Prathima's Miles & Milestones

There’s a rise of solopreneurs especially in 2020 as people have put their commute time into a better use by exploring their interests, unleashing their creativity, and by providing the community with a value-added service of their own — the Atma-Nirbhar way!

LinkedIn has been a platform for Solopreneurs wrt Content creation, various aspects of Digital Marketing and so on. Whereas video-calling platforms like Zoom, Airmeet, Jiomeet & many players has always been the destination for many — from various IT streams, fitness instructors, leading to a virtual stage for artists yet not customisable feature unlike you own website or a blog or a YT channel.

There’s still something that needs to fill the void in this space. We need a platform where the Mentor or a Coach who has his/her offering joins the platform to conduct online video session for his one or more offerings. The clients can avail the offering by logging into for both free and paid classes by making a payment in the platform. How convenient & easy is it?

The service offered by the Mentor can be edited any time. For eg: The title, description, duration, the availability, timings, the fee, seat left & so on. It is a given that platform charges a small percentage of the fee on top of your price.

Must-have for MVP:

• Sign up | Differentiate between the Login for Coach/ Service provider and the client.
• Category of the service | Lists all categories supported on the platform. Also, indicates the category which has active classes/services offered to avail.
• View Services | List of all active events and the link to corresponding mentor’s profile.
• Coach Profile | Displays details like Coach’s display picture, Experience, Certifications, Customers reviews, Rating, Schedule for the week/month, 1-on-1 consultation and so on.
• Service Description |Crisp & clear content with a character limit along with details like duration, fee, date & time so on.
• Add a Service | Option to perform CRUD operation & also duplicate a service with future date yet inactive mode to be supported.
• Service Status | Reveals the seats filled, remaining, time left before the admissions close.
• Multiple Services by a Mentor | If a Coach provides services like SEO, Content writing & Sales (more than one domain) — there needs to be a clear separation visually.
• Online Chat, Community & its guidelines will be an add-on.
• Notations | Seats left, Fast filling, & the notations to be used for every service, as a service provider I want to know how many have enrolled so far & how many seats left at any point of time. Eg: BookMyShow.
• Payments to be integrated on both ends — Clients, Mentor.
• Cancellation policy, Refund policy, Terms & Conditions, Help menu, Content copyrights etc needs to be looked in.
• Referral benefits, social media share, social media campaigns, advertisements so on are some of the necessary customer acquisition tools for the platform.
