The market, and why this works now
AI advancements, particularly in natural language processing like ChatGPT, enable personalized life coaching at scale. A strong initial revenue move could involve partnering with online communities focused on personal development, such as specific subreddits or Facebook groups, to offer exclusive content or discounted subscriptions. A key risk to consider is customer acquisition costs, which may be high if reliance on paid advertising becomes necessary for user growth.
