I graduated from university a year and a half ago and started my own web business. The company now makes enough money to support myself entirely. The business was borne out of desperation. I needed to make money quickly so I spent a weekend thinking about: 1) What other people were doing online that made money; 2) Where my unique set of skills and experiences would give me a competitive advantage; 3) Whether I could build the business and start making sales without the need for cash upfront (I had none); I settled on selling law revision notes to those studying UK law (www.oxbridgenotes.co.uk). Having studied UK law I could easily spot high quality revision notes. I knew my market. I knew what law students wanted and what their concerns were. I knew exactly what terms they type in Google when faced with a difficult essay. These were my competitive advantages. The "make money" aspect is very important. Too many startups I see around me (I'm in Ireland) come up with a "great idea" which ultimately never makes a penny. Don't be one of those people. Ask yourself "what can I do that could __make__ __money__ within two months" and you will be off to a good start. You said you've started a few good projects. I suggest that once you find a project that makes money (assuming you haven't already) you should drop the other projects and focus all your energies. You can always return to the other projects once you're rich. -- Jack Kinsella
