Mr Akhtar,

please, please, please, learn to give as much information as possible when posting.

You will probably now get a lot of spam from chancers, scammers and useless developers. You might get some good people contact you - please do not post your contact details unless you are happy to get spam!

Also, please put more details in your questions, like what you want the site to do, who your audience is etc, otherwise you will get a lot of poor, repetitive and maybe rude responses.

Given the questions he's asked (and businesses he wants to set up), it seems the OP is like a cloud in the sky . . . . fashion business one day, members club another day, what's next?

The tone, spelling, and lack of detail make me think this isn't a serious project.

Paul.

Mixed messages here. In another thread you mention a shoe string budget yet here you want to discuss a project that will likely cost thousands to develop and 10 times that to market.

 

[japancool]

You mention 100,000 members.

Do you already have these members, or are you trying to get them? I suspect the latter, so how big is your marketing budget? Because you're going to need a lot of money to persuade people to sign up to your site.

I certainly wouldn't be worrying about a meeting venue at this point.

That’s why I’m looking for quotes. I’ve found a possible investor

Yet, just 4 hours later, you set up a thread here specifically looking for one!

....you're intentionally wasting people's time.

I’m here for information maybe people should stop spamming or writing useless medsages

If you want information you need to tell us a lot more about your business plans. You have been asked a number of questions none of which you have answered.

If you have a potential investor as you indicated maybe they are the one you need to be talking to.

You have provided NO information about what you are trying to do beyond "private members' club". How do you expect anyone to be able to provide you with information?

 

[simon field]

Give the good folks of the forum some DETAILS please!

 

[Diamondz76]

Hi id like to discuss in more in private with the right person. I am looking fir an IT web developing Company to make the website. Here are s few details features login, membership subscription site, tier system. Members listing and members directory. Also be able to upload events and have a guestlist. SEO optimized. These are some if the features required. Would like a quote so I Can get idea.

Sometimes this kind of statement can be useful:

....you're intentionally wasting people's time.

Those with the drive, resilience and determination to suceed with their new venture in a highly competitive and crowded market tend to respond along the lines of:
"I didn't say already, but I have a proven concept and/or great relationship with xyz, and/or an MVP, and/or a forecast that shows how I will achieve xyz, and/or a small but growing number of engaged users, and/or a team who can help with xyz, etc etc"

In contrast, your response was:

I’m here for information maybe people should stop spamming or writing useless medsages

Which confirms that I was right, as whilst talking about launching an online/offline members club, you have no premises, no online presence, no members, no money, no team, and no plan to achieve it.

You simply expect others to provide their time / skills / money to you whilst providing no good reason for them to do so.

I wish I could post images, because there is a Dilbert cartoon which sums this up to a tee

In essence

'I have a great idea, All I need is some seed capital and a programmer to develop it'

Response: 'I believe the economic term for what you have is 'nothing''

(It loses a lot in translation)


To the OP

You clearly have no working knowledge of business - which is fine. That's where we all start out.

If you ask good questions you will find this forum to be a goldmine of advice & information.

On the other hand, if you come here asking for hand outs or for people to work for nothing, you will get short thrift - just as you will out there in the harsh world of business.

My advice

Focus on one idea
Start to think about the practicalities of running it as an actual business

- People
- Processes
- marketing
- cashflow. Lots of work there!

Come on here and ask clear questions. Lots and lots of them.

In 2 years time you might be ready to think about investment.

How did you post that?

I reckon you're getting special treatment.

the only option I get under insert image is a URL

I wish I could take @Mark T Jones reply and post it at the top if here for all, I may ask someone to do so.
The quality of answers given in any place, not just on here but in any walk of life, directly match in effort and value to the effort and value given in the question. Ask as detailed quality question and you'll almost always get a detailed and quality answer.

However, as an example, this is a membership site and I'm investing several hundred thousand pounds a year into the development and the marketing of this site. More than quarter of a million pounds a year, each year, for the next few years. If you don't have that a budget that gets into those figures to develop and market such a platform then you will likely need to source more funding. Writing a well researched and competitor analysed business plan will help you find what budget you need.

 

[japancool]

Yeah, I get that too - I googled for the cartoon and inserted a link to it using that option. I don't think there's any way to upload the actual image.

Cunning!

You young people & your Googles!

 

[japancool]

You young people

???

 

[YasmeenLondon]

Lots.

+ VAT lol

In all seriousness, OP you need to write a more detailed brief that includes:

A summary of your proposed business

Who are your target audience

What are your business and website goals?

What features will the website have?

Who are your direct and indirect competitors

Similar/inspiration websites

Mention any technical requirements.

Content (this is a big one) What content do you currently have (images, graphics, branding, videos, icons, etc etc) and what content do you need

Project budget (Content budget, Website budget, SEO budget, Marketing Budget)

And only then can someone understand your needs and provide you a quote.

Good luck.
