Sports Consultant

[nickbaker]

Like many I am an avid entrepreneur who is always looking for thier new start up idea. I think I have come up with that new start up idea.

I am interested in sports and am always up to date on events and even have written a few sports articles. (can be seen in the website in my signature)

So I thought what would be better than being able to talk with people about sports all day? Then I stumbled upon possible new careers and saw consultant listed on several possible lists.

So now that i have selected a possible new business I have a few questions.

1) Do I need to be a certified consultant?
2) Could I do this over the internet?
3) If I make a website I would need to have someone help market it to people on the internet, since I know nothing about SEO. So would anyone be willing to do so for cheep?
4) Not very savy with websites, but dont have the capital to spend on an expert, so what good sites will I be able to easily make a website?

I may have missed it, but what exactly would a Sports Consultant... do ?

[nickbaker]

I can give athletes or coaches advice on thier sport about tough decisions or about equipment. Pretty much any sports related question.

I am just thinking of questions people may ask you...

What makes you more qualified than an athlete or coach to make a "tough decision" or advice about equipment?

Why would people pay you for such a service when they can just ask one of their friends in the business?

You will really have to make yourself stand out, and like mentioned above. NETWORK.

Also, what sports level are you talking about? Like little kid sports, high school sports, etc?
