    Hi folks!

    I've come up with a little business/marketing idea to help pay for my college studies. Let me know what you think of it!

    The link is:

    Wesellpaperplanes.com



    PS. Sorry if this post is not acceptable, but I'm hoping it's relevant.

    I don't know if you ever going to make money of it, but the design looks awesome!

    maybe put some pictures of the plans and a video of them in action. and possible even bring the price down, i mean i dont want to buy 1 $10USD paper plane when i dont even know how good it is with out some video evidence and even than they would want to be pretty good for that much. In the mean time while there is no video put up some specs of how fast and the distance and sizes and stuff like that.

    Hi,

    Its a new idea surely but not sure if people will get the interest to buy a paper pane (cause this thing will not effect their business anyway).

    Still idea is good , a new one too...

    pfft, not for $1000
    We can buy actual mini planes at shops for with different designs for $0.50 - $0.70 each (and thats a much better product as opposed to what your product is)

    EDIT:
    I am sorry, I didnt realise that this was planes that you personally create and send out.
    In this case, you have concerns over weather, worries of it being damaged in shipping, as well as shipping costs (international).

    Just a thought, A much better idea might be to have a site teaching how to create your areoplanes, with a filelocker style system, so that if people want to watch your movies and learn from you how to make paper areoplanes, then you earn from each time someone comes online to learn.

    It would be less effort on your behalf and you might have people interested in trying it out that otherwise wouldnt.

    EDIT #2:
    If you create a gig on fiverr, you can add in the shipping costs and stuff. You might not get $10 per plane, but you might get $4 plus it would cover all the costs of shipping, and with each fiverr sale, put a note with your website address and email contact, so that repeats can pay directly to you.
    Just a thought.

    I like it! Promote it as a Christmas gift and work that angle. Very cool idea and I like the pricing structure.

    Ignore everyone try to get you to low ball. If they wanna top ramen every night because they are selling themselves for three dollars a day let em!

    I think that you ought to include pictures of the actual paper plane that you are selling.

    I think you have got a very good idea but you should make good implementation of it in order to get success on this idea. Its little tough and it might take lots of time to click
