coli custom woven labels dispatched to the team, plus some plain tshirts, then its up to you how you flip it. the web/online presence could promote our creations. ie. going into thrift shops and revamping the clothes you buy with a heat presser or embroidery, basically flip it then attach the custom labels to it.

we all update our progress see whose pushing what and putting it back into the pot. a small team of colimembers because of the input get the woven labels and tee's and build a base from their. group marketing and individual marketing like you might be getting shine off one type of print you are doing and the team could tag along since its like .... coli-clothing.

box of 250 of them thats the coli (whatever the logo will be) on the garments you produce and press and we all have a hand in pushing it?

i'm about to go in 1000.00 and start with basics and update my progress but a league or support group would do wonders for results, discipline and motivation.

- you go on alibaba now the team leader/mod and get an account and start looking at production houses
- i got a hook up for custom woven labels but their cost effective anyway.
- teamleader sorts out the communication and paperwork
- i can show you how to press the joints either heat or silk, and also how to use a handheld sewing machine to stich the tags.

this is the juicy part with what was discussed in here we could apply all those strategies and charitable aspects in promoting the creations, viral, instagram tastemakers, socially conscious and etc. just one idea and like the moderator said perhaps a less amount to get the ball rolling.

or 30 entrepreneurs interested in some positive competition and support.

ie. you got all items now its time to sell online and offline, you can get at posters for designs and etc and promotion and we get to see the forthnightly results through some sort of league-table? :ehh:

I’ve been said it’s a lot of smart people here & we could have outreach in several states . Putting together different things for the community etc .

Fools would rather get attention making threads to antagonize each other.

Even something like entertainment/social media ...plenty of legit funny posters ,posters who are in the music biz etc

I would chip if the idea is right.



This could work.

A few weeks ago, a breh created a thread about MTO yet again being content vultures. They literally just posted TLR screenshots of a Jay-Z thread. I suggested that it's time for us to start monetizing our own shyt. So many leeches eat off of us. Coli created content has gone viral, but others usually reap the rewards. Plenty of posters here are funnier than these corny social media "comedians".

I like the fact that we could keep everything in house. There are breh(ettes) who are able to write(both entertainment and politics), produce/edit media, successfully promote it online, etc. We do not have to rely on textiles companies, for example, as we would for fashion. Plenty of established product brands have taken a hit due to the pandemic-induced economic downturn, so you know it'll be even more difficult than normal for a new product brand just starting out. Content creators are still eating just fine off of ads and crowd funding.

It's time.


We need to reach out to...





...Jadakiss and make that tv comedy reality.:blessed:
We got plenty of ideas in that thread to start with already. Got the screenwriters thread with people making moves too. Let's bring this show to Netflix or something. :banderas:

i think i am going to push the clothing idea, with plain tee's being the foundation you can go into thrift shops and customize jackets and dresses with the coli woven label stitched onto it. same logo you can press stickers and posters round your locals and promote the web-page for the merchandise. open to all forms of commerce but i think theres something in this one.





its sunday blessings lets build, as for paperwork thats the mod/team leader and whose in gets the products sent to local post office or something.

crack open alibaba stop playing. :russ:

Still working my way thru the thread but I'm down.

Ideas I like best so far is the web show and selling weed.

The web show is potentially the best idea I think because if it blows it can lead to the other ventures already discuss and with a built in audience.

when and if this thing gets serious I'll gladly pledge $100 minimum.

As for contributions I can help with online marketing and influencing.

ie. Purchasing ads on Spotify, Instagram, Facebook Making hastags for Twitter etc.

I'll offer my hand at writing too. When I try to be funny I usually can get a laugh or two and back in high school I won 3rd place in a Black history essay competition for Vanderbilt University. I'd just need editing because my spelling sometimes isn't the best.

I was considering making a youtube channel anyway but being apart of a collective is much less intimidating.

for sure with regular content to a regular audience things can pop off.

i'm down to pledge 100 too, and whatever other means we are using to pop this off.

Here's my take.

I think we should pool our energy in one direction, rather than a competitive league style of doing things. Or, at least make that part secondary and optional, but still keeping a core product or business that we're building together. That way, the burden of the heavy lifting is spread more evenly among each other and those with expertise in certain areas can do what they do best.

We should put our energy into a product or business we can push, while also incorporating the news/entertainment aspect so that we have an audience to advertise our products to. For instance, lets say we came out with the plantain chips or some other snack, and took our time coming up with the best flavor, color scheme, design, and what we're trying to say from a lifestyle point of view. We can also be building Coli News/Entertainment and helping those that are participating get their content up. That way, once the chips are ready to hit the market, we can plug them on our news site, podcasts, blogs, web series, social media, etc.

Those that invest in the creation of the product can get equity in the company and those that just want to sell can use their promo code to get affiliate royalties. Since we're also focusing on the content end of things, we'll always have a growing audience of people to market to for any other business ventures or products we come out with.

We can all go hard supporting and pushing the content end since the more these audiences grow, the more revenue we can generate from the product that we're selling. So creatives get help building their platforms and business-minded people have an investment they can push, and all talent types and backgrounds on the Coli can get in where they fit in and benefit. When we're all going in the same direction with cooperation and participation we can do a lot of heavy lifting, no matter what we decide on.

this is pretty, very pretty prospect.

i only suggested the league because i thought posters wouldnt want to be involved in the group dynamics but make use of the peer pressure. ala some form of tabled results.

but im with your thinking and also suggest you take over head of operations for now until a moderator gets involved, i am hyped because just recently i thought my entrepreneurial spirit was broken but i am ready to move product again. its been 10 years since my last major move and feel we are stalling and not making use of our niche. this day and age an heavy online presence is just bank straight up.

doing the paperback IPO trademark registration, i got all the deets yesterday and sorting out today 8.00am - thats £200.00 put up so far.

we need a coli-social-business-hub, the motivation to succeed and the drive from competition and sporting with your peers is priceless.

especially the amount of man hours some spend connected to the net all day.

- i hope there is some sort of cipher but i've already started for the 2021 by the grace of God. :salute:
