    How Do You Think About Your Ecommerce Strategy?

    HOT! 
    I'd choose a market/audience first and then decide how to market to them. After some thinking I came up with diabetics, they have to be very careful about taking care of their feet, and most sandals typically expose the toes and heel, areas that are most likely to get bruised/stubbed and cause...

    Do/Did You Surround Yourself With Action Takers?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I think the mastermind effect is really about the "mind" more than anything else. If you're a loner like myself in entrepreneurial pursuits whether by choice or circumstance, you can "surround yourself" with inspiring people by consistently reading what they write and using it to push you...

    Email Marketing Service / Helping to send e-mail

    MARKETING 
    What is your USP? As you mentioned there are many other email marketing services. Free autoresponders are not new. Benchmark does that with their free plan. What makes you different from the other services out there should be your headline, and your feature list should essentially touch on pain...

    Landing Page Services

    EXECUTION 
    I've used unbounce and leadpages and even launchrock. As someone that has some design skill, it can still be very frustrating to customize them, so I can't even imagine someone who doesn't know a thing about html and/or graphics. Nine times out of ten the pre-made templates won't be exactly what...

    Two Choices, Any Advice?

    MINDSET 
    The upfront time for a book is generally more but then its kind of a "set it and forget it" once you establish the initial marketing push to get the word out there compared to a website. When you say "a website" is it an application hosted on the web or a content based site? The approach, amount...

    So Simple... It's Beautiful

    HOT! 
    Sounds like a heating stove that some hairdressers use for heating curling irons would do the trick. Its small enough and gets really hot. http://www.sallybeauty.com/ceramic-thermal-stove/SBS-566101,default,pd.html#start=4

    Should you ever pursue more than one idea?

    IDEA 
    Thanks for all the replies! I was more thinking along the lines if what @throttleforward said about having multiple ideas in the testing phase...I'm currently looking at both a saas model and a publishing model that has a lot of potential. I'm not "married" to any particular idea...once...

    Should you ever pursue more than one idea?

    IDEA 
    Would just like to get the views of the community on this. Most people emphasize focusing on ONE thing, then there are others that advocate for taking advantage of additional opportunities if they present themselves and you have the organization and capacity to get more than one thing off the...

    You're from where??

    I'm from the tiny island that roars; Jamaica...Kingston to be exact. Home of Reggae music, Usain Bolt, Jerk Chicken, Bob Marley, and Rum. :-)

    Better than niches...?

    MARKETING 
    "Everybody’s obsessed with finding a niche when what they should be doing is expressing a Worldview." ~ Amy Hoy As an aspiring Saas builder, I've followed Amy Hoy's no-bullshit blog www.unicornfree.com for some time. This particular nugget of wisdom from her is perhaps the most 'slap-me-awake'...

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the encouragement guys...I really appreciate it. Its so easy to feel like you're all alone with your big dreams and the little voice in your head asking "why me" gets loud sometimes. Totally loving the camaraderie in this community already. :-)

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Has anyone examined this from the perspective of what it is you're actually selling? Sales and great copy can get you into someone's wallet, but what is going to keep you there is the quality of your software. If you're selling Saas...churn will kill you if your product sucks. If you're...
