>>> Is this a good biz idea?

Bottom line is this forum is to share knowledge/tips/advice and learn from each other. If you're going to leave a comment on a thread make sure it's useful and doesn't bash anyone.

I'm a 54 year old grandfather. I'd be surprised if you don't get
some 'polite education' from some of the female Warriors about
your sexist remark.

You said "thanks for the smart ass comment bringing 0 value into
the thread". That's polite? Judging by your comments, I have my
doubts that you appreciated my remark, it wasn't even aimed at
you.

You don't care about your reputation in the warrior forum? That's
an interesting concept. I for one do care about my reputation, in
here, and in some other forums too.

Had you read about the business model I was referring to in my
first post in this thread, you would know that I was talking about a
local plumber. And of course, I can be expanded to include other
traders too. I only work in ethical businesses. Strangley enough,
when talking about workable business models, prostitution, drug
trafficking, burglary are not the first things that spring to my mind.

Did I not mention that you sell leads to three plumbers in my op?
The industry is huge, certainly here in the UK and tradesmen, and
women are looking for ways to generate better quality leads, and
at a better price than they currently pay. People that know me,
know I have several strings to my bow, selling leads to local
businesses is one of them.

Even an affiliate marketer has to work with other peoples performance.
They have to rely on the vendor providing what they say they'll provide,
otherwise refund rates are gonna be high.

I don't take offence to everything you say, only when you tell me
that I'm making a smart ass comment, and add zero value to this
thread.

I do disagree, if you handle your lead generation websites well, you
can make good money. Of course there are flaws with a lot of
business plans, but generally, you sort them out as you go along.
I simply offered a low risk alternative to the original plan.

As for my friend, yes this is going to be his main business when he
hands his roofing contractor business over to his partner. He
expects to make over £2,000,000 per annum in the next three
years. That's pounds sterling I'm talking about, or over $3,250,000
FYI, my friend is a very successful businessman, and this is it not a
dumb decision at all. He has a clear strategy that already works
very well throughout the world. He's just adding my unique twist
on things, using my systems to cut down on his advertising costs.

I didn't mention at all about relying on other people, I showed a
way to profit without having to rely on them. Selling leads to three
trades folk is a good system for the people needing a service,
because they get three competitive quotes, it's good for trades
folks, because they get better leads, and at better prices, and
good for the lead seller, because they cut their risk. If one plumber
doesn't pay up, you still have two more who will, and you simply
replace the non payer. Win-Win-Win.

Your smart ass comment was intended to offend, otherwise why
mention that you think I've added zero value in this thread? The
value I added in my OP isn't up to you to decide, nor me. People
will ether like my ideas, or not, so it's up to them to decide on the
value I added. If it helps just one person, then job done.
