I've successfully...
* launched DNSimple (https://dnsimple.com/ https://dnsimple.com/) and got my first 100 customers.
* moved to somewhere less expensive yet still quite comfortable and started reducing my personal debt.
I've learned...
* a ton about building and running a business on a bootstrap budget.
* that really working 8 hours of billable time is exhausting and that working as a salaried worker is way easier than working hourly.
Next year I hope to...
* make DNSimple take off and generate 10x the revenue it generates now so I can reduce the amount of time I need to spend on contract work.
* pay off all of my personal credit card debt.
* enjoy every day and make the most of life.
Good luck to everyone in 2011 and remember to do what makes you happy and enjoy your lives while you can.
- benologist 16y agoDNSimple looks really, really cool. But what about high volume people?
- nailer 16y agoIt's easy - I'm one of his customers! (I use his DNSimple for a second startup I'm developing). They have a REST API and it makes bulk registering really easy. He already had a pre-done Rail client, I made a Python one at: https://github.com/mikemaccana/dnsimple-python https://github.com/mikemaccana/dnsimple-python
- benologist 16y agoI mean high volume as in millions of people a day querying a single domain, not the other high volume heh.
