If your needs include soliciting for other sites on a forum you can expect much of the same.

Yes, my needs relate to proposals at length that I have put up on my personal website. How is anyone to find them, if I cannot post the URL?

I guess they won't. I've already told you that this is not the place to get help in promoting your site. Therte are a lot of things we won't help you with.

We won't help you do something illegal, we won't help you with software codes for example.

And we won't help you by allowing you to use the forum as a medium for you to promote your site.

There are a host of other things we are not going to help you do.

And then there are other things we will help you with, I wrote an extensive amount of text for you to help you with a complicated request for web design help.

Thanks for the code help, but if it isn't parced with remarks in the standard manner for the free scripts online that I have been using, I will have difficuilty following it. Dyslexia, as I said. No kidding. I can't read it! My eyes just swim. I lack the RAM, so to speak, I have a problem with short term memory, "like writing on water" as my doctor put it.

Now, on to the next matter, a forum on site promotion actually would be nice, but what I was asking for was help with business plans, as offerred. Business plans for what? Oh, I can't tell anyone because posting the URL might promote my personal website (where I have put up my proposals) as a byproduct!

Please instruct me as to how to pursue the perfectly legitimate inquiry as above. Thanks!

I'll try to clarify the code I gave you one more time (I'll do it when I have more time so that it is clear).

Thing is, it's not typical code. What you asked for is a bit complicated and has to be applicablw to an unlimited amount of pages.

As to help with your business plan you can always explain it here. You've linked to your site about 5 times, I'm sure that if you really want help you can explain what you want help in.

BTW, I visited your site 3 times already, I do not think it will help people help you.

Again, thanks for the code help, and, yes, at your convenience, certainly.

And no, to explain it all here, regards my biz plan needs, I'd need to copy and paste about half my site to these boards! It is intrinsically complicated. Why seek to uninvent Hypertext?

BTW, did you get through to the pertinent section of my site? I ask because you do not explain your difficulty. I know that I'm the one here who's Dyslexic and all, but, still, did you at least proceed to the project proposals?

The average time a user spends on a site is between 10 to 20 seconds. I did a deep crawl but most wouldn't have. Much of it seems like you go out of your way to drive visitors off (e.g. the page transition effects, most people hate them (except a web designer who just discovered them, I went through that phase) but on your site they are especially long. This makes it less interesting.every single detail seems to be calculated to make the average page views even less than the norm).

Yes I have seen your proposals:

Quote:
Visionary pioneering Entrepreneurs desperately needed:
Technicians, programmers, webdesigners, MBAs, CFOs, lawyers and paralegals, Activists, lobbyists, promoters, publicists, patent expertise, what-have-you! just to name a few, and others, anywhere in the world with an Internet connection, to form as yet unCapitalized new business start-up from scratch, first concept. No salary, expenses or commissions, heavy responsibility, long odds, no resources, grueling hardship, and the derived satisfaction, personal growth, learning, invaluable work experience, and challenging creativity of participation in a unique and intensely interesting cutting edge high tech inception stage venture.
High chances of endless delay, fiscal disaster, calamitous failure and utter collective humiliation. Obscene profits, blue chip equity, acclaim, accomplishment, self realization, true love, and all from saving the world, should we succeed. Ideas a plus. Strategic Partners welcome. Promotional Exchange valued.

WARNING: Not a paying job, just an adventure!
And services and products described and proposed may not yet exist.


The emphasis is all mine. If you want my opinion on it I will give it but I do not think it will be an opinion you will enjoy hearing.

Intrinsically, in any of the varied subject matter on my site, there is very little for the short attention span. That's just reality. Speaking of which, As regards the quote and your choice thereof and emphasis added by you therein, was there a question in there somewhere?

Yes.

A) do you think your presentation will attract investment of money and time while phrased that way?

AND

B) What is the land of milk and honey you are promisning?

Lots of times people think their ideas will make money and solicit help and capita; for the ideas. Those who give help and capital are discriminating because just about everyone with an idea thinks it is a good one.

I have seen what your presentation is and have seen some of the ideas. If I were an investor (of time or money) I would not be interested.

At the same time I think you can do more to help change an investor's mind. I think if you explained it better I would not be as inclined to dissmiss it as too risky.

I am promising nothing but the daunting reality and seek nothing but common cause. Nor do I know how to explain it better without far more specific critique.

AA,

What business is it? Give us a clue. Are you trying to sell bridges? I'm not asking for much. Nobody will invest in "daunting reality".

Especially in the current climate.

I think this approach may have worked better circa 1998, when everyone was starting something and everything seemed to be doing great and everyone wanted a piece of the pie. But people are very, very cautious these days, given the economic climate. So emphasizing WHY they should help you, and convincing them that there is something in it for them, is a more promising tack.

There are different proposals listed with short descriptions, and links provided for fuller detail. I'd give you the URL, but then they'd have to delete this thread....


And, sozobe, don't I know it!

Indeed, during the better economic climate, and after the work I put in to help put together the deal, I lost our shot at the proverbial brass ring because of the sheer vanity and passive hostility of my so called partner in the undertaking.

But, on the optimistic side, preparation now affords a head start for when things may ever pick up again. And there is plenty of ground work needed.

Help for your biz plan
I'd be happy to take a look at your business plan and give you my opinion. I've written about 10 plans for businesses I've launched. I've had 7 start-ups, 6 exits via merger and one IPO.

I've been successful at growing firms to 1,000+ staff and raising millions in venture and angel funding

Thanks! I'll send you the details in a private message, since there is a stupid rule in efect on this forum against anyone just posting their URL. (And all the pertinent info is at my website)

@AaronAgassi,
Not such a stupid rule after all, eh?
