Hi Guys,
I'm at the very beginning of bringing an idea to life and to be honest I'm a little lost in terms of where to begin and what to focus my attention/action on in these early stages..
Essentially I want to create a platform such as Guru where Group A comes to post something and Group B is there to serve them. While my market will be both group a and group b, my intention is to generate income from group b in terms of fees/monthly subscription.
There are a few people that are sort of in this area in the market (which hopefully indicates some sort of need) but they aren't approaching it the way I'm envisioning it.
Now I can envision my final product, but I'm having some difficulty working out the prior steps that need to be tackled from day one.
I don't have the skill to build the website/platform or to write copy so I don't know if I need to learn this first or if I can hire someone to make it happen. I'm thinking I may need to learn it and master so that I can make tweaks along the way and maintain it myself.
My feeling is that I need to get group a interested and active first before I can attract group b. I'm thinking facebook ads will be the way to go but I'm also feeling that it will be beneficial to get out there belly-to-belly first running the idea past people and grabbing their emails and building up an initial email list to direct my marketing to once the site is ready.
I'd really appreciate your thoughts and ideas in terms of how I should tackle this
If I need to clarify anything please let me know- it's 4:20 am here after quite a long security gig
