Here is your chance to become rich
Forget real estate, forget stocks, forget the McDonald's Monopoly game. This is your chance to be rich.
Thanks to an idea from reader Travis over at the Throwing Hammers blog, we have decided to offer you the opportunity of a lifetime by holding a little contest.
First, allow me to explain something about the Playaz. We are, of course, rich. Not from any effort or hard work of our own, but through our business model that is Playaz, Incorporated. Playaz, Inc. allows the Playaz to live lavish lifestyles through investors and business associates who wish to give us money in exchange for our business. We are 'business men'. Do you have a some business that requires money to exchange hands for goods or services? Consult with Playaz, Inc. We will take that money, take our share, then pass the remainder of that money to the appropriate party or parties. That's how we do business.
Another example is this website. It is hosted and designed by a very successful international corporation for free. Why? Because this particular company realizes it is simply good business to provide the Playaz with a service based on our demands, and thereby be able to associate themselves with us, which will in turn make them more money (after our cut, of course). Our jets, our beach houses, minks, etc., are all courtesy of an 'angel investor', or venture capitalist, if you will, who provides the Playaz capital in exchange for the Playaz providing themselves with whatever it is we want. This person makes nothing on the return of their investment. That's just how we roll.
BUT, we are willing to do something extraordinary and make you rich, just like us.
We will give you until November 11, 2005 to send to the Playaz your best idea, invention, investment opportunity, etc. You put up all the money. We choose the best idea and then we will feature it on our blog, which will lend the idea instant credibility. If the idea is truly good, as we expect it will, you do all the work to implement the plan which will then make money and we will both share in the profit.
The idea of this contest is for you to come up with an idea that you feel will suit the Playaz, maybe even somehow promote us in the process. Tell us how much money it will cost, and the steps taken to make the idea succeed. Be as creative as you can. Use visual aides if necessary.
Once you've done that, email your idea to playazball1@yahoo.com. We will then vote on the winner and announce it here on our site. You may ask us any questions you have in the comments section below.
Good luck!

Brainstorming...

While I certainly appreciate the notoriety, I do recall suggesting that The Playaz put up the seed money, rather than us. (Can't say that I'm entirely shocked by this fiscal 180 though. After all, I suppose the key to being a Playa is not only spending lots of money, but making sure it's someone else's money.)
However, I fear that this contest may be over before it starts, because if Cookie is willing to take certain photos, then imagine what this woman with do with a serious budget at her disposal...

Er... I meant "will do."
I'm a moron.
Posted by: Travis at November 1, 2005 10:25 AM
Travis - don't give up so easily!
And, you are right, you did suggest it that way - this is considered how a "normal" venture capital deal would work - but our business model simply isn't structured that way. So you will have to provide the captial to implement your idea. Our stamp of approval will be your key to riches. After, of course, you pay us our fee.

How about a line of ice cream? It worked for Ben and Jerry, and you guys are better looking than them.
Posted by: Matt Henderson at November 1, 2005 1:01 PM
Excellent idea Matt. Perhaps a goose flavored ice cream would be something we could get behind.
Think outside the box Travis. As Phil stated, "normal" business models have to be put aside. Think like a playa. I know that is hard, but just try. Surrender to us your ideas and your money, and riches will surely follow.

Let's not help the contestants, Bon! Matt needs to lay out his plan and send it to us. Otherwise, I'll assume, Matt, that you aren't interested in the goose-flavored ice cream and we will proceed with producing it and reaping the profits all to ourselves.

I once convinced a beggar to give me $10. It was then that I knew I was a "Businessman."

Idea submitted, Playaz!
Posted by: Sethro at November 1, 2005 5:27 PM
I have taken a peek at Sethro's idea and he is on the right track...
Posted by: Phil at November 1, 2005 5:36 PM
I don't have any ideas, just money- is that OK?
Posted by: dcsportschick at November 1, 2005 6:07 PM
DC, You might just desire an appearance by the Playaz at your home or office. We have a small appearance fee that, as a wealthy individual, you might be able to afford. Wayne handles all our bookings, so just correspond with him all of your interest. We are currently reviewing our latest proposal from Maklumedia to address their annual meeting.
Posted by: Bon at November 1, 2005 6:50 PM
Well, you have until Nov 11th to think of one.
Posted by: Phil at November 1, 2005 8:18 PM
Sounds like a Playa Pyramid Scheme to me...
;)

Thanks. My whole next 9 days is shot now. How can I possibly focus on my sons, my wife, UGA getting beat, Tech winning, the big MNF game coming up next Monday, etc, when there is this kind of offer on the table. The business model is pure genius and the innovation that the world will see through the brain matter represented here will change us all forever. I suggest a live webcast of the winner on November 11. The gracious man in Europe who runs this site for you (gratis) can surely swing that.
Thinking.....

It is quite simple, Rob. You avoid the family at all costs in order to concentrate on this task. Ask them to go out of town for a few days, if necessary.

I haven't generated my new business model yet, but some one-time money-making schemes (Playaz take 80/20)
- Blogette Bachelorette Bikini Auction
- 'Save Guvna' campaign (much like Save Ferris)
- Charge for people to get their fortune told by the Beaver
Posted by: dc_cookie at November 2, 2005 4:49 PM
Wow cookie! They are all quite wise ideas, but you may have outdone yourself with the last one. Not sure that idea will be topped. I will warn you though, the beaver does not say much, but when she speaks she is oh so wise.
