Should build I platform to increase happiness?

[driechel]

Hi everyone,

already since I was 16 years old I have spent a lot of time in reading and studying psychology theories. I have always been interested in meditation and finding peace and happiness with myself. Now about 12 years later I decided to turn one of my dreams into reality and build an online platform for self-development to increase peoples happiness.

In short my idea is to build a website where you can train yourself on a regular basis (daily if you want to ). Based on your profile you can for example choose specific areas that you would like to improve.

Your opinion means a lot to me because if it turns out other people are not interested than it is no use to put my free time in this.

I would really like to interview some people that are already interested in this topic so that I can get a better insight in what other people want and think. Because I believe that personal contact is very important I would like to do the interviews via skype (or phone). The interview would work like this: I’d start by describing the main problems I am tackling, and then I’ll ask if any of those resonate with you.

If you are interested and would like to arrange a date for the interview please contact me at:

Thanks!

Hi driechel,

I think that's a wonderful idea and I congratulate you for taking the first step to achieving your dreams.

I think you won't have any problems with the self development niche. People are always interested in finding ways to make their lives happy or to reach happiness. Hence, try it out. Try starting a blog with your experiences first and how you were able to make yourself happy or improve in this and that. Then, when you get more readers, you can start with helping people out on a personal level. You could set up a twitter account to have people contact you and ask questions that you'll write about next.

Good luck!
