Hi. I'll make this short and sweet. The Idea: Turning people's photos (head shots only) into avatars to look more realistic instead of customizing a "template" model like at YIM, IMVU or similar service (though those are free) to look as "close" to the end-user as it can possibly get. I want to give people the ability to have a face on the Internet without them having to post their actual photo online or use the customizable premade avatars of YIM, IMVU and such. I'd like to create something for people that is theirs and nobody else's. Something that is more likely to be unique that they can use anywhere they please, than being restricted to an avatar that is more than likely to look like the next end-user. Important: If you do not have the answer to the below question, then please don't post until you do. Only posts that answer the question below are considered quality posts and deserving of great rep points. Anything else that does not answer the question (like for example, your opinions whether it's a good or bad idea) will be considered off-topic, in which case please open your own thread with off-topic information that doesn't answer my question below. The Question to Answer: How would I go about finding my market for this idea? Thank you in advance.
I make a few avatars myself and it is a very competitive market, I presume you will making your own website One way is to get a good Google search engine ranking for the keywords that would describe your product. If you can get a link from a high profile graphics site or similar it helps. Then of course there is the old favourite the Adwords campaign. Good Luck Acorn7
