Question for someone that is smart about online business/web design | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 14000672  United States05/24/2020 07:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi, Not sure who to ask, so why not go to GLP, my favorite place on the internet. I have an idea to start a website, a sort of eBay-type thing. I'm not sure if the idea has been taken yet, or even if it's a good idea at all hehe... but it's been floating around in my head for a few years, and now with the corona bs I feel like it would be a good time to give it a shot and take the first step. How do I move ahead without knowing anything about making websites and without revealing too much about my idea to the wrong person? I have never thought about starting a business. Thanks!  |

(didn't Zuck do that with facebook?) Also, then you'd know how to work on and revise it, without having to hire others. Don't talk about it with anyone. Learn to code!

It's time to WIN. |

There is almost no way to start a small business these days. 4) This is probably not your business plan (I hope), but read this article as if it was business advice... it's actually great: [link to www.rollingstone.com (secure)] |

I'm at a beginner's level zero for anything computer-related but perhaps there are templates I can add on to to start. If it turns out that more effort will pay off, I will learn how to do it myself for sure. Thanks for the advice! |

I doubt that I would be passionate about maintaining the project after completion. My goal is really to create a prototype that sort of gets it started, and sell it to someone else I guess... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14000672 Well, just remember that the ONLY thing that matters in online business valuation is users. So... realize that in order to sell for any kind of profit... you need users. 25k active users is sell-able though. You don't need millions. |

I'll make it my homework. I don't think there will be any products sold or shipped with this thing but it will probably be something you pay for monthly to use. |

I see that is important, to present the thing when it can show it has already gained interest... now how to do that without revealing what is unique about it. |
