We chatted and I concluded no amount of marketing would work because they had a product p[roblem. I think you want to involve your target market from the project design phase, now. If it's not something they want and will warm to, it will be hard to make it a success. Focus group the heck out of your concept now so it will be well-received, or find a way to force participation by marketing to schools who will require the training. Hope this helps!

This is to give people the incentive to use our service over hiring a full time professional. The website will also make money through advertisements from different material vendors, so that will offset the cost of our free consultations & low design service fees Wed, 21 May 2008 11:11:53 -0600 advice http://ideablob.com/ideas/rss/2308-Inspire-Youth-to-Create-their-L#advice2053 http://ideablob.com/ideas/rss/2308-Inspire-Youth-to-Create-their-L#advice2053 A 2 day program for High School Youth to become aware of the life they are currently creating for themselves and then for them to make decisions if there are changes to be made through 2 months of coaching.

What if the kids need further support beyond the two months? Is there a plan for follow-up on the impact? How will this program impact the greater community where it will be? I like this proposal - it's a great idea.

Some kids are forced to grow up faster than others depending on their home life, so they would benefit from your program. I am sending this idea to a lot of people who would agree that it is great and needed.
