>Building a service that sells subscriptions for $9 a month. 1000 users and you already have a good salary. Twitter, Facebook or Google are exceptions. Few startups succeed that way. But a web service, microISV... succeed if you work them the way it should. Can you give me some examples of Micro-ISVs? I spent years during my first time in college learning affiliate marketing, (at the same time I learned my degree) which sounds similar, and I became an expert in Adwords, marketing, keywords, niche research etc, but I could only ever break even. It was extremely frustrating to spend so much time at it and eventually having to give up. On Medicine again, I quite like the idea of helping people, such as in a charity like Doctors Without Borders, but it's just a dream right now. To each his own I guess.
