Funding/Partnership for active websites

[Tripper44]

Hi all

I am looking for funding/partnership and/or advice for two running web based projects with the potential to earn profits from advertising.

Minimobs.com
This is a social networking widget that can be embedded into users social networking page or blog, myspace and facebook etc. Due to the nature of this application it has the ability to market itself virally, through back links via every user that includes the service on their site. Recent statistics have shown that out of 10,000 visitors approx 30-40% have visited due to viral back links to the site, its currently growing at a rate of 100-150 users a day.

Widgets are becoming ever more popular due to the rise of social networking sites such as myspace and I see massive potential in marketing this project to that type of audience. It currently has coverage over 5 of the big social networking sites and has also been integrated into the new facebook platform, due to the nature of this widget it also has the potential for advertising to its users through the widget itself.

Allfaceoff.com
A user generated site that allows you to setup your own competitions or face-offs between two items e.g Coke vs Pepsi and so on. Users of the site can then vote on these items and help promote traffic for their entries. This sites form of revenue would be from advertising, the site currently has related ads shown throughout which relate to keywords from the users entries. I feel this also has the means to spread virally due to the users ability to help promote their entries via social bookmarking web sites. I see potential in a user generated site such as this due to the success of sites like digg.com in recent months.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel the success for both of these projects stands with generating the initial traffic through some form of marketing. I then see these having the ability to grow independently due to user interaction and/or their viral nature.

If you are interested in either please contact me I am open to mutually beneficial link/advertising exchanges, partnerships and/or advice, as I guess my main reason for posting is to find someone with experience in business/marketing to really push these ideas forward.

Thanks

Hi,

I maybe interested in taking up a partnership for this venture however I would like to see a business plan first. If I do like the idea my contribution would be investment with a view of taking a % of the company.

Have you got any other ideas which you are also working on?. Do you work on this full time?. Where are you based?.

In terms of a advertising/marketing compaign a strategic plan needs to be put in place with a person executing it full time which I can help with.
