Microbusiness idea: Entertainment consultant
Do
you want to start a microbusiness with next to no startup costs?
Mark usually keeps his spare microbusiness ideas to himself, but I
thought I'd throw this one out to the world since we don't have the
skills to turn it into a reality (and we'd really like to take
advantage of the service!)
Mark and I agree that we
would pay at least $10 per month for an
entertainment consultant service, someone who would read a
questionnaire about our movie preferences and pick out movies for us to
put on our Netflix queue. Netflix does its best to suggest movies
we'll like, but their formula is sad, sad, sad --- the program can't
seem to
understand that I rate a movie one star simply because I just can't
stand Jim
Carey and that Mark will watch absolutely any movie that revolves
around
time travel.
After that initial
questionaire, the entertainment consultant would
just have to delve into his mental data banks once or twice a week to
pick out perfect movies for each client, then read email feedback to
tweak his choices for next time. I suspect that someone who
enjoys all kinds of movies and is a good people-person could build up a
clientele pretty quickly.
I hope someone will take
Mark's idea and run with it...and then come back here and let me know
how we can sign up. That's how I calculate the quality of a
microbusiness idea --- if the skinflint in me is willing to pay for it,
I figure anyone in their right mind will too.
