    Hi there,
    I have got a file sharing and video sharing website. It's already working and making money, but I would like to boost it, because it could make me a lot more money, but I have not enough money. How could I get sponsors, investors for my project?

    Actually its a file sharing, video sharing website. It makes more money than it's cost.

    But I would like to make more money. To do it I need an investor, sponsor.

    For what I need money:
    First there are a lots of more work have to be done for a great solution.
    I need rent more server to create a very fast solution.
    For some translator. I would like to make it available in 5-10 languages.

    We have already implement 3600usd to this project. And it's working.

    How could, where and how could I find investors sponsors? What i need to do for it?

    why not sell ad space to advertisers? even site wide footer links can earn money.
    perhaps allow your site visitors to pay to have their video promoted on home page? (alot of people do pay for views / promotions). I am sure you can earn more now from your site.

    You can find investors here... but hard for people to trust anyone.

    Well, when you are talking about sponsorships, what you are going to have to do is sell. And just emailing may not be sufficient. you're going to have to get on the phone, network in real life and make associations with local businesses or local reps of bigger businesses.

    I might advise for you to hire a writer to help you put together a proposal. Someone who's both familiar with quality writing as well as creating a presentation that you can give to prospective sponsors.

    What you have got in your favor is that you have already created a working concept and it's generating revenue. you can prove your idea and show how an infusion of capital can boost it.

    if you're interested in more, please PM me. If not, I hope this has in some way been helpful.
