So I taught myself how to program and make fairly simple web applications but I can't seem to think of a project that is both immediately profitable and reasonable to get up and running by myself with my limited time/knowledge. this is the best I've got so far but i'm having trouble figuring out how to determine if anyone else would use the service. so i'll just start by asking you guys.
the one sentence description of my service would be:
Browse and subscribe to the categories you want to be notified of promotions for or communicate your offer to subscribers.
Essentially you would enter your email address and be presented with checkboxes for every type of product and checking the box would 'subscribe' you to that category. Advertisers/anyone can see how many people are subscribed and use my system to submit a headline that will link to a URL of their choice. This headline/link would be emailed in a once-a-day email to each consumer subscribed to the list.
Because the advertiser has to pay to submit, i'm hoping this would minimize spam so the value to the consumer is a curated list of special pricing/promotions regarding only the type of products they are interested in and the value to the marketer is a cost effective way to get their product in front of people that are looking specifically for that type of product.
In my mind, this seems like a great idea but how would i go about promoting a service like this? i doubt there is many people googling for 'bla bla deals via email' that i could target any keywords for. is this something i should pursue or are their too many unknowns to put that amount of time into?
