New WebEquity blog

Hi there. Welcome to the shiny new WebEquity.org blog.

I’m not entirely sure what WebEquity needs a blog for, but it seemed like a good idea anyway.

To bring you up to speed…WebEquity is a community website I created at the start of August 2008 to publicise my web business ideas with the aim of recruiting developers to work on them on an equity and/or revenue sharing basis. These aren’t just “wouldn’t it be good” type ideas…they are typically ideas that have a solid business plan and good revenue potential, I just don’t have the time to develop them myself.

If you have web business development skills (techy or otherwise) you register on the site (for free), which allows you to contact any of the project originators to get involved in their projects. If you have an idea for a web business, you register (again, for free) and post the project online and interested community members contact you.

The site was originally launched in Australia, but I’ve expanded the site to include communities in Canada, the UK and the US. I believe in regionalisation as one of the aims of WebEquity was to stimulate local interactions. There’s nothing preventing anyone contacting community members from another region, though.

The site has attracted around 160 members to date, and roughly 12 projects have been posted. I’ve been very impressed by the quality of both the projects and the community members. The site already boasts a broad range of skills and experience that would benefit many online business projects.

The aim now is to broaden the reach of WebEquity by publicising the international communities, and also to create some feedback about project successes…ah-ha!…that’s why I needed the blog!
