Idea : Connecting Businesses and Content Creators

Hey Indie Hackers Community!

I am new here and have just joined the platform but I am delighted to see the kind of posts and people here. This is all I was searching for, since long. Grateful to have joined you all. Hope I could bring value to the community.

I have been thinking about an idea for a few months, did some business research, prototyping, and pitched the idea to some people I know. The idea is to connect businesses and content creators.

IDEA
The idea is to connect businesses and content creators.
Businesses are looking to market their product to their respective target audiences while content creators face the problem of financing their work unless they have a side job. I aim to build the product as a marketplace where businesses can directly contact content creators to market their products. The key features include searching, analyzing, and contacting creators directly and pay them a pre-decided fixed cost without negotiation, which will be increasing the efficiency of campaigns.

TESTING
This is done by many agencies (which charge hefty commissions and are not scalable) providing validation for the idea. Still, I tested it myself. My father owns a business of imitation jewelry (wholesale) on which I tested the idea by collaborating with a youtube creator having just 150 subscribers. The video got about 1K views and I converted 2-3 clients doing almost Rs. 10K (about $136) business with them by paying Rs. 500 (about 7$) to the creator.

CONCLUSION
If you guys have come this far, perhaps you are interested in the idea and I would really be grateful if you could provide some feedback (can be related to business, product development, user acquisition, etc.). If anyone of you own a business or are a content creator, I would urge you to join the waiting list here, inad.umso.co. Also, I haven't built the product yet, because I know minimal coding. But I just discovered bubble.io and would like any of your tips to build apps on bubble.

This has been a long one but thanks for reading it!
