    New idea - No money

    So I have this idea about a new concept for porn. I'm not sure if it can be called a niche or just a new type of porn.

    The problem is that I don't have the money to develop it. How do I look for investors? Most importantly, how do I protect the idea from getting stolen if I reveal it to possible investors?

      I don't tell it? So basically I have to pull money out of my ass or give away the idea?

                There are sites on the internet where you can offer your ideas for sale but you will have to sort of tell what they are about.

                      I really have no idea. Just to be on the extremely safe side, I'd say about 20K, but possibly a lot less, like 10K. I have the idea, but I haven't even started to figure things out.

                          Won't this protect me from people talking about the idea but not executing this? I need chmod 700 on this and I need to figure out some way of doing it.

                            Fuck the content. I need to protect the concept, at least until I've established myself on the market.

                              Do you even have any skills and experience or is the "concept" the only thing you bring to the table?

                                I have an advertising and marketing background, not electronic though. Secifically as a regional account exec for a big company. Regional as in a region of the world, not a country.

                                  If "protecting your concept" was possible there wouldn't be a bazillion bangbus and milfhunter copycat sites out there.

                                  Doesn't matter if you get copied, only matters if you get to market first.
                                  Unfortunately you're not going to find people willing to invest big $$ unless you have a proven track record in this biz.

                                  Also, it's very possible that your "new idea" has been tried before, isn't really new it's just something you haven't seen before...or it may be a bad idea to everyone but you.

                                      Lenny, you're absolutely correct in all of your points. That's why I need to discuss it with someone while knowing that he or she will not steal it from me.

                                      And yes, the whole point is to roll out first, then all the rest can follow.

                                                You just turned down a great offer from Lenny.

                                                What are you holding out for? Someone to hand you 20k on blind faith?

                                                Time to wake up and smell the coffee mate.

                                                  So basically what you're asking is how you ask someone whether they like your idea without revealing the idea? Sounds like a paradox...

                                                  Are you looking for a partner or a silent investor? If you want to run solo, surely you can just get a loan somewhere?

                                                    Yes, I do realize that I'm in a bad spot, that's why I asked for advice. As I said before, I'm new to the adult industry. It started as a hobby until today when this idea hit me from nowhere.

                                                    I also know that it might just be the case where I think it's a fantastic idea and everyone else thinks its crap, but I don't think so.

                                                    I haven't seen an attempt at this idea, and even though I'm new at adult webmastering, I've been watching porn on the net since 1994 or 1995, when porn went down using fservers on IRC. Are they still doing that btw?

                                                      You may want to try for a bank loan and then proceed with the idea by yourself. Other than that, you'll have to disclose at least a general idea to the potential investors.
                                                      Also, as some people already mentioned, you can't copyright it. So the only hope that you have is getting to the market first and grabbing a large piece of it.

                                                        I know I may have turned down a good offer. I'm not in a position to start blurting it out anyway. I know Lenny knows his shit, but I just can't.

                                                                      otherwise, youre fucked. you want someone to invest in your idea because its good, yet you refuse to tell any potential investors what the idea may be.

                                                                      put yourself in their shoes. would you drop 20k on a random guy from the internet that has a "good idea thats never been done before", if he wouldnt even tell you the idea?

                                                                        At some point you will need to disclose your idea. I think you've fallen into the adult business, GFY paranoia that all of your ideas are brilliant and exclusive. Or that everyone will copy cat you and by tomorrow you'd have 500 sites ripping off your idea.

                                                                        Which I always find laughable.

                                                                        But even if you took it to a RL bank, or borrowed the money from an online broker... at SOME POINT you are going to have to provide a business plan, or model for this 'genius' before people will loan you a cent.

                                                                        If you can't give the idea, or a business plan, your idea is nothing.

                                                                        Should You Email Your Members?

                                                                          Its cool that you don't wanna disclose the info...I totally understand...I trust your idea is the next big thing...So just let me know where to sign...

                                                                          I'll give ya 6 months to get everything up and running...

                                                                            Well, yes, you're all correct. I wouldn't give money to some guy with an idea on the board. By the way, I wasn't asking for GFY investors, I know that will never happen.

                                                                            It's not like I think that all my ideas are pure genius, in fact, it's usually the other way around. That's why I'm going through so much trouble protecting this one.

                                                                            I need to protect this idea until I'm the first one out there with it. I NEED to be first in the market. After that, everyone can lick my balls and copy it or do whatever they please. I don't think I would care because I was there first, and if I can develop it correctly, I shouldn't be afraid to have competition.

                                                                            And yes, I'm in a tough spot. But I absolutely need to check and research the market before I can even hint something or look for investors.

                                                                            I believe it's a great idea. Is there a market for it? I'll find out soon enough, although based on what I currently see out there, it's very possible.

                                                                            Thank you for all the advice on the thread.

                                                                            Also, I thought there was a standard way of handling this situation in the business. It seems that the only thing that can be done is a NDA and a no-compete if I want to tell someone about it.

                                                                                                    When I have it figured out, both the business model and the legal stuff, I'll get in touch.

                                                                                                    Once again, thanks for the offer.
