The problem it solves
Many writers struggle with the initial drafting process, feeling blocked when writing directly on a page. Existing writing resources do not emphasize the use of voice memos, which can facilitate a more natural and fluid writing process.
How it makes money
One-time purchase for course access or subscription model for ongoing content.
Skills you need
Experience in teaching writing, familiarity with audio editing tools, and knowledge of the writing process.
The market, and why this works now
Advances in mobile technology have made voice memo applications, like Apple’s Voice Memos, widely accessible and user-friendly, allowing writers to capture thoughts quickly without the pressure of traditional writing. A good first-revenue move could involve promoting the course through writing-focused subreddits, such as r/writing or r/writers, where members often seek new tools and methods for overcoming writer's block. A key risk is the potential for high customer acquisition costs, especially if competition emerges in the online course space, requiring effective marketing strategies to ensure profitability.
