Fairly making money by sub-contracting - New Business Startup

I try things no matter if someone says it's a waste of time.

Like trying to break through a brick wall by running at it head first.... I bet you luv my posts....

And NASA's pen failed because they tried. I have not. Big difference. I try things no matter if someone says it's a waste of time. I'm not re-inventing any wheels here.

I'm not knocking you for tying, but going against what you've been told on here is akin to the Russians knowing that a pencil will work, ignoring advice, and spending millions trying to reinvent the pencil.

I wish you well, I hope you have very deep pockets, or are lucky enough to find someone daft enough to fund you.

What if those bricks are made of plastics?

Actually 15 customers (home owners) told me it's a good idea plus two well-known companies said the same. Now 15 customers are good to start with.

I'm a developer myself and I have little cash for server hosting and that's all I need along with those 15 customers.

Why don't you make an app that checks if a house has had a survey. If it has then you can view it for £1.

The reason why I say that is the first house I had a survey done on has faulty foundations. I kicked off at the estate agents cause they must have known this before I spent hundreds of pounds getting the survey done.

I wish I could have send the survey so someone and then the next person who wants a survey on the house will not waist lots of money like I did.

Hosting, so £10 a month - where's the money for all the tee-shirts and advertising going to come from ?

About the business

We advertise heavily. We give you t-shirts and mobile app.

Hope it does go as planned, but personally I cant see it working, the way you have described it.

Hosting for web apps ranges from £35+ a month. I have x amount of cash for tees. Advertising: facebook and trade shows. I know where my targeted audiences are.

I feel I have not worded properly. I'll have a re-read of what Ive said later.

This is just another typical example of someone trying to get involved in something they obviously know nothing about. Most bigger domestic customers/jobs DO NOT work in a such a set way, and most of them want and appreciate a personal involvement and willingness to discuss things ON THE GROUND as jobs progress. As someone said at the beginning, this is just rated people.
It goes like this for your information: Customer rings sparky, sparky goes round to customer, discusses job, agrees a price. Sparky does job, along with any other "while you are here" bits, makes customer happy, gets paid, goes back next time, simple. Everyone is happy. If it ain't busted don't try and fix it, that's what wrong with things these days.........
