Hi There,

I'm really good at approaching women (Not bragging). More importantly, I LOVE IT! I love the interaction part, I love meeting a total stranger and convincing them to hang out with me later for a date. I LOVE IT.

How can I turn it into a business because it's something I want to do all the time?

BTW people love real 'approach' videos. I'm not a pick up artist just someone who is really good with this stuff (Anyone can be with regular practice but I LOVE DOING THIS!)

      Watch the movie Hitch, Copy His Business Plan!

      Joking aside, I think there are A lot of people who would love to know some "tricks" or confidence builders .... I Think a Nice content filled ebook would be a GREAT place to start!

      A Video Series "Course" Would also be a pretty good way to go as well Just My 2 cents

      Best of Luck!

        I'm forced to concur with my colleagues. My research indicates that is a very in demand niche. I would certainly look into creating a product.

    I don't know where you live and if you have a MIT university there.

    But if I was you, I would start a master class for those students, if you do it successfully with them you can teach all men how to approach a woman. And don’t forget write down what you learned, I’m sure it will be movie material in the future.

    You actually have a very good angle to attack the market. Many people have proven that the pickup niche is quite a lucrative one. So it's an obvious choice for someone like you who really enjoys doing this stuff.

    But I would go a different angle based on what you said before. You said you are NOT a pickup artist which I think actually works in your favor. It's like seeing a magician do a magic trick. We tend to think the magic has something to do with the magician also. Much the same with pickup artists.

    What you want to do is come from the angle of being NOT a pickup artist but just an everyday average guy that loves doing this stuff and is good at it. I'd be more inclined to listen to tips from someone like you (rather than a pickup artist) because I would instantly feel they are more realistic and achievable for me... and that I'm not actually manipulating women. So use that angle to your advantage.

    The obvious way to start getting your name out there is to wack on a lapel mic, get a friend with a video camera, and start doing some approach videos and posting them on Youtube. You are right that people love watching those sorts of videos. That should very quickly start building you a fan base and then you can sell more intensive training or even small workshops.

    I'd start by writing and making videos. You'll want to demonstrate proof that you're capable of doing what you say you are. Get a YouTube channel, introduce yourself, have a blog, and just post useful and interesting content related to what you're already passionate about.

    Once you've built an audience you can start thinking about how to monetize that- offer 1-1 coaching lessons over Skype, etc. Lots of things you can do. Start by making a name for yourself.

    Do what WillR says. He always has good ideas!

    It sounds like you'll be a natural youtube hit. If people like you in real life they'll like you on video too.

    The seduction/dating advice niche is very competitive. Do your research before entering it. You will probably need some capital to compete on a level playing field with the top guys.

    Also some of them use what I consider immoral marketing techniques. False scarcity, hidden continuity etc. Yes it's about making money, but not about alientating your prospects. Be careful not to fall into that trap.

    Finally, consider your advertising channels. Facebook Ad rules are stringent & they frequently rejected my ads. JVs are difficult, because in essence a lot of the "gurus" running these businesses are deep down insecure little boys that learned a few tricks about picking up women, and they feverishly defend their guru status & followers as they are worried that their house of cards will fall down around them.

    If you're serious about this, drop me a PM, as I already have a site in this niche which I am about to rebrand.

    I have created a quite detailed business strategy, and I am looking for authority writers, content providers & ultimately dating coaches, to contribute to the rebrand & relaunch with a unique & ethical marketing idea which is likely to get the competition running scared.

      Start a youtube channel demonstrating you picking up and flirting with women.

      Post often, build an audience, from there you can create a product, membership, event, coaching etc.

      Pardon me, but I just have to ask, being a female and all.

      Are you a good looking guy? I mean if you are, that probably goes a long way in you approaching and getting the attention of girls/women. So, if you put up videos of you doing so, wouldn't a lot of guys who are, well, less than handsome automatically think that it wouldn't work for them because they may be a bit homely?

      Oh, and I'm confidant that I wouldn't give the time of day to a guy named mummy, haha! :p

        I don't think he's necessarily a good looking guy.

        In fact you'll find a lot of the guys that do very well with women are the average looking guys because they have learnt to work harder for it than the good looking guys who just get attention naturally. Just like you find a lot of good looking people are boring as hell because they have never had to work hard at proving themselves.

      That basically is what the PUA people sell, at least on the front of it. It's a tough market for sure, so be willing to put the time in.

    Looks like you have a nice signature.

    Maybe you can create yourself a pdf to give away and build yourself another list in another market. (dating) (how to approach and talk to women) With out doing any research I would suggest it has a good demand but better check to make sure its worth your time.

    Build a list and share content with your subscribers is a great way to build an asset.

    hahaha you guys are all awesome! lol Am I a good looking guy haha (That had me rolling on the floor). Wow didn't realize dating is such an interesting niche to ppl on WF.

    I guess it all depends on who looks at you. However, I do agree with WillR. For guys, looks help but if you don't have a brain behind your looks it won't work. Female are attracted guys who are well . . . Men (They know what they want, are passionate and humor is always a plus).

    By the way TerraK, congratulations on your 30th anniversary . Yes the 'Mummy' name is when I used to be involved with the "PUA" community (Yuk!) but glad I'm out of it. It was suppose to symbolize 'resurrection' - go figure lol

    Anyways, guys, once again. thanks for the input. Appreciate it. I got a youtube channel up and running with real videos of me so if anyone is interested, just PM me. Love to hear your feedback. Thanks! JB

    You have to give lessons to those who are shy and don't feel they are attractive enough. You can create a blog and promote good affiliate products about dating in the beginning, and perhaps later write your own ebook about how a man can be successful with women even if they are not attractive.

    You should collect email addresses from the beginning of your affiliate promotions. Find a nice free ebook about dating or write down a short ebook with tips yourself and give it away at your blog, and in exchange collect email addresses to build your email list.

    You should promote various products to your audience, and write about your knowledge about this matter.

    There is competition everywhere. You will beat the competition if you will be original and you will attract some people online.

    You have to be helpful. Think about how you can help those who have big problems when they want to approach a woman.

    Showing videos of you approaching and talking to woman is a great way to create credibility for you that you know what you are doing, or that you can approach women like you say.

    That is like someone coming onto this site and showing videos of his bank account showing that he can make money.

    Those things are good credibility builders and proof.

    And obviously you want to go further than that.

    Your customers will want to know what are you saying, how are you introducing yourself

    How are you starting the conversation, how are you continuing to hold a conversation?

    What is your mindset when you approach a woman? How do you deal with fear, uncertainty, etc

    My point is your customers aren't going to care about watching YOU talk to women as much as them wanting to know how THEY are going to be able to talk to women.

    I also think that Terra had a great point.

    If I see myself as a fat slob with crooked teeth and not the greatest grooming habits, and I watch your video and you are this Brad Pitt look-alike with six-pack abs, then that is going to affect whether or not I believe I will be able to do what you do.

    And the sad case is that the opposite could elicit a similar response. If you are a fat slob with crooked teeth and someone sees you on the arm of a beautiful woman, usually the reaction is she is probably after you because of your money.

    Those are things you will probably have to deal with.

      OP, if you're that good with the ladies then here's the perfect job for you - as a condom tester for Durex.

      Most would take your claims with a pinch of salt. I'd suggest a pinch of viagra . . . if they want to emulate them.

    well i just set-up a leadgen campaign for a similar guy with a decent landing page where he offers face to face consultation to folks needing help in their dating live. Probably a week afterwards i can tell how profitable it is. Meanwhile it might be a good idea for you to start your own coaching / consultation / whatever you call it in your country/city..
