FillSkills.com - The idea was to allow people to aquire skills based on market demand. I got market demand by looking at how many jobs are on offer for the skill, the salary data for that skill and the historical data if available. Started with software only. Kept building the tech. Spent no time or money in doing market research or marketing. Was afraid to share it thinking people would laugh at it or say something hurtful.
- cheez 10y agoGotta tell you: when I looked at your idea, I was thinking "wow, I could totally use that." You do have to get used to being told you suck. I've got customers who have been using my software every day, for almost a decade, who still complain. Just had a call with one this past week and for the first time ever, he didn't say it sucked. But then I got an email from him two days later and the suck was back. This is life. Don't let it get you down. Every piece of feedback is a "dot" creating the pointillist painting of what your market wants.
- fillskills 10y agoThanks! That means a lot. I have been getting that from reading HN for a while. The community here is very supportive of allowing people to make mistakes and continue improving and growing. I think it maybe time for me to give this idea another shot.
