Totally feasible, but it'd probably have to talk dirty too.

Patti would talk dirty to me. And so would Lorna. And they're hot. That, and the fact that I know and love these people, might be the reason I was over-optimistic about the price point.

For a thought experiment, think what you could do at much higher price point (e.g. 100$ a day), and who might pay for that. Then scale down from there.

I was actually thinking about this.

Basically, do a thing like this for egotistical investors and bankers--how many do you think would pay large amounts of money just to enjoy having somebody read them the closing bell and after-market action on their stocks?

Shit, you could put together a basic portfolio tracker and script generator, and then just farm it out to spare VA talent.

Anybody interested in doing this?

See, that's entirely too sad for me.

( SaaS => sadness as a service )
