What if we form a FireSale Coop?

This idea came to mind earlier..It's not really a big suggestion, to me its more of just thinking out loud.

The idea came when after reading Kim's (re: Assisting Bev) and Andy's post earlier.

I thought what if from time to time (or during emergencies) several of us who's interested, in financial trouble (a newbie) or just want to do good works can easily form organized cooperative selling groups (here in this forum if the admin will allow).

Since we each have our own strengths, we could divide duties/work and then also divide the earnings based on the percentage of accomplishment based on assigned task.

Think of this like the squidoo system but is applied on a group basis.

An example would be:

1. A group will sell tools/ebooks related to affiliate marketing.
2. Some members will provide the tools/software/ebooks
3. Some members will provide the sales copies and articles
4. Some members will promote and deliver visitors

Now to measure accomplishments, we will have to declare how
much articles can we write for the project. example 30 a month.
How much traffic can we send a month, say 20,000 per month

if we accomplish those goals we get the correct share from earnings, if not then the percentage is computed based on delivery.

As for the actual money, we can have some reputable person or maybe organization to hold it in escrow until the end of the campaign. Then it's either paid to you or to an organization or individual you want to donate it to. Again, similar to the squidoo system.

I'm thinking this idea can help struggling newbies who's kind of lost.

This is just an idea. Now, if this happens, will you join?

Just thinking out loud...

Stick to giveaway events. What you're proposing falls into the herding cats category. Nice thought though.
