Here's the idea π https://in-gym.online/
Hello, this is my first post on indie hackers so hi all :)
For a while I got an idea to make it easier for small businesses/influencers in fitness branch to monetize their content. Many people do online coaching and have plenty of content, however this content is often closed and shared through some private channels such as whatsapp etc.
The main product would be a SaaS platform where small businesses could share their content and create private communities which have access to the content such as workouts and meal-plans. Consumers then could subscribe to a "community" for a monthly price. The consumer part of the product would be an app where people can consume the content. As additional features, I am think of using app notifications and chat to enhance the experience between influencers and consumers.
Three main questions:
What do you think about this concept?
Would you use this kind of platforms to monetize "your" value content.
Does the site deliver the correct message?
Thanks
Hi!
Why don't you use Instagram for them to create and share contents as they are currently doing, and you create a service / dashboard where they can manage their followers, payments, etc..(This way you don't have re-invent the wheel)
You can utilize Instagram's private accounts to restrict access of the contents.
Hello, thanks for the response. I don't think the instagram API gives enough feature to fully automate this kind of idea. Their's api is very limited
