Hi all, over the last 5 months I have been developing a website service for Australia with 1 other partner.
If you have been looking for an opportunity to get in on the ground level with a start up and you live in Australia, you must check this out.
We have an Australian Pty Ltd Company set-up around a new, unique, non-existing website service, initially for the Australian market and we are approaching launch now. Whilst this website is NOT an Internet marketing website we have engineered and designed the website to utilise a large number of internet marketing techniques.
Here's the issues:
First, whilst I have developed the business model to monetize the idea and created the systems and systemisation of the website service, my other partner, and 1 of 2 Company Directors ( inc. me ), has no real skills in regards to marketing or internet related technologies.
BUT the original idea is his, hence he currently has a 50% share in the company.
So all of the work falls to me, and honestly it is simply too much. Once launched I envisage the amount of administration, tracking and tweaking will be significantly higher than it has been during the development phase.
Without additional assistance this is doomed to fail, which is unacceptable considering the time and considerable money I have invested personally in the development of the software core, systems and business model.
You see I'm an Australian BUT I live in China with my family on a posting. The demands of this posting are likley to increase significantly over the next 18 months, including significant regional travel and I dont want to sacrifice the last 5 months work OR my posting here in China and the last 7 years of work!
I need help.
Here's What I'm Looking For:
I have spoken with my Co-Director and we have agreed that we need to bring in new blood to assist us and to ensure we do not waste the time and money we have already invested.
But this person has to be able to contribute to a similar level as myself. The skills we are seeking:
* Fluent in HTML, CSS, PHP,
* Familiarity with cpanel, ftp, cron jobs and installation of web scripts and databases
* Good competencies with Apache, htaccess, mysql
* Sales and marketing experience in a professional environment other than the internet
* An understanding of Australian trades is preferred but not required.
* Ability to contribute up to between 10 and 30 hours per week.
Here's What In It For You:
This is a pretty good offer -
WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR INVESTORS.
Please be very clear, we do not want money from anyone to participate. Rather we are seeking an individual who really wants to make a unique and innovative business and business model into a successful Australian company.
The concept and model can be applied worldwide if it proves itself worthy in Australia.
We will provide the right individual a share in the Company with voting rights.
Yes, you read that correctly!
You will become one of the 3 directors of the company, legally with private company shares. (The exact percentage will depend but I expect it to be between 10% to 20% of the company shares.)
Up front - the expectation is that we would re-invest any dividends for the first 1 or 2 years and are unlikely to draw a very high wage, if any from the company initially. This of course depends entirely on the level of success and revenue and will be detailed in a legal document when you become a Company Director.
We need a highly motivated person, male or female, with the right skill sets, that can demonstrate dedication and an intense desire to succeed, a passion for doing things the right way, and creativity to adapt to systems and business models, as I do.
I will need to speak to people directly and I will remain the major shareholder.
1.
PM your interest to me.
2. Include contact details so I can call - Skype, mobile or home phone whichever you prefer with a breif description of your history, skills and interest level
3. Align a meeting to see if we are compatible and to confirm skills
Any Australian interested please start now as I need to get this launched but cannot do that until we have the right person in place.
This is a Genuine Offer
You see, I am contractually prohibited from recruiting anyone form my current employer (albiet there are a number of people that do meet my criteria above) and my Co-Director works in a trade where his associates do not posses the correct skills.
