Show HN: Life Skills Website

14 pointsby DLarsenover 2 years ago
Over a year ago, I purchased a small online business selling life skills curriculum to homeschool and special education families. The main asset was the library of 400+ lessons, each including a short video and PDF. The revenue appeared to reflect meaningful demand for such a program. At the time I purchased the business, the delivery mechanisms were pretty fragmented and browsing the lessons was all behind the paywall. Today I&#x27;m releasing a whole new website that brings (I hope) a more modern experience. Principally you can now browse all of the life skills library. I&#x27;m also hoping that this approach lends itself to better SEO as well.<p>While this is pretty far from being able to sustain the family from an income perspective, it&#x27;s been really neat to connect with families who are taking the initiative to raise capable young adults.

This serves a great need and if I had a kid I would certainly consider using it. However, after browsing for a few minutes I don&#x27;t see any way to actually preview the content. It looks like there are some helpful videos but I would suggest making at least a few available to preview so prospective customers can evaluate the quality. You might also consider a homepage video that features the same people in the rest of the videos. That would be an opportunity to explain the site and build some trust.<p>Good luck on your venture!
