alchemy can work ...

billionaire mark cuban recently threw open a challenge on his blog.

how to convince the masses to go out and watch his movie without spending the earth.

in short he was looking for ideas in order to market movies, but with a difference.
the bait ? the guy who's suggestion clicked, would have the job of his dreams, courtesy the maverick businessman.

at the time of typing this, the blog entry had 828 comments from hopefuls.

gigaom's solution to the problem on their blog set my mind ticking.

confident that i am about the collective intelligence and talent and experience of the members of this blog, what do you say that we offer it as a package deal to any entrepreneur / professional looking for a solution to his business problem ?

we are looking to instituionalise alchemy any way.

it would be great if we could get paid for it. even if we don't ( in the beginning perhaps ) compensation could be a function of performance generated from our recommendations. with the rider that we get credit for our work. and that we can create case studies out of it.

in the meantime we can provide solutions on this blog to mark's situation.

what say, sunil ?

any one else ??
