Can't help thinking that @dragonjones and @jessops are missing a trick: Every kid want's to be a CREATOR on YouTube, IG, TikTok etc. There's nothing - NOTHING - on the Jessops website targeted for them. Make a specific page for cameras, mics, ring lights, greenscreen, mix desks.

Woke up to find ProblemFinder has its first registered user. "If you build it, they will come." 🫢 It should probably be, "If you promote it on social media, they might try it for free," but that's a more complex. But it's a start!
