This is a very detailed & perfectly crafted outline on the things a facility manager needs at the fingertips. This isnt' spam. Im just new to Hive.
Because I've done facilities management work before, but are no where near the expertise that you are, a couple things came to mind:
If I was actively in this role in downtown Honolulu, LA or New York.. I'd be looking for this information as a paid-for PDF & would pay $49.97 easy to have this at my fingertips.
Because i'm a bit of an Online Course advocate, web-designer & an Evernote Geek, I'd attach an "How to Manage Multi-Million Dollar Facilities Using One Tool & Never Dropping the Ball Again" Online Course :: film it : face-to-camera, then screenshare in Evernote. Now, for that I'd pay: $297.00.
And if you'd like to do something like this, I could easily help: Create the modules, help outline the class, edit the videos, upload to your Online Platform of choice, and let it start attracting your audience, not to mention ranking in Google for years to come.
I'd be happy to chat,

You're not too far off base. IFMA (International Facility Manager Association), ProFM, and BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) have professional certification courses that cost in the thousands. I'm working through some of those. What's lacking is probably something more entry level for real estate investors or home owners.
Those acronyms do sound a tad intimidating. My friend Pat Flynn was an architect & he created a course on how to study and pass a certain exam. That was 10 years ago. He's still earning income on that course.
Maybe i see a simplicity & "to-the-point" type of style you have that easy to grasp. What if you prepare those who must (must) spend thousands of dollars? If they try & fail, (in their mind, they're up a creek without a paddle), and might detour them away. But if they spend $197 with you first, they'll be sweating less for the big test.
That sounds like an idea. Although, I haven't passed the courses yet. I think it's something to work up to. I do remember Pat Flynn's story.
I think, at the moment, I don't know what I know. That was the whole point of creating an account, to write down some knowledge to build up an overview of what I have learned on the job. Let's revisit in a few weeks.
That's cool you know Pat's Story. If you mean a Hive account, i totally understand. We revisit any ideas you have in a few weeks.
But hope my comments encouraged you to realize you have a lot to offer the world.
