I like the general idea about peer-coaching, but why web entrepreneurs? IMHO such tools would be more valuable for non-web specialty skills, where RTFM isn't an option. e.g. I use you tube to learn how to do oil changes for my car.
any insight on why didn't it work with coaches? too many conflicts? not enough incentives?
- aymeric 16y ago> web entrepreneurs Because it is a world that I understand better, and because I feel the need for this app, I think others might as well. > IMHO such tools would be more valuable for non-web specialty skills Interesting feedback. I haven't considered that approach. This seems like a whole new branch to explore. What craft would be more inclined to need online peer-coaching in your opinion? > why didn't it work with coaches? It is too hard to find true passionnate coaches. I aimed to speak with business coaches to avoid the life gurus, but it was still hard to find people who were acting with integrity. > too many conflicts? What conflicts are you thinking about? > not enough incentives? What kind of incentives do you have in mind? Thanks for your interest, I was a bit disappointed not to get much feedback from post in HN.
- anmol 16y agoIMHO really think you need to aim outside your demographic, pick a lot of non-web / computing skills. You'd be surprised how much value tech can add in basic professions. Also, learn to partner. Go to the local cleaning-maids agency, ask them if you can setup a free peer coaching site for their maids. Or for the local cab company, or the construction site. No cost to them. Even if # of users are small, they will be targeted. Great for ad-based revenue. CPM / CPCs increase drastically when the content and users are targeted.
