This is a simple gig but I need an experienced business plan writer who is fluent in English.
my budget is around NZ$80-120
business details follow:
My Business is Mike's Workshop (Robot Thinking is my solo work, The Band is my local - currently amateur, studio. Zone Five is my future solo NZ-based entertainment dev R&D business - focusing on comics, a zine and toys.)
My strategy currently involves the following:
achieve 1k followers per market with 30% conversion rate x 6 markets (identified as 4 facebook groups, puttytribe and masterclass) = 1,800 customers, sales: $100 each = $180k per product, in order to sell a product for $100 it needs to be a collector’s edition version with a poster, collectable, postcard, DVD + download, and BTS features + audio commentary (autographed) collectable and dvd will be the biggest expense for COGS (try to keep it low as I want to keep most of the $180k-tax as personal profit and capital to scale the business)
1. feature movie on video - simple drama, no fx, few characters, dialogue heavy, few locations, no sets ($800 budget)

My competitors (outfits like: Weta, Serendipity Point Films, Will Wright, Modiphius, Fangoria, Troma, Z.O.E, The Onyx Path, Media Molecule, 22 Cans, Hello Games, Joylabz, Wizards of the Coast, Slave Labor, Image Comics, Cinefex, Exosyphen, Foddy, Three Rings Design, Team Multiverse, Hertzfeldt, Brendon Small, Eric Chahi, Arnt Jensen and Mike Bithell) create high quality content at a level that I aspire to reach, but I am targeting a very specific niche audience.
I am targeting the hermits, the hipsters, the lone wolves, the rebels, the degenerates and wannabes, the anarchists, intellectual, introverted, indie, arthouse, experimenters. The crowd that love epic worlds carefully constructed for speculative fiction, the ability to both immerse oneself and to create with true agency, independent game development, outsider art, absurdist movies and books, weird cartoons, and minimalist, post-modern, process-focused digital products, games and stories.
My content is intelligent, but fun. i.e. cerebral, unique and silly - versus: derivative, obtusely academic or pompous.
There is substance in my work and depth, but yes it is clever, oversmart and inward digging and also post-modern, minimalist, artful while still exploring the magical or the scientific and grounded in deep thought, self-referential in style and intensely constructed. Complex, yet effective. Quirky, with often a ridiculously morbid sense of humour.
