Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I had trouble searching for exact threads on the topic.
To those of you who have done well in the Internet / mobile space, what do you think of the ad-based revenue model? Facebook and larger sites were built on this, but it generally means being in the red at first, or going the investor route.
The reason I ask is because I have a few fairly solid ideas that could be very "BIG" industry-shifting concepts, but from looking around it seems a lot of those such types of sites/apps aren't making any money but may eventually get bought by a bigger company or go for an IPO etc. My top idea is similar to a mix between Yelp / Amazon.
I've sort of set aside my random projects and side work aside to focus on 1 at a time and I'm trying to decide which 1 project to attempt first. I'm wondering whether I should start with small projects that simply generate some passive income (like ebooks that I know will make money for a fact), or focus all my energy into the one big idea that I think could have the most impact but has a fuzzier picture of actual revenue/profit.
Thanks for any opinions, experience, and/or advice/tips.
