I understand her point. However, if I am offering one thing but people keep repeatedly asking for another thing, then maybe that other thing is what I should (also) be offering. Seems like pretty good feedback from the market.
- JacobAldridge 17y agoTrue, but that assumes she's not achieving her measures of success via her current offering. Listening to feedback and iterating is great, but if I want a $10M business and build a $10M business, that doesn't mean I should listen to feedback that could make it a $20M business.
- patio11 17y agoPeople often repeatedly ask you for things which are bad ideas for you to offer, though. Web design is, ahem, being quickly commoditized at all but the highest levels. If you command a good wage as a print designer, and fill as many hours as you care to sell, why would you start at the ground floor in something you're not good at competing with more skilled, more experienced, more technical folks willing to work for $15 an hour? Similarly, I will probably never implement my #1 feature request ("How can I make cards with pictures?") If anyone here thinks they can bang that out in the proverbial weekend a) if you do I will send you customers and b please tell me if the support burden ends up being as hellacious as I expect it will be.
