Excuse Our Vast Omnidirectional Growth...



10 Domains In Search Of An Investor:


Depending on where you surfed in from, we have the following things to tell you:


  1. We know we have "too many" irons in the fire.
  2. No one could ever tell us, "too many cooks spoil the soup". Are we getting into the soup making business too?
  3. If man was made to fly, he would be been born with wings, may be the stupidest concept the our number optimist ever heard.
  4. If I can't find anyone to help build this thing I am simply going to have to do it myself! 
We have openings in the following divisions:


WebSiteWealth.Org
Is this something you like to write about? The number one requirement is that you actually  are currently producing an income from Web Site Development that could support a small family based on typical hours.


ZenMasterHost.com
If you were given a strict $5,000 yearly budget, would you invest in domains, or start a non-profit organization? If a website is up and its domain name servers fail one day, yet under 30 people per month actually visit the website, did the website go down?

WebCoupon.US
Sure we have heard of Groupon ( who hasn't ) yet when we bought this domain, Groupon was just a gleam in the eye of it's developer.


WebCloudApp.org
Your asking me if I designed the app? NEXT!


WebBarter.org
Everyone who wants to advertise on our Websites, yet does not want to pay suggests this idea. I am still figuring out if man can live on barter alone.

VentureInvent.com
Yes we thought of Invent-A-Venture.com too, what do you think, we may be a lot of things, but we are not amateurs.

FindMyAngel.org
We thought it might be necessary to develop this domain, just in case our domain equity line of credit does not go through.

FindVenturePartners.com
If I was lucky enough to be a married man, I suppose my wife could simply tell me to do this. Either that or I could write myself and endless series of yellow post-it, and keep them in front of me everywhere I go.


TrialBalance.org
We just fell in love with this darling domain. Think of it, it works for both accounting firms and well as for criminal law firms!



FindCashQuickly.com
See the explanation provided under FindVenturePartners.com. Did I hear someone say something about a domain equity line of credit?


All interested investors (or developers with money) please submit inquiries to: SocCloud1@gmail.com with: "Domain Investor" in the subject heading.

Social Advertising.org

Social Advertising.org: "Which Is Why The Website That Will Will Custom Build For You Is One Element Of A Larger Plan Which Is Based On What You Want Your Website To Do For You. In Order to learn more about our social advertising services and custom web design packages, please provide us with a little information about you and what you are looking to accomplish with your website(s). * We have not yet completed our customer questionnaire, so please adress your inquires directly to SocCloud1@gmail.com"

Dr. Toy's Toy History Timeline

Dr. Toy's Toy History Timeline: "This beginning was the beginning of our modern toys and games that we play with so much. Both as adults and children. And yet think how often someone comes up to the edge of a small lake and skips a stone across that flat water today. Possibly using that same small stone that our ancient relatives used.

As you read through Dr. Toy's time line you might want to think about the different toys described and how they really started as that first simple stick, or stone; bone, or pool of cool, clear water; so many years ago.

Men, women, and children have all loved to have fun with toys since their very beginning. And probably always will."

Retro Revival - TIME

Retro Revival - TIME: "all-but-forgotten childhood treats from the 1950s and '60s like pumpkin seeds, licorice pipes, candy necklaces, Necco Wafers and Boston Baked Beans, Groovy Candies is one of several nostalgia candy sellers that are unabashedly hawking such Proustian moments. Sales are booming: Groovy Candies' have risen from $50,000 to $3 million since the company was started in 1998. And it's not just candy. With the power of the Internet, other purveyors of childhood memories are resurrecting '50s-era toys and games, including wooden alphabet blocks with old-fashioned lettering and Fisher-Price Snoopy pull toys. They're also experiencing a surge in demand for best sellers from the 1940s like Slinkys, Nok Hockey and Uncle Wiggily. "The pendulum has swung back to these classic playthings," says Ken Moe, managing director of Back to Basics Toys, a company based in Herndon, Va., that specializes in old-time fun and games."

Entrepreneurial silver lining in today’s economic clouds at Navigating Venture

Entrepreneurial silver lining in today’s economic clouds at Navigating Venture: "The question is not “how capitalism administers existing structures, … [but] how it creates and destroys them.” This creative destruction, he believed, causes continuous progress and improves the standards of living for everyone."

