I just thought of this.
Sell, for $1 or $3 or whatever, 1 html page that anyone can buy to upload a more detailed biography such as an enhanced version of our profiles, but with a photo and a small video clip.
This way people can direct each other to these pages and say "look" I look like this, I move like this, my bio says this.
It could
a. Make everyone more personable/relatable
b. Play to egos of people who want to put up a clip of how great they are
c. Serve as an ad for a system/style/school
d. Be a really cool gallery/reference/Who's Who on Martial Talk particularly if the video clips are mostly of favorite techniques
e. Generate more money if you charge $1 or whatever to allow the uploading/changing of an additional video clip or clips
f. Turn into a Contest/online tournament (done before I know) if you have us all submit 1 clip of a technique. Then we can vote on that clip and it can be featured on the Hall of Fame Homepage or something. Like a Clip of the Month. Maybe someone would turn in a clip so cool that it would win several months in a row.
But clips must be kept small and short to make this work.
I can help you think of ways to do this for $5 instead if that is the credit card/ecommerce minimum threshold.
%think%
P.S. You could charge $12/yr for this "page" and allow quarterly updates of the clips or something. Maybe you could also sell 3 video updates for $5. Just more ideas. Never say die!
