What Do You Think ?

I've been working on a how-to report on a service business that I ran for a little over a year and then sold for a nice income.

The business I sold was a local email coupon club service that helped local business owners collect their customers email address and to get the customers to sign up to receive coupons and special offers from different local businesses. The business owners paid a monthly service fee and the customers could sign up for the service for free.

I know email marketing is huge, but very few local businesses advertise to their customers this way, so this is why I'm writing a step-by-step report on the business idea as it's a niche.

Do you think there is a market online for me to sell my report to?

The other thing about this service business is that I can write a report for both the business owner on how to collect their customers email addresses and send their coupons to or I can write a business opportunity report on how to provide the service to local businesses.

Which report do you think I should write first and why?

Thanks for your help!

Martin

Re: What Do You Think ?

I would focus on the business of working with small business owners and marketing their businesses and not have them do it theirselves. Most do not have the time. If you want to make bigger bucks I would develop the concept into a franchise and sell it over and over. If you are taking the time to put a report together why not a franchise manual?
