Why it might be a killer
Lynda.com offers a very useful service for everyone, seen as technology these days is evolving at an incredible pace and people are currently left behind on how to use half of the new software. This service is targeted to a huge potential audience because, as mentioned before, people really need this kind of service and they can take full advantage of it for a very low price. Lynda.com forms part of what it is a fast growing market and this could mean tons of cash for them. This website is very well organized, since every feature is placed within categories such as Subject, Product, Vendor or Author.
Some questions
Will people actually pay for this service? Will people choose this method of learning rather than the traditional way? Can people trust the online educational material? Will people pay for subscription and then again purchase the DVD or CD they are looking for? Doesn’t this end up being much more expensive than an offline method? Will people take the time of subscribing for this service? What ensures people that the material provided actually works?
