Fireworks_Jessica Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Hi there everyone, As you can probably tell from my post count I'm very new to this forum, so please don't flame me too much (*if you're gonna*). Me and a partner are interested in offering up a quite revolutionary course aimed at men that would effectively teach them; confidence building, the art of the pickup and dating the women they deserve. This course wouldn't be your regular crappy eBook product that retails at $50 odd (which in and of it self is a ridiculous idea), but instead a video course which shows in practice basic principals and scenarios common the to the pickup and dating scene, how to avoid the pit-falls and what not. Another factor that would be unique would be that the course would be structured and designed from the perspective of what women want from men, kind of a see inside the other's mind kind of system. Loveshack is one of the biggest dating forums on the internet, so I thought best to ask here and gauge interest as to whether or not this would be something you would be interested in getting involved in. Please, if you have the time, comment with any ideas you'd like to be included within the course, price points you would consider paying for such a course etc. I know it's a bit cheap of me to not do paid market research, however this way I feel that I can actually interact with the members of this forum and, if I can see enough interest, go and secure the funds to produce such a course. Can't wait to hear what you have to say, Jessica.
carhill Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Be sure to include a section delineating the interaction of 'want' and 'attraction' wrt women. Probably the most important part. Price it under 100 bucks or, in this economy, it'll benefit you and you alone, meaning few if any will buy it. If it's going to be video (ala DVD/downloadable), capitalize professional quality production and editing equipment, or subcontract it. Don't skimp on quality. Build a following with 'tips' uploaded to youtube. Make it unique, funny, yet informative and build an audience. People talk to other people; more watch and there ya go. Of course, have a professional web site in place prior to any marketing/promotion happening. OK, time to go make a pizza
zebracolors Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Don't know if you're going to get many replies. Are you simply doing research here, or looking for interest in your idea for a product?
Author Fireworks_Jessica Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 I'm looking for a bit of both to be honest. Looking at carhill's post it seems that perhaps the people won't be nearly as inclined to buy such a course. I knew the dating market was hit hard by the economy, however, and one reply is not nearly enough to base an assumption on. Although a 15k post count speaks for it self. .
carhill Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I've also been self-employed for 20+ years. I've made plenty of mistakes along the way, the most critical in proper marketing and pricing. What's your target demographic, presuming single men? What are your prospective distribution channels? I've bought any 'relationship' (for me they were trying to save my marriage) books/DVD's off of Amazon. One click and free shipping as applicable. What are your credentials? Psychologist? Clinical Social Worker? Much of what you're delving into requires a knowledge of human psychology and human interaction. Professional education would be helpful. I recently spent 99.00 for six months of Yahoo Personals. Why? I have a decade long business relationship with Yahoo, their product is seamless with the other products I use, and it provided the best options for dating in my area. What synergy to you foresee for your product? Food for thought. Enjoy
boogieboy Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Jessica coming to a forum wont help you. You have to actually hit the bars, clubs, and ask people on the street. If you cant depend on your own experience, then you have a whole lot of research to do. I think you need to pick up those dating books and pickup artist books to see what they have in common, and try out what works in real life.
