Double Your Way To A Million ! Goals ?

Double Your Way To A Million ! Goals ?

Well, I must admit I've spent a lot of Christmas and the New Year explaining to various family members about my new idea.

I'll let you all know now as I'm only a week from going live.

My next idea is basically setting up a website that allows people to submit their poor customer service or product stories. If you're a regular reader, you know about the iBook incident...Very poor service.

Well, what The Ransom Site © will be is a place where people can go to submit these stories and vent. But the best part ??? I will choose the best story or experience per month and " Ransom Off " This item on eBay.

Basically, I will promote it like crazy, have a professional do an animated auction geared to get people watching and have a reserve set.
The reserve will cover costs and the purchase of a new item for the person whoose story it is. Anything extra will go to this cause and the upkeep of the site.

Why would people pay me for these crappy consumer goods ? Well the front page of my site allows people to advertise, a bit like a pixel site.
They will buy not only the right to dispose of the item as they see fit (which could be VERY interesting !!) but they also get a large designated area on my homepage.
Still doesn't sound like a good deal ? Well, I will guarantee a certain amount of veiws in the first year, there will be a total of 3 direct links to their website and it will be there for 10 years.

They will also have the opportunity to change the link and/or picture 12 times a year, have a page feature on The Ransom Blog at least once and have the opportunity to win back their Entire purchase price*.

And for those who want something for nothing.... Everyone who hops onto my Newsletter list, gets a chance to win either a $5,000 computer or Gaming system or $5,000 in cash.

Where is this site ? you ask..... Here; The Ransom Site

It is not completely finished yet, but it is getting there.
Did I also mention there will be a forum and a free membership site with tons of free stuff for web entreprenuers.

Phew !
Now you all know whats going on, I'll get back to it.

Oh, and my DYWTAM goal for this year ?
To Get To Step 22 $10,000 - $20,000
Ambitious I know, but once it is said, I'll work hard to get there :)

Bye Now,
Rachel.

PS; If you'd like a free ad leading to anything, just get free pixels from my site. I am working hard to make it a high page rank, so It could definately help you. For those who do paid blogs, a higher page rank can make you eligible for more valuable articles.
If you don't know how to find your page rank, just download Googles firefox with toolbar :)
