  The first step to making this happen is to get books about how to setup a website and maybe get a domain and find a server that is cheap. I've always felt that you can learn anything you want to and you don't necessarily need to spend $1000 having a professional build you a website. Libraries, really are quite nice ways to get info for free. You won't necessarily need a lot of bandwidth for the site right away so between the domain and server you wouldn't have to spend more than $20 for the first 2 months.

  As a college professor -- and one who has written on business ethics from time to time -- I could not let this opportunity pass me by.
  
  One of the entrepreneurial virtues that my co-author Prof. Michael Naughton from the U of St. Thomas write about in our soon to be released book is prudence. To be a prudent entrepreneur one pursues good ends while being careful stewards of the limited resources that are available for the venture.
  
  The entrepreneur who pursues morally good ends, but does not employ effective and efficient means given the resources they have is "well intentioned."
  
  The entrepreneur who pursues "bad" ends, and does not employ effective and efficient means is "incompetent."
  
  The entrepreneur who pursues "bad" ends, but is effective and efficient is "cunning."
  
  Finally, the entrepreneur who pursues good ends with effective and efficient means is "prudent." That is the desirable state for those who strive to be morally good entrepreneurs.
  
  …moreLet's look at this idea using this framework.
  
  It sounds like the people behind the idea have thought through many of the logistics. They are on their way to effective and efficient means.
  
  However, I worry about the ends. While they do not encourage cheating or plagiarism, they sure will facilitate it. Rather than selling papers, could they not find a business model that creates a writing tool that helps students to "get the ball rolling" on writing without giving them an actual term paper.
  
  If their ends are really to help students become better at writing papers, perhaps they should go back to the drawing board to find a new method that does not tempt their customers to be unethical and break all academic codes known to man.
