I have a few profitable business but one of them has been growing that I would like to find a way to monetize it further. However, I don't mind doing the research in attempting to find the right technology platform to hit the vision goals, but need some assistance on finding a direction.
The story of the start of this adventure:
I started doing speaking engagements to help find new customers and establish my main company as the expert and find leads. It went well for a while but it didn't create the right engagement that I was hoping. So I re-branded the events and changed the tone and Wala! I now have 600 members and 80-100 people attending the events and now other offices in CA and WA are starting the group in their local area. I then created a (simple website) and started posting forms and documents that the people can downloard....Wala again it worked and it made sales. Then I made a webinar and got 50 rsvp on the first attempt....so at least it is of interest.
Anyways...here comes to my next thoughts. At the event last week, I realized that only 1/4 of the group found the event via facebook...the other 1/4 was meetup.com...and the 1/2 was word of mouth.....So I realized I was smart in using meetup.com and facebook to get started but only on facebook am I on a group platform to engage 1/4 of the members. So how can I engage on a platform that most will participate in?
I reached out for some marketing people and they put me in touch with a company called (Far Shore). They help build the background platform to build the website, app, and plugins. The phase 1 is blueprint and that cost is around $2500. Then they said that will determine how much the build out will cost. I'm on a budget because I'm not sure how far I can take this concept and still make sales.
Anyways after research....
I think I can make a forum....use tapatalk to make the apps and ads...and use a program for sales on forms and documents. The closest person out in the world that I found was kinda similar to the vision ended up making their own plaform because they grew fast and out paced the word press sites with plugins. So I would need a platform that can start...but then be able to change it if the concept does grow around America into other cities. Keep In mind I'm in three states right now. I'll also need a "contributer" platform that could assist in driving engagement, post their approved items for sale..and we split in the costs.
Any help or thoughts is greatly appreciated!
