  • The Kingdom of Guessermania

Our goal is to sell this web site for One Million US Dollars and to share it with you as our Shareholders.

Ambitious? Probably. Unrealistic? Obviously not!

Remember how milliondollarhomepage.com made One Million US on technically one page web site? Remember youtube.com and doubleclick.com acquired by Google for $1.65 billion and $3.1 billion accordingly? Remember Microsoft paying facebook.com $240 million just to become an exclusive advertiser on the site? Oh, and remember the Paper Clip guy who has turned his paper clip into a house via several exchanges?

The Internet's potential being already virtually unlimited keeps growing. So, lets give it a try!

Our goal is to sell this web site as a successful and effective advertising tool for at least One Million US Dollars and we are inviting everyone to participate in this project as our Shareholders, investing only your time and efforts. That's right, no real money of yours required at all.

Guessermania who?

Guessermania is a Kingdom of Games, Fun and Entertainment. Take your time, browse our web site and try predicting the correct outcome of various events of all types. It costs nothing and takes very little time. You might predict correctly and win!

While there is a winning opportunity, most people take part for fun, to beat their friends and prove their knowledge and intuition!

There is no real money and no gambling involved in Guessermania. When you win you receive G$, which are Guessermania Dollars. The G$ are accepted only at Guessermania and are not an equivalent to any real currency and cannot be converted to the real currency either. However, as in a real life, you will be able to spend your G$ buying Guessermania virtual Shares becoming our Shareholders.

 

Please read more about Guessermania Project on "How it Works" page.

Yes! We are offering a new business concept.

Guessermania is issuing exactly One Million virtual Shares and inviting everyone to become the Guessermania Shareholder. Guessermania Shares can only be purchased with Guessermania Dollars (G$) at a rate of G$100 per Share.

How do I get my share?

Each Shareholder will receive their portion of the Guessermania's selling price accordingly to the number of Guessermania Shares they own at the moment when we reach a deal and sell Guessermania.

The more Shares you own, - the more cash you will make on the Guessermania sale.

Why do you think this will happen?

What makes us so confident that we will sell it? A solid user base and activity will serve as a powerful advertising engine, allowing the potential buyers (online advertising companies) to incorporate their advertising inventory into our solid traffic pages, turning our traffic into their profit.

Just make sure that you own enough Guessermania Shares by then...

Guessermania Concept

Is it Free?

All Guessermania games are free and enable millions of people to vie for the Guessermania Dollars (G$). Guessermania allows people to compete against one another through real event outcome predictions (such as sport events etc), so that you may win more or less, depending on how well you perform. Even if you do not win anything - you cannot lose anything either. All Guessermania Money (G$) collected remain in your account until you spend it buying the Guessermania Shares.

What do I need?

All you need to become a Guessermania member is to go to the "guessing pages" (on left side menu) and select one of the available options on every guess prediction (a multiple choice selection).

You will be asked to provide your email address, which will later serve as your login ID, your account will be automatically created and a temporary password emailed to you.
As soon as you receive your temporary password, please log in and complete the account setup as soon as possible. No members will qualify to receive G$ without having completed the account setup.

Members with their photo uploaded will also be able to send Private Messages to other Guessermania members, and most importantly, qualify winning our Jackpot. Yes, we are trying to build a community of people playing Guessermania games and we encourage interaction between our members, participation in the ratings, discussions and all other Guessermania day to day activities.

What's the main winning idea?

The most important thing here is for members to understand that their winnings are directly proportional to their activity at Guessermania.

Please see for more details our How It Works Tab.

How it works

How Guessermania works

 

If you are not familiar with Guessermania yet, please take a look at our concept and see what we do.

On Guessermania you will be able to try your luck and get rewarded for that! Guessermania is not a gambling site since you will never have to place real money on your predictions, or to generate real cash. The rewards you receive are in Guessermania Dollars (G$), which are accepted on Guessermania only.

Our idea is simple:

Browse the web site, make your predictions on all sorts of real life events with an uncertain outcome published here, and collect the G$ if your predictions were correct!

All you need to play on Guessermania is - a little bit of intuition, erudition, a little bit of luck and to follow the Guessermania rules of play! It's that simple!

The wonderful thing about Guessermania is that you can never lose. You may not always win, but you will never lose. All the G$ you earn through playing, builds up and remains in your account until you decide to spend it on Guessermania Shares.

Besides being able to make predictions, you can also become a publisher, submitting Guesses on Guessermania, thereby sharing 20% of the G$ pool for that Guess.

How to become a Successful Guessermanian

Here are some tips on how to win more on Guessermania:

1) Attempt to make a prediction on all Guesses. The number of correct predictions is all that counts. Even if you are not, for instance, a Hockey fan - go to the Sports section and pick your winners anyway. If you win - you win, if you don't - it costs you nothing.

2) Watch Expired Guesses (submitted by others) and participate by submitting the correct event result once the event has occurred. If the Guess author submitted an invalid Guess or did not submit the event results within 4 days from the Guess Event End Date, his winning portion will go to Jackpot.

