BLOG » Building an Empire... Looking for Partners.

Here's the problem. Unless you're willing to sell/lease/license/etc the domain... I can't have team-bloggers updating blogs (domains) that we don't have access/control/ownership of. it would be a nightmare when it comes to IP, management, updating, software and keeping the network in tact and moving forward.

It's a different story when you are blogging on your own domain and choose to join the network.

we can discuss other options. but I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible. LOL. considering I've already received several hundred emails from partners, bloggers, etc... this will be tough, but fun.

as soon as I post the cut-off date for joining the network, I'm sure more people will join at the last minute.

I hope I answered some questions, if you have more, please post... it's easier to answer 10 of the same questions at once in this thread. but by all means don't be afraid to email me. I'm currently only 1-2 days behind.

151 Empires

I dropped you an email yesterday, Taboo. I know you're busy, but I wanted to let you know that mine's in the stack somewhere.

I won't forget anyone. LOL. I'm waiting for today's DomainDrop to end before I reply.

Some excellent questions via email...

re: translators
yes, we will offer blogs in other languages, and yes we would like to work with translators. even if you can't blog or don't have the time, we still have room on the team for you.

we have:
countryblog.com
cityblog.com
townblog.com

and we can offer subdomains like:
bangkok.cityblog.com, etc...


re: paying for upgrades, etc
just to make it clear, the TEAM will not pay to use all our tools. Only site members who sign up for extra blog features or for:

BLOGPASS

and yes I own BlogPass.com.


send us more great suggestions & tips.

I guess I dont understand the idea.

You are finding successful bloggers and puting them into a directory which you will promote and advertise.


Are you going to require the bloggers to have special links or ads from your network? Is that revenue sharing?


Why would someone with a successful moneymaking blog join your empire? What is in it for them?

I would love to be able to do something with all the blog domains I have, unfortunately, I dont think I can provide quality to all of them as far as content goes.



I would love to know more.

I need a new project.

I'll explain more soon.

I'm waiting. Because until now I don't got the "point"

Neither do I!

I haven't read this whole thread but is it me or should the word, "blog" be banned from gfy?

WG?

Most definately interested in seeing how I can add to your skill sets working for the cause.
We have content, an affiliate program, including mobile phone sites, and some impressive mobile products.

an example is www.adultmobilecinema.com and our flagship website is www.bankingbucks.com.

We are not focusing on bloggers who already have a successful blog. They are welcome to join the network, but the terms are obviously going to be different. We are looking for "new" bloggers who want to blog under our domains and form one cohesive network.

I will explain more later. on the phone with of my partners.

I'm looking forward to it.

Very nice lineup. I can already see possibile partnership opportunities. fyi, we also own the domains:

mPorn.com (m=mobile) & MoviesOnDemand.com

and we're looking for private-label partners.

Huh?

hehhehe, you know I love blogs
WG

send me an email or icq...interested

I just found out that we've got a few links to this thread from outside GFY. Hmmm... interesting. .


and just wanted to say "HI" to Roy. LOL. I'm sure by the time you're done reading this thread, you'll be more inspired than ever. Exciting, right? you can see why I'm losing sleep.

Plus, lots of great emails today. I was only only able to get thru a handful. will reply to all.

are you interested in blogging or providing content or bit of both?
email me: [email protected]

Whoof, I'm shocked too. Those are good grabs.

I'm in!
I can help you with:
Marketing and Content.
I've got exclusive Big Tits and Latina Content available.
Let me know what exactly your'e looking for.

Lots of niche domains left out there...

I recently picked up StockingsBlog.com & StockingBlog.com, not the greatest, but clearly define the niche and need it for the network.

Congrats to you all below. It'll be great to add you to the network.


and





custom software + other options.
and yes, it will have many features and capabilities.

Did I hear that mainstreme blogs could be used as well?

YES!



definitely.

Well, if your going to do what I think, I might be able to play a big part.

http://levitra.blogspot.com/ is linked to 60+ blogs which are listed on the left handside of the page. I have admin rights to all these blogs which are under one account. I have no time for the blogs. The blogs have PR from 3-5. I will sell the login/pass to these blogs for 500.00 if anyone interested.

I'm trying to think about what you're thinking I'm thinking about.

So post it here or email me.

any traffic?

re: humor, comedy - related blogs
yes, one of the blogs will be under the domain:

JokeBlog.com
there will be multiple sections, regular, 18+, adult, etc... and subdomains available for multiple bloggers...

we also have:
TriviaBlog.com
QuoteBlog.com
RecipeBlog.com
etc...

bump for an excellent idea

I've just purchased whoreblog.com / whoreblog.net - any need for it?

very nice. possibly.

to all:

updates are coming. I was on the road all day... would've been the perfect time for dombuyer to rob my house.
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hreadid=398807

LOL.

blogging is cool and can be way proftiable..good idea

thanks.

Taboo sent you an e-mail and am waiting for reply. I know you have alot to go through if I do not hear back in the next week should I send again. Very interested in this project.

I started replying to people today. and I have 200+ emails to go. LOL. I'm even more excited then ever.

If you have a question, ask here so I can answer for everyone. and yes I will get to everyone's email. promise.

edit: by all means, please keep emailing me with your ideas, Qs,suggestions, etc. my programmers are working on the software now and all your input is appreciated.

Taboo care to create a FAQ file to expalin to everyone exactly how this is going to work? I've browsed through the pages in this thread and the only answer I've gotten so far from you is "I'll tell you more later".

Yes I'll have a FAQ when the time is right. Keeping many details underwraps. I'll answer any questions in this thread that I am permitted to answer at this time.

