Stop Smoking Pot . com needs to be brought to life!

**IAmAllanShore** · 11-15-2006, 10:16 PM

Hey folks, name is in the title. It needs a website focused on creating some value proposition not present in any pure "parking" arrangement.

I'm interested in "pitches" for not only the design, but also the content... Humor? An actual product? A resource page?

I'm not an anti-pot-activist by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have the name and would like it to finally be developed.

Token prizes for good ideas, my favorite idea/pitch will get $250NP and first refusal on working on the project for me.

The more detailed the pitch, the better. Include past work links if possible.

I hope to be moving forward by November 28th, although if I see something great sooner than that, I have no problem starting work earlier.

I will provide fast, public feedback on any ideas/submissions.

My goal on this one: make money.

If you want to go in as partners on a project on this domain, let me know what you have in mind. I know my skill-sets are not always in the design arena, so if you bring that to the table (Along with a willingness to get things turned around quickly) then we can both benefit.

If I've left anything out, I'll add it below.

Best to you all, and any questions: just ask!

It is going to be difficult making money with such a website from advertising. I know Google Adsense would probably not allowed this site just because it is contains "pot".
Anyway, best of luck.

Indeed - one reason I like the other models the current sites that are similar use is that they have an affiliate setup with places like Amazon, etc., where they link to "quitting" resources, rather than a ppc model (Not a fan

).

I'm interested, if you could please email me some more details.

**IAmAllanShore** · 11-17-2006, 12:26 PM

All "details" that I have are in the post above.
If there is something specific you are looking for, then ask

nice.

Well if I don't get any interest, a possible idea is always just a cafepress shop that has brownie t-shirts (Or I could affiliate through amazon.com for brownie mix as a joke? - Hell, I'm going to do that in the short run probably...)

Yeah, so, I did.

Or a simple forum, with one of the many and cheap templates that are out there, for debate on the whole pot issue, legal matters, ethics, health; You might also grab WhyStopSmokingPot.com and direct to your site, that gets both sides of the fence in there

StopSmokingDude.com
StopSmokingFool.com

both still avail. Now, I must head out to the patio for a C, to clear my head and think of more ideas, ha.

Ah, another brainstorm:
A user-uploads art site, where users can upload art/pics of their worst 'stoners' in pictures and art. You might nab the famous 'stoned again' image by Robert Crumb with permission? Sample here:

http://www.bytheplanet.com/MoreInfo/...opPass=Posters

I'm doing a similar thing with my vomitFace.com, ha ha. Don't all go rushing there, it's only a parked page for the next couple months, nothing yet. But, you get the idea - a cool site with simple user interface for uploading pics and art.
