Just so you know... investors would probably think it's just a waste of time, which means a waste of money as they (or their financial handlers) would have to keep an eye on this website. Remember, if they think this website is going to make them under $XX an hour they will just nuke it, they are not attached emotionally or otherwise to this "product", exception being shareholder founders but e.g. Steve Jobs.
