The problem it solves
Creative individuals often lack accountability and motivation. This platform would foster a community of like-minded people who can push each other to be better and more innovative.
How it makes money
Revenue could come from subscription fees, entry fees for competitions, and sponsorship deals with brands in the creative space.
Skills you need
Web development, community management, marketing, and an understanding of creative industries.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of online creative communities on platforms like Discord allows for easy connection among individuals seeking competition in various creative fields. A viable first-revenue move is to launch competitions through established creative subreddits where participants can pay entry fees to compete for prizes. A risk to consider is the potential for high customer acquisition costs, especially if the platform relies heavily on paid advertising to attract users.
