when you talk about dividends, what profits do you expects in future from sales when the software is ready? how long do you expect will it take for full release for commercial uses?

My goal is to get about 250 customers who pay about $13,90 a month. But could be bigger, everybody who has a website is potential customers. We want to get linkbuilding available for everyone. The costs of running the tool are relative low, to profits would be good.

I am hiring a webdeveloper right now to speed things up. I have a talk this week or next week, but it's hard to tell now when the full release will take place. I expect in 2/3 months.

so that makes it roughly 521.25$ in dividends every month for distribution to 85,500 Assets (15%). at 1 Asset = 10NXT @ 1400sat and btc rate = 1150$, that translates to roughly 27 months ROI. isnt it a bit too much considering you are asking funds for startup and there is no clear incentive to hold your assets for that long just to get an equal return? am i missing something? what is the business for investors that you have worked out before starting this ICO?

Your calculation is not correct. The dividend is calculated on profit, you forgot to subtract the costs of the total turnover. There are many incentives to join the crowdfunding campaign:

If you buy >1000 asset you will get a free linkbuilding account
When you introduce a new paying customer you will get 200 assets
If the tool becomes popular and many hundreds/thousands are going to use it, the dividend will be high, and probably the price of the asset too!

I have not done business with other investors for this project. I wanted to begin with the lovely Nxt community. Grin

well, i didnt subtract turnover cost because i assumed it to be ZERO to calculate best possible ROI. i also took the assumption that the software will start generating revenue from day1 with 250 subscriptions.
so as per my understanding, it can only make business case for web developers who need to use LinkBuilding frequently.

The project will have costs from the beginning, when hundreds users are managing their linkbuilding campaigns it would cost more server/hosting costs too and the more people who join, the more administration is needed. But this is normal for every business, the costs are not that high, but they are there of course.

Website-owners are becoming more professional and are doing more themselves instead of hiring webdevelopers/marketeers/analysts/linkbuilders. The time is now that more people are going to use the tool themselves. The tool is very userfriendly to work for everyone.

The tool can breakeven from about 35 users is my estimate.
