The two of us had that sinking feeling in our early 20s that we’d missed our best opportunity to date because while everyone seemed to have thriving dating lives in high school and college, we were preoccupied by more “nerdy” endeavors. Having focused on career at an early age, we were relatively clueless about dating.
We spent years dissecting dating and learning the skills piece by piece, like it was an engineering problem. The skills and confidence eventually clicked for us. We discovered rules we could follow to help us navigate the messy world of modern dating. Looking back, we saw no reason why it had to be a grueling 10-year process. We started blogging about texting techniques and Lior coached dating professionally for in-person clients.
Having earned a reputation among our friends for being dating and texting gurus, it got to the point where tons of friends were asking us for advice every time we’d hang out. Liron wrote some custom chat software that organized all the shared texts and screenshots of various men talking to various women. Suddenly we were all hanging out in these chatrooms and analyzing one another’s texts. So we’ve seen signs that many people really need this kind of dating advice.

But after watching a few infomercials on TV, I've changed my mind.
Only an infomercial can make my 60 year old mom want to study the stock market. And she has no clue what the hard process of learning would be like. Hell, she probably doesn't even know what stock is!
The secret to infomercial's success in motivating people to incur great costs (time or money) is about emphasizing the rewards. 90% of the stock market infomercial is about the great wealth that can be accumulated by buying their service. They are able to switch on the reward circuits associated with a given task. This is the same feeling we get when dreaming of a juicy bacon cheeseburger. We can feel or even taste the rewards we can reap with every bite of that burger. This is why we can barely control ourselves from eating it.
Infomercials can make stock market research as alluring as a cheese burger.
Which brings me to my business idea - making infomercial-esque motivational videos (motivercials) for everyday tasks. Don't feel like studying? Don't feel like cleaning your room? Click to see a motivercial that will make studying or cleaning irresistible.
You can build a whole online community revolved around motivercials. People can submit their own and have free access to official ones. There can be message boards that discuss other self-help techniques. And premium members can have access to the full database of motivercials!
