    Social network for small businesses

    You guys are welcome to take a look at the prototype site. We definitely need to improve how the site is marketed and explained. www.qcardme.com

    Good point. Thanks!

    Social network for small businesses

    IDEA 
    Well, there is nothing wrong with persistence but if the market doesn't want or need your idea then no amount of persistence will make it succeed. I am going to validate the idea based on the method in The Right It AND if it passes the validation I will continue to pursue it. I know that I am...

    Social network for small businesses

    IDEA 
    I agree. We are trying to do too many things in one app but we don't know which particular functionality to focus on as we haven't gotten any feedback about anything in particular. I don't have a problem giving up. In my mind this was a doomed product because we didn't validate the idea...

    Social network for small businesses

    IDEA 
    We actually built a prototype of this AFTER we went around and spoke to a couple of small businesses. When we told them what we had in mind they all seemed excited about it and said let me know when it's ready! Once the prototype was ready we sent it to them and most of them didn't even sign up...

    Social network for small businesses

    IDEA 
    The advantages seems clear to me but then again, what I may find to be a benefit others may not which seems to be the case here. I am currently using a bunch of different apps to run my business. If I could find one that did a lot of these things on some basic level I would find that to be very...

    Social network for small businesses

    IDEA 
    Thanks to everyone for your feedback. I can definitely sense some strong resenting to just the idea and that's never a good start. In fact, no one seems to think it even has any value. It's interesting to see that everyone seems perfect fine doing things the way they are currently being done...

    Social network for small businesses

    IDEA 
    Good points and suggestions but... 1. You don't see stuff from businesses who you are not a customer of or they are not a contact of yours. 2. TRUST: how do we trust businesses? We look at their reviews and associations. If we can see, for example, a friend is already a customer of a business...

    Social network for small businesses

    IDEA 
    Yes you right but my issue with FB is that it has never really worked for me. I have a B2B business. I can't add my clients as followers to my FB page. It may work for a B2C business that sells low price items not sure. Also, there is no easy way for me to simply list my products and services...

    Social network for small businesses

    IDEA 
    A business would benefit from the following functionality: 1. An online profile/website that includes all of their products and services. 2. The ability to interact with your customers without having to pay marketing fees. (When you create a FB page and post something on it, only if you pay...

    Social network for small businesses

    IDEA 
    No one would be able to spam you unless you were connected with them. If you didn't want to see their updates or you were getting unwanted messages you could simply disconnect them or block them from contacting you. Well, it would work pretty much like Facebook except your friends would be your...

    Social network for small businesses

    IDEA 
    Is there a need for something like this? As a small business owner I don't find LinkedIn particularly useful and I've never found anything else that was a Facebook for small businesses which I have find strange - given how many of us there are out there. The closest things are forums like this...

    AMA - I built a software company worth 8 figures

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION AMA 
    Congrats! I have a software dev/consulting company but I have been trying, for years, to launch a SaaS product and have failed so far. The trick seems to be finding a niche or finding someone to work with in a niche. How much of your success do you feel can be attributed to you being able to do...

    I must not want it

    There is a saying: everything in moderation. Focusing too much on something could also be counter productive. This is why Google has all sorts of distraction built into their workspace.
