Hello! Welcome to our series on Jack’s Curated Business Ideas. My name is Olayinka Carew aka Jack Lookman. Today’s topic is Monetising Life Experience.
1. Preamble
Are you someone with few skills? Are you an older citizen? Do you require additional income? Do you wish to reduce the burden on your children? Could you be a Content Creator? Do you require a side hustle? Do you wish to add value to society? Do you wish to explore latent skills? Could you be sitting on a pot of gold?
Could you leverage Social media? Will you love to think outside the box? Could you become impactful? Could you make a difference? Is that degree of life accumulating dust? Could you monetize life experiences? Could you monetize your life experience? Is your life experience a waste? Is your life experience accumulating dust?
Are you sleeping on gold? Is that far away dream right there by your side? Is it awaiting execution? Could you collaborate? Could you make it happen? Could you make hay while the sun shines? Or will you wait until after then, when the opportunity leaves? Could there be learnings for others?
Could you share your story? Could your story be anonymous? Do you need to be learned? Do you need to be successful? Have you made any little life wins? Have you succeeded where others failed?
Could pitfalls be avoided? Successes, failures, pitfalls? Good, bad and ugly? Is it original? Is it valuable? Is it interesting? Has it got great potential? Do you wish to monetize?
If yes, this project may be of interest.
Will you love to find how?
If you’ve answered yes to any or more of these questions, please continue consuming this content.

2. Youtube viewers
If watching this video on Youtube, it has timestamps. You could zoom into the sub-topics of interest.
3. Introduction
I see different every day people; some with inspirational stories, stories which could inspire children and positively impact their lives. Stories which could impact their mindsets as well as expectations. Stories which could mould them into greater and better adults, but some of these stories are not told in the media or papers. They are not in text books and not taught in university. They are buried in sands of time, because the authors are not visible. Could this present an entrepreneurial opportunity? For the benefit of both parties? Could the story originator benefit as well as the content creator? Could society benefit as well as the world at large? Let’s explore possibilities with the hope of answering.
4. Will the narration be anonymous?
Some of the content may be sensitive; there’s however a need to share experiences to enable learning. Anonymity may be the way forward. Legalities shall be put in place to protect the identity of the narrator. That way, great content may be shared and the process may be richer.
5. Possible learnings from failure?
As negative as failure may seem, there are benefits, which may come forth; pitfalls to avoid, lessons from failure, and how the failure was overcome.

7. Could this project become a cash cow?

18. How could life experience be monetized?
For the purpose of this presentation, you could monetize life experience by creating content. This could be on various platforms in different formats in different languages and for different audiences. You could monetize via:
- Product sales
- Adverts
- Marketing
- Sponsors
- Etc
19. Who shall own the intellectual rights?
This could be negotiated with concerned parties. Agreements shall be articulated. It could be jointly or singularly owned. Legalities shall be put in place to avoid conflict. The process needs to be fair. The aim is for a win-win by all concerned parties
20. Is life experience taught in the classroom?
The simple answer is no. Or may be, little. Different life and other experiences are captured on different media, textbooks, films, videos, Social media, verbal letters, novels, comedies, documentaries, etc. But these may only be a drop in the ocean.

21. Is there really a degree on life experience?
To get a degree, you may need to go to university; but life experience is much beyond university. There’s no major script for it. May be more of guidance. For example, academics and professionals could fail at marriage. They could also fail at bringing up desirable children. Some academics may be bad cooks. Some may be unable to effectively manage money. Some may have poor domestic skills; relying on cleaners and cooks to keep the house. Some may only be academically inclined, but may not be street smart. Some crumble in the face of adversity and some are only good in their specialities. You therefore don’t get all life learning in university.
On the other hand, life teaches lots of lessons, which could be informal.
If these are found to be worthy, we could hypothetically give a degree of life learning.
This could however be difficult to quantify; or couldn’t it?
22. In what language should the content, be?
Consider: a single language; multiple languages; translations.
Though it’s your judgement call, it’s suggested to be in multiple languages.
This may however impact your finances and resources.
If the return on investment becomes much higher then it may prove a wise decision.

41. What exactly is the idea?
It's about curating beneficial content from interesting life experiences; especially from untapped sources, such as:
- The elderly
- The disadvantaged
- The deprived
- Professionals
- Common people
- Etc
It’s about curating content, commercializing it
Internet, technology and Social media shall be extensively leveraged.
42. What’s the inspiration for the idea?
I see some elderly people. Those of great knowledge and experience. Some wallow in poverty. Some have little income. Some are victims of lack of planning. Some are victims of corruption. Some beg directly or indirectly. Some just watch the days rolling by.
But they probably seat on gold, without them knowing.
They have a wealth of experience which could be turned to cash. Some have marital experiences. Some have work experiences
Couldn’t these experiences be curated by them, or via collaborators? Could they be stand-alone content or content merged with others? Could they be on different platforms and in different languages? Isn’t this the marriage of content creation, life experience, technology and entrepreneurism?
Is this a good inspiration?
Or will it cause depression?
What are your thoughts?
43. What are the threats to this idea?
Possible threats are:
- Conflict between stakeholders
- Intellectual theft
- Not carrying out due diligence
- Inadequate funding
- Lack of interest in the content

- Etc
44. Here is a suggested value chain:

It's a judgement call
