A new biz op!

Yesterday I had a convo with my mom on skype and managed to tech her some stuff with creating accounts, logging in and out, switching between accounts and some other stuff, took me an hour only, and i was not even mad.

I'm thinking to open an Senior Internet School to help elderly people do shit online with less stress.

Teaching kids requires licensing but no need to do that for adults.

Whatcha think?

A friend of mine tried something like this about 5 years ago. He set up a website that had basic instructions for common things people do online (email, Facebook, messaging etc.) and he offered lessons and even group classes. What he found was that there were a fair number of older people who wanted to learn this stuff and would gladly take his classes, but none of them wanted to pay for it. He tried several different things to drum up business but it all ended in the same way, they thought they should get it for free, or they simply didn't have the money to hire him.

It could work, but it will likely be a very rough haul.

I've spent $10k already this year on online classes.

Create something of value and market the hell out of it.

Value. Exactly.

Will you ACTUALLY pay for it? If you won't, it won't work. Straight up. It's an honest conversation with yourself!
