Micro-Stock Exchange for Internet Marketers

"Micro-Stock Exchange for Internet Marketers"

Is there such a thing?

IMer needs $1,000 either to start or expand and decides to raise money by getting listed on the Micro-Stock Exchange for Internet Marketers. Now, his ebook or affiliate site can be marketed to the maximum of its potential and "investors get a piece of the action". Win/Win. Everybody happy.

Thoughts?

    interesting but...

    if you need money to launch a product then odds are investors lose their money, you are a newbie or not very good

    if you are very good, then you don't need money to launch a product, investors sit on the sideline.

    I can't think of anyone that is halfway good at making money online that would need a loan to launch a product. but maybe I'm wrong?

      I don't know how the NASDAQ works but I assume that it would be run similarly.

      If Im not mistaken it would cost millions just to deal with the SEC just to get started. I really don't think even venture capitalist would play with such small amounts. If you were established and had a realy big Idea that you could pitch, then regular investors might get behind you.

    In the recent times, I've been seeing quite a few money-getting(literally) products. One was a Business Credit System from Shawn Casey and the other was a 90 Minute Cash Advance from Tellman Knudson. Personally, these would be better ideas to raise cash for a launch?

    If all you need is $1,000, then you can borrow the money or get a second job for a little bit.

    What you're talking about isn't Nasdaq, it's the Pink Sheets. Lack of accounting, regulation and company size.

    The only venture capitalist that would play along would be your friends and relatives. If you can't come up with even $1,000 then you're not qualified to succeed....that's how they will see it.

      Actually, I'm talking from the point of view of being an investor - the horse bettor not the horse.

      But I would like to be one of many investors not a sole investor of one IMer. The fact that there are other people who are willing to invest in someone gives me the sense of safety in numbers. Thus, the question about a "stock exchange".

      Another thing. I come from the world of professional poker and many successful poker players choose to get staked even though they could easily afford their own buy ins. In fact, some of them are multi-millionaires. But they choose to get staked because it gives them an upside without any downside. In fact, some of these rich players are getting staked for tournaments with the buy in of a mere $1,000. They get 20% to 40% share of the profits without risking their own money. And the investors? They are playing 1 dollar limit while the horse is playing 200-400 limit. They would rather let others play with their money as they play for recreation at the low limits.
