Something i have to do for school

Basically what it is, is an individual business i have to create on a realistic basis (something a 16 year old is capable of doing) and I need some people to fill out a survey I forged to see if there's a possibility for this business of mine to make a profit. The business is me taking stats for a highschool's basketball team and posting them on a website; in other words a scorekeeper. I attend every season game along with the tournaments the school participates in. To conclude, this survey is simply to see if there's a market for this business. I dont want to pen more about this than i have to because i don't want to make this thread unattractive and boring. So if you have the time please answer yes or no to the following questions. Answer the questions and reply as a post in the following format:

1. yes or no (not both)
2. yes or no (not both)
3. yes or no (ex: 20$ a game, 100$ for website launching)
4. yes or no (not both)
5. yes or no (not both)

1. Do you find individual stats and team stats essential for coaches and players of a basketball team to know?

2. Do you think coaches would appreciate having someone knowing of the sport to take in account all the statistics of their basketball team?

3. Would you pay someone to take all the stats of players and the team and then posting them on a promotional website? If yes, how much would you pay this person per game and the launching of the team's website?

4. Do you think a website showing all players' individual stats as well as the teams season games, tournament schedules and scores a good idea?

5. Would you consider a score keeper as a job with a lucrative goal? (make profits)

Wow, you're profiting off of people's goodwill? Absolutely disgusting, the thread shouldn't only be locked but also deleted so TopHats cannot use his devious ways to make money from unsuspecting Afterwind players.

There's no real money involved, it's a school thing. I'm pretty sure it's strictly hypothetical.

YOBA, this is simply to see if there's a market for this kind of business. And obviously I'm not making money from AW players it's for a school that hires me. And the Father is 100% right.

"There's no real money involved, it's a school thing. I'm pretty sure it's strictly hypothetical."

exactly that.

And Btw

1. yes
2. yes
4. yes
5. yes

Now for 3 it is a little more complicated. To get a website up and running there is some cost involved. Depending on you knowledge of coding you might need to hire a web designer. Depending on the amount of pages on your site it could be anywhere from $100 to a couple thousand dollars depending on how big the site will be

Another factor is ad space. With any website you have the option of selling some ad space to make more money. In fact this is how a lot of internet businesses make a good portion of their money. I'd say you'd have to offer the team a lower cost for the site if they allow you to profit from selling ad space or a higher price if they don't.

So I'd say that you would have to present the options to the team (How many pages, how many games stay posted at a time, ad space, ect...) and then based on their selections you'd have a wide array of prices you can offer them.

After the initial large sum of money for the set up of the site you could charge them a smaller monthly fee to keep the site up and running and also to keep track of the games of course.
