Dear WebMasters of Nairaland, I greet you all.

For the average NL member, this section is viewed as created for discussions on web issues and the facilitation of ideas balanced on the internet. Its the later I wish to speak about.

A quick survey through this section would find a number of ideas for apps, blogs, peer-to-peer services and their ilk (almost, because some of una be Dangote mate for money matter) all hampered by one thing: financing. Removing altruism, some of this ideas could be the next money spinning ventures that'd blaze the trail in previously rusty industries

My solution? Work for equity.

How, you said?

Simple, my man.

Web designers oft work short terms: walk in, arrange things, leave. Leaving the entrepreneur with tear-streaked cheeks because he knows that he doesn't know the head or tails of the whole matter. But the service has been rendered and money paid! That scenario is even better. In most cases, the (budding in this case) entreprenuer is still with tear-streaked cheeks because the idea is buzzing so loud in his head and on paper but the developer is telling him to bring N200,000 for a dynamic website with enough modules.

How much better it'd be if developers would, after of course evaluating the viability, market, placing et.al of the idea, agree to work for (legally denoted) stock in the idea as soon as it begins to post profits.

I tell you, the two parties gain. The developer works for ideas that he truly believes in; not just run-of-the-mill charades and therefore puts in his all. The originator brings in his contacts offline and online together with the dynamism of his developer and boom! A business is formed, and money is made.

Just incase, you were wondering if this is for you, give me a buzz at Jefferie.halo@gmail.com and let's see if we can create magic.
