I’ve been playing chess more seriously for the past few years.
More specifically, two years ago I joined the (then brand-new) chess club within my university. This undoubtedly skyrocketed not only my skill in chess but also my appreciation for the game and the whole chess community—even though the average chess player is 61 years old, there are still a lot of young and enthusiastic chess players eager to socialize with others in their early 20s.
Anyway.
During this time I’ve had the opportunity to meet and befriend many exceptionally talented people. One of the people I met through this chess club (and later on became extremely close friends with) became the National Champion of Belgium earlier this year.
This is an incredible achievement on its own and I’m extremely proud of him.
But it doesn’t stop there—especially not with me.
Oh no, this is also an incredible opportunity for him (and for me as well). See I happen to enjoy marketing, advertising, and the creating & selling of (digital) courses—as you should probably know by now if you’ve been reading my emails for at least a week.
If you’re an attentive reader you might’ve already guessed where this is going, but in case you haven’t yet. There’s an incredible (and lucrative) opportunity to use his newfound status to launch and sell a new chess course with him as the leading personality behind it.
Even more.
I just had a look at Meta’s ad library today and it turns out there’s only ONE (1!) chess-related ad currently running on all of Facebook, Instagram, and wherever Meta ads are shown. And it’s an ad for in-person private lessons aimed at children.
More than enough reasons to conclude there’s a huge untapped market waiting for someone to do something with it.
The funny thing here is that there’s nothing new about the game of chess—quite the contrary, in fact.
And yet a quick search shows me just how easily it could be to enter this market and build ourselves a nice little business (which I’m no doubt underhyping).
But what does this have to do with you, you might ask?
Well, this just goes to show you how easy it is to take things for granted and dismiss any potential opportunities that might be staring you right in the face at all times. I know people who only recently got into the market of selling guitar courses and are now making a killing with it (a guitar ain’t nothing new either).
So make sure to keep your eyes open, don’t dismiss opportunities just because you don’t think there’s anything worthwhile.
Make sure to do a tiny bit of research and who knows, you might find yourself a new lucrative business idea.
And while we’re on the topic of lucrative business ideas, have you tried building a list and writing it daily emails that get sales and keep your readers reading day after day?
