Hmmm. $150,000 a month for giveaways. Approx. 4000 people a month to cover the $5000 giveaways. Assume you would need to offer some content so this would not be considered a contest or drawing or whatever... Don't know the laws on this.

Of course, no one can prevent someone from just gifting anyone with cash, can they?

This is something worth looking into for other ways outrageous gifts can be perks of joining a particular site.

Only 5 times a week, M-F. M, W, F...would be Investments in small start-ups, with a small piece of the pie in play. T and Th, would be grants from an Arts Foundation, tax free, no obligation other than to show their art.

Now consider an Angel Investor, and Venture Capitalists. An angel, may have a million bux to invest. 5k x 3 per wk, = 15k X 52= 787,000 and consider folks like sharks, and the thousands of multi-millionaires. Might we find one who would join in the experiment?

Millions of grant dollars are already being rewarded, for only 520 thousand, a small art foundation could put up that, especially if they rec'd donations (tax free) from one of the above types.

So, say Billionaire Mark Cuban gave a million to the MC Art Foundation awarding over 200 small 5kgrants a year.

And Angel Woman, Angela Moneybags wanted to help provide SEED money for ideas, new start-ups.

OK, there is the funding. At the site, EDUCATION, in particular marketing in various forums, taught by already successful Entrepreneurs, say a Stephen King for writers...much like Masterclass does.

So, the membership site would provide the funding as well as ongoing continuous education on how to grow your business, and maybe one of the start ups is affiliate, which other members might want to join in on OR invest in. Invest in fellow members, so it isn't only about getting money, it is seeing opportunity at the very foundation, THE IDEA.

There are many funding sites. There are many "Masterclass", learning sites...so a combination...

is that delusional??

P.S. Not unlike Jim Straws old Biz Op Digest, where one could have had a 10% stake in APPLE for only 50k...or like Sherman Hunters ealliance, where people with money, seek those who need it and also business alliances are made.

OH, the 38 is roughly the cost of HBOMAX and NETFLIX. Rather than spend that money and time in entertainment, spend it on your future, eh?