DEVELOPMENT STATUS:
We've been "in stealth mode" developing our own software. We looked at many software options out there...free, paid, opensource, etc... nothing fit our business model and many were too restrictive (content, licensing, domains, etc) so we're building the feature-rich blog software from scratch. this will take time but I've got a skilled team working on it and we're making sure we do it right the first time. We're targeting Summer 2005 for Launch.

.

re: mainstream vs adult
lots of email asking if you can have multiple blogs and the answer is yes, but if you are blogging under mainstream categories you must refrain from posting adult links/content, etc for obvious reasons. You can not link your mainstream blog to your adult blog but vice-versa is allowed.

.

re: moblogging
yes, we are working on incorporating moblogging (mobile blogging: text and pix from your mobile phones, pdas, devices) and vogging (video blogging), but honestly, the vogging is not as important to us as moblogging will be right now. But vogging is definitely in our strategy. see next question for more...

.

re: linking to my blog
If you have your own site, i.e. you're a model/cam girl and want your own blog and don't want to lose your traffic, you can iframe your blog. We will still link to your blog and make it searchable within our network and our surfers will not have access to your paid members areas. if you wish to keep your blog private and for you members only, that may be possible. Plus, you'll be able to update your blog with your mobile phone via SMS/Text message and if you have a PhoneCam you can upload your pix instantly or archived for you to add later when you get back home. I know it seems obvious but I received this question alot and it needed answering.

.

re: competing services / referring bloggers
yes there are many out there but always room for more because new bloggers are born everyday. In fact many services have launched on GFY recently and congrats to them for getting online. more services = more bloggers = wider audience = faster adoption rate. I'm not doing this to compete with anyone... I'm willing to work with everyone. I'm making use of my resources, domains, ideas, network, traffic, etc to create a service that hopefully will be adopted by many bloggers. If other services want to work with me, they are welcome to contact me and I will consider private-label/co-brand partnerships where every (team or regular) blogger you refer will be tiered under your affiliate code. If you're not happy with your current solution, then we'll try to accommodate you. That goes for everyone... if you refer other bloggers to join our team, make sure you let us know so we place them under your code so you earn a bonus on the revenue they generate.

.

THE BOTTOM LINE
If you are already blogging or thinking about blogging you can use any service you want out there AND/OR use ours at the same time... post once to all of us. If you already have your own blog at a free service or on your own domain, you can use our service to mirror your blog under one of our domains and share in the benefits we're offering. If you don't know how or why to blog, we'll educate you and open your eyes to the full potential of blogs. You can blog about almost any topic you want and have multiple blogs. If you want to blog about your own life, your favorite celebrity, food, tv show, video game, job, relationship, fetish, lifestyle, sexstyle, workstyle, etc then you'll be able to. We're launching a cohesive and comprehensive network of 300+ blog domains that will be sharing traffic and revenue with our pre-launch affiliate TEAM-BLOGGERS. Everyone is invited to join us. But after we launch we may be closing the doors and not "openly" bringing on more TEAM-BLOGGERS unless they are referred by a current team-blogger. After we launch, our service will have free and paid services for new bloggers but NO revenue/traffic sharing. If you just want to be an affiliate (because you don't feel like blogging) you can send traffic to our paid blog service and earn revenue-share.

If you're interested in learning more about our blog software to use for your own site, either co-brand or private-label, email me and I will consider it.

any more questions?
please email me or post them here. Most likely i will answer them here to benefit others who may have similar questions. If you wish your question to be answered privately, then let me know.

if I have not replied to you yet, hopefully the answer is within this thread, if not, please resend and make the

Subject: BLOGS

keep in mind, I get 100,000 emails per day to all my domains, though much is spam, I find gold in there sometimes, so I still go thru much of it. I receive at least 100+ emails per day from people buying/selling domains, gfy programs/sponsors etc. I am not ignoring anyone out there and will answer your questions. In fact, I'm considering hiring an assistant (or 2) to read my email. Anyone interested? LOL.

more Q&A coming soon. Thanks to EVERYONE that contacted us and of course thanks to GFY... truly a networking resource that many don't even try to tap into... I'll make sure to heavily promote Adult.com/RealityCash.com/etc within the blog network.

more Q&As

.

re: member's only blog and/or charging for access
yes, we will have features that allow you to password protect your blog. we will have a free section and premium section. but not everyone will qualify for premium content until it's justifiable. If you want a private blog (for family, friends, work, etc) vs. public (all-access) then perhaps joining our team isn't right for you. However, you're a perfect candidate for our paid service.

.

re: how many blogs can I have
There is no limit, but only take on as much as you can handle. I personally know some dedicated bloggers who maintain 20+ QUALITY blogs daily and others you'll read about that operate hundreds of blogs that are updated frequently. BLOG all you want but of course we prefer QUALITY over QUANTITY. If you notice your traffic decline, then cut back on the number of blogs or don't try to update them daily.

.

I am excited with the quality of questions and suggestions that you're all sending in. Lots of enthusiasm and hitting on some ideas that are very innovative. Keep it coming.

.

re: why? how?
A few emails asking "why we want to compete" and "how can we expect to succeed" against juggernauts like Google's BLOGGER, MSN's Spaces, etc... simple... we're not trying to steal marketshare away from them. We only want to get a slice of the pie, not the whole pie. A tiny foothold is all we need. But comparing us to Blogger is not completely accurate... we're focusing on being more like these companies:

www.weblogsinc.com
http://news.google.com/news?num=100&...nG=Search+News

www.gawker.com (fleshbot, gizmodo, etc)
http://news.google.com/news?q=gawker...ff&sa=N&tab=wn

and adding elements from Blogger.com and other services like www.MySpace.com & www.Friendster.com

So check out the corporate sites of weblogsinc & gawker and look through their network of blogs. If you like what you see, share the same vision and want to play a major role in what we're building, then sign-on.

email me for more info/questions/feedback.
