Colossus is doing much better than expected which is why you haven't heard from me lately. Despite not being completely setup (I won't do the first test of a mass mailing on that site for another day or so), we already are only $200/month short of being able to cover our monthly T-1 bill. Once the dust settles at Colossus, it is expected that this venture will be quite profitable.
We are using a lot of software robots to increase our business and streamline our operations. I was particularly amused when a consultant asked if Yahoo had sold their mailing lists to us as our "hunt and destroy" robot targetted various categories on Yahoo, collected their e-mail addresses, and then sent them junk mail. The consultant correctly figured that it would be nearly impossible to get the Yahoo information by hand.
We are using a lot of tricks to make Colossus profitable. One of them which will be fully launched in about a day, is we have a "database" robot maintain a list of internet service providers which of course includes an ad for Colossus on every page of this service. This list will be the largest in the world within a day and will have its own domain in a day. Anyway, we got the bright idea of selling advertising space in this ad for Colossus. Already over $1000/year of advertising has been sold. We expect that this yellow page service will eventually bring in big money as the thousand or so internet service providers try to out advertise each other on our service. Our "database" robot does a really nice job at maintaining hundreds of pages, one for each area code and/or country. It just blows away the competition.
Why am I talking so much about Colossus? Because it is going to enable us to do two things:
1) Be a point of success that we can point to when we try to raise $20 million dollars to launch our hospital ship venture. (It was funded by Atlantis Project creditors one of whom raises $10 million/year for his own projects.)
2) Enable us to pay off past debts plus eventually give us the enormous income needed to get a new country venture off the ground. I've learned that it costs a lot of money to start a new country!
Within a month, our maintenance robots will be constructed, enabling us to highly automate the operations at Colossus. Once this is done, we will be able to focus on marketing and greatly expand our customer base. Even now our clients span the globe, from Singapore to the U.S.
And if you live anywhere and would like to help us publish our first paper issue of Oceania Oracle, let us know.
