Whats your money going on?
Welcome to the cheekiest site on the web
Its pretty much asking for your hard earned cash in exchange for very little work from me!
Ill tell you now, im not promising any benefit whatsoever to your good self!

Ok, so whats the big idea?

 

Well its simple. This is a test to see the power of the Internet…and well the generosity of mankind I suppose. And its also one giant advertising tool as well. Not a pretty one, not a complicated one, but a very very cheap one. Leave messages, make a statement etc etc

What I’m asking for is a donation of ten pence to the site, and in exchange, Ill stick your name up on the site. Ooohhh aren’t I generous eh? But not just your name, a photo, a web link, what ever you want really. Business, pleasure, pain or leisure, all for ten pence.

Anything else?

Well the larger he donation, the higher the donation, the bigger the font your name gets! So if you make a donation of 10p, the standard donation, your name appears like this.."John Smith". If you make a 5 p donation, just below the standard, your name appears like this "John Smith". Should you decide to donate 20 p, your name will be like this John Smith and so on. The biggest font available is like this " John Smith" and that would mean a donation of 50 pence. Any higher and the font ain’t getting bigger!

Along the side, you’ll see the top ten. These are the true buddies of the site. They are the most recent donators above the ten pence mark.

Whats in it for me?

The link for this site is about to be sent around a few offices. Once it gets round those, it gets round a few more, and a few more, and a few more and…well you get the picture. Think of the likes of subservientchicken.com and mousebreaker.com - How many of you first got those links on a random email and then hit the site? Well this time when they hit the site they have a list of peoples names in various sizes and colours, where they are from (optional), a little photo of absolutely anything if they want, or a web link to your home or a favourite site.

All its gonna cost you is a small donation made by paypal.

IMPORTANT! - When paying by paypal, dont forget to put your message into the special instructions box!!!!!

Whats the donation going towards then.

I wont lie. Its not going to go to a million and one good charities. (Although if you want to put a charities link on the site, make a 5p donation and ill stick your details on in the biggest font anyway)

Ill put on the site a running total of how much has been raised and from whom. Ill also put up a receipt of anything its been spent on. Now I’m not some high roller so don’t expect it to be going on celebrity parties. Maybe a new top, or petrol for my car. Some cleaning products for the house. Stuff like that. Some upgrades to the site as well of course to make it better. If anyone has ideas on what to spend it on, just tell me by mailing the site.

Who the hell are you

Well, I’m just Joe public. This isn’t some scam although 99% of you reading this will think it is. I’m not a company trying to get rich or get your email addresses. I don’t need them; just need your name to put in the site. I won’t send you junk mail, and won’t pass any details on to anyone else. The money wont fund terrorism, drugs (except headache tablets should the money get spent on booze) or crime. It won’t be put into anything illegal, and will if I’m honest, just get whittled away on rubbish. I expect the site to make at most, £100. Would love to be proved wrong of course as if I was Id sponsor some local football team or good cause from it.

For every £50 raised Ill start putting a little snapshot of me on the site so you can see who I am. I won’t reveal myself totally and keep the suspense for all 7 hits I expect to achieve.

Anyway, you’ve read the site – not even considered making a donation probably, but do me a favour, pass the link on to your mates, colleagues etc anyone you know!

This isn’t a scam, its not an attempt to get bank details, its quite simply a request for donations to a web site in exchange for your name being put on the web with a few details that you request. The site will be published through a number of mediums, flyer drops in big cities, emails, posters etc. Its not an attempt to deprive hard working charities of their money, and indeed they will receive publicity through this site. Ill happily put their links on here in big brash font! Tell your friends about the site and see if they feel like giving.

Incidently, for anyone outside of the UK, 10 pence is not really very much at all. Its not a great amount but you can check out the current conversion rate at http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi

REMEMBER! When donating through Paypal, dont forget to include your comments that you want published!
