Hi, I'm looking to get into citadel manufacturing. I have a few investors from within my corp (on my main) but I'm opening it up to outside investors too. Mail me if you want more details. I have manufacturing experience and this should be profitable. Will do a more in depth post once i gauge if there is any interest. Thanks

That's it? Five sentences? That's all you can muster?
Would like to pledge 20B

OK the sales pitch drums up the business.
That's why they actually run actual adverts on TV, not just a quick message saying "If anyone is interested in shampoo, ping us on twitter and we'll make a proper advert."

If you are serious about your business plan you should be selling it. Remember what you say and how you say it will reflect directly on how serious people take your plan. If you plop a half-hearted few lines of vague flim-flam potential investors are going to say to themselves "This dude is either clueless, or a lazy idiot, neither of which makes me want to invest in them."
If on the other hand you produce a good well thought out detailed post ezplaining your business plan investors will think "Hey this guy has a great plan that makes sense. He's obviously serious and know what's he's doing. If he ezecutes his business with the same amount of effort he's happening, he's going places. I want a piece of that!"
Your choice which path you take.

Citadels aren't cheap. They will require lots of ISK to produce. I am assuming you'd like a lot of investment. and yet the best you can do is poop out a few vague words?

You realise the really helpfull thread that got linked turned out to be a scam?
You also realise is was quite a successful scam?
Do you know why it was successful? That's a rhetorical question by the way, I'm assuming your answer is no. It was successful because he put the effort in to make it work.
Scamming does not mean low effort. A good scam requires a lot of effort. Otherwise it's just pointless crud. Up your game!
