I coulda been a concierge

I was watching that goofy TV show over the weekend, "Dirty Jobs", the one where it shows a guy taking on jobs others make a living at, but have a big "yuck" factor (like cleaning emu crap or fixing septic tanks).

You gotta respect someone who does that for a job, really.

Anyway, I was watching because I was simultaneously hand sewing a fitted seam in a new pair of pants. I got to thinking that a lot of people would find what I was doing boring, but I really don't mind it. It can be relaxing, and it's nice to do a job right.

Anyway, I started thinking about all the things around where I live that people, especially young professionals, would be willing to pay good money for someone else to take the drudgery away from them. I googled around and saw the concierge services look like a hot item right now. I'm thinking…I'd be good at that, running errands, making things "happen", and started musing about a business plan.

Not right now, but maybe in a year and a half or so….for various reasons I won't go into here..
Right now I'm going to remain employed full time, and this isn't the type of thing you could do after hours (especially if you want a good home life yourself)

Then….I started thinking how many people have told me how good I am with money, like how to make the most of it, rebating/couponing, juggling money to keep out of debt without paying interest, etc, etc. I've shared things with a lot of intelligent people who said, "I never knew about that! How did you figure that out?"

Anyway, I know I could teach anyone how to do this. I'd have no problem coming up with a program, giving someone the information and an actual hands on kit to use to organize themselves, and significantly cut down on their daily expenses.

I wouldn't want a site of my own, I don't that the time to maintain one and market myself to other sites to put links to me on it……Just something simple where people could see my ad and purchase my program, and have me mail it to them.

I looked at craigslist to see if that would be a good place to post, but that didn't seem promising.

I like the idea of a bulletin board type site, like craigslist though. If enough people see it, I'll get a response. I'm not looking to make a lot of money, but this experience may come in handy down the line.

Does anyone know of sites, on line bulletin boards, that would be more appropriate for an idea like this?
