Hello fastlaners, this is my first post on here so I thought I would introduce myself. I am a 15 year old "hustler" from the beautiful country of Bulgaria. Despite my age I have made decent profits on side hustles like reselling and digital e-commerce. Also I am a freelancing web developer on the side to keep money coming in.
I wanted to ask your opinion on my new business idea today but first I'll give some backstory: I was on a trip to the UK (love it here lads) and noticed how most cafes, restaurants and any building with free wifi really, made use of login pages that took my email and made me agree to their TOS - actively giving them more data about me - the customer.
Back home not many, if any businesses do that. You need to go through the tedious process of asking your waiter/staff member for the password and then get access, giving them none of your info and data.
My idea is to break into that market and advertise it as a marketing strategy - businesses get more info and a way to contact their customer - effectively giving them more clients and providing value.
I do not worry about development since I have experience in things like that but my biggest issue is no one wanting to adopt that for various reasons - maybe they don't have the marketing team to send email, maybe they don't think it will be worth it, maybe I am too young for them to trust me. I think my marketing would be to cold email local restaurants and walk into them, speaking to their owner/manager and seeing if they are interested.
Now I need to decide on a price since my expenses are minimal - 50-100$ for the server to host multiple clients on and a better way to market myself because I am ridden with doubt I will get told to just f off and have to drop the idea.
Appreciate your help and have a great and productive day ahead.
