After over a year of promoting and establishing Resizem.com we have decided that now is the time to hand it over to someone else as we have too much on our plate to take advantage of what is a growing and expanding site

Its listed on flippa but just encase your too lazy to click the link below:

This project was initially intended to be developed in a month or two but once again our good friend @46bit has done a superb job.

What Does it Do?

Basically Diiz is a completly free and simple way of creating music playlist through YouTube. It removes all the hassle of having to search for each song and allows you to play your favorite songs back to back providing you with non-stop music. Each playlist is automatically saved at the bottom of the page for when you next revisit. You can also view other users playlist by clicking on the public playlists at the bottom of the page.

As usual we would would love it if you could spread the word about the site

How’s it going?

Firstly, We’d like to wish you a Happy Christmas & New Year. Secondly, It’d like to apologize on behalf of myself and Jon for not posting as regularly as we should do. It’s Jons fault.

So what’s been going on?
So, basically, we created a sick app that I will keep the name hush at the moment. We got let down by a few developers. We then got it developed and we loved it. Then I decided I hated the design. So, I’ve been working on a new design aswell as sorting out Resizem V2, other apps and other personal bits.

So, Resizem V2

Many of you may remember Resizem, it was a website we launched a long time ago in Beta mode. Finally we have got a full version 2 up. This is what it includes.

  • User System
  • Login Via Twitter
  • Gallery
  • Social Uploading (Facebook, Flickr, Twitter)
  • Upload from URL
  • Red Eye
  • Bug fixes

A big thanks goes to @46Bit for doing such a great job so quickly.

Go to Resizem

Any help spreading the word would be very much appreciated.

Project #6

Project #6 finally has a php developer who we believe can deliver a finalized system at the standard we require.

We are still however on the lookout for a coder familiar with working on the objective #c platform to run alongside the web application details on how to contact us about this vacancy is available at the bottom of this post

EsportsAid.com

We are currently searching for both a developer and designer for this project. Primarily we are looking for a developer interested in taking a stake of ownership in the project although are willing to discuss project based pay too.

Resizem.com V2

We are currently looking to hire a developer for the next version of resizem. Josh has done an amazing job on the redesign and we have managed to come up with some interesting ideas to take the project further.

DrBored.com

We still have yet to decide which direction we are going to take on this project, will hopefully have something final in a week or two.

If you are interested in any of the vacancies then you can contact us at jobs@startedwith100.com

Finally if you are looking to offload any projects or designs contact us as we may just be interested

Just slow with the backend of things. It’ll be worth the wait though, (hopefully).

So yeah, we saw a domain for sale and thought that’s pretty sick. So we’d though we’d snap it up for $50 from Talk Freelance.

The domain is

DrBored.com

We’ve had a few ideas already, but we won’t be working on this for a few projects yet.

Now down to business so what exactly have we been doing for near enough two months? The answer is lots but unfortunately we don’t have much to show you guys just yet.

Unfortunately due to personal circumstances our main developer 46bit has had to step down on the development of project #6. Luckily enough we have some real talent around us and have hired previous developer Raphael Caixeta to restart development on project #6. So keep an eye over the next week or two for updates and the release. 46bit will still however develop EsportsAid in what spare time that he does have

We really do have so much planned for the next couple of months including some very exciting ideas and unexpected updates! So make sure you keep checking back.

Here’s a preview of 2 projects

]]> http://www.startedwith100.com/2009/10/progress-update/feed/ 1 Flippin Brilliant – $1000 is met & A new project – eSportsAid http://www.startedwith100.com/2009/08/flippin-brilliant-1000-is-met-a-new-project-esportsaid/ http://www.startedwith100.com/2009/08/flippin-brilliant-1000-is-met-a-new-project-esportsaid/#comments Sat, 08 Aug 2009 23:48:03 +0000 Jon http://www.startedwith100.com/?p=250 Today we sold Feederr for $500; which is a amazing result considering we only launched it two days ago! This project turned out to give us our  best profit to date with a profit margin of  1024% percent. This works out of a total profit of $461.20 on the project. This leaves our current overall balance at $1,398.95

The site received an unbelievable amount of coverage on its opening days of release; which took us both by surprise. So thanks to all who used and spread the word about the site.

After a great sale, we decided to go for something that caught Jons eye. He had been going on about it at me for quite a while, so I thought we’d have a look into it. We settled a price and purchased a unfinished website package which we saw a high amount of potential in over at the ClanTemplates Marketplace Forums.

We purchased the domain and design of EsportsAid.com along with several high quality gaming templates. This set us back $220; leaving our balance now at $1,178.95.

We plan to create an advanced custom php control management system for use by professional gaming teams. The site will be an all in one solution with hosting included in the deal. We hope to begin development in around 2-3 weeks once we have rolled out project number #6 which should finger crossed be finished around that time. With this project we are teaming up with a developer who has been working with us for the last few projects (46Bit). He will be developing the backend free of charge, whilst receiving a 50% cut of the sale price.

Minus all the fees left us with $806.05; we spent $160 on the project which leaves us with a profit of $646.05 a margin of  504%. We was thinking about keeping the project for a while but realized that the revenue from the sale of the project could be used to do projects which are bigger and could possibly be more sucessful; which leads me onto:

Project #5 – Feederr.com

Feederr is intended to be a quick flip following the success of ImageTwit. But obviously instead of Twitter is based around RSS feeds. Our thanks once again go to 46bit for doing a brilliant job. Feederr development cost us just $35 to develope and $10 to register the domain so a total of $45 altogether.

Beyond Feederr we have two more larger projects which are currently being developed; one of which should be launching within a week or two so make sure you keep an eye on the blog!

]]> http://www.startedwith100.com/2009/08/out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new-project-5-feederr-com/feed/ 4 Project #4 – Domainrr.com http://www.startedwith100.com/2009/07/project-4-domainrr-com/ http://www.startedwith100.com/2009/07/project-4-domainrr-com/#comments Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:23:14 +0000 Jon http://www.startedwith100.com/?p=207 After what has seemed like a lifetime we are finally ready to unveil our latest project.

Domainrr.com

Just incase the above video is not sufficient heres a roundup of what Domainrr.com actually does.

Domainrr.com was developed due to one problem that me and Josh both found we have which was that we never new when our domains expired and where about they are registered and with what email account and etc. So domainrr.com was born its main purpose is to be a hub to hold lots of useful information about each domain you own a list of features can be found below:

  • Add, delete, modify domains
  • Information about each domain is automatically pulled from the system
  • Statistics are generated on each domain such as pagerank
  • Information can be exported in various formats
  • Reminds you of expiring domains via email

This site was developed by @46bit for $150 leaving our balance at around $130. We both believe 46bit to be one of the best coders we have ever worked with and thus he comes extremely recommended.

Feel free to tweet, stumble and digg about this project.

We are currently getting ready to launch two projects this week so expect to see some project and new blog post over the next couple of days
