There's no need for it. Either an idea is brilliant or not ... it's a gamble investing in someone, but then again ... let's see... Who'll give me a million quid for 10% of all my future earnings? It'd set me up in my dream house in Devon where I could then spend all day writing poetry, designing cards and living it up! Of course I'd promise that I'm a serial inventor, fantastic artist and brilliant poet and writer... therein might lie my problem!

Probably not enough! There's so many people I see on affiliate forums who get lured in by the bright lights and shiny appeal of earning lots of money for nothing! Because entry requirements are so low - a domain and hosting costs next to nothing, then there's no stopper for some people who end up buying and working on strange niches that neither interest or amuse them. If you had to write a business plan before buying a domain, then there's be a lot less empty domains sat unloved!
