I'm posting this in the general forum, so I'll keep some specifics of the business hidden...for now.
I've decided to pursue a big idea. This isn't your typical Amazon sales business. My business is in the same vein as homeadvisor, angieslist, thumbtack in terms of target audience and style.
Little background on me - Internet marketer. 32 yrs old. Got lazy for a few years due to $$ and freedom. Determined to create something big of my own and provide value.
And so we begin...
To date, here's what I've done since Monday when I decided to commit to this idea after validating need/entry/control/scale/time - and believing it can generate revenue.
-> Bought domain on namecheap
-> Created simple logo in GIMP (nothing fancy, just unique font+color w/tagline) (recommend if you want free photoshop type program)
-> Setup google business email
-> Started sending emails to local businesses under new email - collecting feedback, seeing their response (nothing so far)
->Bought leadpages subscription - setup main landing page, cloned main to use for multiple cities. Connected to domain to landing pages w/subdomain URL. (why doesn't leadpages let you simply show your landing page on the main URL....bad move on their part)
-> Setup Adwords campaign using landing page URLs - targeting 2 cities + business type to start. Goal is to validate my current business model/idea before committing to build out an entire website with all the bells/whistles. No pre-set spend limit. Will analyze spend/results each day and see what happens. Hoping to get some emails from people who use the service via the landing pages. May be going about it wrong, but testing traffic to see.
