Concept: TGP leasing with option to purchase?
 

Would this fly? We would lease you a TGP with x amount of traffic and y amount of galleries already archived, and you'll have the option to purchase the leased TGP after a certain period of time.

would a security deposit be required?

Just the first month payment would fine if paying monthly by credit card. I think!

who would be running the tgp during the lease period, lessee or lessor?

The lessee. If the lessor owns the site (until the lessee purchase it), I don't see the point of renting it and at the same time running it. I could be wrong!

The lessee could always hire a manager to operate it for him/her?

Give us some traffic and dollar numbers.

For a no frill TGP with no hosting provided, I think 65USD/month per 10,000 of initial traffic/day and 10 good trades would be a minimum?

very interesting ....... email me [email protected] if you have more info

so youd get the tgp to a certain agreed upon traffic level & hand it off to the lessee.... hmm.... interesting idea...

hit me up as well dawgy + woofmedia + com

Right now I'm just researching if there is a market for such a service. The numbers haven't been fully tabulated yet nor the paperwork that would be involved.

Check out this site http://www.tgpheadstart.com/


:D

np.... I think its a great idea,

questions:

would you provide the software as well?

and how will you show that the traffic is quality?

thanks

Hmm, Nice idea!
think it will look something like this?

atleast that's what I did a month ago!

I think that sounds pretty reasonable. If you go ahead with this, contact me at 8106140.

Also, I have a piece of software that may bundle very well with this.

Looking good, how's it doing for ya?

Yes, basic scripts would be included (i.e. trading and galleries scripts) and if the lessee wants more scripts added, the monthly rent would go up accordingly.

I guest the best way to show the traffic quality is to let the potential client "test drive" the TGP for a very short period of time

I Don't run it although I lend a hand when I can. Multispeed is a little enthusiastic about it so don't mind him LOL.

Any info can be found at the site any more question are handled via email ;)
The front end and cc processor arent set fully and should be in a few days.

just buy all the gallery spots - same thing as leasing it.

i get a 404 on this page, but i'l like more info on leasing....let me know when its up...... grand at grandgalleries.com

I would certainly pay 65$/10K/day each month.... I would even pay up to 150$!

I'd be interested..

I was thinking the same thing!

My site doesn't get that much traffic in a month and I make allot more then $65.00 - people would have to be out of they're minds not to want a deal like that.

It would be interesting to hear how http://www.tgpheadstart.com/ is doing.

Currently they are upgrading the site to make room for the processing system all questions and info can be directed here sales | AT | tgpheadstart.com .... They are aware of it and are makeing site adjustments... Sorry for the inconvience it may cuase anyone.

I think there's a little misunderstanding.

If I were to start such a service I would not guaranty say 50,000 hits per day for the duration of the leasing contract for $325/month. What I would do is lease you a site that is getting the 50,000 hits per day on the day the leasing agreement is signed (and maybe with a one month guaranty) and if you don't mess things up and manage it properly, it may continue to generate the 50,000 hits a day or rise.
