Hello some of you know me and some of you don't. I am a decade long veteran and never had a bad business encounter since I have been on namepros. I am starting a domain investing group which we will buy, sell, park, and develop websites. We will be reinvesting a portion of the profits into new domains and other needs of the group. I really want to target some newer domainers and people wanting to learn along with anyone whos got some services to contribute. This way new people can see how things happen and why within the industry. Looking for minimum investment of $200 paypal per person if you cannot have it all at once just let m know and we can work some options out. The plan is to build it up for the first 6 months before we even start paying anything out to build a foundation. If interested just reply that you are interested here or shoot me a message here on the forum and I can answer questions. I will only send the paypal email out through private messaging here on namepros. I wanted to make a post here to make everyone aware of it as well as have a record of it existing.

I look forward to meeting some new faces and making some money together. Make sure to tell me if you can contribute any kind of talent in developing, etc. For example one guy we have investing into the group is gonna do graphics design for us with logos and what not and another is handling virtual currency stuff like bitcoin payments.

I will also be contributing $300 to $500 of my own personal sales to get the group moving faster along for you guys.
And yes after the 6 months you will start to receive paypal payments of the total income divide by the amount of people in the group and continue to get them as we grow every month from there on out.

If you see this as selling and its just normal second nature then imagine what happens when I actually start the selling mode. Guess you know what your getting already in advance huh.

Few questions

a) Is the group still open at the initial conditions (200$ for 100 shares) ?

b) What do you expect from participants after the initial phase ? Just money from time to time ? Active participation in selecting domain targets ? Active participation to raise additional money ? Tips and suggestions from time to time ?

c) Would you define your project as primarily a training program or an investment club

d) Side question: can I enter as a passive investor. I've read somewhere that you have the right to buy investors out anytime at their cost price (not very fair IMHO, it should rather be at the current net value with some discount for liquidity). What general criteria would you envision to exercice this right ? Note that it would'nt be my objective to be a passive investor.

yeah its still open if someone wanted to jump in. I have just been busy with some projects for it lately.

money in initial if they wanna reinvest for more stuff they can. I mean we will have more side projects people can jump in on as well.


primary investment but you pick up skills along the way. everything with domaining from time to the money is an investment.

we meant buy them out if they wished to not participate. this would be done down the road and would need someone in the group to be willing to buy the shares to begin with. we give them what they put in really. I mean theres no guarantee someone would want there shares at the current moment even. If you wanted to be a private investor you would have to pm me then. I do respect those who wish to be behind the scenes. Not everyone wants there name out there. Shares are based on buy in to what we make income wise. The group builds and builds. I cant see anyone throwing free payments away especially when they will make a decent return monthly.

and btw 200 per 100 you can buy more.

Before investing in any group such as this you should fully consider exactly what you are getting into. The questions I believe you should ask are quite simple. I'm not saying you shouldn't invest but you should check your gut and instincts and check expectations at the door.

How keen are you on ever seeing your money again?

What type of group is this: Hobby or Professional?
Is there an auditor or accountant managing the portfolio and the proper tracking of income, expenses, and liabilities. These would include proper tax filing in the appropriate jurisdiction and certain incorporation- are you cash or accrual accounting? Are you capitalizing costs? Amortizing costs? Are you filing financial disclosures accuracy? Are you an investor or an actual part owner via a share structure?

These are structural things you should now if you care about your money and tax obligations.

What is the reputation you are staking your money on and what is your own personal liability?
Who are you getting into business with? Do any of the members have a criminal record? Do any of your members have a track record of losing WIPOs against large corporations. Are the names/cash held in trust? Who has control and can you trust that person.

What is the positive reputation based on. I'd recommend a deeper dive than post counts, likes and a few trader ratings. I like NP but there is nothing here that proves integrity. It has to be earned or you're taking a chance. Sometimes you need to take a calculated risk - is this that time?

Can you real trust these people? Do you really want to be associated with these people.. if you are in a group and you start investing in LEGO or Michelin names are you financially protected?

Simply Why?
Why do you think working with someone is better than you learning and doing this on your own. Why, if this is working so well, would someone want to share this awesome opportunity. Are they really that altruistic.
Are there any obvious red-flags: inflated expectations, referencing one-off sales as a pattern, a vague history of success.

Don't let me stop you from investing but make sure you are prepared for the worst.

Some specific questions that I would want an answer to before I invested in this group.
There should be no issue answering any of these in my opinion:

start to receive paypal payments of the total income divide by the amount of people in the group
So it's not based on the invested amount or number of "shares" but number of people. What about provided services - do they get higher earnings Is there clear charter laying this out.

Initial investment of $200 is equal to 100 shares.
What's a share? How many shares exist and are outstanding? How many are float shares? Are these even real shares or just something you made up?

this grows and grows its doesn't just sit and wait. projected income per investor first year will be $xxx to $x,xxx
So if I give you $20,000 I'm going to get a projected income of something between $10,000 and $200,000 without even impacting my initial capital investment? That's awesome! Or am I missing something or are your projections just wild ass guesses? Or are they not scalable - how are you going to turn finding 10 regfee names you flip for xxxxx% into finding 100 regfee names and then 200...

