Is zwee.com a good website?

I have a good website idea! How do I make this sort of website when I'm 16 years old?

  • Recently I submitted a website idea for the 1000 buck zinc scholarship where you had to write in a few sentences what would be your website idea. Well, I came up with this: A website where people can watch sponsor videos like advertisements and stuff, earn money by watching each video (from the sponsor, of course) and they can donate this money to a charity they choose. I would have lots of charity options on the website, such as feeding children in africa, building schools in africa, fighting against cancer, fighting against other various diseases, building more soup kitchens, etc. So after a user watches a video they would get a certain amount of money from the sponsor for watching it. 90% of that money they can donate to charity. Or they can save up in their account and donate it later. 10%, of course, would go to me. Hey, I need to make money somehow, right? This is a good idea, but how do I contact various charities and sponsors about this?

  • Answer:

    Please, delete your question. I am not sure if you plan on making a profit off this idea, but why would you publish the idea without having a patent first? Seriously? Use your head. EDIT: at some point, earning 10% would not be enough to cover your overhead. I still think you should delete your question and rephrase it as if to not offer any information. Right now, I could take your idea and make it into reality.... and I would be the one getting the money. Get my point?

It would seem that any advertising revenue system could be adapted to route the revenue too charities. There would be a better chance of initial success if it didn't rely on the advertisers only using your site or even their having to be aware of the charity slant. This way, a standard ad network that pays sites for viewers could be used. Ultimately this plan could fail because the value of passive ad views is too low, commonly ads are sold at a Cost Per 1000 (CPM) basis. prices vary considerably, but earning $5 per 1000 views would be pretty good, that would amount to a 1/2 cent donation per view, probably not a motivating factor. Your plan shares some features with Pay To Click (PTC) schemes which pays the users some 4 cents a click. Another ad revenue sharing site, Clickbank, kick back part of the bounty they receive from advertisers for your participating in various marketing schemes, users earn some fraction of the ad revenue the site and various middlemen earn from the merchant, if a charity got paid instead of the user it might be earning perhaps 20% of the merchants ad cost. Those charities who put their name on car donation programs earn just a couple of dollars per car, the business doing the promotion gets the lion's share, some of your good will clothing donations end up being sold as rag scrap for 4 cents a pound. You might review the model these various Ad Revenue sharing sites use, you should be able to just add the user/contributor payment to charity option and perhaps lower the hose cut. Odds you would need an 18 year old to be a legal proxy where money changes hands. You would need to have a registered non profit for credibility.
