    Default I want to help you make more money

    I have spent the last 8 months putting together a new business idea and would like some feedback from the ladies here: How can I help you make more money?

    Here's the basic idea, I am putting together a website similar to Etsy.com but designing it for dancers. I have included an answering service with live USA based operators with industry experience to help close the deal for you.

    Even better, there is never a fee to the dancers listed on the service. I plan on making money through ad revenue and directly from the clubs and customers who wish to book the dancers.

    Dancers will get a 4 page website including schedule, gallery, blog, and a booking info page. Customers can request VIP times, and schedule with you directly through the site.

    The service will send traffic to your page based on the city/state you dance in. You can list in any region you like and add as many regions as you work in. So if you like to travel between several different cities when you work, that is no problem to have you listed in all those areas.

    The phone receptionist service will respond to customer calls and emails in a prompt and friendly manner. You will get 100% control over who you wish to dance for, and are welcome to cancel a scheduled show or club shift at your whim. This is your business, you control it.

    For now I am restricting the service for club and party dancers only. I may expand to include escorts and webcam performers in the future, but for now it will be limited to live strip tease performances.

    So, what do you think? Did I forget anything? I will be starting a focus group in early June and expect to have the Beta version ready to launch by the end of the summer.

    OMG, this is ironic! We should talk... I was like two steps behind you. Yes, there are a couple of other things that would be good to include.

    It sounds like a very cool idea.

    Will you have "featured" dancers like every month or week or something? Or have dancers pay a small fee to show up first on searches or in banners or something similar?

    I've been thinking on this, and I'm not sure how to approach this aspect of the business. First I've got make sure everything works the way it's supposed to, then I'll deal with the featured entertainer aspect of the business in the beta launch phase.

    I'll probably do test markets for a variety of ideas to see which will work the best.

    Kylea2, I'll definitely call you and we can put our heads together to make a fabulous place for dancers to be free of club and/or agency abuses. My primary focus is helping dancers to run their own business in a professional atmosphere. I'd love to share ideas, and maybe even discuss a business merger? You know, strength in numbers and all that.

    This is such a great business idea! Are you planning on starting just with the US or were you going to include other regions like canada, europe, australia, etc ?

    I plan on beginning with just the USA and Canada. I'm completely open to the idea of international expansion of the service, but I have to get a handle on how the rules work in other countries first (I'd need local people to work the phone lines, have regional managers to advise on cultural expectations etc.).

    If you are interested in participating in the focus group, there will be financial compensation for your time and input. I need to limit the focus group to those who are serious about running your own business and/or those who already have their own business plans in place. Also, for simplicity reasons, the focus group is limited to US dancers.

    In the beta launch, I'll open the business service up to anyone at any level of the business, even brand new, first time dancers if they are interested.

    I am so excited about this new focus on the business. I had a moment where I would ask "Why aren't we doing things this way?" and the answer was "Because this is the way we've always done it and it is working." Except, it wasn't working. Dancers were unhappy, the customers were unhappy and the problem was a relatively easy fix, just give both what they want.

    Customers want to know who is going to dance for them and how much is it is going to cost. Dancers want to know who they are dancing for and charge what their show is worth. Cut out the middle man, and you have your ideal situation.

    We have our very first focus group participants! One male dancer and one female dancer. We are going to start with just the two, get them set up and then open up the focus group to others.

    If you want to get on the list to be in the focus groups, you can sign up here: http://rivercitystrippers.com/freedom.html

    I am so thankful that I have full time tech support in house! This is a mighty undertaking, but it is a service that needed to be around a long time ago. If we get enough dancers working together, we can make the industry so much better.

    Now I need feedback, to make sure the dancers are getting a level of service that allows them to concentrate on dancing. It is a lot of work to try to market yourself, keep in constant contact with regulars, maintaining a beauty care schedule, all while trying to have a life.

    oo i really like this idea! i was just wondering how customers will be able to see this website? will you advertise it alot or would we need to do that ourselves..or both?

    and is it like for customers to see which girls they like and see what club they work at and when so they can go see them?

    sorry for some reason i dont fully 100% get it but from what i understand it seems like a really good idea!