If your shares don't profit that first year I will 100% buy them back from you
So you have a cash reserve for this personally and will buy out their "shares" or is this part of a more formal legal arrangement.

state of wisconsin we are going to register the business name for this group
What is this business name -is it an LLC or are you incorporating? I'm sure people would love to see the principals are... most filings would come with an operating agreement. An LLC will not work with more than a few members due to disagreements..

they wont eber be this cheap again
Because of dilution presumably - where would the new shares come from assuming these are meaningful.

I need to make one thing very clear during the investment phase there are no refunds.
But you will 100% buy their shares back, right?

Me and the other members do not need the headaches playing childish game

That's why you should play the adult game of building a proper business plan. Childish games involve just passing money around like there are no actual fiscal responsibilities involved. This isn't trading sandwiches for a cookie.

you cant lose i back all initials.
But there are no refunds?

I really didnt draw up a plan because domaining is too hard to predict. I could draw up an amazing business plan with all these nice promises but I refuse.
1.) buy domains
2.) pick rather to develop, sell, park, etc
3.) make the income
4.) reinvest 50% profits to more domains and payout other 50% of the prior months profits split amongst the shares.
5.) share holders get money
It's hard to predict but you always get more money. Sounds awesome. How do you decided to develop,sell,park...and what to buy. What is the voting structure.

we can also have offline connections not just namepros members will be exchanging cellphone numbers to text, etc and skype for foreign members

If this is the case then the group cannot operate outside of Namepros. Group activities when done on NP should be done on NP.
So. Is this going to stay an NP group or move offline?

We didn't make anything on day 1. no earning, no expense we got the website underway as step 1 within the first 24 hours. All stats and information will be updated on the official website once its fully done. No payouts in first 6 month building period.
http://dncrew.com/? Impressive 503 site or is it somewhere else.

so the opportunity to be in a group with domain investor/experts like baseballworld is not something I trip across every day
Whenever you invest in someone check their resume. I presume you have done and that it was to your satisfaction.

Or if you already invested call your lawyer and sue his sorry ass.

first off the group has all the members it currently needs. I will change the term to crew points since shares seems to be an issue.

Sites not up... We know this we aren't launched till july either. We are working on developing stuff for the income and getting backlinks and stuff. Will be up on launch date for sure.

Day one was a beta test of a few names parked. Did well but we wanna do some work first. gave an idea of stuff. Traffic ended up well month later with thousand plus clicks.

I decide based on stats when i park it. If i see its a lower cpc trend and high traffic I know its better off developed.

Childish game is screaming failure before a launch date. But then again people complain over multiple posts in a row in the breakroom thread.

Shares can be bought back by any member after building phase. we did post that not just a quote of a section of it.

New shares are if we decide to let others in will have to be based on the average share value members earn currently.
lie tube we cant predict there future but they do get 10,000 weekly views and were not even halfway done adding nor linking to them.

do business as name we wanna buy once its launched.

every agreement here is a business agreement s if buying a name off someone on namepros. I screw up i lose decades work simple as that.

If you're serious about your project, you need a site with his own domain name where you can post any of your thoughts about this even if you're not completely decide how exactly will be work your project/company. This is for more wider audience. With SEO/SMO I can help you.

So, now there is two groups?

I invested into this in October last year...

With that said...

How can there be two groups if first group hasn't started yet? I thought it starts in July now?

Few questions.

1. How many members are there in group number 1?
2. How many domains does group 1 currently own, if any?
3. How much of the original investment total (from all investors)is still available for buying domains? Or have you spent all the 1200 bucks on hand regs for the group? Are they parked at least?
4. If half of the money is already spent why exactly are we waiting till July to launch?
5. Is there anyone in the group that knows whats going on financial besides you (BBW)? If so please PM me a list. I doubt the others really want to keep it confidential from another member, I find that hard to beleive.
6. Before it was mentioned there would be a six month build time...what exactly are you building? I'm guessing the game?

Could the other members please PM me. I'm lost on what and who is in on this...

If anyone has any info please pm me. I still have the DNCREW domain not sure why we need a website at this point or if that is still being thought about?

Thanks

RWD

From what I am understanding some members have contacted others and not gotten responses wanting to help with tasks they were given. people have contacted others but cold shouldered so i got dan in on the site developing. That way you can all have a meet and greet in june to get the ball rolling.

Some status briefing would be appreciated also by me. Maybe as group pm to all the members of the group?

The status briefing should in my opinion at least include:
  • What has been done (which domains bought, etc) so far --> how the budget has been spent
  • Overview of the next steps
  • Other things (for example what members of the group can contribute of knowledge/skills)
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

I'd say it depends on the name and other factors such as traffic.
