I’m in. Zoom or Microsoft teams.

Other races do this ALL the time and have no issues. I was talking to an Indian dude and he was saying he has 6 people he pools money with to flip houses. He does 2-3 a year makes money just recycling that initial investment money over and over.
It's so doable. We gotta start treating these things like they're normal, you're right. We have the internet and technology now, and there's too much opportunity out here to not link up and get after it.

like every participating board member drops a rack and we get a lawyer and firm that says we all have equal investment. it could rake in the 300 000+. you think there's anything out there we could eat off as a collective?

this is not just hypothetical either :lupe:

- real estate?
- investing in a recording artist?
- biscuit company?
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 be willing to participate. Immediately, I know I could lend researching skills to the cause. Depending on the project itself and what is needed, if there is opportunity, I could likely contribute in another capacity as well.
Everyone who is in, let me know. Also, let me know which group chat platform you think is best. I'll set it up from there.

this is a blessing. whatever project we decide on i am volunteering my funds and whatever skill-set we could make use of. :salute:

before i break off my old alibaba account, how about we pool our resources instead and have 30 independent posters seeing who can push their (1000) further. same group dynamic if some are deterred with direct fund sharing.

- we have our own network
- we support our social media presence
- discounts and group spending ie. i got a shipment coming in on stickers we could go halves etc.
- motivating each other via competition.
- helping each other.

be seriously on it, its the same process doing a project thats beneficial and will make bank. heres a little tech-savy brother who made a come up.

BBC Radio 5 live - Wake Up to Money - ‘I forged sick notes to take client calls in the school loos’

lets keep building and throwing out plans.

+

the number one reasons products move off the shelf is packaging and packaging alone. presentation has even surpassed actuality. so marketing is crucial.

this would be big :

30 posters all daily checking up on each others progress and supporting. first form of support for my brothers thinking about clothing make sure you get your custom woven labels so thinking of a emblem that means much to you and a name then i can help you get them custom woven labels printed.

ie. you want a box of 500 maybe 4 other posters want their shyt printed, thats a major group order and discount. :wow:

:laff: perfect response



But real talk, I'm waiting on yall brehs to decide on something.

One of my plans one day is to own some type of online retail store where I'm making money by just buying low and selling high.

But I don't know if that's what we're talking about in here. Plus I haven't even decided on a product yet.

what you think about a 30man-super-league ... we have 30 posters in this team - sharing resources, network, support, etc?

to paint a clearer picture. (say you are pressing slogan posters and stickers and small items like that)

you wake up every day Isha Allah and check your emails and website then the coli thread with the 30-posters and get to motivate yourself but more importantly. a poster might want to bulk order plain card posters and you werent looking to re-up but its good discount deal or someone got access to an instagram taste-maker with 50000+ followers from our group and he puts you on?

the possibilities are great for that colihhub of business. you might do well off your product just from saving money with others doing bulk-buying and a vast group audience. I'd like to think this time next year Isha Allah i can wake up bathe brush then log into my email website then coli and all moving positively. in the coli thread theres another new hook-up from a fellow 30man participator.

either together or independent the group is strong.

Start a Coli Educational Consultant Company for black students.

Host Virtual Mentorship Seminars for young black youth. Contract these seminars to charter schools, districts and cities who are looking for opportunities for their children.

Topics that you guys are knowledgable about:

1.) Financial Literacy
2.) Job certifications
3.) Physical Health
4.) Job industry
5.) Knowing Your Legal Rights
Target middle schools but primary audience is what researchers have termed “Emergent Adults”
Students 17-25.

The transition from high school to real life is rough. With co-vid ravaging an already horrible school system, we will have a upcoming generations of emergent adults who will be lost LOST.
The Coli Leadership Adult and Student Success (CLASS) academy can offer virtual learning and mentorship packages to address deficits in students knowledge of critical life skills needed to be successful as a black person in America.

There’s literally zero overhead costs because services and seminars can be virtual. Set up a good website and some service packages, present it to local city commissioners, high schools, districts. Trust me when I say counties have money to spend on these types of programs.

this is a power move, out of my league and capabilities but a power move. :wow:

I mean the idea is cool but how do you enforce that? Meaning, what if you're ordering something from me but when I need something, I'm holding out and going someplace else? Or vice versa?

Not saying its a bad idea but trying to present every argument to see how we can hammer it out before we get started.

i hear that but i meant not from each other, an example.

im ordering custom woven labels 500 its going to cost but if some other poster also wanted custom woven labels we could get it for less because its a larger order. so small things like that, even plain white tee's, cardboard, packaging,etc.

not from poster to poster in terms of ordering that would still be via the chanel you are using this is more for poster support like an elite team of hook-ups. like the coli illuminati smh lol, you understand though?

ie. my page has 4000 followers i promote your project on my page and vice versa all within the coli-team-30.

ie. we could use a table format to see who is doing well and lend support to whose lacking in terms of receipts.

ie. also as for donation to the community to help. with our proceeds we could give a percentage for being part of the elite group ala illuminati lol.

either way i am in for a contribution

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.

Dope thread. Hope something tangible materializes from it.

I think the easiest way to to utilize the coli's true strength (reach an influence) to take over and start a real movement.......we'll need to start several separate movements on this site first, and then use them as a foundation for cross promoting and bringing everything together so it can raise the stature of everyone collectively.
I feel like if we compose several groups or pillars as a support base, we could eventually create some real empire type shyt. Just to break it down a lil with how I see it.... For example

Pillar 1...Music (put together a coli group that everyone for the most part agrees is dope) and just push them non stop. Like on this site as well as people social media accounts and youtubes. We should easily be able to get somebody's music 10k streams a month. This group can potentially include artist, producers, video editors, graphic artists etc...

Pillar 2.....Podcast (Get a dope podcast that's versatile enough to push different topics an influence thoughts.) Also if this platform is built up properly you can now use it to push the coli artists from the 1st example. This would be good for interviews and music reviews etc...

Pillar 3.....Clothing. (This is what helps the branding and define our drip collectively.) So many quotes and slogans could be used for this. Start out simple with some shirts and go from there. Eventually this would become something else that could be cross promoted with the other pillars. The artist could rock the clothing while being interviewed on the podcast for example.

Pilliar 4......Influencers
(this group of people consists of those with large social media followings) this group is important because it helps expand our reach. If they tweet or share things the other pillars are working on, the movement grows faster. Especially if everyone is retweeting it. This group keeps its ear to the streets for trends and topics that could be used to influence the other pillars such as podcast topics for example.

Pillar 5......Business and Finance
(this group is actively searching for financial advantages or opportunities for the collective) hook ups and deals shyt like that.

Pillar 6......Entertainment an Arts (all the creatives from drawing, animation, literature, movies, etc...) these people work on these things as well as collaborating with other pillars

So basically, everyone's talent or strength is accounted for and used where it fits in best. While at the same time collectively promoting each other.

As for myself. I've already cultivated 3 of the 6 pillars with other coli brehs.
Music....


Entertainment and Arts


Podcast


Now just imagine if just 25% of the Coli got behind all of this and really helped push it. The reach and influence would grow overnight. Now imagine adding the other pillars. The expansion grows even more.
Don't even have to build anything from scratch. Just push what we have and create more shyt. Everyone pooling resources together, shyt can be beautiful.
