running a comedy club online?
Holy **** that’s ****ing brilliant. It’s pure ****ing genius.
I’v built enough websites where I have run into a few comedians or aspiring comedians. They all have the exact same ****ing problem; lack of access to people. Some of them are actually kinda funny. But I mean, if you live in Alabama and you want to be a comedian, you either have to get up and move to LA or give up the dream. Some guys try to build websites to promote their selves but being living hand to mouth , then dropping a few grand for a website and maintenance of the website..
Dude, seriously the more I think about this **** the more hyped I’m getting lol. this **** will work.
Anyway back to my point,.. what they end up trying to do is taking their **** like their videos or cd’s and selling them on the site, but the problem there is that when you do that, you have to pay for marketing and well they don’t’ have the money.
Your idea actually solves the a real ****ing problem, unlike most websites on the internet today. There is no question it will work. What YOU do is you don’t just create an online comedy club, you create a comedian marketplace so to speak
http://firethepublisher.com/
this is a site we built earlier this year, this is a site where writers can get online and create an account, upload their **** that they write, set a price for it and sell it online.
So your plan would be 2 fold. First, you have to target comedians to sign up with your site, you charge them a monthly fee, maybe 3 packages or something at 3 separate prices.. they automatically get setup with their own home page which will allow them to upload videos, audio files of their clips and sell them through the site or just listen to or download samples. You are creating a market place for the comedians to all be gathered on one site and it works for everyone because if they come and they are looking for one guy they can look at other **** while they are there so it’s free marketing.
What you can do and this is where the online comedy store part comes in is say, on the home page of the site, every day or maybe every other day, you upload a video that will play of a featured comedian. Free of charge don’t even have to login to view it, but it will draw people to the site.
The money, isn’t in the video on the home page. The money is coming from the **** that the people will sale to their other visitors once they browse through the site when they get there.
Also the fire the publisher site is setup to where the site gets a commission from each sale, I think 5% and you can change it in the admin panel as well, so say you get 10% of all cd sales, etc
Or ****, even better if you wanted to you could.. **** dude this is ****ing brilliant. You could make it part of one of the packages that the people who sign up on the site as comedians are allowed 1, 2 or 3 videos of their choosing to play a week on the home page of the site.

this is a site we just built (lol the picture on the home page with sara jean underwood playing in the sex hanging thing is my account). Login using
[email protected] and password 11. Click on the best in the world profile, this is generally how the comedians home page will be setup except the difference will be that the comedians can set prices for the items and sell them online.
You would have to run 2 separate marketing campaigns, one to attract comedians, which honestly shouldn’t’ be that hard to do they are looking for ways to get out there, and one to bring in visitors, which is tricer but can be done.
also on the user's profile store page there will be an event calender that will allow them to post their live shows and let people sign up for newsletters to get buzzed when something is coming up.
or taking it even further, because you have a bunch of comedians on the site you can install a search engine / feature that allows for a person to type in the type of comedy they like and then that list will come up determined by the profile of the comedian
Mind you this is literally all off the top of my head in 10 minutes, so I haven’t done any real market research but I do this for a living and I have a general idea of **** that is out there and I can’t think of anything like this exactly. There are afew technical aspects we'd have to work out but nothing i can't do
Seriously dude, pm me about this **** I want to talk to you more.
