Ask HN: Thinking about making a website to teach people Excel. Good idea?
I recently realized that a lot of people use Excel in their day job, yet most of them don't really know what they are doing. They could save hours of work per week if they knew how to filter data, use the VLOOKUP function, play with pivot tables, and so on.
I'm a web developper who knows a lot about Excel, and I'm actually good at writing tutorials. So I'm thinking about making a website with Excel tutorials, an email course, and a paid course (I have a lot of free time for the next 12 months).
It seems like a huge market, but it also looks like there are already a lot of websites doing that. Though most of the tutorials I saw are either out of date or not very clear. So I have 2 questions :
1. Do you think it's a good idea or not? 2. How would you get traffic for this website, besides SEO?
Thanks! :)
