    Is it bad to cross-post blog articles?

    Second Opinion on Business Niche - Computing Education

    A while back I had some coaching and my mentor reckoned that "GCSE and A Level Computer Science" was a viable niche to build a business in. Now this was a guy I respect, but it must be said that he was charging a high rate and didn't seem interested in putting any time or effort beyond the...

    According to "SE Ranking" 2,900 people a month are searching for "gcse computer science ". Is it worth going there if making money is a priority for me? Especially considering many of those searches will be by teachers, whose average budget in UK schools for CS education is close to zero...

    How long before I see Progress?

    EXECUTION 
    I've been working seriously for about 4 months on my business, which is in the Computer Science education space.
