The first concept (sanicms.com) failed with good reasons, but it brought in a new idea (Notisha.com) which I'm now selling before launch.
I'm selling because I've basically run out of cash to push it through the pilot phase and the conflict with my fiancee has gotten to unbearable levels, all because of what I've been working on.
I haven't quite given up on it (Notisha.com). If I had some cash I would still pursue it. Raising money at this stage would likely not be possible as there's no traction.
What would you have done if you were me?
Here's a link to the auction (https://flippa.com/7997879-notisha) and a small rant I had a while back (https://hackernoon.com/im-done-building-technology-solutions-for-church-cb6f60d77617#.ju8gujrg3)
Here's our demo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4IxzMP4pSI).
PROBLEM
1. Most believers have a very shallow understanding of what they believe in.
2. It's very hard to find high quality, structured and spiritually nourishing content that can be consumed in between our busy schedules on a daily basis.
SOLUTION
We are creating a platform where a believer will be able to select up to 5 topics to learn from every day from different spiritual leaders/teachers. The content is packaged in bite sized chunks as text or less than 5 minute video tips/tutorials. We are starting with the marriage and relationships topic.
HOW WE MAKE MONEY
The first 2 teachings of the day are free, the next 3 are available on subscription.
STAGE
We are currently in the prototyping phase but will be releasing a mobile app within the next 7 days. Here's the apk (http://bit.ly/1SR0kPJ) for the current build.
We'd love to hear from you on what you think about it.
