Idea for a mentor system

See this is the kind of guidance I would like, just that backing linking bit, a step in the right direction thank you very much.

So say for instance if I set up a subscirtion web mentoring service for SEO, marketing, Social etc offered a personal guided service for say £30 a month and then offered people with knowledge how would you like to earn £1 every tip you give in an email, £30 a month = email a day, or something like that scenario.

I think it's a decent outsourcing type business, could generate a decent amount of cash with minimal effort.

So lets say if I chuck some money on backlinking that would be the way to generate interest and traffic? Mainly targeted traffic. If you're right I'm giving you 10% dude for that line alone!!

Forums like this would be perfect to advertise on to both gain outsourcers and gain noobs looking for the step in the right direction, an email a day is not hard so could easily make £100/300 a day answering essentially forum post like questions, but from a respected marketer.

I think the business concept could sell itself and have a few of these in other niche fields that would be worth exploring (so steal this one all you want for your own business) it's just how to generate lots of free traffic with minimal effort. SEO/Forum/Lists pooling resources seems the best way to go in my mind and gaining insight from people that do it themselves on a regular basis for a fair stake. 10% isn't bad when you're generating 10,000 a month! And I think I have solid ideas to get the conversions.

Thanks for the posts guys, yeah I have a budget I can spend on it, would like to at least be able to bring some regular organic traffic from SEO and free Ezine articles. Am going through Yoast SEO on wordpress now. And just signed up for adwords.

Maybe three months isn't a good idea, I do have an idea based around this concept that I think is worth developing such as a paid for mentoring system, maybe subscription service where you answer emails in one package are allowed a Skype minutes as well on another etc, places I've seen look extremely scammy and have skills to design something really nice to use.

I definitely more of an ideas guy, got a few really good ideas for businesses, quite inspired one's if I don't mind saying myself. But would like some guidance into making a successful online presence with them. Was just starting with the blog as a testing ground for traffic and SEO skills, then will explore how to use the concepts for the better business models.

Would love to collaborate with someone, as I reckon a few good ideas to offer and a few niche skills and connections and have identified a few gaps in the market in places IM people aren't usually exposed to.

30% for three months doesn't sound amazing, I would be down to go 50% for life with the right mentor, sounds stupid but reckon groups of people can achieve things greater than the sum of their individual parts!

I guess you could be right, there are a few thousand people with an IQ of 135 and an arrogant mindset like mine!

I wrote up a business plan and been accepted for a government grant in UK up to 10k, so good to hear someone thinks I can make money with the plan. Have the site finished and product/service being sold has no overheads costs. It's a unique idea that's not a scam, so reckon I stand a fighting chance in making profit.

After doing all my research the way to spend the 10k is on marketing and advertising the project on social media outlets like facebook and Twitter. Given I have social networks in the thousands and a few of my friends have also, I can pay alot less for advertising than ppc, cpm or ppi. Just pay for the fans to see the post which is around $20 for 5k on mine. Did I mention I have a few high profile contributors?

It's ok now I have a no2 now, was 2nd employee at a tech startup before original job and helped grow the company to 15 people, and has a very decent tech background, so feeling happy and confident. Also interest from private equity so looking decent for year one.

Would love to come back here and tell you guys after some months of trading how it's doing

Decent concepts can go along way if they are executed in the right way and serve a purpose greater than their predecessor. I have a few USP's a couple being transparency and real time feedback, the concept also incentivises social sharing.

A minimal marketing budget could still make this concept go quite far and wide with the connections I have, although having a +10k budget will make the idea go beyond expectations. Also this is just regional at present only shipping to UK, aiming at multi-regional support by end of year two. Projections for year one are 14k-77k, year two 140k-770k, but vary in scale due to the nature of the service provided. By year three with multi-regional support it could be anywhere from 1.1-6million, this is still on the conservative side of estimation as well.

It's a billion dollar industry I'm entering into, I'm sure I will piss off the big guys as I've created a more appealing structure for contributors and consumers.

I'll write back here once I've sold it for a billion in a few years!
The cool part is the idea can be transposed to a few different industries other than the niche I'm doing it in, and believe it will gain blogosphere attention quite frequently by the nature of it's egalitarian business philosophy.

Yeah so probably not the ideal thing an warrior forum member, they're like a jaded lover by now, not willing to let their heart get broken again. And also actively contributing the wealth of utter scam crap on the net, the bullied turn into the bullies!

I will have success based on the fact it's a real business that provides a real solution that's quite hard to emulate based on the back end "brick and mortar" nature of the job, it's not an automated cash flow system.

I've fiddled with SEO plugins now and will look into how to rank my page higher, only just come online so n/a at present, and want to get the business name on page one, should be easy as it's an amalgamation of words so it doesn't exist, google can find it if i put .co at the end but not just with the word itself. Just talking aloud now sorry!!

You're right though about many points and thanks for contributing to this thread I'm registered as number 8million and something in UK register, not one of those businesses does what I do! It's an exciting time!

I'd be super pissed if I were someone who passed on something that could generate that!

Sorry for not being clear about the nature of the business, could explain but concept could be stolen but reckon if someone did they would lack industry connections and resources to pull off the backend, although not impossible to gain either. Just wouldn't know what they're talking about and probably manipulate the concept to favour them and destroy one of the unique selling points, so yeah would be pretty easy to fail replicating the same exact thing, even the big cats couldn't adopt this model.
