Is a means to an end type service worth doing???
Okay I'm thinking I'm onto something now....
I broke out an old project that I was working on. I had come up with a new USP for it. And I wrote up the sales letter. The USP is fairly convincing. It's also on an electronic product which is nice. The site could be set up as nearly like a hands free passive income stream.
My challenge is the service. I know I can deliver on "some levels", but I know this would be rather challenging.
Like I'll try and give you a few examples:
1) you join a dating agency. They match you up with a compatible date. But they can't promise it will be a match, or that you'll fall in love.
2) a SEO company, they try and get you onto page 1 of google, but they really can't guarantee it orangically. So again, they often promise a lot but can't alway give the exact end results.
3) some weight loss program, again they try, but again they can't guarantee because of too many variables.
4) Movie actors agent, they charge the actor a fee to represent them. They get the actor auditions. The actor goes to the audition. But the agent can't guarantee the end result, the actual movie role.
These are say a few "means to an end" type of services, but that don't guarantee "the end". I feel like they're sort of a necessary evil in society, but as a marketer do you venture into those areas or not???
I'm just annoyed because I have this good idea, and I think it would actually sell, but the challenge again is the service side. I'm not sure if I can deliver that's the problem. I can on "some levels", but likely not a slam dunk over night 110% guaranteed sure thing, like many other businesses face.
So I'm just not sure what to do with this. I know that over time I could refine the service. So if it starts selling lets say really invest a lot of time and energy into the service to try and make it the best I can. But again I know it would be a bit challenging.
so I guess my question is, should I explore this new idea anyway? And try and iron out the bugs later? Or just leave it and find something else?
Just that I have a lot of good idea. not a lot of great ideas. But I feel like this could be a "great idea", potentially. I mean it's better than a lot of things I've come up with lately. So that's why I'm eager to give it a try, and maybe fix any bugs with it later.
What do you suggest I do?:confused:
Passive income since 2007. Trying to consistently crack 5-figures/month. find what you love - dream big - work hard