3) Upload your picture on your account's main page. Only users with photos will qualify to win Jackpot.

4) Become the best player in one of our "Best Of" categories. Best players make some extra G$.

5) Become a publisher. Start submitting your own Guesses to Guessermania and you will get an extra 20% of the G$ pool for that Guess.

6) Invite your friends to Guessermania. Potentially double what you win by inviting others to play Guessermania. Each time you win, you earn up to 5% of your first and second level referrals' winning amounts.

7) And lastly - always follow the Guessermania rules.

There are Guessing and Bidding Games on Guessermania

The Guessing

The Guessing game is described above and is an easy way to start playing on Guessermania. It requires from you nothing except having a Guessermania account and a few minutes a day to play.

The Bidding

The Bidding game is an optional extension of the Guessing game. You can use your previously earned G$ making bids playing the Guessing game. You will be competing against other Guessermania members who are also placed bids on the same events as you did. If no one else except you placed bids on some particular Guess, you will receive your bid back. We do not take any portion of that as the real gambling sites do. We do not make any profit on your bidding, this is 100% free for everyone!

BTW, Guessermania is the right place to try your luck making bids as you can do on the real bookmakers sites, but doing this without spending of any real money!


Note: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gambling has a specific economic definition, referring to wagering money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods. Typically, the outcome of the wager is evident within a short period of time.

Once again: We are not offering our users any money or something material for the activities they do on Guessermania. What we are offering is to become our Shareholders and share the portion of One Million Dollars Guessermaina is offered to be sold for.

This page is written to show the potential Guessermania buyers why and when to buy us.

The statistics above show how big the Internet really is. But how big does Guessermania have to be to be worth One Million Dollars?

As you know Guessermania is all about guessing what will happen in real life, the real life events with an uncertain outcome, such as sports and politics.

How many of them that qualify to be placed as Guessermania Guesses happen every day?

That is hard to say, but lets try. For example, NHL has 1230 season games plus Playoff minimum 60 maximum 105 games. More or less the same number is in NBA and NFL. How many sports championships like that are running every year or once per four years like Olympics or Soccer Euro and World championships? A LOT! Only European Soccer National championships would add several thousand games a year!

To make a long story short, I would imagine that the number of the sports games a day is somewhere between 10 and 30. Lets be pessimistic on this one and say it is only 10 games a day.

How many banners are shown to each Guessermania user on each Event? Every Guess can show at least 6 (four 160x600 Wide Skyscrapers, and two 728 x 90 Leaderboard ads (we currently are not using the left side banner but there is room for it); three before and three after Guessing/Bidding), and maximum up to probably 60 if the user was using our Bidding and/or Rating tools. So, lets say on average 10 ads per Guess per User.

That make the average number of impressions per user per day equal to 10x10 = 100.

How much advertising companies charge their clients for their ads? The CPC (cost per click) can be anywhere from as low as 1cent to 1dollar and even higher. The CPM (cost per one thousand ads impressions) can be from 1$ to 10$ and even more.

As you know, Guessermania is offering the following features to the advertisers:

  • Advertisements of varying sizes and layouts (text and standard) on our Guessermania pages, which every user is expected to visit, so no ads are skipped.
  • Precise ad delivery with available break down by the user's gender, age and location

We are able to reach narrow or wide audiences with most of the ad formats. The advertisement delivery accuracy is a unique feature distinguishing Guessermania from many others, assuring you that your ads will be precisely delivered to the given consumer audience.

Targeted advertisement is more effective and valuable than not targeted, so lets say our CPM will cost 10$ to your advertisers.

Roughly, One user per day will be able to make you 10$ / (1000cpm/100impressions) = 1$.

Where only one thousand active Guessermania users will be making you already 1000$ a day, or 365,000$ a year accordingly.

In other words, one thousand Guessermania users will be able to return your One Million Dollars investment in less then 3 years, or ten thousand users in less than just four month.

As you can see, Guessermania with only one thousand active players will worth paying the price!

Yes, there are some hosting and maintenance expenses which are not considered in this simplified calculation, however there are some factors that are not considered as well, such as:

  • Search Engine Factor. Imagine the Guessermania content volume it will build over the years. The content will bring many people from the search engines, which will browse the site and see the ads as well.
  • Guessermania user base growth. Guessermania business model encourage its users to invite their friends. So, even starting with 1000 active users, the user base will most likely double or triple every year, making the investment return much faster.

You may ask us "Why don't you keep Guessermania for yourself, run some ads on it and make money?". The problem is that we don't have the luxury of dealing the advertisers directly as the online advertising companies do. So, to run the ads we have to deal with companies like Google, Yahoo, AdBrite etc, who pay the site owners much less that they charge the advertised companies.

We also are not allowed to pay any compensations to our users for seeing the ads, since most of the online advertising companies policies strongly disallow this and we are going to always follow the rules.

Since you are already reading this paragraph, you have probably gone through the entire page and seen our calculation, please do your own now. Your mileage may vary, however, if you are interested in speaking to Guessermania to discuss the details, please Contact us via this form.
