Is my business idea viable?
staunch: I think there's probably a ton of one-man businesses out there that want to buy advertising, but don't have the technical or financial means to do AdWords (or similar) effectively. If those people could risk $50-$100 on sponsoring some content to see what kind response they get, I think some would.If you can make it so people can generate sales by spending $50-$100 at a time that would be of great value.A newsletter seems like a very good idea, although I doubt you should restrict yourself to that. Also, I think many (not all) small businesses will want to advertise locally. You should make sure businesses only see requests for sponsorship they might conceivably sponsor.I don't like the domain at all. I think it'd be much better to find a single made up word that's brandable, or a multi-word domain that's not a misspelling.I don't know how you're planning to make money, but I don't think anyone would complain if you took a cut of the ad buy.
