Assess the Competition
Prior to launching an editors and editorial service in your town, it's a good idea to determine how you will fit in the competitive landscape. We've provided the link below to help you find competitors nearby. Simply enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of editors and editorial services in your town.
How tough is the competition in the market you are considering? If the competition is too tough, you may need to think about starting the business in a different area or even start a completely different business instead.
Studying the Market
Once you've finished assessing the competion, it's essential that you learn from folks who are already in business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
Fortunately, somebody who runs an editors and editorial service in a different city can be a great learning resource for you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
