Hello everyone,

I just developed and launched a website (www.masterlance.com) and I am looking for a business partner, because I don't have the time and money to promote it by myself.
I am currently involved in other projects, which take most of my resources. Basically, I need my partner to promote the website, find clients, provide client database etc.
I'm also considering selling the website, if I cannot find a suitable business partner.
For more details, please contact me on [email protected].

Best regards,
Andrei

Seems like the kind of thing you could advertise on a freelancing site!

I've already tried that, with another project, but no noticeable results...

since no one is interested in a partnership, how about this:

let's say I evaluate the website at $5000 and split it into 500 shares of $10 / share.
I sell the shares and I use the money to promote the website

I'm open to other suggestions...

Dump it and move on.

Hello everyone,

I created a product that isn't doing well so it doesn't make sense for me to devote any time to it or invest any money into promoting it. I'm looking for a business partner who will promote it, find customers, maintain it, etc. All you have to do is do all the work and send me the money.

I'm also considering dumping the product entirely if you would like to buy me out.

Anyone interested in this great deal?

I know it's a small thing, but when I see careless mistakes on the front page of a web site, particularly one advertising creative services, it just hollers out all sorts of negative vibes about the organization.

"We'll be working together on the designs of yours projects"

I'd rather work with people who gave a toss about the finished product - would be my reaction if I were in the market for what you were selling.

On the home page you have, "Stationary Launch your project identity and branding..."
I think you mean 'Stationery'.

On this page you have 5 steps, but no step 3, instead you have two step 4s.

In general, the concept of the business is not bad. Crowdsourcing designs using microstock would provide a market for microstockers. But I think you would need to differentiate yourself from crowdspring and 99designs which are estblished in the 'crowdsourcing designs' space. That would be hard. It would be the problem ebay's competitors had: Even if they didn't like ebay, buyers went to ebay because that's where the sellers were; even if they didn't like ebay, sellers went to ebay because that's where the buyers were. You would face a similar problem in competing with crowdspring and 99designs.

Still, it might be worth a try if you could find some new angle to leverage. I think a lot of designers are not really very happy with some of the things at crowdspring and 99designs.

Yay! Another "spec work" site. I guess Christmas came early.

Thank you all for taking the time to read my posts and review my website. There was really no need for ironies, though...
