Fisherman Matching Service

Posted by gcot in Extra Income Ideas | 0 comments

Let’s face it, you can put this together much like a dating service or a carpooling service. You will offer to match up people that have fishing in common, that for many different reasons are looking for others that enjoy the same hobby and don’t want to do it alone.

First, when someone signs up for a membership to use your type of service it will be very important to find out why he or she has signed up. Therefore, you will need to put together a well-planned questionnaire. Remember, the more questions that you ask the better, since there are various reasons for people signing up with your service. Make sure you find out if they have a preference, or requirement, when it comes to the gender of their partners. What do they want to fish for, where are they planning to fish, do they have a boat, do they prefer fishing from a bank as opposed to a boat, how big a group would they like to fish with? Do they like to fish with people that talk, drink, or smoke? When do they like to get started on their fishing trips, how long to they plan to spend fishing? As you can see, there are tons of questions.

Since this could turn out as an excellent service to start up on the Internet, you could offer to serve as large an area as you feel comfortable with offering. You could offer to match up someone that lives in New York and would like to plan a fishing trip in Montana. On the other hand, you have the option to stay small and just offer local area people the opportunity to find others that live in the same general area to fish with one day a week; this all depends on what you would like to take on.

Offering a service like this will be an adventure, get the word out that you have a great service to offer those people that love fishing. You might want to post your services at bait and tackle shops and sporting good stores. Any companies that sell fishing supplies should be target companies to try to work with. You might even contact the companies that manufacture fishing equipment. See if you can get them to offer free memberships to their customers if they buy their merchandise or spend so much money on their particular merchandise. This is a great idea to see if you can get sporting good stores to offer occasionally when they are trying to get their customers to spend a little more money on fishing supplies or just anything in the store. You should be able to offer these memberships at a discount price to these large companies if they can provide you a certain amount of customers.

You should be able to charge your members $10, or more, per month to belong to your fishing companion matching service.

Remember; always keep your service up-to-date with new information constantly. Maintain it on a regular basis and encourage your customers to keep in contact with you whether positive or negative, you want to keep in touch with them. Their feedback can be the best resource for making changes when needed. Be customer friendly and let them know that you appreciate their input.

Offer your members a blog that they can all use, this could be a great way for them to pass on helpful hints, or for those more experienced to help new ones that are just starting out in this fun sport.

Your site would also be able to bring you in more money by offering advertising of various products that your members would be interested in as anglers. This could be an excellent ‘business idea’ to give a try!
