Anyone here looking to start a UX design coaching academy …

Op what’s the end goal here ?

Don’t do it ! Take your 200k and go to a beach and have a few drinks …

Creating a business is a lot harder than creating software I would not give more than 10% .

OP, I provide vetting service - I built a platform that evaluates and then provides you with a rating on each skill . Happy to demo you the platform if you are interested.

I have built a custom LMS , happy to demo you guys - it has some nifty features like async coaching, chat gpt integration, Q&A with chat gpt etc. would love to see if that would make sense for you .

I run a coaching business and it is useful for hybrid expereince.

If you are ready to work on contingent basis then why don’t you start your own business. I run a platform that could help you build your own business. DM me if you want to know more.

I have a platform where we are looking for talent , we evaluate you first and then line up clients for you. Let me know if this is something you are interested in DM me for more info

I don’t see why people would struggle with this ? It is so easy ,

I started a new upwork like website , with the key differentiator that you get vetted developers only - we have a very transparent interview process where you can see scores , what they did etc . Currently the program is still invite only - so DM me if you are interested in hiring freelancers or consultants

The challenge I see with just using service based companies is that they are like robots - you need to tell them what to do ? OP can tell them about the product is but they don’t operate at that level and their interest are different as well . You need to break it down and then take decisions that are beneficial for you not for them. Besides there is no one to keep quality check .

Why don’t you invest some money ?

I learnt a few things - pick things that make you think that this is hard and border line Possible .Typically most people will stay away from it and less competition

Rule number 1 pay - what kind of dude are you not paying for work people have done . Respect the time they have put in - the problem is you not them .

Rule 2 - people are going to over charge just live with that - and don’t bother about paying 30% more

Honestly man keep the money , take your family on a nice vacation abs chill … if you don’t have time to code you probably don’t have time to market it :-)

Can you share your linkeidn ?
