Launch Live Horse Race Training Platform

 

For ages, live horse racing has been one of the most illustrious sports throughout the world. In the beginning, it was done for fun and to pass the time, but with time, it has now evolved into a professional sport that has been a part of the Summer Olympics since 1900.

As the interest is peaking, more and more people are coming forward to learn this sport. But, horse racing training academies are only available in some parts of the world. That is why online horse race training platforms are now in demand! 

If you are looking to start your own horse race training website then this blog is for you! We are going to discuss why you should start an online horse race training business, what its benefits are, and how you can build a training website effortlessly! So, let’s begin!

 

Future of Live Horse Racing As A Sport – How Is It Gonna Change in the Future?      

Before we get into the horse racing training business, it is always important to know how the sport started, what its current state is, and how it is going to change in the future. 

The history of horse racing dates back hundreds of years. Though it has been practiced as a traditional and cultural event in many countries for long, it got a formal outlook and professional touch in England in the 1700s. And from there on, it has evolved at a rapid pace! 

In recent years, multiple initiatives have been taken to attract youngsters to sports. And with the inclusion of the latest technologies in sports, this number is expected to increase even further. In the past few years, horse racing has already seen havoc changes. The use of correct data and appropriate technologies has led to a better assessment of horses’ performance, health records, condition of racing tracks, and more! 

Multiple advanced technologies are now being included in this sport regularly, which are set to provide overwhelming results in the future. Some of them are 

  • Tracking Software: In many places, a small tracking chip is fitted into the horse’s body, which tracks all of its health and performance data throughout the race. It helps us get accurate data on horses’ top, average, and lowest speeds when they attain those speeds, their strengths and weaknesses, their biometrics, and everything else!
  • Grounding: Multiple advanced tools are now used to evaluate the racing ground nowadays. These tools can attain extreme accuracy in measuring the length of the racecourse and the quality of the turf.

In this regard, online horse race training can be a big step. Gen Z has not learned to stay within boundaries. They believe in pushing the limits. And with time, they have learned to push the geographical limits too! Today, a person living in any part of the world can learn anything, from anywhere. And this ideology is going to change the future of horse racing forever.

Future of Online Horse Racing Academy             

Proper training is extremely important for horse racing. As horse racing is an injury-prone sport, a lack of proper training can be life-threatening at times. But horse racing academies are not available in many parts of the world. That is why online horse race training courses are now becoming popular. 

These online horse race training academies allow the learners to learn the proper techniques and skills needed for horse racing from the best mentors across the world, through live interactive sessions and training sessions. 

In most cases, the tutor shows how to race a horse live, and then asks the learners to do the same, while they observe their performance through the same app. 

Hence, the training remains as effective as on-site training, without the need for students to travel long distances. 

In the past few years, some online horse racing training websites have already made their marks, and more are expected to shine in the near future. 

 

Prerequisites For Starting Live Horse Race Training Platform

So, if you are planning to start your own horse race training platform, then hold on! It requires proper planning to succeed! 

You first need to decide on your target audience, the right tools and technologies you should use for maximum outreach, and decide the business model and revenue-earning pathway. 

Following the steps given below would help you out in this process. 

 

Choose Your Target Audience

To begin with, decide which category of learners you want to cater to. 

Basically, horse racing learners can be of many types, like

  • Beginners who are just getting started.
  • Casual intermediates who want to improve their skills just to enjoy the sport more. 
  • Serious intermediate learners, who see a career in this sport in the future. 
  • Expert professionals, preparing for international competitions. 

Depending on your target audience, the tools used, the type of website and training content, and the level of interaction would also change. 

For example, if you are training beginners, you will have to focus on displaying the sport correctly. There would rarely be any occasion when they would ask you to check their techniques. On the other hand, if you are training professionals, then you would have to spend a lot of time on one-on-one communication and vetting their techniques. So, you would have to plan accordingly.

 

Choose the right tools and technologies

Though there are many tools available, not every tool and technology offers you all the features that you would want. So, you should choose them very carefully.  

If you are looking for a completely no-code solution for developing your own horse race training website that would let you hold endless live sessions with live chat conveniently, then the combination of Muvi One and Muvi Live would be perfect for you.

Decide the monetization models and membership plans

So, how do you decide which monetization model would work best for you? If you have understood your target audience well, you can easily decide which monetization model would actually work best for you. 

For example:

  • If you are catering to beginners, then you might think of a hybrid revenue model, where you can earn through multiple models like subscriptions, inserting ads in between your live sessions, coupons, and vouchers. It is usually because the beginners search for low-budget plans and lower subscription rates can act as catalysts in attracting the beginners. 
  • But if you are catering to the professionals, you will have to focus on delivering content and service quality. In that case, you can charge a higher subscription plan too, in case you are offering premium content with one-on-one mentorship. 

So, first, analyze the needs and capabilities of your target audience, and then plan a revenue model that would best suit your business. 

 

Setup Analytics 

The success of your business usually depends on the quality and quantity of business data. And Muvi One analytics help you get all the data regarding your learners, the videos they view, the geographies they are located in, the revenue they generate, and more! 

This powerful analytics data helps you analyze what’s working in favor of your business, and what’s going against it. You can then modify your business strategies accordingly. 

 

Plan your marketing strategies 

A good marketing strategy is extremely essential for scaling your business. Platforms like Muvi One help you curate an effective marketing strategy, and provide you with additional features to ensure smooth marketing campaigns. Using our email marketing feature, you can send emails to your learners, promote your new coupons, discounts, and offers, or simply communicate regarding the ongoing course.
