Title: Is it a Good idea Or Bad idea?
Post by: am147 on May 13, 2016, 05:02:21 PM
Hello all,

Days ago i started working on new project which is a place where people can buy/sell digital stuffs such as steam gifts, csgo skins, projects, (no idea about other stuffs), etc...

The project will be like an automated secured middleman,

Im confused if people will be interested or not in something like that.

If yes or not, please suggest me something to make it better, or other things to add to be more attractable,

Or any other ideas which i can earn money from ::),

Thank you for reading.

I'm guessing you're doing this manually for people already? If not, you might want to learn the ins and outs before jumping in.

people are already have access to many platforms to buy/sell digital stuff like those you named (steam gift and CS:GO skins) and they are already trading all these stuff with other stuff (steam related) on different trading platforms like cslounge.
to make matters worse steam has a marketplace too where you can buy/sell stuff and now they are accepting bitcoin as payment too!

you mean like SEOclerks?
you can sell anything in there so long as its digital and people can buy thru bitcoin as an option. This site however are focused on seo products and services, some people in the site are selling bitcoin products too.

In the World of OpenBazzar and other decentralized peer to peer marketplaces,its probably not a good idea to start something like that for cryptocurrencies.You know,they're a step ahead of you.People can always buy/sell digital stuff with trusted dealers on many places on the net,like this forum's digital goods section for example.Think about it,if its worthy your investment.

No need to think a lot. Just go ahead and launch your project at first hand. See the feedback and improve it. It is very easy and the right way to move in the right path.

This is a very common idea but if done right and more efficient than other people, then you will prosper.

How do you plan to market it? You can have the best idea ever but it ain't going nowhere unless enough people know about it.

good idea, but there's already so much competition from established players, like NXT freemarket, which is up and running for a couple of years almost


you need a niche

You are working on something that already exists. I am wondering why you are going to work on such project. Probably it is better to search for a niche which is not taken by other projects yet. This increase the chance to have success.

It seems the overwhelming majority sees already another service providing it already.

So just think of another idea to work on? its better to focus where others havent been unless you know a significant amount of marketing etc.

Well, considering that bitcoin is directly accepted as payment method on Steam now. I feel like all Steam re-trading sites and services suddenly become somewhat obsolete.
But if you manage to create good p2p trading environment with bitcoin as primary payment method it could be next big thing. Something like alternative Steam Marketplace.
