I've got buyagoal, buymygoal, sellagoal and sellmygoal.com for sale if someone wants to start trading goals ...
E.g. 'If you can: make me lose X pounds in Y weeks, I'll pay you Z'

- edanm 16y agoI've always wanted the following: A site I can "commit" to a goal buy sending money. I assign a friend I trust to update the site (let's say every week) on whether I'm fulfilling my commitment (exercising, dieting, etc.) As long as I keep my goal, I don't pay the money. If I don't meet my goal a certain week, 50% of my money goes to charity, 50% to the site (or some such percentage).
- kmak 16y agoI've read a variation on this where you commit money to a charity you hate, to motivate yourself toward your goal, or literally your enemies win.

- tarouter 16y agoThanks for pointing out this website! I was looking for similar website to encourage bunch of 30 something friends to exercise. How do they earn money? What is the business model here?
