that I will make more money profit sharing than I would alone.
3. All partnerships will be done with a written agreement so that the developer assured their earnings.
4. I personally bring to the table: Valuable keyword domains with type in traffic. SEO knowledge, site development and monetization experience and teamwork.


Why I'm looking for a partner. I have other business ventures that require my time but I still want to pursue my online ventures. Because I can't personally commit a lot of time to each site I would prefer to partner with a developer.
 
Blackrock,

Here at WF you will meet two types of people.

Type A: Would take you up on your offer, but doesn't know how to do what you asked for.

Type B: Will not take you up on your offer, because you have to be pretty smart to design, code and seo, and they realize that all you're doing is going to godaddy and purchasing a domain, while they do all the work.


You do 5 minutes of total work, they do 99.9% of it.

In My best APU Voice: [SIZE=-1]"Thank You, Come Again" [/SIZE]


This plan may work if :
you agree to make all the investments
you look for 3 seperate partners. 1 for each skillset.
make sure your 3 partners never find out about each other. They never will if they never meet, unless you tell them.
give everyone 25% of the pie. You also get 25%. You guys make 100 grand in profits, you made $25,000 for buying a domain and being an organizer.
 
One suggestion (whether you want it or not). You're asking for smart people to do a bunch of work for you and no one knows who you are. I'd suggest contributing some good posts to the forum and building a reputation as someone would "want" to work with because you'd be bringing a lot to the table. Just my 2 cents.
 
Smaxor, I agree with both of your statements. However, it never hurts to presents an opportunity and see if anyone is interested.

I am sincerely interested in joining this community and not just being a one post chump. So hopefully I can get to know some of you and we can make some money together.

In the meantime I'll just keep posting and if someone wants to work with me just let me know.
 
As a fellow domainer that has too many good domains lying around, I can see where you are coming from - but you have to understand one thing: Unless you have a very high type-in traffic domain there is no value to this relationship for the developer doing all the gruntwork. If these developers will need to do great SEO, layout/design, and promotion to get people TO the site to make money why would they need your domain? They can register a similar domain, put all the effort into building THAT domain into a profitable site and then pocket 100% of the profits rather than giving up 40%. I'd personally never agree to partner with you on your domains with that type of arrangement unless your domains got 25-100K+ unique visitors a month from TYPE-IN traffic. And looking at those names.... they don't. This ploy may work at a forum with a lot of low networth types of individuals who are willing to work hard but have no money to invest in their own businesses but at WF you'll find that most people who can do what you want them to do don't need your domains. Sorry.
 
those domains aren't even good. I could see if you owned fireworks.com, narcotics.com, angermanagement.com - but certainly not discountfireworks.net, narcoticstreament.com and angermanagmentcounselor.com.

anyone could go on godaddy and find equivalent domains and purchase them themselves and build the site while keeping 100%.. and the fact that you completely left out you'd offer financial backing in the first post, (in the 2nd post you mention *if*) all just points to the idea that there seems to be an amount of reluctance on your part to really offer shit unless absolutely necessary.
 
Thanks guys, you've all really helped me a lot. I have quite a few domains and I thought of working with a group to make more money, but now I know a little better and how things work here.
 
*disclaimer - this is not directed at people personally, just at the actions*

This type of post pisses me off to no end. Screw all of you who think webmaster/designers are nothing but whores scrounging for your pennies. We put hours, days, weeks and months into learning how to do what we do and we do not need partners. Partner in the sense that the OP is proposing anyway.

That type of partner is cheap labor. What a fucking insult to the people who can put a sharp, usable, SEO'd website together. And it's supposed to make us drool because someone has a domain??? Fuck you. Like smaxor said...unless you have sex.com stop being a cheap ass and go pay for the services.

Partnerships, like marriage, usually means selling your soul and getting shit in return. Unless you bring a hell of a lot to the table designers/webmasters seriously spit on your offers. Save yourself the embarrassment and either learn the stuff yourself or pay for it.

To all the internet business people wannabes....erase the word partner and joint venture from your vocabulary. Only 1% of the people that use those words know what they mean.

And it's usually the people who have ended up screwed because they were the low paid whore.
 
Oh, and one more thing....

NO ONE has an idea that's so great that someone else who actually has the skills to implement it can't think of it.

Get over yourselves. Your ideas are common. You're not special and neither are your ideas. If they were, you wouldn't be offering them in exchange for web help.
 
BlondeTM,

If you had read everyone else's post you would have found out that your statements aren't original either.

Second, you would have realized by reading my response to smaxorz that I understood the general consensus's opinion and had moved on.

blackrock....

sometimes a girl just has to vent. That's why I put the disclaimer in that it wasn't personal. It's a hot button for me, and one of those things I had to put my .02 in on.

But +rep for being a gentleman.

Then why are you still here? I think a good plan B for you would be to use the search feature and work without a partner(s).
