Mines on hold until he completes his, as there is simply no point competing with the exposure he has had.
I have some ideas which Ive started taking a bit of action on for the New Year once his is done though. The gimmick wont work too much, so had to think of another way to get visitors to the site which I think Ive done.
Have made a decent amount from it though for the amount of time it took!

Cosmos site is actually better that that other dudes site, problem is he needs to get the exposure on it

No, the problem is it's a blatant rip off of someone elses idea, which has been done very successfully by the other guy.
It's like me making an operating system called Microshaft Doors and trying to sell it

it's "peaked" shall we say in exclusitivity, problem was it could always have been copied and that removed the exclusitivity.
Now a few similar versions have arrived there's no point in companies using them so much as people will just ignore it or take them with a pinch of salt as a get quick rich scheme.

yeah, and there is about a 1,000,000 more than that aswell.
You just have to find a way to stand out and make them come to your website over the others, which as I mentioned above hopefully done!

or a guy opening up a clothes store once M&S have done it, or Burger King opening up once Maccy D's had....oh shit thats business and is what happens!
