I want to start a fastlane business that provides VALUE.
After a lot of brain-storming and forethought on what sort of business I could set up that best suites my current situation I've come to one main idea: A Premium News Letter
In theory it meets all the 5 fastlane principles:
*Need, Time, Scale, Control & Entry.
The idea is to offer value to people by saving them the time and energy of having to rummage through hundreds of articles/websites in any given niche to find the handful of articles/posts/case studies/videos etc. posted every week that are worth their weight in gold. Basically I'll be finding those golden articles/posts and curating them into a nicely presented email that I send out 2 times a week.
Is there any value in that? Or am I kidding myself?
---------------------
I know the best way to find out is by actually doing it and letting the market tell me what they think, however I wanted to hear what you guys think and I'm also having a hard time thinking of what sort of criteria I should have for filtering out and selecting viable/possible niches.
I'm thinking, I do not want to set this up in a niche that already has a lot of curators/authorities; i.e NBA or NFL or Entertainment.
But I do not want to go TOO niche and try it in a niche that is too small or does not require news update every week... like oh I don't know.... French Antique Chairs from 1800s.
Your help would be greatly appreciated, guys.
TL;DR?
1) Would you pay someone to save you time and energy of having to dig through hundreds of websites find the handful of golden posts/videos/articles in a niche you are passionate about and emailing you those golden posts 2 times a week?
2) What criteria would be good to have when selecting a niche to work with (don't want the niche to be too big, but not too small either).
Thanks
