Making revenue projections is useful when you have something concrete to work with, but otherwise it gets in the way of actually making money. The most important part is collecting your first few bucks. Something clicks the first time you get someone to take out their wallet. Like Jason Fried has been known to say "learning to make money is like learning to play the piano: the more you practice, the better you get at it." Your product needs to be less perfect than you think. The hard part is getting your product under the noses of the right customers - and enough of them to actually make your first sale. After that, you can learn through trial and error - and start making reliable projections.
