Corpania Ideas

CAVEAT! I'm an amateur philosopher and idea-generator. I am NOT an investment professional. Don't take any of my advice before consulting with an attorney and also a duly licensed authority on finance. Seriously, this my personal blog of random ideas only for entertainment purposes. Don't be an idiot.

Vixercise.com (webcam workout website idea)

Vixercise.com (webcam workout website idea)
Though I can't possibly be the first to come up with the basic idea for "webcam workouts" it might be possible that I'm the first to come up with this specific, creative execution.

I originated it about 4 years ago (Damon and some coworkers at Bodog can attest) but only recently have I registered some domains. That was because I would soon be pitching the idea to execs in a division of IAC.

Domains I Already Own for this Venture:
VIDEOCISE.COM                  VIXERCISE.COM
VIRTUACISE.COM                VIXERCIZE.COM
VIRTUASHAPE.COM            VIXERSIZE.COM
VIDSHAPE.COM                   VIXERSISE.COM
VIDERSHAPE.COM              VIDIFIT.COM

Elevator Pitch:
Getting to & from the gym takes longer than
the workout itself. Using common webcams
our customers take video workouts to the
next level with personalized coaching and
encouragement from centralized instructors.
Envision it for the iPad2 with its built-in
webcamera and linked to a big screen tv.

"4 Vid" format shows realtime Video Streams:
1) instructor (like successful "P90x" dvds)
2) You (for later review/ improvement)
3) Coach (giving you face-to-face inspiration)
4) Featured Classmate (for recognition/fame)

Business Model:
Users buy credits to pay for classes (these
expire after 30 days). Credits used earn
"InvitePoints" (like credit card miles)
to give to friends (and thus recruit customers).

Twist: If you don't use at least 5 credits per
month there is a $20 penalty. We want you to
actually use the classes & get fit!

Technical Considerations:
1) Use Video Skype or iChat or Build on VIMEO
2) Team with Cable Companies to encourage
highspeed access
3) Elite may use multiple webcams in multi-angles
simultaneously for best feedback from coach.
4) Set up Headquarters / Central Studio for
instructors/Video Coaches (like QVC/Home Shopping)

Business Benefits/Ancillary Revenue
1) Sell Vixercise Gear & Equipment
2) Partnerships with Independent Clubs Nationwide
3) Sell Drink Mixes & Supplements
4) Talent Deals with Best Personalities
for Launching TV Series

Look at the JPEG image (mock-up/wireframe for the website) and let me know your thoughts, if you please.

Thanks and good karma to you.

Regards,
Dan
