Profit off Netflix’s new iconic show

GM. This is Work "After" Work, the newsletter that spills all the tea. All the business tea that is.

Here's how we're starting the week:

• 🎬 Love Is Blind Ideas

• 😂 Meme of the day

NETFLIX'S ICONIC SHOW

If you’ve ever been on Netflix, you know the show Love Is Blind.

It’s speed dating without ever seeing the other person's face. Two people talk with a wall separating them and agree to get engaged based on each other’s personalities.

Some fall out of love right when the other person is revealed because of well… their face. And some even walk at the altar after standing there like:

The show is great and people love it. Everyone knows it - the hard part’s already done, educating the audience. Now it’s time to build a million-dollar business on the back of this iconic show.

Similar to Suli, an entrepreneur that sold the Family Guy mobile app for north of $100M.

How did he do it?He raised money and bought the licensing rights to the brand for $10M. Funny thing is, when he agreed to this contract, his company only had $2M in the bank, but that’s a story for another day.

There’s two big plays I see with Love Is Blind:

#1 Love Is Blind Pod

Podcasting is already audio-only. Create a pod with 2 people seeking love, cut, edit, and put together entertaining shows each week for listeners.

Ask interesting questions and make it a game for the listeners on the other end. Maybe "Would you go on a real date with this person?" then do the big reveal.

Podcast ad spend hit $1B in 2021 and is projected to hit $4B by 2024 - massive growth. Pods have caught companies' eyes and they’re running at them with sacks of money.

#2 Love Is Blind tour

Many love the show and wish they could be in it. Give them this experience by creating a Love Is Blind Tour.

Go city to city, lining up paying candidates to experience the show firsthand. And maybe even watching bystanders - American Ninja Warrior style.

Many will pay to be a part of the experiment. Netflix, funny enough, has already thought of this but they’re using it as marketing to promote the season 4 reunion and only had 4 events.

Go to them, run them through the business plan, and show you're the person to license these rights to. Then go get the funding to do it.

And if you can’t get the branding rights, create a new name for it. Maybe “Fuzzy Love”, “Eyeless Love”, “Obscure Love”? I’m clearly not the best with names 😂

The biggest hurdle is getting the rights to use the brand’s name for either of these businesses, but it’s not impossible. Everyone has a price, if you’re able to come up with a solid business and prove to investors you can succeed, they might just fund you!
