Hello Fastlaners!
I'm considering starting a hardware advisory business.
I want to create a website where we would help customers build a custom PC that fits their needs and budget.
How is this service different?
All the other websites only offer advice if you buy their stuff, which in most cases makes it way more expensive.
There's no need for me to share the details (not that I'm scared of someone stealing the idea, I just think it's irrelevant).
There's no competition, except for... community forums. If you create a thread saying "Could you help me build a 2000$ gaming PC?", you will get tons of ideas. The thing is, it's really hard to filter bad advice. That's when my company steps it. We would guarantee quality advice, as it would be given by a professional. The prices would relatively be very small, so that should not be a cause for concern.
As the thread title says: How does one monetize a free service?
PS: I would really appreciate if you provided examples of businesses in similar situation that succeeded / failed.
Thank you very much for taking your time to help me
