Business Direction - I'm Stuck
Over the years I have developed and tried to build on several ideas. Last year I decided I needed to focus my efforts on one single project full time.
I have settled on my rankings project. No, not page rankings. Rankings like you see in sports - power rankings.
I currently have a horrible logo which I threw together in about 15 minutes. The website is plain, boring but functional. Here is the site, feel free to take a look and offer any thoughts. prorankings.com
This is something that I have been working on since 2001. I have developed a really unique system that allows me to rank just about anything. I have also had success processing very large numbers. One of my projects involved ranking from #1 all the way down to to #35,000 - which updated weekly with realistic results.
At this point in time I am stuck. I am not sure how to turn this project into an actual business. There are many opportunities including direct advertising for popular pro sports pages, and a subscription service for those want our service for their projects or events.
I am currently working on one partnership opportunity with a very large sports website. Which is why I need to hurry up and get my act together.
Over the years I have dabbled in Internet Marketing and created small niche and affiliate sites. Those experiences have taught me a couple things about myself.
What I am considering is commissioning or licensing out my services to one or more people who are capable of marketing and selling the product/service. Perhaps turning over my entire brand/website over to someone who has the experience and interest in web development and marketing. I am willing to give up a large percentage of the revenue.
Perhaps I can license to someone who keeps 100% of the revenue they generate and pay me a fee for the actual services I render.
Is there a better way to go? Any thoughts? I love brainstorming.

- I hate writing. It was taking me 90 minutes to write a simple 500 word article.
- I have no interest, skill or talent for creating or modifying websites
