College girl calendar idea. What do you think?

[leggomygreggo]

I live in virginia and i kind of had an idea of going around to the colleges in my areas and taking pictures of the girls and making calendars with them and then distributing the calendars to the students that attend that college.
I think this would probably work because guys like hot girls and its never hard to find hot girls on a campus.

My initial plan was to sell them directly to the students but i thought that that might not be the best way to approach that. I was thinking of selling advertising to companies like beer companies and other companies that target college students and then just hand them out to students.

I know this is a very basic idea but it came to me and i was wondering if i could get some input on this. Thank you very much.

Been there, done that... to a T.
Feel free to contact me. Or better yet, search the forum, because I have posted some indepth information on this in the past.

It sounds like a good idea, but if the college is considered a dry campus you make not be able to sell your product there with alcholic advertisments on them.

I think it's a great idea - go for it. One thing I've learned is that you don't have to always do something new. You just have to do it better than the other people that are doing it or have done it.

You don't even have to do it better, you can just sell it to different people. No product is universally liked by everyone so you can always try to give people another option.

A guy made a magazine - sells it for free - and makes a big profit

Well, seems like a pretty good idea. Good luck!

Hi Leggo,

I'm the same guy known as FUNK. I didn't do this but I was just thinking about doing it this last week.

Get in touch with me man - you got MSN or AIM?

[krupt]

My only problem is, I really don't understand or get how much to ask for for advertising on the calender?

[ProjecTAudi]

Great idea, you can probably make some good side cash with this. Keep us posted

comment removed. I need to use common sense when asking questions.

Usually people have to sign some sort of agreement if they want to be included in pictures, news story or what not. Randomly going around the campus taking pictures of girls seems like "stalking" or "weirdo" .

Without sounding rude or anything, use your common sense dude - no one with an idea like this, or just no one is really going to go round taking pictures of women behind bushes or something. He is doing a calender...he isn't just doing random photography. He is going to want the girls posing etc so to answer for him because it is such a stupid remark...No he is not going to go around "stalking" chicks and taking their pics behind bushes or something. Dude ask better questions and use your common sense.

I really think this could be a profitable business if planned very well and done right. The only thing is i really have no idea where to even start planning. Should i first figure out who I'm gonna get in touch with to do the photo shoots, or line up advertisers first so i have money? What would be the first thing i need to do in order to make this idea really work?

Have you read my information? I pretty much gave a step by step guide to making the business successful.
