Hi MJ,
I've almost finsihed reading your book, 'The Millionaire Fastlane ' and to say it's the best wealth creation book I've read in my entire life is an understatement, but that'll suffice for now.
Thank you for writing it. God bless you.
I live in Nigeria and I have an idea that I think is tailor-made for the Fast lane.
The idea is to create a web portal linking event planners with people who want their events planned for them.
Here's why:
Social events parties are huge in my country. People here spend their last dime to party and stage events, man going broke afterwards. Why they're willing to go broke over an event, I can't imagine.
Over the last couple of years, there's been an upsurge in the number of folks starting up their event planning companies.
The competition among them is fierce, even though the market is abundant.
I got this idea by looking at your former business, Limos.com and I believe it's going to fly.
I don't know how to code a website like Limos.com but I'm determined to learn how to. To this end, I've already ordered PHP, web programming and web design videos online (still waiting for them to arrive) and i'm already learning via google!
I'm dedicationg the next 9 months to learn how to build such a website, and I know i'll do it.
Now back to the idea:
What kinds of events can visitors choose planners for?
--------------------------------------------------------
1. Annual General Meetings
2. Executive Meetings
3. Music/Comedy shows
5. Seminars and Trainings
6. Exhibitions
7. Book Readings/Signings
8. Weddings
9. Birthdays
10. Retirement Parties
11. Book Launches
12. Graduation parties
13. etc
Who are my clients?
-------------------
1. Event planning companies
The website's Target Audience Is
---------------------------------
1. Publishers
2. Entertainment companies (comedy, music, film)
3. Corporate bodies
4. Government establishments
5. General Public
6. Schools
7. etc
My Marketing Plan is...
-----------------------
1. Cold call and physically visit event planners offices and sell the service to them.
2. Talk to magazines that people who plan events read and get them to become our affiliates. In essence, do a JV with them by getting them to give us space in their magazines and plug in their affiliate links.
3. Talk to popular bloggers in my country and get them to allocate banner space on their websites and plug in their affiliate links.
4. I also plan to build mini affiliate-versions of our site for each of our JV partners.
5. I also plan to build sub-portals of the websites for each event planner listing on the site. The sub-portals will showcase their owwn offerings solely.
6. I'm still thinking of more
What I want is your honest opinion (what you think), as i'm determined to execute the idea no mater anyone's opinion.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Cheers Bro.
Ronald.
