I am interested in getting some feedback on my idea.... Basically I run a web design and marketing company and have the opportunity to generate leads for a resume writing service . So what I thought is that I would setup a website, where we could sell resume writing packages, I was thinking like maybe work with 2-4 resume writers . I would create the website, do the marketing, get the orders, all you would have to do is write the resumes and communicate with the customer you are writing for . As far as revenue, I am thinking about 50%-50% split . I am thinking about pricing the service to consumers between $60-$99/resume . My Questions to you : 1, Does this sound like an interesting idea to you? 2, Do you think the revenue share I propose is fair ? 3, Any additional comments welcome Thanks for any comments ! Muki
I think the revenue share for that particular service should be skewed more favorably to the person actually providing the service. 50-50 splits just aren't as attractive as they may have been a few years back with all kinds of companies offering more for different types of writing. The fact that you're not paying them up front also indicates that you need to offer something else as an incentive than just 50-50. Also, your overall prices look very low. That might be good for customers, but I've seen a lot of people paying that much to twice that for resume writers (whereas you're only offering half of it), so you would be hard-pressed to get real professionals (and when your clients are relying on them to get them jobs, you'll want that).
Thanks Jenn for the input . I see, maybe we should be working with higher price and offer more share to the writers, I am not saying this is set in stone that is why I am asking for feedback . I would definitely like to offer high quality resume writing, so I understand if the bar needs to be raised as far as the price and the rev. share split is concerned . Any more suggestions ? P.S. As far as paying for services, please refer to my iTrader ratings, thanks .
