What do you think about this business?

[theBiz]

I have for a long time been very intrigued by a website that connects contractors and people looking for contractors.. main competitors are angieslist and bid clerk.

I feel contractors are desperate for leads so while there are competitors i believe there is still room. I have thought of a few different ways to monetize alone with monthly fees and lead gen.

Im currently focusing on something else but feel in about a year i will be able to step back a bit and or to keep people busy move forward with this idea.

Getting about 300 -400 real jobs on site initially (2 weeks)
Getting about 300-400 contractors to join (3 weeks)


Do you guys see a strong reason for a consumer to put their job details online? I would think most people only use referrals but maybe im wrong. I love the business idea and business model as well. For some reason i believe i could get a ton of members quickly plus build the platform very quickly as well. Again i do not have time now but have it in the back of my head for the future.