Entrepreneurial silver lining in today’s economic clouds at Navigating Venture

Entrepreneurial silver lining in today’s economic clouds at Navigating Venture: "Schumpeter was among the first to lay out a clear concept of entrepreneurship. He distinguished inventions from the entrepreneur’s innovations. Schumpeter pointed out that entrepreneurs innovate not just by figuring out how to use inventions, but also by introducing new means of production, new products, and new forms of organization. These innovations, he argued, take just as much skill and daring as does the process of invention.

Innovation by the entrepreneur, argued Schumpeter, leads to gales of “creative destruction” as innovations cause old inventories, ideas, technologies, skills, and equipment to become obsolete."

All-Wright Site - a Frank Lloyd Wright Internet Guide

All-Wright Site - a Frank Lloyd Wright Internet Guide: "Does your house have an "open" floor plan? If so, then the way you live is being directly influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright's innovations in residential architecture. "Drawing inspiration from his native midwestern prairie, he coaxed Americans out of their boxlike houses and into wide-open living spaces that suited the American lifestyle" (Carla Lind, The Wright Style) Mr. Wright's "organic architecture" was a radical departure from the traditional architecture of his day, which was dominated by European styles that dated back hundreds of years or even millenia."

Barclay on Making Your Own Blocks - Kathryn Cramer

Barclay on Making Your Own Blocks - Kathryn Cramer: "realy am the target audience for the add for Barclay Blocks served up by Blogads. My son Peter is deeply interested in building with blocks. So I was looking around their site. Their page on how to make your own wooden blocks is surprisingly good. It contains such lines as If you value your fingers, forget the idea of using all that lovely scrap you've been saving. and Needless to say, you shouldn't buy treated lumber unless the kids have become a bother. Before I had two children, I used to take on this sort of thing sometimes. (One of these days I should write up instructions for some of the wonderful projects I did for Peter.) There are sets of blocks in the classrooms at my son's school and part of the little boy culture there seems to be using blocks to build buildings with endless traps for "borrowers," a tradiation Peter brought home with him."

Rubberwood Kit number 1 - Imported Economy Blocks from China

Rubberwood Kit number 1 - Imported Economy Blocks from China: "What can we say? This is our smallest set of blocks and gives the beginning child their first taste of Unit Blocks. For a trivial price, you can see if your youngster would like to play with this toy. Don't expect these Rubberwood blocks from China to be the same quality as American blocks, but they're not bad and for this price they can't be beat. Small children can see and name the different shapes and enjoy making small towers. If they like their blocks, you can always add more later."

WebSiteWealth.biz  Anticipates that Opportunities to Create and Develop Wealth on The World Wide Web Exist Right Now and Possibly well past the Year 2025.  


Right Here, Right Now, We are Developing Some Incredible Virtual Products Where We Will Be Needing People With Specific Talents and Abilities to Become Part of the Rapidly Expanding Web Site Wealth.biz Family. 



While others may shake their head in despair at whatever current cyclical economic cycle we may have currently embarked upon, we understand that with change always comes opportunity. The answer may not always be, to dig in and work harder. Often what is required is for us to collectively gather and  to work smarter.  

It is true that adversity is the test, that causes us to do our best thinking. However thinking alone will not allow any of else to prevail at the end of the day. We as a small and very creative and idealistic group of individuals who have decided to collaborate here on this very site, we realize that we are only several steps away from realizing our full potential. We do suggest that if you have somehow arrived at this site, during the very first summer of our existence, that you do not waste any time which we all possess, only in limited quantities. So we suggest that like so many other things, what you dont do right now, may indeed never get done.

Please take a comment right now and complete our simple enrollment form, there is no cost or obligation. We will simply send you some of the details of what we currently have in the hopper at WebSiteWealth.biz as well as a few links to our affiliated websites which are helping to build the sort of opportunities for wealth which have not been previously been available.

Craig Campbell – Family Man Lyrics with Video: "Craig Campbell – Family Man Lyrics

I’ve been working as a temp
At the local factory
I hope they hire me on full time
I’ve got shoes to buy
and a mouth to feed.

I drive a buy here, pay here truck
It ain’t new, but it is for me
It ain’t much but it fires right up
and get me from A to B

What puts the dirt underneath my nails
What keeps the calluses on my hands
