Well, it’s about time I posted again. I have really good news:
I got engaged!
Just kidding. The real news is a bit more mundane, but still very exciting, for me at least. I contacted a large number of website owners with offers to purchase their websites. One of the owners was not ready to sell his website, but agreed to form a partnership with me in which I would improve the website (focusing on increasing revenue) and we would split the revenue 50/50.
That by itself is not so shabby, but I am an entrepreneur, so I am looking not only for income, but also equity. So I emailed him last night offering to become a partner not only for website development, but also for the business as a whole. It was a bit gutsy, but I believe my argument was sound. Now I am waiting for his response.
This is the most exciting thing I am doing right now. My classes and the New York nightlife are fun, too, but for the first time, I am actually BEING an entrepreneur and not only talking about it.
I would love to hear your comments!
gutsy. how much did you pay?
So far, nothing.
He has not responded to my request yet… but I think he does not check email on the weekends…
Dang! Congratulations! Hope it all goes well for you!!!
Thanks, Joanna! I appreciate that.
Stumbled across your website on the internet, my name is also “Chris Haueter!”
I live in Redondo Beach (L.A.) Just thought it was sort of weird, rare firstname-surname/american combo?
The other Chris Haueter:
