it´s always the question of the contract in detail... when the contract does not help, courts can. but be aware that it´s always like russian roulette, if you negotiate an online case, with a judge, who possibly does not even know facebook or understands the term "blog"...

Thank you very much for your clarification. the paypal & ebay example made me think. ;)

a "closer-to home" market would be easier for sure, and we are also thinking about it. but the issue is more or less similar - you need a local with an existing network or somebody with real passion to push the product to partners / clients with different marketing campaigns (content marketing, blogger relations, exhibitions, direct mailings, forums, blogs,...)

affiliate model is an options as well. the easiest push would be through webhosting companies or marketing agencies, who offer the product as upselling product to their existing clients and get some rev-share, i guess.

regarding the razors & shaving cream partnership. the idea is generally a good one (in theory). we already have some local partners (mostly online marketing agencies), but they usually don´t have the time/capacity/motivation to push a product from somebody else for a 40% share of a (small) monthly fee, as they don´t see the value in passive long-term recurring revenue.

yes, equity part and freedom in product development, but there are options like a separate US company with shared equity. Looking forward to your email (ctc details in my profile).

1b) Where should you start looking for such a marketing-partner?

Awesome idea. Would be great to see some test results, once you test it.

where are the 130k from? which countries?

awesome. i wish you all the best with the tools start. :)

looks great, will give it a try.

which campaign types are currently supported? which library have you used for coding the algos?

The main question for me is - what exactly should your co-founder do? which skills / knowledge required?

SEEKING FREELANCER - remote

we are currently looking for a backend JS dev (node / sails) for an interesting project which will become international. Currently we have a team of 2 developers and me as the marketing guy & owner. Our main focus is to ship out a cool product and have great fun developing the product together.

technology node.js / sails.js angularJS Socket.io Redis / MongoDB

project We are currently working on a product which will help marketing guys to make right decisions. Details by skype / e-mail. :)

workload 20-25 hours / week

If you are interested, please reach out and share some sample code / apps you have built.

email: wusatiuk {at} gmail {.dot.} com

I would also suggest not to look for a cofounder, per se. Try to get a working MVP and get some progress yourself. Even if you are a pure software guy, you are easily able to learn the 1x1 of business development as biz dev is nothing more than 0 and 1. :) I mean, the rules are the same for code & business. There are some variables, some loops, some functions, that is it.

I would not specifically search for a cofounder, but search for the right people who can help you to push the product, even without getting 30% of your company. people who like to talk about idea, help you with daily problem startup problems,...

within a very short time, you will learn much about people, how they act and you will soon find one or more people who are really interested in pushing you project forward.

just because i am curious - is the tool planned for the european or us market?

Are you looking for a technical co-founder or a co-founder in the marketing / business fields?

I think if the idea is a good one, and you don´t have a co-founder yet, try to get some cash and hire one or more freelancer instead of giving away 50% of your company for some days / weeks of work. It depends on your strategiy, the idea, the potential, cashflow planning,...

I would suggest that you do a business model / business plan, at least a small one, first, so that you have something to show to potential investors / co-founders.

the idea behind it is generally an awesome one. the problem is that google will recognize the terms, the searches without a click on a result,... and it´s any easy one to identify such simple "smoke bombs" for google. Thousands of robots are searching for things on google(e.g. all ranking monitoring tools). I guess, but that is for sure just a guess, that google will be able to filter automated tools. If you make random clicks and maybe add your random wordlist... could be helpfull.

would love to see a dutch betatester as well. please contact me on g+ / skype to setup a testaccount.

generally a good idea but we need some kind of conference system, if there is a meeting at office #1 with e.g. four people, to connect the one or another colleague form office #2.

wow, cool. i´ll give it a try to connect our offices... looks really great!

cool. anybody using conference call equipment for skype? We have tried some logitech quipment to connect 2 offices (http://www.logitech.com/de-de/product/tvcam-hd) which didn´t work out very well. any recommendations?

got a project in beta (http://www.calltracking.at/ - currently german only, will soon launch the english version at http://www.calltracking.net) which will give you the chance to track phonecalls in your web analytics , depending on the traffic source the visitor is coming from. I see a huge opportunity, especially in the B2B segement and in explanation-intensive products and services. beta testers / investors / buyers welcome.

I was on kimsufi server for the last 3.5 years for all european projects from small to medium sized and we never had any problem with one of the servers. the last few weeks we are switching partly into the cloud and partly on an OVH Host-32 server.

price-performance ration at Kimsufi is fine from my point of view. I guess anybody who is ordering a VPS for 8€ / month should know that he will not get the latest technology in his box, but for the one or another usecase, such boxes are awesome.

3 weeks at the beginning of jan is no big issue. After christmas / new year in a big part of the world, where rarely anybody is starting new project.

The most important part is that your expenses are covered, so you should have some $$ on your saving account to survive the next 12 month without earning a single $. Then i guess freelance could be an awesome option for your.

Your could also try, to acquire a long-term project as a freelancer for a better start.

i guess that this idea could work out very well, if you can get the costs low and the "catch-rate" high. :)

From my experience, and I started all my projects with freelancers. I was very lucky with russian and ukraine developers but also polish & czech developers seem to have kind of the right working attitude.

The main issues I had with indian developers is the "yes yes culture". It seems that their culture does not allow to say "no, it won´t be ready" or "no, it will take longer...". They always say "yes, sir", "for sure, sir". this is something I can not work with.

Clickbank possibly

Spotify, moz.com, semrush, strucr.com, seolyze, sistrix, ahrefs, github, dropbox, pingdom,...

Please let me know some more details. If you have some european offices, please let me know.

We are also using lastpass at it is simply comfortable for sharing accounts. I fully agree that there will always be a way to sniff the details if you are using such a centralized password manager for web-login.
