eBay meets Patreon web app. The idea is that traditional celebrities auction off their time (caddying for Tiger Woods for golf charity, a traditional example), and that this new class of mini-celebrities--creators, streamers, and influencers--can do the same, mostly virtually. The site is built and a functional MVP.

I'm somewhat at a loss of what to do at the moment, as I've had no conversions but seemingly a reasonable level of interest. I've started to reach out to creators in the last 3 weeks, and here are some of the results/noteworthy comments I've gleaned.

1. GoogleAds are at an average CTR of 6%, but no conversions so far.
2. Several Patreon creators have said it's interesting. A few also talk about how Patreon lays down the hammer on creators who run auctions through the site. I have also observed creators who have run their own crude auctions in Patreon or Facebook posts.
3. Emails tracked by Hubspot get many views (5+) by certain targets, but no response.
4. One creator's agent voiced interest and said the agency itself would not take a fee, but I fear the creator himself would ask for quite a lot. I should continue this conversation, obviously, to see where it goes.

I'm highly considering attending Vidcon because many agent and creators themselves will be there, and discussing it with them is more pleasant to them than my spam, I assume. In the end, I think I have not budgeted as much for marketing as I should have, as I have only spent $200.
