I am a UF
online student who still has not graduate. My talent lies in having skill
learning new concept, being able to leave good impression with people I met and
being able to come up with creative solution. I have some basic technical skill
when it comes to computer, an while I would not be able to create a program
from scratch. I can do thing like designing a website. I also have some financial
and mathematical skill from courses I taken from UF. I feel like starting this business
would take a lot of time and effort from my part, as I would have to gather
basic level funding on my own to pay from programmer for the basic program or
take my programming class to do it myself. I feel I would wait to graduate
before starting it, but once that happen, I would dedicate one half of my time
looking for work and another half progressing on this project. I would do this
until I get to the phase where I get publisher, where I feel I could take the
large risk of working full time on finalizing the app program
My app offers a
tool to mainly help people better focus on their class and push them to be able
to perform their best in their online classes. This is done by creating app
that help guide student to work in a more diligently in their online class.
This is done by two main way, the first being serving as calendar alarm for due
assignment for online classes. This will prevent due date of assignment catching
up to them unprepared and forcing them to rush those assignment. Not having
study enough before an exam. The second aspect will be system that lock down distraction
coming from a person computer and phone. This aspect reinforces the first
aspect, as people could reminded of due date but could still be distracted by
the internet and social media, when they trying to work. So, having a program
that shut down those distraction during work time
My main customer will be mainly people just starting out doing
online class for the first time. Another possible customer base will be those
who have procrastinating problem, doing their online class. For the first customer base they will be
attracted to this app due to them most likely having done physical class all
their life, at such app that force strict schedule like how physical classes
due will help them adjust do well in their class. Their will be exception to
this of course like people who have been home schooled, but they will be
statistically minority. The second customer base will be people that have been
having problem with their online class due to procrastination and other problem.
Even though this app idea came to me to help the second customer base, which I mean
those who are having problem with their online class. This customer base I felt
though would be much smaller in number in general and has chance of having
personality that those not desired to improve themselves
I feel like people would be willing to pay for this app, as
people have paid for less specialize app of this type like “forest”. Of course,
that is app is more limited than my idea due to only looking down your phone and
not setting up alarm based on UF class due date. Also, along with the base price
of the app, I do not now, if should do It theme based like forest and give
random digital goods to represent their progress that can be gain through
repeated use of app or purchase with real money. For now, that I would prefer
to do a one-time payment, but depending on how costly this project is other
mean of making money to be able to make a profit out of this idea
I feel like I am ideal for this job, due to being someone
who desired to change the situation I am and to find way to improve my work ethic,
when it come to my online class. Along with having and currently experience
online class make me able to understand the customer base. This give me insight
on how they might think about this app. I am also bilingual with my first
language I ever learn have been Spanish. This mean I can communicate with
customer base, who only speak Spanish. Along with being positioned to spread
this app to Spanish speaking market. I also some who like to research a lot of
thing and read comment about the same topic in different media site to see many
different perspectives. At such I would able to look how different type of
people are reacting to my app.
I general I feel like I have good idea on my skills and what
type app I want to propose as my business idea. I also have a good idea on my customer
base in term of which people will be interested in my product. Though I am unsure
of the size of my customer base since the thing that I have analysis have been
based on more general app. Also due to my app having more feature I am sure on
how it should be prize compare to those app. Especially due to those app having another payment model than just the one time purchase they already have due to the theme they used. I
feel like have good idea on what aspect of the job of producing this app I
could do on my own and what type I think I would need outside help. I overall need
to think about how large by customer base would be and what would be the ideal
price model to best serve their need.
I have not received any feedback to be able to modify my
napkin. But thing I feel from rereading my work that I could improve on would
be adding more payment model like subscription-based model. Look for more
unique trait I have for the last section. As while those traits do differ me
from a lot people, it still hard to say if am truly unique. Also looking up
more specific data customer base for the general app I talked about before
would be help. As while their customer base would be much larger due to being
design for general used, it would help give some ballpark number for the size
for my customer base.
