Socializing My Idea

When looking to talk to people about my idea I decided to talk to three of my friends. My project would be directed towards girls their age, which makes them relevant people to talk to, and as my friends I knew that they would be honest with me about what they thought of my idea.

Lily said that as a girl in college, she could see this site being useful for other girls her age and that she would probably check out this site herself.

"This is definitely the stuff that girls like," she said.

She was a little concerned about being able to make it popular though. With so many other sites out there that are similar in nature, she wonders how I can make mine stand out.

"It's a tough market because there are so many things like it," she said.

Colleen was also thinking about how I can make my site better than others that are out there. She says that college girls would like to read a broader range of articles, including gossipy things and celebrity news, as opposed to only personal wellness.

"You'd have a lot of competition," she said, "I can think of three sites I'd rather go to than yours."

She understands that I don't want to write about celebrities or gossip though and that I want to write about more positive and helpful things. She said that to do this, I'd have to present it in an entertaining and interactive way.

"You should make it very relatable. It should be about everyday thoughts that people have," she said.

She also had the idea of doing promotions and prizes that relate to my subject matter as a way of drawing people in.

Lily said that this is a site that she would be interested in and that she could see herself reading it. She said that it could become popular, as long as I stay unbiased in what I'm writing.

"I think you have to be careful how you market it because you don't want to seem like you're preaching to the choir," she said.

She thinks that I should cover a wide range of topics because there are many things that are important to young women. She says that I can talk about sex without it coming off as trashy. She said that I should be informative and just make it relatable.

"You could make it an empowering female-centric site because girls are into that," she said.
