First Attempt: No Users

[Danzaland]

I set up a video shoot for today for my start-up VideoandResume.com. I didn't get any takers. I know this is my fault due to lack of promotion on my end. Next time more flyers, a posted sign, and more word of mouth/networking.

In short I am trying to build a large talent pool of job candidates by shooting a video intro of them and posting it online (for $5). As the pool grows I will approach small and medium businesses to get them to sign up to look through my talent pool (via subscription). Today I had hoped to grow the pool to more than me and 2 of my friends.
I did how ever work out the jitters of putting myself out there, and used the time to come up with a better game plan for next time.

Want more info about this project? Let me know. Your comments and critiques are welcome.
