| I've had a browse on ResearchNation and I find it confusing. I read your FAQ's page and it was still hard to understand the use-cases. Is it the reviews of the reports that your selling? I can't imagine a passionate user base for either side of the transaction - and with social sites you need one group of people to drive the site forward (either supply or demand) What kind of reviews are they meant to be? Voicing their own opinion or rating the report? As for the hate calls from the publishers, was it nonsense ranting or were they very specific about why they were angry? Seems you touched a nerve that maybe worth listening to. It's passionate feedback all the same! If you're convinced you need to pivot, go towards a marketplace you are interested & excited in & would use yourselves frequently. Airbnb style companies sell things people have to 'spare'. e.g space to crash on the floor, gig tickets, hours for errands, space in the car on a long journey. Find a demand and then build a system based on housing the supply. There are so many potential routes. It all depends on what you're interested in. Perhaps something along the lines of people selling spare seats at their dinner table (is that a bit weird?) i.e we're having spaghetti thursday - 2 free spaces $10 each. Other potential ideas 1. Flash sale on discount meals available at restaurants.
2. Last minute surplus seating at sports events, theatres & movies.
3. Holidays, travel tickets that people want to sell, Anything at the crossroads of convenience and big savings is sure to be a winner. Let us know what you decide upon! |
