I have had an idea for a couple of months rolling around in my head. Then I read TFM and realized all the other things I have tried, broke all the TFM rules. Basically I have owned my own "job" and my husband owns his own "job"...so, now we are mid-forties and putting down the slowlane. {sigh}
The whole time reading the book, Im thinking this idea really fits the bill and I like it more and more. So, I put my ideas and basic structure down on paper now. (After signing NDA's of course) We meet next week with a web design company. No, it would not be a simple design I could do myself...It will be a large database with privacy and security issues, none of which I can do. The phone estimate was 5-10k {gulp} but will know more after meeting next week.
Then just have to decide to MOVE. So, the big question is HOW do you know if its "of value". I dont see anything like it out there and lots of complaining that the info is necessary - But, how do I know if its available - they will PAY for it?
The website will make money several ways:
1. Monthly subscription service (primary income)
2. Affiliate Marketing program to be advertised on B2B sites
3. AM links for me to send my people to their sites
4. advertising space on my site
Exit strategy: If it does take off like I think, I would think a larger company would by me out at a sweet premium.
Thoughts? Advice?
